Illamasqua - Glamore Collection

Hey everyone! Today I have Illamasqua's latest collection called Glamore to show you today. This collection is so exciting for me because it combines my two loves; nail polish and lipsticks (bright ones at that too!). This collection contains 3 beautiful shattered star (textured) nail polishes and 2 beautifuly bright lipsticks. The nail polishes retail for $22.50 and the lipsticks retail for $25.00. Illamasqua products can be found in Myer nationally.

Marquise - I couldn't wait to show you this polish. If you follow me on instagram you may have seen this a few days ago. It is my favourite from the collection and has already made a spot in my top 10 favourite nail polishes of all time. It is a stunning crushed fiery topaz colour that dries to a textured finish. The swatch below shows 2 coat and 1 coat of Glisten & Glow topcoat. I absolutely adore this colour and cannot wait to wear it again!

Fire Rose - A very pretty rose pink glitter with larger rose pink glitters. I applied 2 coats here with 1 coat of G&G top coat.

Trilliant - Is a champagne-biege glitter that is super wearable on all skin types. It isn't too noticeable but gives your nails a healthy glow. I used 2 coats here and 1 coat of G&G topcoat.

Luster - A gorgeous bright candy pink satin lipstick. It is super creamy and highly pigmented. This is 1 easy coat.

Soaked - A vibrant orange satin lipstick with a super moisturising and hydrating formula. This is also very pigmented and applies very well. This is 1 coat.

So which products take your fancy? My obvious favourite is Marquise and is definitely worth checking out! Thanks a lot for reading and have a great Easter everyone!

Artsy Wednesday - Easter Nails!

Hi guys! Today's AW theme is Easter! I chose to do texture chicks! They're super cute and super easy to do and perfect for the easter holidays! Is anyone else having 10 days off? Woop! I used 2 coats of Barry M - Station Road and used acrylic paint for the shells, nose and eyes, followed by 1 coat of Glisten & Glow (my new fave top coat!)

Sally Hansen - Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour

Enter my international giveaway to win 1 of 4 nail polish bundle packs!

Hello everyone! Today I have 4 of the new Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat nail colours to show you! (RRP $9.95 from Priceline) They are super awesome matte bar glitters in a clear base but they give the illusion of hairy/fuzzy nails! They were very easy to apply and I used 1 coat on each combination you will see below. Here are the looks!

Sally Hansen - Fuzz Sea*: a mix of sea foam light green and dark green bar glitters. 1 coat shown here over 2 coats of China Glaze - Kalahari Kiss*.

I found it really hard to capture this combination!

Sally Hansen - Peach Fuzz*: a yellow and orange bar glitter mix. This 1 coat looked so amazing paired on top of 2 coats of China Glaze - Too Yacht To Handle*

Sally Hansen - Tweedy*: a really awesome mix of black and white bar glitters. This combination also looked really striking! I used 1 coat of Tweedy over 2 coats of China Glaze - Highlight Of My Summer*.

Sally Hansen - Wool Knot*: a mix of blue and white bar glitters. I used 1 coat here over 2 coats of Ciate - Big Yellow Taxi. I wore this look for 5 days and received so many compliments!

Have you picked up any of these new Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat colours? They are so cool! My favourite is definitely Tweedy! Thanks for stopping by!

Barry M - Textured Nail Effect 2013 Collection

Enter my 500 follower giveaway here to win 7 nail polishes!

Hey guys! A few weeks ago I showed you one of Barry M's textured polishes here. Today I have the other 3 in the collection to show you. I did a little skittle manicure with them all. Ridley Road is the gorgeous bright pastel mint green colour, Kingsland Road is the baby pink colour and Atlantic Road is the baby blue colour. I applied 2 coats and it took about 30 minutes to dry fully. I also applied some cute little 3d bow stickers my sister bought me from Japan. These nails were very striking and I enjoyed wearing them as opposed to the first time I wore Station Road (pastel yellow).

Will you be picking any of these up?? I hope you like this post! Thanks for reading.

Barry M - Textured Polishes 2013 Collection

Enter my current $50AUD gift voucher giveaway here!

Hello everyone!! Today I have a textured colour from Barry M's new collection to show you called Station Road. In the bottle it is a beautiful bright yellow with gorgeous yellow glitter in it. When it is applied onto the nail it dries into a very textured almost sand-like finish. It's all about textures this year! I saw beautiful swatches over at One Nail To Rule Them All and immediately had to buy all four colours but when I applied it and waited for it to dry (which mind you took at least an hour!) I wasn't very wowed by it. It just didn't look that great. I'm not hesitant to try the other 3 colours :-( I used 3 coats here and no top coat. 

Close up it looks a bit like grated cheese or creamed corn. . . lol. Have you made a recent purchase you regret? Thanks for reading!!
