Bella Belle Nail Couture "Prince George"

By now you may know that I LOVE anything to do with the Royal Family. Kate, William and now George are my favourite Royals ever. I was browsing Facebook one night and came across an Australian Indie brand by the name of Bella Belle. I ventured to their page and was hooked as soon as I saw the first swatch of one of their polishes. It was just after Prince George was born and I could not believe when I saw a polish that Vicky (creator and polish whiz) had created a baby blue polish called Prince George. I knew I had to have it. This is my first Bella Belle polish and I ordered another yesterday, I couldn't resist. Bella Belle is owned by Vicky and she is based in Melbourne, Australia. Her polishes are all devine, just take a look for yourselves! 


Prince George is a wonderful baby blue based polish with small blue and gold glitter flecks and larger gold hexagonal pieces. How incredible. I do like wearing blue polishes but I have never found one where I think WOW its beautiful! Until now. I took this shot outside and it is just fantastic, I have no words. The label is so elegant too!


Indoors with flash. Vicky is so creative, each and every polish she has for sale on her Etsy shop comes with a matching ring, it is so pretty! This was 2 coats of Prince George, no top coat and it applied like butter. The first coat was quite sheer but once I added a second, it was completely opaque. I didn't have much trouble with glitter distribution either. Some of the larger pieces did not want to come out of the bottle so more shaking is needed for that! Completely my fault, no way the polishes!


You can see in my bottle how all the glitter has settled, I am not a very good shaker lol. This is one of my all time favourite polishes. Yes, because it is called Prince George but also because of the colour. I am also not a huge glitter polish fan if you hadn't noticed but this one I love. An opaque base colour where you can still easily see the glitter. That's what I like! 

I hope you like these swatches of Prince George! I have discovered a beautiful brand and I HAD to share it with all of you. Vicky has this and more polishes available on her Etsy shop and they range in price from $8 - $11. They are also "5-free". At this stage, shipping is only available within Australia but hopefully once word about these gets out, Vicky can expand her business! 

If you don't have anything like this in your stash already (I certainly didn't!) then you really need it. Enjoy! I get excited every time I look at this polish :)
