China Glaze Happy Holi Glaze Collection Part 2




Hello there everyone!

So today is part 2 of the China Glaze Happy Holi Glaze Collection. I have the 3 other foils in the collection today to share with you.

Elfin Around- This is a red/orange coloured foil polish. I do not really have anything quite like it in my collection so I was happy to add it to my stash. The polish went on really well and you could almost get away with one coat. I used 2 coats with a clear top coat.




Mingle with Kringle- Is a gold foil polish. This really reminded me of OPI goldeneye and as I have both I will be doing a comparison post soon with these two, but I do think Goldeneye may be a bit darker. Saying that I love this polish and I will be happy to own both. The polish went on a little streaky with the first coat but the second coat fixed it up and the third just finished off any bald spots.




So Blue With out You- This is a bright blue foil. I wore two coats by itself. As far as I could tell, and I wore this one for over a day, there was no staining,which is a good thing, but I also already have some yellow staining on my nails from a dance legend mishap,so it was hard to tell 100% and i'm so wary of blue foils. All that said, the colour it to die for,so if it does stain, I will just make sure I have a good base coat on.



I have to say that all the foils in this collection were a great formula and I found that they even stamped well too!

Tomorrow I will be sharing with you the Microglitter polishes in this collection.
If you would like to grad any of the polishes I have shared you can get them at Cherry Culture for USD$3.75 each plus postage.

Until next time........

China Glaze Happy Holi Glaze Collection part 1



Hello there Everyone!
So Christmas has past us and the new year has begun, and unfortunately the Christmas collection I was looking forward to the most only arrived here this week. I ordered in the black Friday sales but post to Australia seems to take FOREVER, so I only just got my China Glaze Happy Holi Glaze collection.

This Collection from China Glaze was the most excited I got from anything they released this year! China Glaze just seemed to have some very Blagh collections these past 12 months and honestly I did not buy many, which is weird as I love China Glaze as a brand. But I have to say I was not disappointed with this collection.

I have broken the collection into 4 groups. Today i am going to be sharing with you the Reds and the white texture polish.

*All polish purchased by me.

Just be-claws-Is a very bright shimmery red polish. I really liked this red as it just screamed santa's coat! My camera did not like it so much as it wanted to blow out the pics. I used 2 coats for the pic with a clear top coat.




Santa red my list- This is a  red foil with silver undertones, which if you do a good coat is a one coater. I'm not usually a red gal but i really liked this red polish.




There's snow one like you- Ok. So there was a lot of chatter when this was released. From talks of bird poo nails to vomit nails. Not many people seemed to like it, and I was even considering to give it a miss too after seeing the pics. But i'm glad I brought it!. I will never wear it as a mani by itself but this polish is great for nail art!. The white is a bright white, and the texture is not that bad. I did 2 coats by itself. The first coat went on smoothly but the second coat was a lot harder to apply. The polish seemed to catch on the texture of the previous coat and the polish just did not want to go on, so I ended up dabbing the polish on for the second coat. Having said that in future is I want to use this as a polish by itself  I will do a white base coat first so I only have to put on one coat. The other little treat I found with this polish was that the white glitter in this polish is UV reactive so under a UV light the polish has this great polka dot effect. Cool right?
I used 2 coats with no top coat.





I also decided to try it out over Santa red my list as a santa hat type mani, and it did not look too bad!



Tomorrow I will share with you the other foil polishes in this collection. 
If you are interested in purchasing any of the collection you can grab them where I did at Cherry Culture and they are only USD$3.75 each plus postage.

Until next time........

Dead Set Babes- drowned in custard

Hello there Everyone!
Today I have a polish by Dead set Babes called Drowned in Custard.
This polish was part of the Whats in die box for December. 
I was lucky enough to get one for a xmas pressy from the awesome Bella who owns Dead Set Babes! How lucky was I!!!!

it is a beautiful creme, that is well.... the colour of custard, and it is full of little glitters in metallic colours. The polish went on a dream and only needed 2 coats then a top coat.




If you would lie to get your pinkies on a bottle of Dead set Babes polish head on over to their Website.
and do not forget to hook up on IG @deadsetbabes or check them out on Facebook for upcoming events and specials.
Until next time.....

Hey there everyone!

Lush..... I love this brand so very much, and after the massive haul of candy mountains bubble bars, bath bombs, snow fairy shower gels (yep i got 5 bottles in total!!) its nice to see the LUSH summer range out now to give us all that detox for summer.

* All products purchased by me.

First up is Big Blue Bath Ballistic it has the fragrance of lemon, lavender and seaweed. The smell is so relaxing. and it turns the bath blue which my kids just love!! RRP $6.75

LUSH Australia

Next is Stepping Stone I love that Lush have a foot scrubby. When you are in thongs around and about you don't want dry heels and flakie skin and this is where the stepping stone comes in. The smell is hard to describe. its a fresh and a little zesty, its great...tho don't leave it around for your children to play with.... my 3 yr old thought it was a bath ballistic and when I turned my back Poppy had put it in the bath and it started to disintegrate! Naughty Poppy!!! RRP$5.95

LUSH Australia

Last up is WHOOSH Jelly this comes in 2 sizes 100g and 240g size.
I love how this smells of citrus, it is super refreshing in the morning when your in a rush to get out of the house.Again I love that's it is blue! My eldest daughter Zoe loves Whoosh too so I have to hide it!!!!
The 100g tub is a great size to take on holidays and the larger tub is great for home. RRP$6.25 (100g) and RRP$12.95(240g)

LUSH Australia

Everything is available now at your local Lush store. or you can also purchase LUSH online shipping is a little pricey at $9.00 for the cheapest postal price, but if you cannot get to a LUSH store well worth your cash!

Until next time.....
