Miami Beet

Hello~ :) I hope you all enjoyed the little peek into my polishing world in the past few posts. Today I have for you one of the rarer colour shades in my collection - a red(ish) polish! This is two coats of OPI's Miami Beet. I was quite pleasantly surprised by it seeing as I wasn't expecting much, but yay, another red family polish which I like has been added to my collection! :)

I'm going to be busy this upcoming week too so posts may not be as frequent. I'm actually sporting naked nails at the moment, it's been a looooong time since I haven't had polish on my nails :P. I wonder how long it'll last?

Polish spreadsheet

Although I can hardly say I'm an organised person, when it comes to nail polish, I'm super organised :P. I have a spreadsheet typed up on my laptop of all the nail polish in my collection. I thought I'd share the spreadsheet since people have been commenting on my giveaway form for some stash posts :). Photos of my stash can be seen here. There is also a tab I've added at the top of my page so that it will be easy to find this spreadsheet.

My nail polish stash :)

One of the requests in my giveaway form is to post about my nail polish stash :). I've been on a no buy since the beginning of this year (and it's working! I haven't bought any polishes even though I've been tempted on several occasions :P) so I thought now would be a good time to share my stash.

I keep my polishes in a clear rectangle container which I can shove under my bed and out of the way :P. Currently it holds about 125 bottles of polish; my untrieds are stored in another smaller container next to my bookshelf. All photos are taken indoors under natural light. They are most certainly not all colour accurate - some polishes came out fine in the photos and others were just...woah o__o. So please don't use these as references :).

My Ulta3 polishes. They are by far the cheapest polish brand I've come across in Australia, hence why I have so many of them haha.

My work station

I'm away on camp this week so this is a scheduled post amongst others :). I thought it'd be a good idea to take the opportunity to share some 'behind-the-scenes'. To kick things off I have for you today a photo of my work station. It's by no means professional; I'm a student and have to make use of what I have unlike some bloggers who can dedicate an entire room to nail polish *jealous* :P.

This table is right next to my study table - it's actually a little distracting since I'm always tempted to do my nails when I'm meant to be studying :P. I like to keep some nail art tools at hand in case the urge pops up to do some nail art haha. I also use a placemat to protect the table top while I paint my nails. Like I said, it's not much but I do like it and enjoy doing my nails even more now that I have a work station hehe. Before this I used to do my nails on my study table which was just plain annoying since I'd have my laptop nearby and I'd be paranoid I'd spill things onto it.

I'll have a couple of stash related posts up later on this week!

Water marbling with holos

Hello~^^ I tried water marbling the other day with some holos; lets just say that they dry extremely fast o__o! I started off with one coat of Color Club's Wild at Heart as the base colour and then marbled with Revvvolution and Wild at Heart. Photos holding the polish bottle are taken indoors under natural light, the other two taken under sunlight.

My favourite nails are the middle and ring fingers~

Right hand:

Favourite nail is the middle finger :).

I'll be going away for the next few days so some scheduled posts should be on the way.

Some 3D nail art

Earlier today, I saw Katrina's recent mani and had the urge to pull out my rhinestones and do something with them too :P. I used two coats of China Glaze's Light as air and Ulta3's spring shower in the mani. My topcoat totally bubbled on my left hand which is why I'm showing my right hand. It's not as apparent irl, but my camera picks up the tiniest detail - not handy this time. Photo was taken indoors with flash.

I like that it spices up the manicure but is so simple at the same time :). I need to use my rhinestones and pearls more often!

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms - Diamond

Woooo, another gorgeous holo polish! :) Following the release of China Glaze's Tronica Collection, I thought I'd jump onto the holo bandwagon and show you an old but beautiful polish by Sally Hansen.

Diamond is a silver holo polish with scattered holo effects. It's also quite thin and I could have probably used a third coat in my mani. The drying time however, was longer than usual (compared to my previous experiences with holo polishes) and since I needed to sleep, I applied a top coat over the polish even though I hadn't intended to do so initially. I took a gazillion photos when the sun finally peeped out from behind the clouds for five minutes, but narrowed down to only sharing four photos :P.

Definitely click the photos to see Diamond in its fullest glory!

The photo below shows Diamond blurred so you can see the rainbow of colours. Isn't this polish just amazing? *___*
