Pretty Serious Cosmetics Raes Rainbow Swatches.

Hi there everyone!

Today i have a very special polish to share with you.
Pretty Serious Cosmetics Is an Aussie brand that has been around for some time now. I am a huge fan of Pretty Serious Cosmetics and I own nearly every polish all but 3 of them. So when they announced that they were doing another Limited Edition I knew I HAD to purchase it as soon as it became available.

I was lucky enough to see the polish in real life before its release when I went to a polish meet up the other month. And OMG! it was so pretty! Introducing Raes Rainbow.


I think it is an awesome thing that Kaz and Ben are doing at Pretty Serious Cosmetics. To raise money for Diabetes UK. As a person who has a family history of Diabetes and i had gestational Diabetes when I was pregnant with both my girls. I know how much this condition can effect your life. So the fact that $5 from each polish is going toward a great cause im stoked! and was happy to buy it!

And what a great polish it is too. I will let the polish do the talking shall I? 
This is 2 coats with a top coat of Seche Vite.








I Also decided to try Essie Matte top coat as well on the polish. and i really loved it this way too!!!



You get great coverage with only 2 coats and almost no VNL either!

To purchase this polish head on over to Pretty Serious Cosmetics. The polish will be available until the 31st December 2013.
If you do not live in Australia no problems! check out Pretty Serious cosmetics Stockists Page for your local stockist!

Until next time........

Dead set Babes- Aussie nails Monday...well Tuesday...again!




Hi there everyone,
Once again i'm a day late!!! man i'm slack but i have finally got the pics to share with you! 
This week for AN Monday the theme was pink Aussie indies. So i got out a pretty polish i got ofr my birthday from the lovely Bella of Dead Set Babes.

The polish is called all of the lights. It is a Pink creme with many different coloured hexes and squares all small in size. I needed 3 coats on my nails and a top coat.
The application was excellent.i had no issues with pulling or streaking at all. i could of used 2 coats but i got a bit "polish happy"and used 3.

So lets look at the polish.... (all pics today were taken in a light box with artificial light.) 






Pretty right??!! i don't usually wear cremes and glitter very often, i'm just no a huge fan but i likes the fact this polish was not wishy washy and had lots of colour.

You can purchase Dead Set Babes on ETSY and they do ship overseas. you can also like their FACEBOOK PAGE for any upcoming offers and specials, new releases etc.... and check them out on INSTAGRAM @desdsetbabes.

Aussie Nails Monday *cough cough* Tuesday......



It is another Aussie nails Monday Tuesday . Im running a day late this week due to a bug that has come down on our family and we have all been crook Blagh! We are better now so i'm frantically catching up on deadlines for work and blog posts.

So this week for AN monday was pink and purple Aussie indies. I chose Pretty Serious Cosmetics Emma Louise
Now this polish was a lemming for me for some time. it was limited to 100 bottles and i did not get one :( but my friend Natalia had a bottle and was nice enough to decant some for me!! YEAH!!!!

Then PS cosmetics re released a few more limited bottles and to my surprise my friend Nicki brought me one for my birthday! so i was super happy!!!

here are the pics....




 



This was 2 coats by itself with a clear top coat. The polish is a little thick but after a few drops of thinner it was perfect and went on a dream.
words do not describe how much i love this polish! it is perfect! the colours together are just right and it really suits my skin tone.
You can no longer purchase Emma Louise any more but Pretty Serious Cosmetics  stock any other beautiful polishes that you will fall in love with!!!and they do have many etailers around the world who stock their products as well!!!

until next time.......

AN monday- Aussie indies.....blue or green



Hey there everyone!
This month on Aussie nails monday we have the theme of aussie indies and a different colour theme each week!
For this week the choice of colours were blue and green.
So today i have 2 manis for you to check out one blue and one green.

First up is my green mani.
This polish is by Celestial cosmetics and is from their new Sons of Anarchy Collection.
The polish is called Charming.

Charming is a green shimmer polish with squares and dots in blue green and gold. i layered 2 coats of Charming over Ulta3 frog prince.
The application was good, tho it did take a little time to dry btu a quick coat of seche vite top coat fixed that issue.
I totally adore this colour, but then im a sucker for green! Charming is available now at  Celestial cosmetics for AUD $9.95. they only ship in australia but if you are overseas check out color 4 nails as they ship everywhere :)

OK so now my next polish for today!

Femme Fatale Cosmetics has their own range of polish along with stocking many other brands of indies from around the world.
Today i chose Coldwraith for my blue polish.

Coldwraith is 1 coat over 2 coats of  Essence The boy next door (the new version not the old version) and 1 coat of Seche vite.
The colour and glitter in this polish is just amazing. It shines in the sun and in the shade. i just could not stop looking at my pinkies when i had this polish on!!!!
The polish was quite thick so i popped a couple drops of nail thinner in mine to thin it down a bit which made application a lot easier to do.

The glitter pay off with one coat is fantastic and although i used undies for this polish i think 3 coats by itself would be fine also.

You can pick up Coldwraith at Femme Fatale Cosmetics  within australia and they do also ship internationally.

so that is is for this week AN monday but next week is pink and purple..... so keep an eye out wont you!!!!

A quick post of a pretty polish. Shades of Phoenix Ceto






hello there everyone!!
Today is a super quick post. i just wanted to share with you all a pretty polish created buy the wonderful Shades of Phoenix. 

This polish is called Ceto.


A beautiful shade of blue with glitter through out!!!!
for anyone who does not know who Ceto is here is a little history lesson for you.......

"KETO (or Ceto) was a marinegoddess who personified the dangers of the sea. She was more specifically a goddess of whales, large sharks, and sea-monsters (Greek ketea). She consorted with her brother, the sea-god Phorkys, and produced a brood of awful monsters : Ekhidna (the Viper), Skylla (the Crab), Ladon (the Dragon), the Graia (the Grey), and the Gorgones (the Terrible Ones).
As the mother of Skylla Keto was also called Krataiis (Of the Rocks), Lamia (the Shark) and Trienos (Three-Times). The last title equating her with the thrice-swallowing whirlpool-monster Kharybdis. Krataiis was also identified or confused with the goddess Hekate, a divinity whose power extended over the sea. There was also a Krataiis river in the territory of the Brutti, near the Straits of Messina in Italy."

Ok so enough of the greek god history lesson :)

Here is my swatch of this fantastic polish. i have 3 coats with a seche vite top coat. and a standard base coat.


Isn't it amazing???   


the application was fine and it dried a little slower than your store brought polish but that is what a fast dry top coat is for!!!!!

if you would like to purchase this polish you can purchase directly from Shades of Phoenix  for AUD $9.50 or if you are overseas you can purchase the polish from Color 4 nails or Mei Mei's Signatures

Celestial Cosmetics- Poppy's Flower Swatch and review.


Hello there everyone! Today i have a beautiful polish up for review.
I have to admit i am a little bias as this polish was inspired by my little one pops. so you can see why i would just love this polish. But irrelevant of the name i fell in love when i popped it on my nails!!!

Introducing.......... Celestial costmetics Poppy's Flower. I was lucky enough to receive this bottle of polish for my birthday group pressy so i have got it before its release on 1st July.




Now im not a huge fan of red polish, tho since i had the Pops i have grown to love a lot of red and orange polish purely because i have started to collect all polish with the name Poppy.

Poppy's Flower is a beautiful red jelly with black glitter in several sizes along with some red hexes too.



how much does this represent a poppy???!!!!

I think it does perfectly!!!


So the polish itself.... All my swatches with this polish are with a clear base coat and 2 coats of Poppy's Flower and no top coat.






The quality of the polish was great and did not streak at all even when i applied my second coat only a few mins after my first coat. The polish dried really quick  but as with all polish i always recommend a Quick dry top coat just in case of an unwanted bump.

The distribution of the glitter was great, and i did not have to dab at all, just normal brush strokes to get this coverage.

Celestial cosmetics Poppy's Flower will be available from  1st July over at Celestial Cosmetics this polish is part of her new collection coming out and i really hope to eventually get all of them!!!!
