Ulta3 - Jelly Bean

Ulta3 - Jelly Bean 3 coats Poshe Top Coat Jelly Bean is a light frosty green with gold shimmer. I don't know any jelly beans this colour but it's still pretty and not bad for a frost. The formula was good, the lines show after drying but they aren't as visible as some of the other frosts I've tried. I don't have much else to say about this one. Frosts aren't really my thing, I will probably use this as a base coat for somethin...

Sinful Colors - Fiji

Sinful Colors - Fiji 4 coats Poshe Top Coat Fiji is a gorgeous purple shimmer. This is one of my original nail polishes. It does take 4 coats to reach full opacity though but it's worth it. I don't know if this colour is still available because I bought it a long time ago. It takes a long time to dry but this might be because it's so old. A fast drying top coat like Poshe or Seche really helps. I wore this a few months ago and...

China Glaze - Gussied Up Green

I've been a bit AWOL this weekend. I moved on Saturday and I've been busy non stop ever since! I took this photo before I moved. Since then I've broken at least two nails really far down. My DIY light box broke so I'll have to make another one. Not sure when I'll find the time to swatch either. I hope you'll all forgive me I may be short of posts over the next few days. Oh and if you were wondering, all my babies made it to my new house safe and...

Valentines Mani #2

Wow I'm tired. I just go back from the Central Coast. As soon as I finish this post I'm off to bed! So I suck at water marbling. I'm no good at getting the swirly wave patterns. As soon as I dip my nail in the polish moves around an ruins the design, *sigh*, but I'm not going to give up because that's not like me. I'll be giving this another go but trying the dry water marbling version. The colours...

I used Easy Paris Cosmetics  - Black for the stamp. This design is very basic. The next two posts will be little more fiddly.
