Swatches and review: Covergirl Glosstinis

Hi ladies~ Recently, Covergirl released a new limited edition collection here in Australia. Outlast Stay Brilliant Glosstinis is a line of mini nail polishes which feature eight summery shades - and they are right up my alley right now!


Pina colada is a pastel yellow. I applied three coats to even out the typical yellow-polish-syndrome (i.e. streaky application).

Lemon drop is a bright sunny yellow. This was two coats and was tricky to apply. Application was just a little bit better than Pina colada though.

Sangria is a bright orange shade. It's very bold and bright! I applied two thin coats here.

Covergirl says that this range of nail polishes are only one coaters and require no top coats; however, you will definitely find that the yellow shades require at least two coats, if not three. Yellows are notorious for their streaky behaviour, so this wouldn't have been a big deal otherwise - Covergirl claims these polishes to be one coaters and that is definitely not the case for these polishes.

The Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Glosstinis is now available in Priceline, Target, Kmart, Big W and selected pharmacies across Australia. This is a limited edition line so if you see anything which catches your eye, definitely grab a hold of them now! Each bottle retails for $4.95.

Do you see anything you need, or do you already own something similar?

Thanks for reading.

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 and pounced on it. Of course, I also had to incorporate the pretty polish into this manicure somehow ;) Besides that, I also found Covergirl Midnight magic, dupe for OPI On her Majesty's Secret Service at Target when they had a pretty good sale (same day as when I found razzle and dazzle, actually! What a bargain polish day :P) and so again, I had to use it in this manicure.

The penguin was freehanded using acrylic paint.

The placing of the penguin could have been better but I loved this manicure all the same :) What do you think?
