I am really excited to be talking about the latest Leighton Denny Nail Polish Collection named I AM GODDESS! I just want to comment on how cool it is to have a collection named with the same concept of my blog name I AM SERENE L!!! :D…. & before I get onto the finer details of this post! TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! π I am officially 24.
I’ve always been a huge fan of the Leighton Denny Brand & was excited to try out their latest A/W 15 Collection! Inspired by Greek Goddesses the collection of rich creme colour polishes that feature duo-chrome & glitter to help bring out the inner goddess in you!
‘A Goddess is a female deity, an empowering symbol of femininity Goddess myths are intriguing stories full of love, emotion, passion, and endurance. She will create her ideal life and lives according to her own definition of happiness.’
– Leighton Denny
I’m wearing Aphrodite’s Love & a Mix of Queen Hera topped with Tell me Aurora (Glitter) on Top!!!
The collection includes
Queen Hera – A metallic golden nude that dries into a chrome finish.
Tell Me Aurora – A bejewelled fusion of golden & holographic glitter.
Venus Desire – A rich, deep, chocolate-brown infused with fine rose gold shards for the perfect shimmer finish.
Aphrodite’s Love – A pale olive base injected with a shot of electric purple.
Radiant Rhea – A rich, glossy mahogany cream that finishes into to soft metallic red.
Athena Desire – A midnight blue infused with delivate pink, blue and purple shimmer.
|My Thoughts|
I’m a massive fan of the colour range within the collection itself. I was impressed at first sight with the glitters, the duo-chrome appearance & the packaging of each of the polishes. I think they look great & target the current trends happening within the Fashion & beauty world, especially with the light reflective / duo-chrome & glitter polishes! Even when swatching I was impressed with the actual colour translation & to my excitement the whole collection featured Glitter & I’m a huge fan of glitter so this impressed me even more & more!
I would like to comment however on the actual quality of some of the polishes, sampling the Leighton Denny polishes before, I’ve gone into testing these polishes with the idea that they will be of high quality, from my previous experience with the brand. However for the Β£11 a bottle price you pay for each polish I’ve found myself to be a bit disappointed with some of the polishes within the I AM GODDESS range failing to last longer than a day. I’ve trialled all the polishes within the range and found that Radiant Rhea, & Aphrodite’s Love to chip after one day whilst the other polishes within the range lasted for up to 6 days without chipping. So a bit of a difference in terms of the actual lasting nature of each polish!
Overall I’ve been impressed with the actual colours of the I AM GODDESS nail polish range, but would recommend you buy the individual polishes from the collection instead of the complete set, (you can purchase the individual colours from the website here!) as the quality and lasting nature varies between the polishes & wouldn’t recommend some of the colours in that case.

Oh, Happy Birthday, Serene! I hope you have a fantastic one!
I think the name of the collection itself is absolutely befitting the nail polishes available; the duo chrome and unorthodox colours are absolutely gorgeous! Though it is quite unfortunate that some of them don’t last more than a day or two, I think I’d still love to try them out just because the colours look stunning!
