Sophie’s 21st Birthday Party: Part Three (A Short One!)

I can’t believe it but I can count the amount of days until my birthday party one on hand. Yay. I’m beyond excited. As I’m sure you can imagine, I feel like there’s still so much to do but, whenever I try to make a list, nothing comes to mind. Thanks makes things difficult!  Last weekend was spent cleaning and prepping for the party. When I say cleaning I mean...

‘White Wednesday’ – White Gadgets & Gifts

Introducing … White Wednesday Ok I admit it, I am still a dedicated ‘pink’ fanatic. I have loved the colour since birth…literally! Though lately, I have started loving the colour white. So much in-fact, that I thought I’d dedicate an entire day to it. I have gathered up a few of my favorite ‘white gadgets of the week’ for you to have a peek at. Introducing…...

Nailene Calcium Gel Kit

Of the three products Nailene sent me, the Calcium Gel Kit was the one I was most excited about. However, it is also the one I was most disappointed with. The kit comes with a 5gram bottle of Gel Overlay, a 7mL bottle of Gel Activator, a dropper, some false tips and a 2 sided buffer. How you apply it is very different for a ‘gel’ kit, as you need no UV or LED light. I found it very weird...

How I Apply Glitter Polishes (Video)

Hey guys! Just a quick little post for you tonight to share my newest YouTube video with you. I had some requests to show how I apply glitter nail polishes, particularly indie brand glitters. They can definitely be much trickier to apply than a plain creme polish. I hope this video helps those of you who are having trouble applying glitter polishes. Lately I’m updating my YouTube channel at...

Practice Makes Perfect

Yes, practice makes perfect. I’ve learnt that in many occasions and that’s the reason I’m posting this fail of a manicure.  It all started with CoverGirl’s Always Naked. I bought four of their new Outlast range at Coles for $13.30. That works out less than $3.50 each and an absolute bargain so I went for colours I didn’t have.  I first applied two...

Nicole by OPI – Candid Cameron

Hello hello! Here is a short and sweet post, featuring Nicole by OPI Candid Cameron :) I applied two coats of this beauty and then sealed it in with a top coat. The duochrome shift really doesn’t appear on the nail, but I love the teal shade so what can I say! A really pretty one to pull out and wear when in the mood for a brighter teal ♥ Thanks for reading as always! ~Sharon

Tail fins with tail lights…

Just a quick post today, a variation on yesterday. A friend suggested to me to try to give the cars brake lights, so I put some red led xmas lights behind my fingers and this is what I came up with. Hard to get a decent picture as the lights are only held in place by me pushing on them.

Sponging is Back!!!!!

I used to do a lot of abstract sponging but my sponges had been hidden away for some time and as you know ‘out of sight, out of mind’. But this girl had a big clean up and rearranged a bunch of my nail art supplies. Along with this I also saw this awesome mani by Penelope Luz that I used as inspiration for my mani. Polish used were Essie Sew Psyched, Orly It’s Not Rocket Science...

Lace up corsets – water decals from Born Pretty Store

I have a really easy nail art mani for you tonight featuring some water decals from the Born Pretty Store again.  These adorable little corsets are so simple to create.   I started with a very sheer pink base – Bourjois Rose Lounge.  I then painted each nail in two strokes from about 1/3 of the way down using Picture Polish Candy.  This formed the shape of a love heart...
