Zoya Charla & a Grumpy Baby

Just my pic to join the hundreds in cyberspace. This was 3 coats..it's a gorgeous color but the wear was horrible. Chips after 2 hours of wear, and most of that was driving in the car. The removal was a nightmare and my fingers are still stained, ugh.
Am I the only one not overly fond of this??


And just cause I think this pic I took today of my now 2 year old was hilarious. This was her 'Miss. Diva had to stand still for 2 seconds, I'm contemplating a tantrum' face.

I'm In LOVE!

....with Nubar Petunia Sparkles! Sigh....isn't this the most spectaular, wonderful, beautiful, gorgeous, dreamy, blingy, awesome, original color you have ever seen?? I haven't been this blown away by a polish color for awile but I can't stop staring at my magnificent nails.
I love you Petunia, with your full coverage at 2 coats glitter, the peculiar magenta color you are for want of a better description, the non furry feeling you give making a coat of Seche hardly needed, the way you make strangers stop and ask me what color I am wearing, for the way my daughter thinks my nails are the bestest in the world.

A backup bottle is needed PRONTO, off to ebay shopping I go.

The question is, are her Sparkle brothers and Sisters just as FAB???

Roses Among The Thorns

I'm really loving this mani, it looks super cute IRL.
This is China Glaze Roses among the thorns, which is a hot pink (?, more leaning towards a slight pink/orangey??) neon and unlike most neons, applied wonderfully in 2 coats. I used my new Bundle Monster french tips plate in the checkboard pattern with White Konad, added silver glitter striping and as an after thought it needed a little black butterfly on each hand.
It's generating heaps of comments!

Zoya Ivanka

I seriously need a new camera. It hates purples and greens with a vengeance....can anyone recommend me a brilliant macro camera??
This is 2 coats of Zoya Ivanka (3 would have been better to remove all traces of VNL), a glorious sparkly mermaidy green, as we all know. But I have to Konad over it with China Glaze Metallic Muse and 1 coat of Seche QD.
It really was awesome IRL and super blingy!

Giveaway Winner!

Giveaway winner! The general consesus for the candy was CHOCOLATE...of course! Second up were Honeycomb which is our Crunchie and Cherry Ripe was featured pretty heavily as well. So I thought an assortment of chocolate was in order. I hope you International followers don't have Time Out and Boost bars....?? If so, please let me know and I'll substitute those for something else.

Without further ado, the winner is....SAMMERSAURUS!! Yay Congratulations!!!! (What a freakazoid face I did...ugh) I hope you LUV your Aussie polishes and Choc!


There was the usual entries that were deleted due to them not being my blog followers or annonymous entries that did not include their following name...the usual stuff. The usual entry included most of the possible 7 entries, so I had to rip up massive amounts of paper...think I stopped counting over 500....I really must master that computer random thingy for the sake of my Green conscience.

Thank you all once again for entering my giveaway. I have several polishes accumulated already for my next one...STAY TUNED!

Del Sol

My parents were awesome enough to bring me back 6 Del Sol color change polishes from the Bahamas last week, so here are the swatches!
These are all 2 swatches, for full mani's they would have needed 3 to remove all VNL. It is also Winter in Australia so sunlight is at a minimum, in full sunlight these colors would have been darker...I like to think.

First up is my favourite, Girls Night Out.



Ruby Slippers. I am hoping in Summer this will turn a dark red like the color sticker promises it should.



Surfer Girl. A nice frosty pink but it turned a rather sickly pale orange on me.



Spike. A frosty green that turns to a pale lilac.



Electrick, a frosty blue that turns frosty pale green.



and Island Fever. A pale to dark frost green.



As mentioned, I think these would work better in our Summer sunlight. And they all would look great with some Konading!

Nyx Girls Ink & CG 2030

After swatching Nyx Girls Ink last week, I made it into a full mani for my Bead Show this weekend. This was 2 coats with China Glaze 2030 Konading. Different designs each hand as I couldn't decide which one to go with.



This is for day 3 of my Bead Show, 2 coats of 2030 with Black Pearl Konad...again, different designs for each hand!
