Hi ladies~ Like I mentioned in my previous post, I have recently gotten into nail polish rings. I've had the materials for awhile, but have been so caught up and busy with uni, prac and assignments that I've hardly had any time to make any! So, here are four that I've made so far. Three of them are made based on past notds which I really liked (and will include a link to the original post) and of...

Review: Born Pretty Store Hello Kitty ring
Hellohello! I've got such a gorgeous ring to feature in this post today :) One other thing I'm really into besides nail polish is definitely rings. And whilst I don't hoard collect it like I do with nail polish, I can't pass up on the really pretty ones. Which is why when I discovered nail polish rings, I totally had to jump on board and make some myself...but more about that in a later post :)

Review: Born Pretty Store stamping plate m65
Hey ladies~I have a Born Pretty Store stamping plate m65 to share with you today. But first, here's a story on my stamping adventure.
When I first ventured out into the stamping world 2 years ago, I found the technique difficult and time consuming. So I gave up. It wasn't until I decided to give it another go with stamping plate CK-05 (again, from Born Pretty Store) did I discover...

Review: Born Pretty Store dried flower
Hi everyone :) I recently received some items from Born Pretty Store to review. Today I have some dried flower which can be used for nail art. The kit comes with 12 randomly selected dried flowers and costs $7.08 per kit. I found from the two little pots of flowers I used (will have to check with the other ones to see if they're the same), there are only enough flowers included for one hand...

Purple and gold glitter sandwich
Hi everyone~I'm loving glitter sandwiches lately and so I decided to try a combo with purple :) I started off with two coats of Essie St Lucia lilac then layered over it a coat of China Glaze 5 golden rings and Essence Make it golden. I then added two coats of Flomar #20 to give it the glitter sandwich look.
I really love how the gold glitter looks over the pastel purple :) And the...

Summery skittles
Hi ladies~ I was in the mood for skittling again and despite the cool temperature of Australian autumn, I decided to go with some bright, summery colours to match the sun we've been having. It's not the most cohesive skittle mani I've done, but it's really bright and happy so I really don't mind <3
Nail polishes used:
China Glaze Caribbean blue, Ahoy!
Zoya Tiffany, Dannii, Ivanka

A-England Saint George
Hello hello :) I have another A-England pretty today, it's Saint George from The Legends collection. Let me start off by saying this - even though it's not the most holo of the polishes in the collection (that I have), its opaque nature really makes up for it. I only applied one coat in the photos below and just look at the awesome coverage! And even though it's so opaque, it doesn't...

A-England Princess Tears
Hi ladies~I have such a beauty to show you all today! Despite being a little late to jump onto the A-England nail polish bandwagon, I'm really glad to have finally hoped onto it! I did show a little teaser of the polishes I bought awhile ago - I decided to purchase three polishes from the recent A-England The Legends collection, and one more from The Mythicals collection. First up today...

Review: Born Pretty Store stamping plate
Hi everyone~ Recently, I was contacted by Nicole from Born Pretty Store, asking me if I'd like to review an item from their online store.

You can be sure to find a number of nail art items such as rhinestones, pearls, nail art brushes, stamping plates...the list really does go on! I chose to pick out an item I am not usually confident...

Swatches and review: OPI The Amazing Spider-man collection
Hi ladies~ I thought I'd put together a post of the polishes I showed the past few days just so that it will all be in one place - it's probably more helpful :) You can click on the name of the polish to go to the individual post on the polish.
Call me Gwen-ever is a lovely coral-orange crème. It's bright, but not as bright as a neon. The swatches below show two coats of the awesome orange....
