Blue addicted

Hi ladies~ Wow, it's been almost a week since I've last posted! I have a lovely blue glitter polish to show you today - Essence Blue addicted. It's sooooo pretty ^^ ♥ I've always wanted to own Across the Universe by Deborah Lippmann, so this cheap alternative is going to be highly treasured!

I layered one coat of Blue addicted over a coat of China Glaze First mate. First mate is an extremely pigmented crème navy blue and one of my favourites from the Anchors Away collection released at the beginning of this year.

How amazing is Blue addicted? <3

Guess the holo pretty revealed & a gorgeous layering :)

Hi ladies~ I have a lovely layering combination to show you all today! I started off with two coats of China Glaze Emerald sparkle before layering one coat of China Glaze Atlantis over it. Emerald sparkle by itself is simply divine - add on the holo glitter though and you've got nothing short of amazing <3

Oh, and here is the bottle shot of the sneak peek I showed in my previous post :) Yeah, this was in natural light, indoors and no sun. And still so much holo goodness! :D

The most beautiful glitter ever ♥

Hi ladies~ I showed a sneak peek yesterday and thought I'd reveal the answer since I'm so impressed with the result :P I layered one coat of NOPI Kendall on the katwalk over Aldo Little mermaid and was absolutely blown away by the perfection that is this combo. Just look at it!!! ♥♥♥ I think KOTK has shot up my list of favourite glitter polishes-no, my list of favourite nail polishes! I love the mix of purple, green and blue glitter in a teal coloured base. It's honestly soooooooo beautiful I kept staring at my nails :P

I couldn't decide on photos so there's going to be a few more than normal. Enjoy the spammage! <33

Here it is blurred to see the depth of this mani. SO PRETTYYYYYYY~~~^^

Is this glorious or what? :D NOPI nail polishes aren't as readily available here in Australia. You can find them in Terry White Chemists and other select pharmacies in December. Each polish retails for $14.95.

What do you think of this bottled beauty? I have so many layering combinations in mind for it already! ^^

Thanks for dropping by.

Little mermaid

Hey everyone! Woohooo, I just finished my first exam for this semester hehe. One down, only two more to go :)

Anyway, I have a lovely polish to share with you all today. Aldo recently launched a nail polish line and I have for you Little mermaid. It's a beautiful green-teal shade with a shimmer running through it. Anyone else thinks this reminds them of China Glaze Watermelon rind? I don't own it to compare, so I'm not sure if they're dupes. It certainly looks similar though!

This is two coats of Little mermaid. Utter perfection, I tell you. No need to clean up, the polish glided onto my nails <3 It is a little sheer, but it built up by the second coat. A third coat was probably needed as under some light I could see slight VNL. But honestly, it's soooo beautiful. And the formula! ♥♥♥

Before I leave you, I have a glorious polish drop to show you. Any takes as to what it might be? :)

Isn't it pretty?! *______*

Sea gurl mattified

Hello ladies~I showed you what Orly Sea gurl looked like a couple of days ago. I decided to add a matte top coat to it since I haven't mattified any manis in a while :P

What do you think? Matte or glossy? :)

Thanks for reading!

Sea Gurl and some bling tips!

Hello everyone~ I'm still very much into the glitter layering - I really can't stop cos it's so simple and has such a beautiful result ^^

I started off with two coats of Orly Sea gurl from their recent Birds of a Feather collection. I then dabbed on China Glaze 5 golden rings onto my tips, moving from the tip to the middle. For some extra bling, I lightly dabbed on some of OPI Servin' up sparkle. I love the pretty holo glitter mixed in with the gold look! I added some gold sequins I received from my friend for that little extra oomph before finishing off with two coats of top coat.

See the holo glitter coming to life in the sun? ^^

And indoors, with natural light.

What do you think of this mani? I think this will look amazing matte - I might try it out later :D

Rainbow glitter tips

Hi ladies! I'm still very much into the beauty that is OPI Rainbow connection so I decided to use it for some glitter tips :) I'm not sure I like this mani a whole lot but it sure looks very Christmas like! I applied two coats of OPI Your royal shine-ness and then two coats of Rainbow connection at the tips.

I might do something similar when it's closer to Christmas haha. What do you think?

Thanks for reading.

Incredible Ivanka

Hello everyone~ I'm sure you know what the star of this post is going to be - I'm a sucker for alliterations, what can I say? :P I've had Zoya's Ivanka in my untrieds for such a long time so I thought it was time to bring it out and wear it. Plus, I was in the mood for some green after my three weeks of work appropriate shades!

This is two coats of Ivanka. Under direct sunlight, there is visible nail line but it looks fine and gorgeous otherwise. For my accent nails, I applied two coats of OPI Jade is the new black and applied a glitter gradient at my tips. The glitter is none other than Fresh frog of Bel-Air from OPI's recent Muppets collection. It's a sheer green glitter polish so I thought it was better fit for layering. I love the accent it gives, and it matches Ivanka so well too!

It's so nice to have some green on my tips after all this time! What do you think of this mani?

Thanks for reading!

Gone Gonzo!

Hi everyone :) I recently received OPI's Gone Gonzo in the mail and went well...crazy haha. Only because it's a bottle of polish filled up with glorious, glorious glitter ♥

Shown is three coats of Gone Gonzo and there was still some visible nail line. I could have done with an additional coat but I really couldn't be bothered by then :P Each layer dried really quickly though, so that's definitely a plus!

It was a huge pain to remove though, I think I'll be layering it over a base colour next time cos I still love the polish ^^

What do you think of this pretty? :) Do you like glitter polishes?

Thanks for reading.

My address is Hollywood

Hi ladies! Yes, I'm back yet another week later :P I'm currently on prac and absolutely swamped with planning and planning and yes, more planning. This is actually my first night in a week since I've had a chance to paint my nails. Oh well, four days down, only eleven more to go!

Here I'm wearing two coats of OPI My address is Hollywood. If you know me, you know I don't do pink. However, since I'm in a school setting right now, pink is my safest bet if I want to polish my nails. And honestly, I was surprised by this nail polish. I didn't realise it, but there's actually a hidden shimmer in it. It's seriously hidden though, you have to stare at your nails to see it :P

What do you think of this pink nail polish?

A royal flakey

Hi everyone :) I think I've discovered the best flakey combination ever, honest! ♥ I keep staring and staring and staring at my nails - people must think I'm weird for admiring my hands (HA! so they think) so much :P

I applied two coats of Chi Chi Hung up on to my nails before layering two coats of Nubar 2010 over it. SO. MUCH. LOVE. ♥♥♥ I really couldn't decide on which photos to show after taking millions of them, but at least I've narrowed it down to only five :P

The polish came out a little bluer than it really is, mainly because my camera spazzed and couldn't take the awesome that is this combo :) In real life, it's a redder purple shade and actually reminds me a bit of Nfu Oh #51, only not as jelly. Ok fine, they're not thaaat similar but I think this might satiate my lemming for #51!

It is indeed a royal layering, no? ^^ Hmm, I wonder what this looks like matte?

Thanks for looking!

There's glitter and there's crackle

Hello hello! As promised, I'm back with a mani for today :) I was actually all ready to polish my nails but had a little problem - I didn't know what colour to choose! D: Do you ladies feel this sometimes? To think I own just over 200 bottles of nail polish but didn't know which one to use...dilemma!

Anyway, I finally decided on using OPI Last friday night since I love love love the pretty blue-yellow-orange-green glitter suspended in a sheer blue base. I thought I'd layer it over black and then inspiration hit me - why not reverse the colours for an accent nail? So crackle polish was brought out to layer over a blue base shade :)

Oh and I totally chopped my nails while I was sick haha. I couldn't stand the length they were growing to and couldn't be bothered to file them so for the first time in over a year, I brought out my nail clippers :P Hence the nubs and rounded nail shape. I can't wait until they grow back out though, I much more prefer the squoval shape to this.

I applied two coats of Ulta3 black satin and then layered two coats of Last Friday night over it. Don't you just adore the beauty that is LFN? It's just so gorgeous, definitely my favourite polish from the Katy Perry collection! For my accent nail, I applied two coats of OPI Yodel me on my cell and then layered a coat of OPI Black shatter over it.

What do you think of this mani? :)

Birthday mani

Hi ladies~ Apologies for not being around as often these days, I've been busy with uni and on top of that, I've fallen sick :( There seems to be some sort of bug going around - everyone I know is sick or recovering. Anyway, here's a quick update on my birthday mani (it was yesterday. and I was sick :S) before I go and rest a little more.

I applied two coats of OPI Siberian nights onto my index and fifth fingers, then layered with China Glaze 5 golden rings. For my thumb and fourth fingers, I applied three coats of Orly Fowl play. I love the flakies in this polish, I really do <33. On my middle finger, I applied one coat of Ulta3 gold rush fever then used a tape to tape off two thin lines. I then applied a thick coat of OPI Lincoln park after dark suede.

Ahh, not much else to say. I think I'm ready to go to bed again~ Check out my Blog Birthday giveaway if you haven't already!

Storm clouds rolling in

Hi everyone~ Spring in Australia means fluctuating temperatures and weather. One day it's warm and sunny, the next it's cloudy and freezing :(. This mani was totally fit for the cloudy weather we had a few days ago. Too cold!

I applied two coats of Rimmel grey matter onto my nails. I then took my OPI Servin' up sparkle to give the mani some glitter tips. I love how the glitter adds that little extra bling to the mani to make it look more interesting <3.

What do you think of this mani? I've gotta run now, class will be on soon! Don't forget to check out my Blog Birthday giveaway!

The holo purple

Hi ladies :) I'll be heading out to a friend's birthday party tonight and chose out a purple dress to wear. And of course, I had to have matching tips so I pulled out the gorgeous Color Club Wild at heart purple holo to wear. I'm sure it'll still show off it's beautiful holo goodness even under artificial light ♥

I applied two coats of Wild at heart and sealed it with a top coat. All photos are taken under direct sunlight. Just look at the lovely! <33

Ahhh, rainbow dancing on my nails. Loveeeeee! ♥ Do you own Wild at heart? And what's your favourite holo polish? :) Don't forget to check out my Blog Birthday giveaway too, it's ending in 8 days!

Why I love purple

Hi everyone~ I'm still sporting my spring pastel mani so this one's from the vault :) I'm sure you all know of my love affair for purple by now, I harp on about it so much :P Zoya Mimi was no exception to my love and you can see why! ♥ I applied two coats of Mimi onto my nails and sealed it with a top coat. And oops, the flashes of red you see are a reflection of my top!

This is a gorgeous shade of purple, I love it loads <33. The only thing is that the polish does stain, so definitely double up on your base coat. Do you love purple as much as I do? ^^ And have a look at my Blog Birthday giveaway as well!

Black and blingggggg!

Hi lovely readers <3 Today's mani is influenced by my love for dark nail polishes :) For some reason, whenever I'm stuck for ideas on what to wear, black is my go to shade (besides purple, of course). I applied two coats of Orly Matte vinyl onto my index and fifth fingers and two coats of Glitter Gal black onto my middle and thumb. For some extra bling, I layered two coats of Color Club Magic attraction over one coat of Ulta3 black satin.

I love how Magic attraction is so awesome and blingy <3. And of course, black totally jumps to life and shows off it's rainbow holo under the sun. I don't think the holo was photographed too well here, if you want to see it in it's fullest glory, check out my swatch here~ :)

Any lovers of black manis? ^^ Have a look at my Blog Birthday giveaway as well!
