The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 6: Coral Colours - Silk

Don't forget to enter my Blogiversary Giveaway and Nail Art Competition! There's three Born Pretty Store gift vouchers to be won. Entries close tomorrow!

 Coral Colours -  Silk

4 coats

Silk is a frosty purple shimmer. My bottle is really old. This was one of my original polishes from about 10 years ago. I think it was my mums and I claimed it as my own. It was my first favourite polish, I loved to use it for pedicures. It looks a little duochrome in the picture above but it's not really, it looks more like the bottle colour in person. My camera was just having a really hard time trying to focus on it.
My bottle was very dried up, you can see how it looked in the picture below before I added a heap of Seche Restore to it. I think this colour is still available today, it's listed on the Coral Colors website but it looks a lot darker. I want to buy a new bottle to see how it compares.

GMU Friday & The Great Australian Polish Challenge Day 5: BYS - Voodoo Violet

Don't forget to enter my Blogiversary Giveaway and Nail Art Competition! There's three Born Pretty Store gift vouchers to be won. Entries close 5th August 2012.

BYS - Voodoo Violet

4 coats

Voodoo Violet has small irregular shaped glitter and large holo hex glitter in a purple jelly base. The formula was thick. I find most BYS polishes are thick. I used four coats, I didn't wait for this one to dry because I was just swatching but I imagine it would take a long time.

BYS polishes are available from Kmart for $4.00, also Gloss, Go-Lo and  The Reject Shop. You can purchase them online from FashionAddict.com.au (they do not ship internationally).

I've been finding it hard to keep up every week so I've decided this will be my last Glitter Me Up Friday Post. I'll still be posting glitter swatches but not every Friday.

The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 4: Australis - White Crackle

Australis - White Crackle

(over Ulta3 - Strawberry Sundae)

Australis White Crackle is a white crackle cream. The formula was really nice and smooth and it cracked fast. I won this from Australis in a Twitter giveaway. Australis has giveaways on Twitter all the time. Follow Australis on Twitter so you can enter their giveaways.

When I chose the base colour I didn't realise it matched the bottle, also that it was another Australian brand polish. Two happy coincidences.

The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day 3: Chi Chi - Scene Queen

Don't forget to enter my Blogiversary Giveaway and Nail Art Competition! There's three Born Pretty Store gift vouchers to be won. Entries close 5th August 2012.

Chi Chi - Scene Queen

3 coats

Scene Queen is an aqua creme with subtle silver shimmer. The shimmer didn't show up in the photo above but you can see it in the photo below. The shimmer is so subtle that most of the time it looks like a creme. The formula was good. I'm ashamed to say that this is my only Chi Chi polish. I'll have to pick up a few others next time I'm in Target. Do you have any suggestions?

The Great Aussie Polish Challenge Day2: Ulta3 - Waterlily

Don't forget to enter my Blogiversary Giveaway and Nail Art Competition! There's three Born Pretty Store gift vouchers to be won. Entries close 5th August 2012.

G'day mate! Myself and a few other Aussies are taking part in The Great Aussie Polish Challenge. The challenge will last a week and started yesterday with most of us posting the new piCture pOlish shades. For day two I've got a gorgeous Ulta3 shade to show you all. Ulta3 is my favourite Australian polish brand. They are only $2.25 each and are easily available in most chemists and now grocery stores. My shopping list now goes, Milk, Bread, Polish etc.

Ulta3 - Waterlily

2 coats

Waterlily is a red toned purple shimmer. The brush strokes quite noticeable when applying but they fade as it dries. Production of Ulta3 has moved to China but this bottle is an Australian made one.

I just want to mention one thing to all my international readers, the correct way to pronounce Aussie is "Ozzie", as in Ozzy Osbourne.
