Cinderella is a lovely baby blue color with pink shimmer. It is on the sheer side and these swatches were 3 coats. You can still see nail line, but 3 coats just didn't dry so I knew 4 coats were just not going to work.
I made a franken mini flakie recently containing Nfu Oh 44, Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, Esmalte Espectral, Nfu Oh 54 and Australia Speck-takular! This is 2 coats over Cinderella with a coat of Seche QD.
Needless to say it was still soggy the next morning! There are bald spots all my nails where the polish just slid away. Did Cinderella ever dry on you guys??
In Australia, Revlon's Starry Pink has been renamed Popular for some reason.....anybody know??
This was a lemming of mine for a long time and it took ages before it was released in Oz. Then of course, it was $14.95 so I refused to get it until Target had them marked down to $10.
This was 2 coats.
And stamped with Warm Black Konad, finished with a coat of Seche QD.
I made myself a new necklace! And everytime I look at it I have that stupid Wiggles song run thru my head....."fruit salad, yummy yummy." Cathy from More Nail Polish, YOU will know what I'm talking about!!
The dress is new-ish. I got it awhile ago but the Ebay seller neglected to mention that the hem was completely SCREWIFF. I tried it on for the first time and was horrified to see the front dipped up, then down, and up and DOWN! A dressmakers visit later the hem was fixed and so was the hole in the side that was also not mentioned in the ebay listing. GRRRRRR.

Adam Ant came to Melbourne last weekend and we, of course, had tickets! We are always first in line to anything 1980's. And in the front row.
He's 57. You will all have to agree, he still rocks it!
Look for me in the front row!! Next to hubby with the bald head....don't tell him I wrote that.
The concert was great, his focals were strong and clear and he rocked the stage jumping everywhere and posing. The only thing that absolutely ruined it was his floozy backup singer (if you can call someone who sings "ooohh ooohh" a backup singer) who kept reappearing in skimpier and skimpier outfits until in the end she showed up wearing only lingerie with suspenders. You could hear every woman in the audience groan with frustration....and even the men were strangely quiet.
It was disheartening that Adam thought he needed to reduce the concert to such stunts, his performance was more than enough without dragging some floozy into the mixture whose sole job was to touch herself all night. I was very angry, women like her keep the rest of us in the dark ages.
Anyway, on to me. Hopefully the non floozy type.
This dress seems to be my concert dress as it seems to make an appearance when I need to shake my 80's booty. I teemed it up a huge red petticoat, fishnet stockings and my FABULOUS Tigerlily shoes. Teemed with Victory rolls and bright red and black eyeshadow, my look was definitely Vintage Goth.

Did any other of my Aussie followers catch any of this shows?
A local shop had a full display of these and I grabbed a few of them. They were 2 for $15 and altho they are cheaper on eBay, I had the benefit of seeing the colors in person before buying.
All swatches are one coat and I used the 3 in 1 China Glaze magnet, as the Nabi magnets were very weak.
Cappucino.
Wine
Teal. This has a gorgeous gold shimmer running thru it which my photos didn't pick up.
Dark Gold. Luv the glitter in this one! Middle finger was 2 coats and I prefer the darker color.
Cinnamon. The magnet barely worked on this color. The photos actually show it more clearly than what it was in real life.
Dark Wine. My favourite. I love how the Wine red turns into an almost black around the magnetic effect.
What other Nabi colors should I be looking at getting?
