Leighton Denny Pillow Talk

Good afternoon all!  I took a "me" day and enjoyed some time to myself this morning.  Of course I did have to drop off my car at the shop first, but then it was Starbucks and pedicure and yummy lunch!  I think I need to do these pampering days more often because I seriously get so bogged down with the daily routine.  Plus happy mom = happy family, right?  Right.  Of course I am off topic, so let me re-direct.  Today I have a gorgeous color from a UK brand that I hadn't heard of before (until CosmoProf of course).  But this color is so sexy and romantic I figured it was the perfect time to share it!  Leighton Denny is a nail care brand that was founded in 2005.  This 3-free, cruelty-free brand is full of glamour and on trend fashion which makes it a big hit with celebrities.  Some of the collections I saw on the convention floor were stunning!  The only back draw that I see is that USA gals and guys can't get the polish here!  Unless I missed a stockist link in the their info pages.  So if you find out a way to get Leighton Denny please comment below so we can all enjoy the shopping experience!

Stargazer 128

Good morning lovelies!  I have a real beauty to share with you today.  Yet it's a brand I hadn't heard of until very recently.  From my research on the website I learned that Stargazer was founded in 1978 in the middle of the punk rock scene in London.  So they have been around for a good while and were definitely influenced by punk rock.  My friend Gina sent me a couple of these in a swap package and color me impressed.  Thanks for the awesome polish girl!  

This beauty has no name, just a number.  That always bothers me because I can never remember names of polish let alone numbers.  128 is a gorgeous polish that falls somewhere between berry and magenta.  But it also has some duochrome to it!  In real like it seems darker purple, and I also see flashes of gold!  Very pretty.  Application was nice and after 2 coats I had a nice rich color pay off.  You can very lightly see the whites of my nails on the tips so if you have longer nails you would probably want to use 3 coats.  The brush was a little wonky but there are really no application or formula issues to report.  I finished this mani with 1 layer of topcoat.
