Tara's Talons Luxury Cruise Nail Polish Review


Well today, we have more polish! Yey I hear me say! This is another lovely creation from Tara over at The Tara Emporium. This polish is a lovely silver with a blue tinge. I thought it also had a very subtle holo effect, which I just loved, it looked fabby under lights and in the sun! It was hard to capture on camera annoyingly though, but keep an eye out!


This is two coats of Luxury Cruise with an accent nail of Mentality Scalawag. I thought these went well together due to the tinge of blue, and again another subtle holo effect.


Then, not being one to leave a good mani alone, I hit it up with some different stamping effects. I decided to tone this together with a sea or water theme. I used the moyou london sailor plate for these images. I wore this for 4 days without any chipping, really great long lasting polish!


I like the subtle sea effect here and I felt that it really tied the two colours together well. Luxury Cruise is a great colour and very different from other silvers I have in my collection! Please feel free to head over to check out all the lovely Tarastalons polishes and the other amazing treats Tara is creating! She's also on Instagram (@thetaraemporium) and Facebook and always posting new polishes I want to buy! Next one I'm after has to be her gorgeous holo top coat! I can't resist me a good holo in general! Hope you guys have a good week! See you soon!

Tara's Talons - Scrumping Nail Polish Review




Finally, we're back to the things I love! Oh yup, it's nail polish! This little cutie is called 'Scrumping' and it's made by the lovely Tara from Tara's Talons and The Tara Emporium. Tara's Talons is the longest running UK indie nail polish brand and I just love all her creations! There's such a selection to look through and I like the fact you can get them in bigger or smaller bottle sized options as well, means I can buy more I guess? hehe. Anyway! onto this little polish first of all!


I decided for this mani to use another polish underneath Scrumping, just to help really bring out the glitter as well as saving polish I guess! The picture at the top of the post (nail wheel) shows 2 coats of Scrumping on it's own, and this one is one coat of NYC Foil polish in Magic Earth, topped with 1 coat of Scrumping. I thought this colour really complimented Scrumping, and it really brought out the glitter. Scrumping is a light green polish with glitter fragments in red, light green, dark green and tiny gold glitter as well. it really reminded me of leaves for some reason, so I decided to stamp some on it too!


I used the Moyou London Mother Nature plate to do the leaves and I love how subtle they came out, just felt it added something different too! 


I really like how this mani turned out, what do you guys think? I've posted very little about nails so far because I'm so nervous around my pictures! I need to work on getting them perfect still, but I hope they let you see how lovely this polish is! I've got another review of another Tara's talons polish coming up this week as well, so hopefully I'll see you again for that! Please head on over to visit Tara's store online as well and check out her awesome selection of polish! She does custom polish as well, so there's so many options! And recently she's started selling cute midi rings and lovely soap and hand care products as well, so there's a lot to see! I certainly love the polish, so I'm sure anything else will be funky as well! Tara's always popping up pics of her lovely creations on instagram (@thetaraemporium) and Facebook as well, so head over for nosy if you fancy! See you guys later on!
