Lacquer Dreams - Goblyn Pee!

I've had this sitting in my "to be blogged" folder for around 6 months, i reckon! Everytime i open the folder up, it's the first lot of pics i see. Thought i had better blog it! haha I am so into greens at the moment so this is perfect and makes me want to dig it back out of my helmer and wear it again while we are having this hot awesome weather!

The awesome Bec over at Lacquer Dreams made this polish last year sometime. She then had a giveaway of the bottle... I won!! I couldn't believe i won it! Like i said, it's an awesome polish and such a beauty!

Goblyn Pee as she awesomely named it is a bright, almost neon, lime green holo. <3

Sally Hansen - The Real Teal

I picked this awesome polish up for $2 at Cosmetic Fragrance direct when i was in Melbourne at the DFO in January. There were tonnes of these just thrown into a big cardboard display box with another grey colour, which i also picked up. I actually picked up two of each. Why not for only $2 a pop! For anyone who knows Aus prices, that is very cheap for these polishes! I wish i had gotten a few more of the real teal as i love teals!

The real Teal is is a turquoise Teal with an turquoise shimmer. Perfect in two coats. You can see a bit of VNL in the top photo but it wasn't that noticeable in real life or in the sun. I'm sure a third coat would be ok if it's the type of thing that bugs you.

Aussie nails Monday - Rainbow - Sugar spun nails

Hi everyone!

Aussie nails Monday time again!!!

This weeks theme is Rainbow.... I was really stuck on what to do and i really wanted to do something different and something i had never tried before. I decided to try the "sugar spun nails" or Fairy floss nails i guess you could call them.

These are the polishes i used:
Yes they are the same as my Skittles mani i did a few weeks ago. They have become my favourite polishes at the moment!

 I am so stoked with how it turned out. This was my first attempt. I'd love to try it again but it took FOR EVAH! It took me a good hour just to do this hand lol

Perhaps i could use less colours next time? :P

If you don't have patience, don't try it! haha I personally think it was worth it though. I think i did too many strands and i think i would do less next time =)

Let me know what you think?

Born Pretty Store review + Coupon Code! Valentine's Fuzzies!

Hi all!
I have something awesome to show you all today!
I am sure by now, you have all heard of flocking powder, or fuzzy nails in which the flocking powder is used for. The awesome Daisy from Born Pretty Store contacted me to see if i wanted to review any of their products. It took me a long time to decide what to pick as they have so much awesome stuff. I hadn't tried fuzzy nails before and was really interested and keen to give it ago, so i asked if i could review the Flocking Powder in Hot Pink!!.

It comes in a little container and you get tonnes of flocking powder!! This picture was taken after i had done three mani's with it. 

Flocking powder is very simple to use. I painted all my nails with two coats of a hot pink polish. I used an Aussie brand polish called BC Co. While my nails were still wet, i sprinkled the flocking powder over my nails. It's best to do one nail at a time otherwise the polish will dry and the powder won't stick properly and look nice {point and case last photo} I tapped the free edge of my nails on the desk to shake the excess powder off, then used a spare nail art brush to dust off the remaining that is around the cuticles and on my fingers. Taa Da!! All done! Obviously no need for a top coat as you want the fuzzy effect.

It can get a little messy so i did all of this over a sheet of A4 white printing paper. Any paper will do really as long as it is easy to bend to tip the rest of the powder back into the container. 

I *tried* to do a heart which failed! It also failed as the polish started to dry and the flocking powder wouldn't stick haha.

Overall this is an awesome product! You get so much powder, it will last for ages! It is so easy to use and heaps of fun coming up with different ways to use it.
If your interested in Flocking powder or any nail art supplies, definitely check out Born Pretty Store

Aussie Nails Monday - Food

Hi all!
Things are looking a little different around here. I thought my blog needed a little changing up so i gave it a bit of a makeover. I haven't fully completed what i want to do, so there will be some more changes to it too. Please let me know what you think! =)

Today's Aussie nails Monday theme is food.

I chose Cherries!

Base colour is Ulta3 Pale Dahlia. I used a dotting tool and dotted the red cherries using China Glaze Scarlet. To create the stems, i used a small brush and China Glaze Starboard.

Manglaze - Santorum!

Hi all!
Two posts in three days, go me! haha! I do have to say it is a quick one though.
Tonights posts is one i have had sitting in my "to be blogged" album for quite some time. I took these playing around with my partners Canon 5D MkII and had hoped to by now, mastered some sort of thing resembling a photo with my nails in it. I think i did a pretty good job to start with. I don't get his camera out often as camera's and i do not go well together haha I am just terrible at using them. I really should get it out more and play around with the settings....


This is Manglaze Santorum.

This is my one and only Manglaze polish! I got it in a grab bag and i felt i was totally lucky as i love browns! I really have a lemming for more.

If you don't already know, most (or all of) Manglaze's polishes are of a matte finish. I really like that. You also then have the option of adding a topcoat to make it glossy and giving it another dimension. 

Also, i just want to point out, if you have a queazy stomach, i suggest you do not look up the meaning of "Santorum" hahaha


That's all for tonight!
