A black rainbow

Hello there :) Here is a quick and easy glitter gradient using a rainbow glitter and black polish. Two coats of Ulta3 Black satin and the glitter gradient created using Ulta3 Over the rainbow. I then took OPI's Matte top coat to and added it over the glossy finish. Whilst I love the look of matte glitter, I think I prefer the glossy version more : Which version do you like? Thanks...

Swatches & review: Polished London nail polishes

Hi everyone! I recently received some Polished London nail polishes in the mail, which is a brand that is new to me. I have to say that I'm quite liking the formula of these polishes. They flowed easily onto my nails and application was easy. First up is Miss Navy, a beautiful dark blue shimmer. I love the look of depth on this one and I bet it would look magnificent with a matte top...

A rainbow bubble bath

Hey everyone. Since acquiring OPI Bubble bath last year, it lay sadly in my untrieds pile until I finally decided to pull it out the other day. I'm not sure if I'm totally in love with this sheer nude - it's a very close shade to my skin tone and if it weren't for the fact I created a glitter sandwich with it, I think I would have had mannequin nails. I used OPI Rainbow connection for the...

Swatches & review: Fuse Gelnamel starter kit

Hi everyone! Today, I have a review of Fuse Gelnamel Starter Kit. Fuse is a new-to-me brand which has recently launched in Australia. What makes Fuse stand out amongst the other gel nail polish brands in the market is the travel friendly LED lamp and the idea of having a base coat, colour and top coat all in one bottle. The lack of need to apply base and top coats definitely cuts down on the...

Swatches & review: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

Hi ladies! Today I have three polishes from Sally Hansen's complete Salon Manicure range to share with you. The polishes featured are definitely shades which I would not normally reach for - bold red and pink shades, as well as a pale peach which usually clashes with my skin tone. First off, this is actually my first time trying out the Complete Salon Manicure range and I have to rave a little...

Swatches & review: OPI Gwen Stefani collection (Part 2)

Hi ladies! Last year, I shared with you some swatches of OPI's Gwen Stefani collection (which you can find here). I recently received the rest of the nail polishes in the mail and so here are my two cents on them and the collection as a whole :) 4 in the morning is a satin finish black crème. If you look closely, you can see that it has a fine silver shimmer, which I'm sure will come...

Shopping the Stash: Q for QueenB

Hi everyone. Because I don't own any nail polish brands which begin with the letter Q, I pulled out my only nail polish which began with the letter - China Glaze QueenB. Rather than have a plain crème polish manicure, I layered OPI I lily love you over the top of it. I'm loving the way this layering came out and it reminds me that I should probably pull out I lily love you to wear...

Soft and sweet

Hey ladies! When I sat down to create this manicure, I was in the mood for something sweet, so it was no wonder I reached for the sweets design on BM-306. My base shade is two coats of Essie St Lucia lilac. I had always been looking for an occasion to sport this image plate design, so there was really no other appropriate time :P Thanks for reading. ~Sha...

Hey baby, it's a galaxy!

Hi~ :) This is such a lame title, but I do rather like how my nails turned out here haha. I started with two coats of OPI Hey baby and then took Glitter Gal Galaxy holo top coat to create a pink holographic finish. I'm pretty in love with the way this turned out ♥ Do you own a holographic top coat? What would you layer it over? :) Thanks for reading. ~Sha...
