piCture pOlish Blog Fest 2013

Celebrating the Year of the Blogger

Hello peeps,

Today I have to share with you my FIRST piCture pOlish shades AND my FIRST tutorial!!! 

I was SO STOKED to be chosen to be a part of this year's Blog Fest by piCture pOlish, which entailed piCture pOlish sending me (free of charge) THREE shades to create a mani and a tutorial to go along with it. 

The three shades I was sent. 'antique', 'beige', and 'pshiiit'.
First, though, here is a picture with swatches of the shades. I did this first to get a feel for the colours and to see how quickly they built up to opactity so I could plan my mani.

All three shades took 2 coats to reach opacity. 'antique' is the biggest pic here as it turned out to be my favourite!
I should point out that for this mani, I did use fake nails as I had a few bad breaks, and had to trim down to nubs, and I felt my lil nubs just did not do justice to these three fabulous shades.

OK, down to the nitty gritty (the tutorial). Check it all out after the JUMP!

piCture pOlish 'pshiiit'

Hey peeps.

Short and sweet one today.

How amazeballs is this polish called 'pshiiit' by piCture pOlish? Umm... Pretty friggin' amazeballs!

I wanted something that would dry quickly as I didnt have much time to do a mani before I left the house this morning. 'pshiiit' did not disappoint!

Pic is 2 coats alone.

I also put it on my toe nails as the colour is very 'peacock-y' and it matches my PEA-NIX (cross between a pheonix and a peacock.lol) tattoo perfectly. Don't mind my pea-nix's bung wing. I had an injury that ruined that part of the tattoo. Needs fixing. Lol

Glam Polish 'Brite'

Hey peeps,

The polish I have on today is by Glam Polish and it's called 'Brite'.

'Brite' is a yellow crelly with multi coloured 'speck' glitter and multi colour dots.

I did not even have to turn it upside down for a good glitter distribution. That's a BIG plus for me.

Even though Femme Fatale Cosmetics makes my all time favourite polish ('Winter Hyacinth'), I think Glam Polish has moved up to take the spot of my favourite Aussie Indie!

The pic below is three coats of 'Brite', a coat of Essence Quick Dry Top coat and a coat of Seche Vite.

Glam Polish 'Margaritaville'

Hey peeps,

Today I have another gorgeous Glam Polish creation to show you. Its called 'Margaritaville'.

This gorgeous orange crelly is packed full of yellow, purple and orange glitter.

I have said it before, but I'll say it again, Glam Polish is one of my all time favourite indies. Rachel (the mastermind behind Glam) and I have such similar tastes when it comes to polish, it's actually scary. Lol.

Pics below have 2 coats of 'Margaritaville' with a top coat of Seche.

Sorry!!!

Hey peeps

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. It's mainly because I broke a couple of nails and had to cut all of them right down to the nail beds. FROWN. It's also because I have been so busy. You know how that is. Life, and all. So here is a few piccys of some swatches and nail art I have done lately. Any questions about polishes or techniques used, just leave a comment!
