As you may have all noticed, I’ve been rather neglectful of my blog for pretty much all of this year. Unfortunately life has got in the way and although I’ve ben telling myself I’ll...
Today I have a layering combination for you which I put together in a strategic attempt to make my nails look like OPALS. Opals are a beautiful gemstone (although alas, I have none…) that are p...
Quick polish post! This is Chi Chi’s Toy Boy, a highly saturated, medium blue kinda glass fleck polish. I say ‘kinda’ because the shimmer is heavy, but doesn’t have that cryst...
With the knowledge that there are some new Ozotic Pro colours due to come out in April, I thought I’d post one of the ones I picked up in last year’s haul. 751 is from the duochrome range...
Today I have a summery Ulta3 layering combo. Carrot Top came out in the Spring 2010 collection, and is THE PERFECT orange crème. This is what I like to call ‘primary orange’ – if orange w...
Wow. It’s been a while. I could dwell on that fact but if you’ve been a reader for a while, you’ll know I’ve always been a sporadic poster, and no matter how much I try, some ...
Quick post! This Inglot is a deep hot pink (that’s almost an oxymoron, but I think it describes it quite accurately) creme. Two coats. Indirect sunlight And below, Colorama Cold as Ice is compr...
Today’s polish is one of the most popular Nubars around, but for me was a real disappointment. Reading about this polish from other people, I was expecting a glorious purple and teal duochrome ...
I was just perousing the Illamasqua website in order to take part in You’ve Got Nail’s Illamasqua Magical Mystery Tour Giveaway and came across this in the News feed: Illamasqua Australia...
Moon over Mumbai hails from OPI’s India Collection of 2008, and is a soft creamy-platinum-dove-grey kinda colour. I appreciate that is probably a terrible description but really, it is very har...
I don’t know about you guys but I’ve had a really busy few weeks over Christmas and New Year, hence the lack of posting. Never fear though, I have scheduled a lot of posts for the next fe...
The bureau assures me it will go over 30° today, and I have a full day of eating, drinking, and presenting ahead of me. For this year’s Christmas mani I’ve gone with the festive favourite...
You’ve already seen Metallic Silver over at You’ve Got Nail, now I bring to you the awesomeness of Leopard Skin. When Nail Rock’s PR company contacted me to give these a try, I was ...
This fantasmagoric nail polish hails from OPI’s recently released Burlesque collection. While I wasn’t excited by the glitters (blasphemy, I know), this was on my wishlist from the first ...
I recently did a bit of a mixed haul from eBay seller Nail Polish Elegance. I’ve tried a few sellers for mixed hauls in the past, and this store has by far the best customer service of them all...
Carlo di Roma 39 is a rich, buttery yellow creme with the slightest orange hint. This is not usually my type of shade, but I bought it especially to do this bumble bee mani with it. I drew the stripe...
This mani would usually be representative of the weather at this time of year, but Sydney seems to have developed dissociative identity disorder and changes season from day to day. Moving on, Spring ...
Today I have a quick and very nude post! Zoya Charlize is from Zoya’s core range and is a pretty creamy-beige nude. It is a lot more yellow-based than some of my other nudes, but I think it sui...
To celebrate being back on the polish bandwagon, here is one of my favourite Nubar polishes, from their Sparkles collection released earlier this year. Purples are notoriously difficult to photograph...
I need to start this newsflash with an apology for the lack of posts over the last few weeks/months, which is funnily enough the very reason that a recommencement of posting is even considered worthy...
Some of you may have seen You’ve Got Nail’s post on this polish the other day, which is what motivated me to finally get round to posting my own swatches. Jacie mentioned her suspicion th...
And now for some dark chocolate… Essie Lady Godiva is beautiful. A really really gorgeously understated colour. This is a deep rich warm brown, the colour of Dark Lindt Lindor, or maybe a Max B...
I declare this weekend CHOCOLATE WEEKEND! There are several reasons behind this: I don’t own enough chocolatey polishes to make it chocolate week I really like chocolate Nubar Milk Chocolate is...
So I thought I’d try out the multichromes from my Ozotic Haul in numerical order, which means the first is 504. As I mentioned in the Haul post, these are best layered over a black crème. I use...
Quick post today! Ulta3 Black Plum is a dark shimmery red with the tiniest hint of brown. Like a darker version of Ulta3 Brandy Wine (which I really need to take a better photo of…hmm). Perfect...
I originally bought this polish thinking it matched my Mum’s new car colour, but when I tried it I realised it was quite different and way cooler than that! Blk-Bila-Bong is from China Glaze...
The first in the upcoming Ozotic Pro onslaught is 216, a VERY dark purple with minty green/blue shimmer. When I first saw this I thought it might be a vampy version of Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie, ...
So I made the haul to end all hauls the other week, of a bunch of coveted Ozotic Pro polishes. I tried to get as many different finishes as I could to scope out the formula, as this brand isn’t...
Savita is the last polish I got from Zoya’s Matte Velvet collections. I am going to start this by saying I LOVE this colour – the medium/dark purple base has a subtle luminescent, pinky shimmer...
With only a few weeks of Winter left, I’d better get cracking on these Winter-y polishes. Wild Berry was released in the Autumn 2010 “collection” by Ulta3. This is a warm, dark char...
