Blue, gold and a bow

Hi everyone! My backlog continues as this post features my nails from last month. I've been hanging onto the 3D blue bows for quite some time without an occasion to wear some blinged up nails. Well, the occasion never came, but I still wanted to wear them, so I paired the bow up with some gold and blue :) I chose OPI Can't find my Czechbook and Orly Bling to match the bow and also...

Stay tuned for a few more posts before the New Year! :) Thanks for reading. ...

Christmas nails 2014

Hello everyone. Here is my belated post sharing what I wore for Christmas this year. In fact, I was in the mood for some detailed freehand nail art (detailed in my terms, of course!) so I went with painting on a nativity scene! I found Jacki from Adventures in Acetone's gorgeous creation and just had to try it myself. I would have loved to have added some camels and wise men, but this alone took...

An Enchanting Christmas tree

Hi everyone :) I can't believe it's only 2 more days until Christmas - where has 2014 gone?! As usual, I'm not one for themed nail art ideas, but I couldn't pass up a cute dotted Christmas tree look using my very own Picture Polish Enchanting. I started with two coats of Enchanting on my index and ring finger. I then created the scaled gradient with Picture Polish Kryptonite on my ring finger...

A-England Saint George

Hello hello :) After the amazing holographic Orly Mirrorball, I was still quite in the mood to stare at more holographic goodness, so I pulled out A-England Saint George. It's not the most holographic polish I own - actually it's a lot more subtle in comparison to other shades - but it's a beautiful shade of dark green ♥ Thanks for reading. ~Sha...

Swatches & review: Orly Mirrorball

Hi everyone! As with most nail polish brands, Orly has come out with a Holiday collection and it contains a STELLAR shade (if I do say so myself). Mirrorball is an amazing silver holographic glitter, densely packed and completely opaque in three coats. And even under indirect light, the holographic goodness still comes out to play. Have you picked up this beautiful shade...

Swatches & review: My own Picture Polish Enchanting collaboration shade!

Hi ladies! You have no idea how excited I am to be sharing this with you ^^ This is a secret I have been keeping for the past year and I am finally able to reveal it! To be honest, I wasn't sure of what shade to go with at first when I was initially asked to be a part of a Picture Polish Collaboration release. I really wanted to create a purple shade because well...I adore purple! Picture Polish...

Purple, with a sprinkling of gold & glitter

Nicole by OPI Inner sparkle, Hello Kitty Golden girl and A-England Princess Tears were added to complement the shade :) Do you skittle often? What's your favourite colour to play with? Thanks...

OPI Sheer Tint rainbow

Hello everyone. OPI Sheer Tints seemed to receive a lot of mixed reviews earlier this year and to be honest, my initial experience with them wasn't too great either. Still, they're tints and I wanted to play with some colour so I pulled them out and gave them another chance. I layered the shades over Ulta3 Lily white and overlapped them so that they would mix and form other colours too. I...

Ulta3 Hearts Desire paired with Ozotic 906

Hi everyone. I put together a simple layered look using Ulta3 Hearts desire and Ozotic 906 a while back since I lacked inspiration for my nails. It looks pretty and I kind of regret not trying it with a matte top coat over it! Thank you for stopping by. ~Sha...

Swatches and review: Kitty Got Claws

Hi everyone! Today, I have a new-to-me brand to share with you all. Kitty Got Claws is an Australian brand established by Deana Sarwari, who says: "Our nail polishes are quick drying, chip resistant, non yellowing, high gloss finish, UV protected, easy to apply, suitable for vegans." That's a rather huge claim, so let's see if the nail polishes live up to the description! First up is Bridal...

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pinky Promise & Get Mod

Hey everyone! :) Here is a look I put together using Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pinky promise and Get mod. A very simple skittle look, which I wore on a 3 day trip. I was very impressed with the wear since I expected some chipping. The most I got was a little bit of cracking on my third day of the trip (5 days into the manicure though!). I think I've learnt how to use the gel top coat properly...

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel - B Girl & Street Flair

Hi everyone! Here is the second post featuring two shades from Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel. I decided to go with a nail art look and created a skittle using Be girl and Street flair. I found the top coat dried quicker this time because I was more aware of needing to expose it to natural UV light :P My nails were totally dry under 10 minutes! I found the two shades complemented quite nicely...

Swatches & review: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Street Flair

Hello everyone :) So Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel may be old news now, but here are my thoughts on Street flair anyway. A few months back, the Miracle Gel line was launched in Australia, with the selling point being the ease of removing normal nail polish, but the lasting power of gel nail polish. I have a three part post featuring some looks using a few of the nail polishes, so stay...
