A failed skittle

Hello everyone! If you've been following my blog closely, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of the skittle look.

Penguin nail art for winter

Hello ladies~ It's winter and it's cold here in Australia at the moment. We don't get snow where I live but I wanted to sport some winter-themed nails so what's better than some penguin nail art? ;) The base colour is two coats of  Misa Office polish-tics. I also happened to come across an A-England She walks in beauty dupe - Savvy by DB razzle and dazzle a few weeks back at Priceline...

Hello hello :) After swatching all the polishes from OPI's San Francisco collection, I knew there were a few I had to wear as full manicures asap! First date at the Golden Gate was one of them.

Spam post: A mixture of older and newer manicures

Hi ladies! This post really has some old manicures - I think the oldest one comes from December 2012 ;) It's picture heavy so I'll just get right into it. OPI Siberian nights at the tips with Essence Make it golden. I honestly don't remember the pink polish I used in this manicure, sorry! In my defence, this one was definitely one from December last year ^^" Stamping was from fauxnad plate...

Stripey liquorice nails

Hello everyone~ When in the mood for stripey nails, I go to town ;) I started with two coats of Bourjois 2007 1 seconde nail enamel. I then took Bourjois 2006 Clubbing volume clubbing mascara and a black striper polish to add the stripes. Initially, I really liked the finished look. But then my friend said they reminded him of liquorice allsorts...after that, I wanted to repaint my nails haha! Maybe...
