Fashion Show Nails!

Hey guys! Today I am showing you my nails I did for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Show in Brisbane. I am helping out with the event and get to work backstage with the models and bask in all the glamorous glory! I even got to meet Kris Smith, the male Myer ambassador!

This look was inspired by @thisisvenice who is an amazing nail artist based in Paris! It's edgy and funky at the same time! The 3 colours I used were Orly - Black Onyx (the black), Lime Crime - Lavendairy (the purple lavender colour) and China Glaze - Too Yacht Too Handle (the neon pastel lime colour). I used a dotting tool for the leopard print and a small paint brush for the diamonds! I topped it all off with 1 coat of SV.

I love this combo and I got tonnes of compliments from everyone - including many designers!! I hope you like these and I'll see you next time!

Artsy Wednesday - Movember

Hi guys! Today's theme is Movember, which solely dedicates the month of November to men's cancer awareness where men can grow a moustache (no beard or side burns!). I usually become a Mo'Sista each year (no, I don't grow a moustache lol) and donate to people and people donate to me which is awesome :)

So.. I did struggle a bit with today's theme, clearly I wanted to do a moustache but surprisingly struggled and only managed to do two decent ones on my nails lol. I used 2 coats of Lime Crime - Pastelchio, followed by 1 coat of Essie - Matte About You, then I free handed the black moustaches with OPI - Black Onyx. Followed by another coat of Essie - Matte About You.

Don't forget to check out all these lovely ladies for this weeks Artsy Wednesday theme! Thanks for reading and have a great day/night! :-)

Happy 21st Birthday To Me

I won't be celebrating too much as I have an exam the next day ..boo! :-( For my nails I wanted something really girly and cute and I found great inspiration from this blog post here. It's super cute and really easy to do!I will state here that each nail was topped with 1 coat of Cult Nails - Wicked Fast. Here is the run down on each nail.

Thumb: 2 coats of OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls, then using a makeup sponge I sponged on a strip of OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls, OPI - What's With The Cattitude and Lime Crime - Lavendairy.

Index Finger: 1 coat of Revlon - Metallic, 1 coat of Essie - Shine Of The Times and 1 coat of China Glaze - Techno.

Ring Finger: 2 coats of OPI - What's With The Cattitude and Lime Crime - Lavendairy for the dots.

Pinky: 2 coats of Lime Crime - Lavendairy followed by 1 coat of Essie - Shine Of The Times.

A Stripey Lime Crime Mani

Hey guys! Today I felt like something really girly and fun so I opted for a multi-coloured nail with stripes! For this look I started with 2 coats of OPI - Nail Envy Original. From the pinky to the thumb I used 2 coats of Lime Crime: Pastelchio, Crema Di Lemon, Peaches <3 Creme, Once In A Blue Mousse and Lavendairy. I then used a white nail striper to paint stripes on. I'm not the best at painting even stripes yet but practice makes perfect! I love this look so much. I topped it all off with 1 coat of Wicked Fast. *Note, the white stripes on the green nail turned yellow, seems like Pastelchio has a stronger colour as it was the most opaque from all the colours I used as well.*

This look is super cute and so easy to do! I hope you try it out as well :) Thanks for reading!

Lime Crime Gradient

Hey lovelies! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted, i've been finishing off a big report due on Tuesday, but after that posts should be a bit more regular! Today's look was inspired by Cristina's gradient look featuring the lime crime polishes (check it out here). I didn't know which look to create, but I decided to do the blue and purple gradient. I started off with all nails painted with Milky Ways, followed by Once In A Blue Mousse and Lavendairy sponged on. It's soo pretty and i'm so happy with the results! Close up you can see imperfections, but from afar it looks really great! I topped it off with Wicked Fast, it really helps to blend in the sponging.

That's all from me today! Have a great weekend everyone!
