Gloss n' Sparkle Goblins Grave Swatches and Review

 Hey there! Another Gloss n' Sparkle today, this one, I struggle for words. It's amazing. Just superb.

Goblins Grave. Dark green jelly base packed with green and some holo glitters. We all know the glitter + green = Bec likey.

Like all other of my Gn'S polishes, this applied perfectly. I have never had to fish the glitter out of any of these, and have had no problems at all. I used 3 coats here,and it does look a bit sheer, but it is a jelly base so that's ok. I like it! It dried nice and quick, but I did top it off with 2 coats of SV to smooth it out.

My pictures cannot do this one justice. It is really, really, REALLY awesome. I was constantly staring at my hands when I wore this.

What do you think about Goblins Grave?

Grey Layering with China Glaze!

I am on such a layering kick lately. I love the options it leaves open for me to play with. This one, however is totally different to what I've been doing lately, and is dark and autumn-y.

I used another of my untrieds, China Glaze Recycle, and awesome grey creme. I now have 2 greys, so I'm a bit picky with them. I used 3 coats, and then over the top on my two middle fingers I put on a coat of Some Like It Haute, another China Glaze. Topped it off with a coat of SV and voila! It's an awesome combo, they match together so well!

I have more layering to show you in the coming days, so stay tuned!

Until Next Time,

New Challenge!

I know, I know, another challenge! But I love doing them, and I'm keen for this one more than most! We don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia, and I love all things spooky, so I wanted to celebrate with some nail art!

As usual, I don't have any rules or restrictions, just wanna see some fun nail art! If you want to join, leave a link below where we can view your challenge days!

I have a real nails post coming later tonight, so until then,

Neon ZigZags!

It's been glorious and sunny for the past few days, and it's bringing out the neon lover in me! Today I've got a remake of one of my very first attempts at nail art. I was going to add a picture, but the one on my PC has vanished. But it was baaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

I used a base of 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On, then added 2 coats of Orly Glowstick and did the pattern with a small brush and Ulta3 Tahiti and topped it off with SV.

This is heaps brighter in person, my camera spazzed out and couldn't handle the brightness! I struggled to look at it in the sun because it felt like my eyes would melt, so if you like neons, you NEED this one!

I'm much happier with how this one looks, especially compared to the original! I'll be remaking a few more manis soon too!

Until Next Time,

Gloss n' Sparkle Royal Flash Swatch and Review

Hey Hey! Another Gloss n' Sparkle today, and this one is a doozy!

 Royal Flash is a mix of red hex glitter in two different sizes, and black and silver glitter shards. I love it so much, it's easily my favourite layering glitter now.

I chose to layer this over a bold, contrasting colour, so I went with Ulta3 Blue Marlin, and I loved the results!

2 coats of Royal Flash, over 3 coats of Blue Marlin, topped off with 2 coats of Seche to smooth things out perfectly. This is very easy to apply, the first coat I made a bit too thin, but a slightly thicker 2nd coat gave good coverage. The glitter applied without any dabbing needed, but I would suggest until the first coat is totally dry before doing the second.







I really like this combo, it's perfect for occasions like Australia Day! Such a versatile glitter too!

Gloss n' Sparkle polishes retail for $10AUD each (13ml jars), and are all 3-free. She currently doesn't ship overseas, but is working on it!

Until Next Time!

*products in this post were sent for review, and this in no way affects my opinion*

Neon, Holo, Drips!

 This combo is awesome! Seriously... I did this design (same colours and all) on a friend last night, and I loved it so much I had to do it on my own nails!

3 coats each of Nfu-Oh #61 and China Glaze I'm With The Lifeguard, and then when it was all dry, I used a 2-way nail art pen and did the drips. How awesome is it though?! No topcoat on the holo though, because the top coat dulls it (on me anyway), but there is on the neon.

I think I'll be rocking this a lot more when summer hits, with different colour combos too!

Until Next Time!
