Hello! I can't believe it's been nearly 8 months since I last published anything on here. Since having my little boy, time has gone so quickly and I just haven't sat down to write a blog post. I have been posting much more regularly on Instagram (you can find me @acertainbeccaa here), and have debated popping back over here for a while now - so here I am!
I always love a speckled polish around Easter time, so I figured I'd start there and show you some quick swatches of the ones I've been wearing this year. Read on for my full swatches and more info!

'Swan' is a soft lilac crelly packed full of matte black glitters. Below is three coats with topcoat.

'Magpie' is a minty green crelly packed full of the same matte black glitter. Below is three coats with topcoat.

The next two polishes are both from Cirque Colors.
'Astra' is a pale pink crelly full of speckles. I did struggle a bit with the formula on this one, but it was a well-loved bottle from a destash that seems to have thickened a fair bit. I also forgot that the older Cirque's were lavender scented until putting this on! Below is two coats with topcoat.

I also added a matte topcoat, to make it more 'mini egg' like.
'Hatch' is a white crelly with black speckles. The formula on this one was much better. Below is three coats with topcoat.

What do you think? Are you a speckled polish fan? I just can't escape the comparison in my mind to mini eggs, so they'll always be a firm favourite for me every Easter. I was convinced I had the full Models Own Speckled Egg Collection, and I only had these two, so I'll make it a mission to find the others before next year!
I definitely don't think I'm going to go back to posting on here as much as I was before, but I have missed it. I think I might stick to the odd 'themed' post like this, along with any collection swatches, and the occasional (monthly?) swatch/mani catch up.
Hope to see you in the next post!
