Aussie Nail Monday Plaid nails

Hi there everyone! today for Aussie nails monday the challenge was to try a new tutorial. So iff i hopped to Pinterest to check out some tutorials.

One of the things i wanted to try which I have never quite mastered is a Plaid/tartan mani. so i found THIS pined tutorial on plaid manis and gave it a go.

I used OPI christmas gone plaid (very appropriate ) and OPI over and over a gwen for the main 2 colours then the fine lines I used Celestial Cosmetics new stamping polish called Midas and OPI Alpine snow.  I am really happy with the results for my first attempt!!!

Make sure you check out everyone else's manis this week below!!!

Aussie Nails monday- sandy claws

Hi there everyone!!! This morning for Aussie nails monday we have the theme....Sandy claws. I thought CATS!!! then realized it was texture polish!!!

The mani I did for sandy claws with a cat was not really the right thing! but Dance legend came to the rescue! I have hteir texture top coat polish called Sahara. It is amazing. You can pop it over any mani to create a textured mani. amazing right?!?

Herei s my mani.

I had used the new Celestial Cosmetics Facebook Celestial Star Group exclusive - Orion and then Celestial cosmetics Obsidian. I used Zoya Elisa for the red and some cat decals from Born Pretty Store.

I love the effect the Sahara top coat creates!!!!

Make ure you check out everyone elses ANmondays manis!!!!

Aussie Nails Monday- polish that starts with an S

Hi there everyone!!!!! Todays challenge for aussie Nails monday is polish that starts with an S. Well that was a hard one....with over 1500 polishes ATM trying to pick one was SOOOOO hard!

After having a good look through my collection I picked out Crows Toes Svartalfheim. 

I purchased the whole Crows toes 9 realms collection a little while back from Femme Fatale Cosmetics and had not worn a single one. I'll be honest. I did not buy them cause I liked the polish...tho they are all pretty...... I brought them cause I am a huge Loki collector and anything to do with the 9 realms means it is also to do with the world of Loki!!!

So from the whole collection one polish started with the letter S. 

This is the home to the dark elves. In the comic world Svartalfheim was destroyed but there are so many versions on how it happened I wont go into it all....... Anyways pretty much all of the dark elves were killed except for Malekith and a few others. If you watch the movie Thor Dark world the plot goes along these lines.

Ok so the polish....Sorry I get carried away when it comes to Loki/Thor.....comics and all things marvel....... The polish is an amazing navy blue jelly with gunmetal, blue and tiny silver holo glitters. I used 3 coats for opacity and then a Seche Vite top coat.

After wearing this pretty I'm in love and I will have to wear all the others now, so watch this space!!!!!!!!

Crows Toes is available from a variety of stores, tho mine came from Femme Fatale cosmetics

Until next time.......

AN Monday- purple

Hi there everyone! today is Tuesday but i did not have time yesterday to post my AN Monday so I thought id get it done today! better late than never ...right??!!??

So the Theme is purple! I have many purple polishes but I love how the brand Celestial Cosmetics really captures purple every time she creates one!!

I decided that I would share one with you today!

Celestial cosmetics Celestial Sphere is a beautiful purple jelly with many different purple glitter packed in to the polish. I used only 2 coat for this many by itself and the coverage is amazing! I topped with Seche Vite to make it all squishy and shiny!!!

matte top coat

Such an amazing colour!!!!!!

Celestial cosmetics sell many beautiful purples but this is one of my favs!!!

Make sure you check out everyone elses AN Monday manis!!!!

Until next time.......

Hi there everyone! Todays Aussie Nails theme was scary movies and what better movie to do than Stephen Kings IT.

I love how it turned out apart from my pointy finger which is suppose to represent the clowns outfit but looks a bit bright for the rest of the mani.

AN Monday...Superheroes and Villains.

Hi there everyone!!!! today is for sure my Favourite Aussie nails Monday ever!!!! its all about super heroes and villains. If you don't already know i'm a HUGE fan of Loki the god of mischief.  So there was only ever one person I was going to do my nails as .......

Plus this weekend was Supanova which is like comic con for Australians, so I had to my nails for that too!!!! Ok so first up let me share with you all the awesomeness that is Loki.

This is comic book Loki, not to be mistaken for movie Loki which everyone seems to know now cause of Thor and the Avengers. 

Ive loved Loki as a character for ever,but since Tom Hiddleston made him come to life in the marvel movies Loki has become ever so popular. Here is Tom Hiddleston in all his glory portraying Loki.

and one last one.......

So anyways you can see my inspiration.......

here are my nails.... I used Colour club artsy crafty for the green base, then Ulta3 Black satin, Kiko metallic gold for the braiding and stamping, and OPI the man with the golden gun for my thumb. I also used Messy Mansion MM05 plate for stamping, and finally a Loki helmet decal.

I was really happy with them and 3 days later I still have them on with no chips!!!! 

Supanova was awesome and Zoe and I got to meet Stan Lee Creator of the Marvel universe. We had our pic take with him and he signed some of my old vintage comics for me, plus we saw him do a q and A as well. For 91 years old he was jumping all over the place!!! We also got to see Agent May from Agents of SHIELD, Jon Heder,Terry Molloy who plays Davros in Doctor who and John Barrowman who was hilarious!!  It was an awesome weekend apart from all the lines.

Zoe went as black widow on Saturday and the TARDIS on Sunday. I did a LOT of sewing!!!!!

Aussie Nails Monday- Disney Theme

Hi there everyone!

Today is Aussie Nails Monday, and the theme is Disney. My daughter Zoe was excited about this theme and wanted me to do the movie Frozen. Personally I have not seen it,but both my girls watch it over and over and over......... you get the drift.....so I know most of the songs! 

I was going to do the snowman Olaf, but a few other girls in Aussie Nails monday were doing him so I decided to do Elsa. She is the blonde one in the movie thats sings Let it Go.....see you can see I have no clue about the movie!! ill have to watch it at some point I'm sure!!!

So I hunted for some inspiration and found a pic I liked.

Then took my inspiration from that.

I used Picture Polish for the mani apart from one OPI called desperately seeking sequins, from the new Spotlight on Glitter Collection.

After messing about with a LOT of sponges and making my gradient, then stamping snowflakes using QA58 plate from the born Pretty store, I finally finished my mani. Then an added bonus was cause I used Picture Polish Instinct it now was UV reactive!!!!

Im super happy how it turned out! and even tho I wanted to do monster inc on my nails Zoe loves these so a winner all round!!!

You can pick up the Picture polishes I used HERE and the OPI polish from MYER. the stamping plate is from Born Pretty Store and make sure you use the code CATG10 for 10% off your order :)

Make sure you check out everyone else disney manis too!!!
