Yellow Paisley Stamped Nails

Enter my current $50AUD gift voucher giveaway here!


Hello everyone! I've been inspired to work on perfecting my stamping lately and found an old stamping plate I had with a paisley print on it. (I'm very sorry but I can't remember which plate or number it is at the moment, I will check when I get home) I painted my nails with 2 coats of Ciate - Big Yellow Taxi (reviewed here) and then applied 1 coat of Wicked Fast. Once it was touch dry I stamped on the paisley print using my black polish I received from born pretty store. Then I finished it off with 1 more coat of Wicked Fast, trying to avoid any smudging (but not all grrr). Even though I wasn't very consistent with the thickness of my stamps or because my nail plate was too large for the design, I still think I did a really good job and I've received so many compliments. 


My goal one day is to be as good as Natalie from heartNAT..her stamping is flawless! Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice day.

Pretty and Polished - Mardi Party

Hello again! Today I have another Pretty & Polished colour to show you. This one is called Mardi Party and is a plethora of rainbow glitter shards. It is quite hard to apply as it is very runny and makes the glitter fall off the brush very quickly. In this photo I layered it over 2 coats of Ciate - Big Yellow Taxi, a gorgeous yellow creme. I love this vibrant, eclectic mix. I finished it off with 1 coat of wicked fast.

 This glitter is so playful and fun I love it! What do you think? Have a great day!!

Ciate - Jewel + OPI - Don't Pretzel My Buttons

Hi guys!! Today I have for you a really pretty combo of nude and glitter! Ciate - Jewel is an amazing glitter! It is filled with silve holographic bar glitters suspended in a really soft blue jelly. It is amazing and so unique to normal glitters! I also used OPI - Don't Pretzel My Button, from the latest Germany collection, and it is a really flattering nude colour. I painted my ring finger and my thumb with Ciate - Jewel and all the other nails with DPMB. I used 3 coats of Jewel and 1 coat of DPMB all followed with 1 thick coat of Cult Nails - Wicked Fast.



Look at that amazingggggg holographic glitter! Yum! I hope you like this! Do you own this Ciate and love it as much as I do? Thanks for reading!!

Ciate - Mojito

Hi guys :-) Ciate - Mojito is an amazing sheer jelly green apple colour! It is super juicy looking and does best in 2 coats. I seem to have received a dud one as there was a fair bit of polish missing from the bottle and it was much gluggier than the other ciate's I bought, but I will buy another one and hopefully that one will be all good! I used 1 coat of China Glaze - First & Last, 2 coats of Ciate - Mojito and 1 coat of Cult Nails - Wicked Fast.



I couldn't stop staring at my nails whilst wearing this gorgeous colour! Do you own this? It is quite similar to Essie - Mojito madness, but a shade lighter and sheer, where as Essie is a thicker creme.
Thanks for reading!

Ciate - Big Yellow Taxi

Good morning everybody :-) How are we all? Yesterday I received 3 ciate polishes from Beautybay.com. I know about all the controversy with Ciate "claiming" and "patenting" caviar/fish egg nails, which has put off bloggers from using their products. . but I had never tried their products before, and I really don't like to judge before I try.. So I bought 3 gorgeous colours and today I am going to show you big yellow taxi, which is simply a bright yellow creme. I have to say, i LOVE ciate bottles! They are super cute and I love the long brush lid, it makes it very easy to apply polish as the brush isn't too long. This polish required 2 coats as the first coat was a little streaky, but applied beautifully, like silk! Here I used 1 coat of China Glaze - First & Last, 2 coats of Big Yellow Taxi and 1 coat of Cult Nails - Wicked Fast.



So far, I am loving Ciate polishes and can't wait to build my collection up!
Isn't it a lovely and vibrant colour? :D Makes me smile!! Thanks for reading and have a nice day
