Alter Ego Women Inherit The World Swatches (Velocirapture Collection)
Another polish from Alter Ego’s Velocirapture collection, Women Inherit The World. This is the most summery and feminine of the five shades in this Jurassic Park inspired release. A peachy shade with a chrome base. It is also a little less opaque so while it still stamps well, you will need two coats of Alter […]
Paint It Pretty Polish It Ain’t Over Till It’s Clover Swatches
I have mentioned Paint It Pretty Polish before. She was nice enough to make me a custom polish in memory of Izzy when she died last year. It is also a Canadian brand and local to me so I am happy to see that she is a maker at Indie Expo Canada this weekend. I […]
Alter Ego Hold Onto Your Butts Swatches (Velocirapture Collection)
The Velocirapture collection from Alter Ego continues to excel with the beautiful blue Hold Onto Your Butts. Similar in tone to darker denim, this has a blue colorant with a chrome base.

Alter Ego She’s A Brick House Swatches (Fan Faves Collection)
Another polish from Alter Ego’s Fan Faves collection. This is She’s A Brick House. A dark berry almost burgundy red with a gold shift in some lighting. It appeared quite vampy in the bottle but is a bit brighter on the nail. It is almost a one coater but I needed a second to get […]
Alter Ego Silver Lining Swatches (Fan Faves Collection)
Another polish from the Alter Ego Fan Faves Collection! Silver Lining has a cool silver base with gunmetal micro-glitter. As soon as I put matte top coat on this one, it became my favourite of the collection. Another great thing about Alter Ego Silver Lining is that you can get away with one generous coat […]

Alter Ego Spring Rain Swatches (Fan Faves Collection)
Another favourite from the Alter Ego Fan Faves collection. Spring Rain is a gorgeous bright medium blue with shimmer and scattered holographic particles in it. This one is a little textured so best used with a thick top coat to smooth it out. The glitter in this just glows on the nail and in the […]
