CG Unplugged & Mode Diamonte...& Giveaways!

I'm loving this mani but not loving the photos, it won't show the BLING!! These nails are SUPER DOOPER blingy with rainbow blindness! I'm sure I have shown them to everyone I know at least twice.
2 coats of China Glaze Unplugged, a lovely shimmery chocolate color with 2 coats of Mode Diamonte (an Australian brand on the cheap side at only $2.45 a bottle...I even stocked up on a second bottle of this for a backup). No top coat was needed as they were nice and smooth.

Ulta3 Allure

I had a bright orange Cheetos Tiger manicure all lined up then I recieved some long awaited Chez-Delaney plates in the mail... with my new spidys and webs plate I have been hanging out for! So I picked out a new nude color, Ulta3 Allure, 2 coats with Black Pearl Konading and one coat of Seche QD.
And a pic with my one and only Goth whopper ring, an awesome one of a kind sterling silver and amythest crystal boulder ring handmade by a jeweller on Etsy.

Vintage Couture + Cupcakes

I got a few new fauxnad plates yesterday and got one strictly for it's cupcake design! The base is 3 coats of Vintage Couture, the forumla is streaky and thin and 3 coats barely got it streak free and smooth..ugh. Then Konad-ed with Chocolate Brown and red glitter. One coat of Seche QD.

One another note, I drove 3 hours to go to my nearest Ikea today with one mission in mind...to buy a Helmer!! They are so darn cute! BUT..I had to walk out of the store without one...on PRINCIPLE! These drawer units are $39.99 in America and Europe but in Australia they are $119.00! Can you believe it?? No way was I going to pay that ripoff amount of money. Now can you see how much us Aussies have to fork out over and beyond the rest of you guys? I could start with $19 OPI, $15 China Glaze, $30 Nfu-Oh, $18 Orly, $13 Loreal.....but I won't because this post would go on forever.

Grumble, grumble. :)

Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.....

This color is divine, I'm loving my nails today! This is 3 coats of Color Club's Mrs. Robinson with Fashion Addict holographic KOnading, which is giving a nice rainbow shimmer in the light. Only problem is my camera cannot capture the true color, which is similar to China Glaze's Flying Dragon without the glitter. My pics look pink whereas Mrs R is a magenta purple, not pink at all...sorry. One coat of Seche QD makes this a super glossy manicure.

Lubu Heels

This is 2 coats of Lubu heels by China Glaze, which as everyone knows is a black base with red glitter.
I just received OPI polish remover in the mail and it removes glitter instantly, the stuff is amazing!

I thought it looked rather vampy but I wanted it off to try something new so I quickly stamped a Pirate / Twilight-y theme to amuse myself, then removed it with that awesome OPI magic!

Jade is the New Black?

Sorry peoples, I can't see the hype! It's a nice color but....I just didn't get excited once I put it on. In my humble opinion NOTHING beats black! Except maybe black with some awesome glitter included! Anyway, this was 2 coats and is wonderfully glossy. I then Konad stamped it with China Glaze Metallic Muse.

My nails were getting a little long for my liking, I find it hard to work properly with my torch flame if I have talons, so I filed my nails shorter in a square shape for the first time ever. Have I done a good enough job, any tips for me?

Naomi used China Glaze Sweet Cream for this manicure with Metallic Muse Konading. For those that haven't yet heard, China Glaze Khrome collection is perfect for stamping. Thx for the pic Nomes!
