Two Tone Nails & I'm a Half Marathon Finisher!!

Hey guys! How are you all? I am very very very very sore! My entire body is super sore because my boyfriend and I ran the Gold Coast half marathon (21km) yesterday! It was very very hard but I made it all the way in 2 hours and 18.30 minutes and i'm super proud of myself!

Today I was going to buy a nice peach colour by Essie I saw at Myer the other day, but when I went back, I couldn't find it on the stand! Boo. Anyway I decided to do a two tone nail. I used two different colours; China Glaze - For Audrey, a really gorgeous tiffany blue creme, and OPI - Mod About You, my favourite pastel pink creme. Both applied gorgeously and I only used 1 coat on each nail. Firstly I stuck some striping tape diagonally onto my nail and painted the bottom half with For Audrey and the top half with Mod About You and carefully peeled the tape off. I then applied 1 coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.

I was going to use my glitter striper to fill the gap in the middle, but I actually preferred it without and liked the distinct separation between the two colours. This reminds me of an ice cream van or something from a Katy Perry film clip lol :)




I think this mani looks better from afar but I still think it is really really cute! What does this mani remind you of?

And here's a pic of me after the marathon, looking worse for wear but still standing (...just!)

Thanks for reading!!

Milani - Key West and a New Watermark!

Hey everybody! My last two exams are looming and I am getting a bit nervous....eeeek! Today I have for you a colour that I have been lemming ever since I saw swatches of this on Let Them Have Polish. The lovely Jasmine from Colour Coated did an amazing swap with me and got me this lovely along with some other super gorgeous colours!! Milani Key West is a deep teal foil that illuminates! The brush on Milani is quite good, I had forgotten what it was like, and the formula was good, it needed 2 coats for full opacity. I topped it off with 1 coat of Orly's Sec-N-Dry.

I've been playing around with some new watermarks today and I finally found a design I like so voila! My watermark :-) Have a great evening/day everyone!





This colour isn't what i was expecting! this is the most truest colour in photos as on my nails! I still like it, but it isn't exactly the same as over at Let Them Have Polish.

Nonetheless, it is a gorgeous colour! Thanks for reading
