Merry Christmas!

Just a quick post to say Merry Christmas!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with friends, family & loved ones. 

I am now on 3 and a half weeks holidays. Yaaaaay! Unfortunately i wasn't organised enough to have some blog posts scheduled to go up while i will be away visiting family interstate and having a proper holiday, so the blog is now on holidays too. 

I will be back late January.
See you then!

Aussie nails Monday - Sponging.

Hi everyone!!
Aussie nails Monday again! These weeks are flying by!

This week's nail art is sponging!

This is my second ever sponging attempt. I haven't mastered it yet but i'm fairly happy with how it came out.

Here is my "Toffee Apple" nails!

I used Ulta3 Lily White as my base colour. Then used a make-up sponge and sponged on Ulta3 Sizzling Red, Kiwi Kaos & Lily White. Topped with one coat of Seche Vite QD.

I hate how the middle finger came out but my pinky finger is my favourite!! 

Everytime i looked at them they reminded me of Toffee Apples. I didn't even have it set in my mind to make it like that, but as soon as i had finished doing them, it was the first thing that popped into my head. =)

piCture pOlish - Glitter Ball

Hi all!
I loved my previous Sally Hansen Red Carpet mani so much i decided to add to it rather than take it off!
I decided to do something a little christmas-y and add some glitter.

 I used one coat of Picture Polish's Glitter Ball over the top of the existing SH Red Carpet.

Sally Hansen Red Carpet

Hi all!

I don't usually wear a lot of reds but i got this polish in a grab bag from an awesome fellow Aussie blogger Tara over at Osirisandlokipainttheirnails
I looked at it and thought it had an awesome sparkle in it. I had a plan to use this in another way (that way coming soon) but I had the urge to wear it straight away!
Now that i've worn it, i'm keeping it and now searching for a back-up bottle lol.


Sally Hansen Red Carpet

What do you think? Are you a lover of red polishes?

Aussie Nails Monday - Delicate

Hi all!
Back for another round of Aussie nails Monday!! This weeks challenge was Delicate.
When i saw that it was delicate, i racked my brain trying to think of something to come up with. I always think of lace-y type doily things lol. I did a quick google search and it wasn't as bad as i had thought.

This is what i eventually came up with.

I used two coats of Ulta3's Pale Dahlia as a base colour.  I then used my Konad white polish and Bundlemonster stamping plate BM-310 for the design. It wasn't 100% perfect but i'm really happy with how this came out =) I haven't stamped for a while so it was nice to get my stamping stuff out again. I really need to do more stamping.

KBShimmer Glowstick

Hi all!
A quick one today as i run out the door for work, Urgh!! This part of the week is always the busiest for me and i always seem to fail in blogging this side of Wednesday lol

I have my first (and only at the moment) KBShimmer polish. I bought Glowstick a couple of months ago from a blog sale.

Glowstick is a sheer neon yellow with lots of holographic glitter including hex's, bars & stars. The stars look like they are curled but they're not. They lie flat but my nails are curved so they stick up. Boo!

What i didn't realise, was this is glow in the dark lol. Umm derh! It's called Glowstick, Kelly! Of course it's glow in the dark. As i was oblivious to this, there is no glow photo =(

This was three coats and one coat of SV.

Aussie Nails Monday - Saran wrap/cling wrap nails

I can't believe it's Monday again!! After skipping last Aussie nails Monday due to being sick, i thought i had better not miss this one and get my act together and start blogging again lol

Today, i bring you Saran wrap nails. Also known as Cling wrap or Glad wrap nails.

 I used these two colours for today's mani.

I applied my base colour of Ulta3 Soft Hydrangea, and let it completely dry. I actually did the base colour last night and let it dry overnight as i can be pretty impatient lol

I then used my second colour, Lilac Bloom and gave it one generous coat. One nail at a time i dabbed a ball of Glad wrap over the wet polish to pick up some of the colour. 

Although it is very subtle, i really like this for my first attempt.

What do you think??
