piCture pOlish Kryptonite!

Remember BlogFest? There were 11 new shades launched from piCture pOlish that day and the two I was lucky to get for BlogFest were 2 of the 3 I HAD to buy. And this is the third.


Kryptonite was created with More Nail Polish, and is just stunning. it's a deep, emerald green base with lots of holo particles in it. It covers perfectly in 2 coats, and dries glossy. However, I am wearing Seche Vite over it, and my usual base of OPI Ridge Filler underneath. Now, for the pics!








Isn't it fabulous! We need more holos in this shade of green for sure!

Until next Time,

BFF Challenge- Inspired by City/Movie

Hi! Today I've decided to combine Alyssa's chosen themes, Inspired by a Movie and Inspired by a City. So I've gone outside my comfort zone with this one, but I think the end result is cute!

So, I went with a movie my mother had made me watch about 4 million times when I was younger...






Any guesses? It's Sleepless in Seattle. Yeah. Not my favourite, but a movie that has special memories. So, I painted the Space needle, which is the meeting point they had in the movie, and one of Seattle's most famous landmarks. And then, I drew a heart with a trail leading to the tower. Naaaww.

Anywhoo, take a peak at my other challengers!





Until next time!

OPI Ink

Hi! Today I'm showing you a lovely RAOK (random act of kindness) from the amazing Nicole at Epitome Of Superficiatlity, and another from my (now MUCH shorter) wishlist.

OPI Ink. It's a core colour, yes, but one I always managed to never get. And I now encourage everyone to go get it, because it is AWESOME!





Is it blue or purple? Both. It's Blurple (which is a fantastic word) and it's a good one at that! Indoors it is defintiely purple, and then outdoors, it's more blue. It really is the colour of biro ink, y'know when it explodes and ink goes everywhere? Yeah, that colour. With extra shimmer. In a nail polish. YES. I've used 3 coats here, just to bring out extra sparkle, and topped it off with Seche Vite.

So big BIG thank you's to Nicole for this absolute gem!

Until Next Time,

Candeo Jellybean!

Words cannot express how excited I am to post this today. This month I have managed to get both my #1 and #2 lemmings, and this is #2. Candeo Colours Jellybean.

I'm not a huge fan of indie polishes, I have a whole of 3 now, Jellybean, Lynnderella Very Pretty Vampire and Pretty and Polished Galax-E, which I won in a giveaway. That said, this is my favourite of them.






It's a sheer pastel yellow base, packed with blue, pink and purple hex glitter, and smaller pink, gold, and green glitter. I layered it over 3 coats of China Glaze Lemon Fizz, the most obvious layering decision because it is so perfect. I used 2 coats of Jellybean, and they applied perfectly. The glitter is nice and dense, I didn't have to fish any out, and I didn't have to 'dab' the glitter on. I finished it all off with a coat of Seche Vite.

Ugh. I am so in love with this, it's not even funny... Isn't it adorable?

Until Next Time!

BFF Challenge - Texture

Today's challenge is Emma's second choice, Texture. Now, I really don't like wearing 3D stuff of my nails, I  LOVE using them on others, but wearing them myself is not something I enjoy. Every manicure I have with some sort of 3D ends up with me picking them off only a few hours! But, nevertheless, I pushed on!







Rainbows :D I used 2 coats of Ulta3 Black Satin, then using a slow drying top coat (BYS UV) I stuck the rhinestones on and finished it with a good coat of Seche Vite.

I love the end result, it's screams PARTY to me!

Go check out my fellow Challengers!






Until next time!

BFF Challenge - Coffee!

Hey hey! This weeks BFF theme comes from Emma over at Manicurity and it is one of my favourite things ever- coffee! I love coffee as much as I love polish, which is saying a LOT!

I wanted to try something I haven't done yet, so I grabbed some deliciously creamy coffee-ish colours -Ulta3 Chocolate Cake and Allure. I painted my ring and index with 2 coats of Allure, and my middle and pinky fingers with 2 coats of Chocolate Cake, one coat of Seche Vite to help it dry quicker, and then started on the 'art'.

Please, mind my pictures, it's rainy and windy and awesome, but not good for picture taking, so they're taken indoors, with flash.







I tried the 'Saran wrap' technique- but here in Australia we call it Glad Wrap lol. For the crappy photo situation, these photos are dead on colour wise! And in the first picture, that is my actual coffee mug- kittens and all!

My idea for these was when you add milk to black coffee and it swirls around and looks awesome. I finished them off with NYC Matte Me Crazy.

Now, I need to fill that mug up, go check out my fellow Challengers!




Until next time!
