Ninja Polish Garnet & Zultanite

This manicure started off as Ninja Polish Color changing Garnet over black. It didn't WOW me all that much so I layered Zultanite over that.

Zultanite is GORGEOUS and instantly made this POP!

These 2 photos are taken in sunlight and the ones below are in natural shaded light.

 

 

It comes alive in shaded light with an immediate morphing of the colors.  Be prepared to do nothing all day but look at your gorgeous beetle nails!

New Fringe & 80's Does 50's Dress

 

 

 

I do not DO 1980's.  But this dress has a pattern I didn't quite mind as it's *almost* Atomic looking. 

 

 

I chopped my fringe from the typical Betty Page U shaped to the V shaped Sarah style.  I quite like my new Vulcan shaped fringe, but it is hard to keep styled into a point!

Crows Toes BLUE CHRISTMAS

 

I am nearing the end of my Crows Toes extravaganza!

 This is Blue Christmasm a dense glitter in tiny blue and black colors with some silver holographics thrown in for super sparkle. ( Ignore my bare tips, I decided to scrap a sticker off the kids window before they had dried properly.)

Photos are 3 coats, no base color is needed. First 2 above are taken in shaded natural light, photo below is in full sunlight.

Crows Toes can be purchased at Llarowe and Overall Beauty.

MUD Electrify It

Woolworths has a bin of super cheap MUD polishes for $2! I got this one last time I HAD to go in a supermarket (I get my groceries delivered weekly), and was keen to find out what the formula was like.

 

Formula was thin, this is 3 coats.  The other cheap brand in almost the same color is Ulta3 Purple Pumps and that needs only 2 coats.  Stamped with China Glaze 2030 and Cheeky plates.

1940s Polkadot Dress Set, Bakelite Cherries & Irregular Choice!

 

My goodness, I bought this 1940's dress set sooooooooo long ago and I only just pulled it out of the wardrobe now to wear!  Does this mean I have too many clothes?

 

 

I am a HUGE sucker for front pockets.

 

 

It has rhinestone buttons and I'm wearing bakelite cherries! 

 

This brooch arrived with a cherry floating around in the box.  If you are in the market for a dangling cherries piece, please inspect the string attaching the bakelite balls very carefully before buying.  If buying online, make sure you ask the seller if the strings have the green plastic missing and if there is any wear to the exposed strings before bidding.

 

 

I got more comments wearing this set from anything else I've worn for a while.  It's become a little tight in the waist area.....but I am trying to work on that!

FNUG Psychadelic

 

 

Yep, it's another silver holographic on the polish market. But it's a good one. Yes, I did also buy the Aqua Base and yes, it does make a huge difference as to the application and coats needed. I am converted.

Two coats of FNUG Psychadelic, finished with a coat of Seche QD.
