Layla Magneffect: Black Metal!

Just a quick one today! Nothing new to report here. I hope everyone had a great Easter. It was nice to have 4 days off but it went quick. Onto today's nails....

(all pics are clickable to make large)
Outside, Sunlight

This is Layla Magneffect Magnetic polish in Black metal. Show here is two coats. I apply one coat first without using the magnet on all my nails then i go back and do one nail at a time putting the second coat on and using the magnet. I like how it came out. I need to practise more with the placement but i'm happy with it. =)

March Haul: Embarrassingly heavy pics!

Hi guys,
This is my Monthly haul for March! It is embarrassing (but freakin' awesome!) the amount i have accumulated over this past month!   Hopefully i can hold out buying much in April... Although i did just buy my first lot of A England polishes last night! I got 4 which you won't see until the next haul post =P

I ducked into Terry White Chemist at the start of the month to see if the new Ulta3 Metallics were in but they didn't have any! (and still hadn't though out the month and also now) but i did find these in a little basket at the checkout on clearance.

Jumpin' Jade $8, Blazing Blue $8, Maybelline Ridge filler $2!!

 Then while in the same trip i strolled down to Kmart and they had Rimmel London on special for $4 off their entire cosmetics range! (Also while i was at Kmart i checked out their Sally Hansen stand and found the same Blazing Blue i had just purchased at TW only minutes before, for a mere $4!! Peeved much!)

Green with Envy $4, Mocha Fever $2, Azure $2

As most of you know i went to the Grand Prix earlier this month! It was awesome by the way! On the Monday before heading home we had a little bit of time to do some shopping. I knew Priceline had Orly's for $4.99 each and i couldn't find any at my local one before heading to Melbourne, so i had a look at a Priceline over there and found these 4 beauties. These are apparently old stock. The 30th Anniversary one is from 2005 and the others around the 2009 era! You could tell that these were old stock and had probably been sitting on a shelf in storage for many years. The few Pricelines i checked after this were all the same! They are still good though... They just need a little shake and they are good as new.

Fifty-Four (30th Anniversary Ed. came with a "30" keyring), Sugar, Walk down the Aisle, Vanguard Violet.

While i was at the same Priceline at Chadstone in Melbourne i spotted the Face of Australia Barbados collection. They were on special for $3.96 instead of $4.95. I picked up 4 (plus the Orly's) and headed for the checkout. 10 minutes later i went back for the other 4! haha

You blue me away, Calypso - Gold, Orange you glad you came?, Another Daiquiri Please.


Bright Lights.. Pink city, Let's go Scuba Diving, I like to Mauve it, Party at the Gap.

Then i went to Oz Nail and Beauty Supply in Braybrook (where i always have to go when i head to Melbourne) and picked up these Beauties!

Layla Magneffect Magnetics in 04 Turquoise Wave, 12 Black Metal. These were $12 each which was cheap for Layla magnetics.

China glaze White cap $6 and 2NITE $8, Orly Androgynie $8


 These from the China Glaze hunger Games collection:
Riveting, Foie Gras, Stone cold, Electrify. All $6

 These from the China Glaze Eye Candy collection:
Marry a Millionaire, Love Marilyn, Some like it Haute. All $8

China Glaze Magnetix collection:
You move me, Attraction. These were expensive at $12 which i didn't know until at the checkout but got them anyway!

And their Magnet.


Then i thought that was enough for the month, i had spent enough....... *gulps*
I went to Target to waste some time before starting work last Monday and got these at 25% off plus i had a $20 gift card to use.

Revlon Matte Suede in Ruby Ribbon, Radiant, Scandalous (aka Facets of Fushia) and Popular (aka Starry Pink) 


 So not being able to pick up the Ulta3 Metallics at Terry White, i emailed the Heat group and they sent me a list of chemists that had ordered in the new collection. Only three in Adelaide had, 2 in the Central Markets and 1 at Bridgewater. So even though Bridgewater is closer to me, i was heading to the Adelaide Central Markets anyway, so i picked these up only yesterday!

Copper, Burnt Orange, Shiraz, Pinot


Antique Gold, Cocoa, Jade, Enchanted.


So that was it! haha Hope you liked seeing what i got this month. Do you have any of these polishes? Which is your favourite?

See you next time

Layla Magneffect Turquoise Wave!

Ok.... So i am back from Melbourne and surgery. Melbourne was awesome! Had a fantastic weekend at the F1 Grand Prix, did a little bit of nail polish shopping on the Monday (Look out for my March haul post soon) before venturing back home to Adelaide to have surgery on Tuesday for my wisdom teeth. Surgery went better than expected! I had 6 teeth pulled altogether (wisdoms + 2 others on my bottom jaw, due to overcrowding) I didn't have any bruising at all nor did i have much swelling, so i'm very lucky and happy with that. With that said it's still sore, sensitive and very tender even after 5 days, which means i still can't eat anything solid. So it's smoothies, up & go's, clear or puree'd soups, iced coffee, applesauce, custard, yogurt etc for me for probably the next week or so still. I did manage scrambled eggs last night but had to "gulp" them down haha

Anyway, i do indeed have some nails to show! I have had them naked for the last week or so due to not being up to polishing so i was looking forward to painting them last night!

This is one of my first magnetic polishes. I picked up this one and Black Metal Layla magnetics and two China Glaze magnetics from Oz nail & beauty supply when i was over in Melbourne. The Layla ones were cheap at $12 each.






This is Turquoise Wave. This is my first attempt at trying magnetic polishes and i think i did ok! I did one nail at a time and each was only once coat with the magnet placed over each, immediately after. I'm really loving the magnetic polishes at the moment and they are awesome to look at. haha. I hope to get a bit better at placement of the magnet but i'm happy with this first attempt.



Hope you enjoy!  See you next time,
