NOTD - Love and Beauty by Forever 21

Hey Peeps,
I got this awesome polish in a grab bag I purchased the other day. It is Love and Beauty by Forever 21. The polish doesn't really have a name, it just says 'Polish/Shimmer/Grey/Hot Pink'.

The formula was nice but I would have liked the 'grey' to be not so thin. Apart from that, no other issues.

The pics are 2 coats with 1 coat of Essence Quick Dry Top Coat and 1 coat of Seche Vite. The Essence is a real glitter food and makes the Seche as smooth as glass. I picked this tip up from my nail crush, Strawbrie (Brie), and you can find her on instagram. Her nail art, swatches, nails, EVERYTHING, is awesome!!!

Late Night Mani

Hello peeps,

So I stayed up WAY too late last night waiting for this mani to dry. It was about 1am before I dragged my sorry butt into bed. LOL. Its 2 coats of Color Club HoloHues 'Cherubic' with one coat of Lush Lacquer 'Clowning Around', which I know is a MAJOR lemming of a lot of the Aussie girls as Lush Lacquer has stopped doing international shipping.

I just love the HaloHues Collection. Perfect formula. GORGEOUS holo. Great wear time even with me having 2 young boys and a farm to look after!

'Clowning Around' is such an awesome polish. It has just enough glitter in it to look great but not so much that the nail looks busy. The glitter is MATTE NEON!!! Need I say more???

The end result is so hard to capture but IRL it is amazing!!!

If you want to purchase Lush Lacquer 'Clowning Around' you can get it from Llarowe or Mei Mei Signatures, but it sells out so quick so I suggest signing up to updates from both sites.

Such a bad pic, sorry. It was 1am, remember.

KBShimmer mani

Here is my mani with the KBShimmer I recieved in my grab bag. Its called 'Proud Peacock'. The formula was lovely and lots of glitter came out onto the nail. What are your favourite KBShimmers. You can buy them at Harlow & Co.

Grab bag haul!!!

I purchased a grab bag from a nail friend on the internet and this is what rocked up! She said she would be putting 10 polishes in but she put in 12!!! What a great woman!!! From left to right - NOPI 'Show You Care', Essie 'Jelly Apple', OPI 'Yall Come Back Ya Hear', OPI 'Let me Entertain You', Mari Moon (label rubbed off), China Glaze 'Starboard', China Glaze 'Rapsberry Festival', Mari Moon 'Artsy', Nostalgic 'The Athlete', Gloss'n Sparkle 'Goodbye Sober Day', Dollish Polish 'This Is Halloween', KBShimmer 'Proud Peacock'. PHEW! That was an effort. Lol.

Revlon Moon Candy "Galactic" Can not wait to get this on my nails when they are longer!!!

My polish rack

Ok. So i just put my new colours in my rack and reorganised it and I now realise I have a problem. Most of you will be thinking, "Yeah. You have too many polishes. Stop already." While I am here thinking, "Geez. I think its time for another polish rack." Lol.

These are all O.P.I colours.

Next mani from my Priceline Haul

This mani is O.P.I 'Mourning Glory' from the 'Skullicious' Collection, topped with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure 'Mermaids Tale' which I got in my Priceline haul. I loved the jelly-ness of Mermaids Tale. But the dry time took ages. I would recommend this polish to others.

Priceline Nail Haul

Priceline nail haul. Top left to right -  Essence Color and Go 'Gorgeous Bling Bling' $1.00, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure 'Mermaid's Tale' $7.47, Maybelline Mini Colorama 'Tart' $2.00, Essence Snow White 'Prince Charming' $3.95, Essence Color and Go 'Walk on The Wild Side' $1.00. Bottom - Essence Circus Circus 'Cotton Candy' $5.50.

Its funny because I saw the Sally Hansen one and it instantly made me think of mermaids, so i think that it is named so appropriately. The pic is of Maybelline Mini Colorama 'Tart'. The formula was great and it was opaque in 1 coat but I did 2 because I like to neaten my manis with another coat. I will post reviews on the others later. P.S. Please excuse my horribly short nails. I have had a really bad breakage week.

Wicked Polish Restock

Harlow & Co are doing a restock of Wicked Polishes tomorrow (Friday) at 2am if you live on the east coast of Australia! They are my favourite international indie brand. Go grab a few of your own. Just don't cart jack me! Hahahaha!

You can find them at Harlow & Co

Just testing

Hey guys. Just testing my mobile phone app. The pic is me all dolled up for my mother-in-law's wedding.

Some Nail Art and Plain Manis I Have Done Over the Last 18 Months

 Okay so here is a whole bunch of pics of some nail art and plain manis I have done since I started. I have learnt a lot since then so if some art or clean-up is below par then please be kind. LOL. Also the camera I have been using is below par, I know. But get over it because I can't afford a new camera. LOL. You will also notice that not all of my pics are watermarked. This is because I don't care if stupid people want to steal my manis and claim that they did them. I mean, if you wanna claim my gross cuticles, go right ahead. LOL
