Aussie nails week- red back spider mani.

Hi there everyone,

So today is a mani which is cute but a bit creepy especially if you do not like spiders......

Red backs are a spider here in oz, they are kind of like the black widow or america but they have a big ass red stripe on their butts. Their bite can kill a child, but would make a adult very sick.

They are little buggers which make their webs everywhere and seem to like getting where they are not suppose too! ive seen on many occasion one under a chair I need to sit on etc. And we are always finding them in our garden.

So I created some nail art with several stamping plates and Ulta3 polish and a little glitter.

I painted my nails with Ulta3 Allure then stamps with mash plate 53 to create the woodgrain effect with Ulta3 Chinchily, then with mash plate 38 and Messy mansion plate MM11 i stamped the spiders in Ulta3 lily black, then popped the red on them with Ulta3 sizzling red striper polish. Lastly I added a little bit of gliter to the wet red polish and popped a top coat on.

Creepy but cute!!!

You can purchase Ulta 3 at your local chemist, and online at The Heat Group. My stamp plates i got from MASH nails and the MM11 plate from Messy Mansion.

Aussie nails week- beach scene

Hi there everyone!

Today I have a beach scene I creates for my nails. Lets face it, the beach is an Aussie tradition. From a very young age I have memories going to Windang NSW with my Nan and Pop every Christmas holidays. Fishing, prawning, playing in the ocean etc.

Now I have kids we take them to Kiama NSW most years, and they play in the sand etc. and pretty much have a ball!

Zoe in 2010 at Kiama.

With all these great memories, I created a beach scene on my nails with Ulta3 polish.

I used Ulta 3 soft hydrangea, block it out, blue marlin, midnight fever, striking, charcoal, Chinchilly, earl grey, xoxo, lily white and black satin. The base was soft hydrangea then from there I painted with a brush and sponge the scene, then topped with a clear top coat.

The do remind me so much of the beach we use to go to as a kid!!!

Ulta3 Polish is awesome for nail art and can be purchased for $2 at your local chemist or online at The Heat Group.

Aussie Nails week - hand painted cockies

Hi there everyone! how are you?

Today I have taken inspiration from a painting i found on the internet. Here is the painting.

Image source-

This painting was painted by a lady called Jacqui McKinnon. And I love it! So I decided to try and paint this on my nails.

I used Zoya Song for the blue background, then with acrylic paint painted the background of branches and leaves. Then with Ulta3 polish (lily white,charcoal,honolulu,black satin,xoxo,chinchilly and soft hydrangea) I painted the cockies. then popped a top coat over it all.

It took quite a while to paint as each layer of polish had to dry.

I hope you like it I was quite happy with the results.

I love Ulta3 for nail art, I find that their opaqueness makes for good artwork.

If your interested in picking up a bottle or two of Ulta3 you can pick them up for only $2.00 at your local chemist or online at The heat group.

Tri polish tuesday - 21st Jan

So as you might of guessed from yesterday post this week is Australia day week, and a bunch of us Aussie bloggers are doing nails to share our love for Australia. I really wanted to make sure I did all my challenges this week even tho we are doing Aussie manis. so today for Tri polish Tuesday, i have used red and yellow of the 3 colours to create my mani today.

A huge Aussie staple is Vegemite!!! When i lived in the UK for 6 years i had to get my mum to send me tubes of it to me regularly as i love it on toast, plus it is great to pop into gravy etc. Marmite is just not the same :(

When I was a kid they played a jingle for Vegemite on the TV, i still sing it today sometimes when I get the Vegemite out! It funny how you remember these things!

I decided to use Ulta3 Honolulu and chocolate cake to create the mani, and then I printed in white decal paper the little red Vegemite symbols.

I think the mani turned out quite well!!!!
