Double Triangle Nail Art

Hi guys! Today I have some simple nail art to share with you. I felt like doing something geometric for the weekend so I landed on this design! Super simple and easy but looks really cool too! I used 2 coats of Chanel - 623 Mirabella and then freehanded the triangles using Model Co - Oh My Goodness Greycious, followed by 1 coat of Glisten & Glow HK Topcoat. I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the warmer weather (finally!).

 

Milani - Beach Front + A Cute As A Button Love Heart

Hello :-) Today's post features a Milani colour I received when I did a swap with a very generous lady, Jasmine from colourcoated. Milani - Beach front is a really pretty light blue with silver micro glitter through out it. It has a great formula and is fully opaque in 1 coat but I  did 2 just to cover any unevenness. I applied 1 coat of China Glaze - First & Last, 2 coats of Beach Front and 1 coat of Cult Nails - Wicked Fast. I painted a cute little love heart on my ring finger using Essie - Cute As A Button, my favourite coral creme yet! I hope you like this cute mani :)

Do you own this colour? Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this!

Artsy Wednesday - Matte & Shiny

Hi lovelies! Today's Artsy Wednesday theme is Matte & Shiny nails! I didn't want to go for the popular shiny black with matte tip look, but now i'm thinking I probably should have as mine didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped for! I opted for a bit of an experimental side for this and chose two jellies to work with; China Glaze - Ride The Waves (from the new Neon 2012 Collection, swatched here) and OPI - Guy Meets Gal-Veston, a coral-orange jelly from the Texas Collection. I alternated fingers. I applied 2 coats of each on every finger and 1 coat of Essie's - Matte About You on every finger except my ring finger as an accent nail.

Don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies participating in this week's Artsy Wednesday!

Essie - Cute As A Button

Hello lovelies! I can't believe it's Thursday already! I run the Gold Coast half marathon this Sunday...eeep! I haven't been training because I've been sick and the weather has been horrible! I went shopping in Myer today and they have 30% off Essie polishes, and I had a gift card I wanted to use, so i was like SCORE!! Woo-hoo! I was very tempted to buy many colours but restrained myself and bought 1 called Cute As A Button. I was missing a beautiful coral from my collection, so I'm really glad I picked it up. It is a pink-orange coral creme and the formula was really good! I applied 1 coat of Jordana Calcium Boost Basecoat, followed by 2 coats of CAAB, followed by 1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast. I love this colour!

I love wearing bright, fun colours in the middle of winter! It makes me happy when it's raining all day lol :) Thanks for reading!

Jordana Collection Review

Hey guys! Today I have for you some nail polishes from the brand Jordana. They originate from the US, but they have thankfully been brought to Australia and are available for purchase on their website (jordanacosmetics.com.au). I was given the opportunity to pick some colours and I chose some real stunners! Just so I don't repeat myself I will let you know that I used 1 coat of Calcium Boost Basecoat, followed by 2 coats of lacquer. The formula on Jordana polishes are really good! I was surprised how easily and smooth they went on, a bit sheer on 1 coat, but 2 coats easily fixed that up. The brush is a little thin, but picks up the polish easily and makes application smooth. Here are the colours I chose:

Green Glitz is a stunning grass green shimmer with a mixture of holographic bars and small glitters. I really like this colour and it suits olive skin tone really nicely!

Coral Spark is an amazinggg orangey-red coral with some seriously gorgeous shimmer in it. This, like Green Glitz, also has a mixture of holographic bar and glitters scattered through out. This is my favourite from the collection!

Purple Glam is really pretty. I am told that this is one of Jordana's biggest selling colours and I can see why! The base is a gorgeous deep magenta filled with purple shimmer, and this one also has a dense mixture of holographic bar and glitters...yes! Winner!

Blurred to show the amazing holographic micro glitter!

Crystal Glitter, shown here with OPI's - Black Onyx as the base, is a pixie dust looking polish, a sheer white base with a whole lot of holographic glitters! It is pretty much like a flakie! This is super gorgeous and definitely made my black nails pop! I love that the light catches all the different colours and you see an array of rainbow colours on your nails! Pure magic!
I also received some nail art stripers which I will be using very soon, so stay tuned!

What do you think of these colours? Which one is your favourite?

Thanks for reading!
