The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 7: Ozotic 516

Today is the last day of The Great Aussie Polish Challenge! I'm sad to see it go but i'm sure we will do it again sometime with a different bunch of Aussie polishes.



This has fast become my favourite Aussie brand. Sadly, as most of you know, they are being discontinued soon. So i grabbed a whole bunch of them. Today i have 516 to show.












516 is a light Pink linear holo. Awesome application as always. This was three coats. You could have probably gotten away with two. No top coat was added. Love, love, love this colour. If you don't have it, get it now before they run out! They won't be available soon! 







Please check out the other girls participating in The Great Aussie Polish Challenge. 



So that rounds off this challenge. I have a few things coming up i can't wait to show you. I also have been bad in July. If you all remember i did no-buy July, that didn't turn out great. It was worse than a normal month lol but i'll tell you more next post!
See you soon!

The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 6: Australis Flip Flops

Hi everyone.
Back for the second last Great Aussie Polish Challenge post. I have done well so far i think lol. I don't normally last a full challenge, maybe because it is just one week, not sure.
Anyway, onto today's post.




This is Australis Flip Flops.






Flip Flops is blue with light blue/turquoise micro glitter scattered through it. Awesome summer polish (even though it's winter here lol). Application was good and this was two coats, no topcoat.
Not sure why Australis decided to call this Flip Flops. Here in Australia we call Flip Flops, Thongs. Thongs would sound weird as a name for a polish but Flip Flops are so un-Australian! Derp! 




I then decided to use my new Bundle Monster stamping plates and knew i had seen a thong design in there somewhere. This was Bundle Monster plate BM-309 and i used my go to one coater white Aussie brand polish, Ulta3 Lily White.
I did in the end top it all off with one coat of Seche Vite QD.

See you tomorrow for the last day!

The Great Aussie Polish Challenge & Glitter me up Friday - Peita's Polish Pop Rocks

Hi everyone!

Today i have Glitter me up Friday and The Great Aussie Polish Challenge all rolled into one.
I have an awesome polish to show you from an Aussie indie polish seller that i'm sure hasn't been shown on any blog before.

A few of us in the Aussie Challenge got the chance to have a sneak peak of her polish's before she released them and this one didn't have a name. She said whoever came up with a name for it got a free bottle. I quickly answered with "pop rocks" and everyone agreed. I couldn't wait to try it when it arrived in the mail and what better time to try it out!







This is Pop Rocks!



Pop Rocks is small blue square matte & pink even smaller glitter in a clear base. In the bottle it looks like it would build up but i don't think so. I haven't tried anyway. lol
This was one coat over three coats of Ulta3 Lemon Tart, no topcoat. Formula was awesome and easy to work with. 







If you liked Pop Rocks it is available for purchase on her Etsy Shop for $9au. She does ship internationally too! She also has a Facebook page so check her out there too.

Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 4: Glitter Gal 3D/Holo Red

Hi everyone!
Back for day 4 of the Great Aussie Polish Challenge. Usually it's Glitter me up Friday today but i am actually pushing that into tomorrow. I totally wasn't ready for GMUF, so it will be GMU Saturday lol.











Glitter Gal Red holo is just that! It's a Red linear holo. The holo effect came out alot more IRL than in the pics. =(
This was two coats, no topcoat. I've decided i hate wearing a topcoat when i'm trying to get pics in the sun of gorgeous polish's. It just has too much glare and shiny-ness to it and i want you all to see how it looks without topcoat. I usually put a topcoat on after pics if i'm wearing it for the whole day =) Formula on this and the GG's i have used so far are superb! I do barely any cleanup when i wear a GG, it just glides on.

See you tomorrow for Glitter me up Friday Saturday!

The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 3: You #014

Ohh i hate hate hate numbers on bottles instead of names! Ozotics i'm looking at you too! Just as well you are sooooo pretty!
Today i have another aussie brand polish called "You" or "You Cosmetics" whichever you'd like to prefer. This brand is only fairly new.... that i am aware of. I have seen it started to pop up in Terry White chemists no longer than two months ago. I picked up this colour and two others which you can find here (my first interlocking nail art) just to try and i have been back for more since.





014 is a milk chocolate brown with lots of dark bronze-y shimmer to it. It has an ever so slight streakiness to it but i can forgive it as it's brown... my favourite colour lol. The formula with these brand polishes are pretty awesome! This was two coats with no topcoat. 



I then decide to do something stupid and i wish i hadn't.
I wanted to do nail art but i didn't want to do anything over the top. I wanted to keep it all Aussie still so i used Ulta3 Precious (even the AUS version) and did a not so "funky" french tip. Yuk! Don't like it! lol So it came right off.

See you tomorrow for some more Aussie awesomeness!

The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 2: Love Thy Polish One small Step for Man

Hi everyone!

I am back for day 2 of The Great Aussie Polish Challenge.





Today i have the second polish i own from our own little Aussie Indie polish maker Love Thy Polish
Emma from Nails in the Desert owns this brand and she sells them regularly at her local market and also online on her Facebook page.

This is One Small Step for Man.





One Small Step for Man has a black base with a subtle holo through it. It is quite opaque. This was two coats but you could easily get away with one. No topcoat. Formula was awesome, can't fault it at all. 










I love black holo's, they are just my favourite! You can buy this and many more of her creations on her Facebook page which is linked at the top of this post. Please go and check her out! =)

Product sent to me for review.

The Great Aussie Polish Challenge! Ulta3 Tuesday

Hi everyone!

My pal Nicole over at Epitome of Superficiality came up with an awesome idea to do an Aussie week following the awesomeness that was piCture pOlish's Blogfest yesterday. If you missed my post check it out here.
The first day of The Great Aussie Polish Challenge, for some was yesterday, those who didn't participate in blogfest 2012 and those who decided to add blogfest into their Aussie week. I decided to start mine today and will post each day until, and including Monday. Yay! I feel like i need a challenge to get me back into blogging more. So to kick it off today, today is Ulta3 Tuesday.
Ulta3 is known as a "drugstore" or pharmacy/chemist brand polish. It retails for $2 a pop. Cheapest polish you can buy in Australia just about! I find it fairly good quality too.

Anyway, onto today's Aussie polish.






This is Ulta3 Spellbound. This is part of their magnetic range. These retail for $5. Spellbound is black and silver with a very subtle blue and pink micro glitter. This was two coats. One coat i let dry and then i used the magnet on the wet second coat. No topcoat.

See you tomorrow everyone!!
