Essie Lights + Essence Party Princess!

After wearing Essie Lights for a couple of days, i decided to jazz it up a little. I didn't have time to do anything special or some stamping so i grabbed my Essence Party Princess from my untrieds and slapped it on.

This was one coat of sparkly awesomeness!!

NOTD: Essie Lights

So summer is officially over......... said no South Australian ever! ........ Bahahaha

So while it may be "officially" over and Autumn has started, which sucks because before we know it, it will be winter, and as you all know... I HATE WINTER! haha

So in my bid to try and hold onto whatever summer i have left i am trying to wear all or most of my bright colours to keep me happy!

So today i am wearing Essie Lights. I got this in a grab bag a little while ago and when it first came out it didn't do anything for me. How i was wrong! I'm so glad i got it in the bag. It's just awesome!! It really helps a little for my need of Essie Pink Parka which i am still on the hunt for!

Aussie Nails Monday - Favourite Brand!

Hi everyone!

This weeks Aussie nails Monday is Favourite Brand! While it is hard to choose exactly which brand is my favourite, i went with China Glaze! I have more China Glaze (107 and counting) in my collection than any other brand (even if Ulta3 is coming in a very close second at 92) I love the China Glaze formula and i think they have the best variety of colours to choose from thus far!

I immediately thought of doing this..... Only the nail world would relate and understand this haha

 Sorry, they don't seem as holo! This was taken in my lightbox and there was little to no sun outside today =(

Ok, so some of you might think that this is a bit tacky? I don't care! Maybe it is, but it was fun just to do something silly.

Colours used are all from China Glaze's OMG collection.
L-R:  DV8, QT, IDK, FYI
I used my black Ulta3 polish and a small paint brush to do the "lettering"

Sorry, they don't seem as holo! This was taken in my lightbox and there was little to no sun outside today =(

As of today i have finally completed my China Glaze OMG collection, receiving the much coveted polish OMG in the mail today! *Squee* So excited to have finally finished collecting them all (even the dud brown version of BFF, so 13 in total) 

I am so excited for the new Holographic collection that is coming out next month. Are you?

Will you be getting them or any? Let me know in the comments which ones your most excited for!

Barry M Gelly - Plum + Amethyst Glitter

Hi all!
I got these a couple of weeks ago in a birthday package i got from a girl in the UK! These aren't my first Barry M's but they are the first Barry M's i have tried lol. I have three others sitting in my Helmer... somewhere!
I had only just recently heard of Barry M's Gelly polishes so i was super excited to receive one and try it out!

I got the shade "Plum"

 Plum is exactly what it is - A Plum Purple! It's not a colour i would usually go for but it was awesome to try it out! This was two awesome coats. I'm not sure if the name "gelly" is supposed to refer to the polish being jelly like, but i would say it is more of a crelly. Also, as the name suggests, these are "Hi-shine"...... Umm yes, it most definitely is!! These pics are shown with no topcoat!

The other polish i received was Amethyst Glitter. I decided to put it over Plum and try a gradient... Fail!! I always Fail glitter gradients... Please, just give up Kelly!

Hope you all have an awesome night!

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.
