PCF Summer Challenge Day 1!

Woo! Here we go!

Todays challenge is “the Olympic Torcdh starts its journey”. Not a big olympic fan, but hey, always worth a shot!

I used Ulta 3 Jellybean for my ‘ocean,’ used a nail art pen to dot and stripe the points where the torch lands and a gradient of Orly Glowstick, Mode Rave’n and Ulta3 Sizzling Red for the flame!

Also, check out my fellow challengers!

Bottle Spam Sunday & Link Love

Today’s bottle spam is something pretty special – Vintage Misa.

I love the Misa brand. I can vividly remember the launch of their Poisoned Passion collection back in 2008. I had just started really getting into nails – I already had a large vintage stash, but this was about the time that I started learning about brands and new stuff. I ordered a bunch of them from Head 2 Toe Beauty and the beautiful blues and purples still remain among my favourites, and of course we can’t forget the uniqueness of Toxic Seduction. That shade is still unique in my stash to this very day.

Seasonal Franken Series – Winter

It’s been a while since I last updated but today, I bring you the final installment of my Seasonal Franken Series – Winter. I have something of a love-hate relationship with winter. Being someone who hails from a tropical climate, I struggle with any weather that’s remotely cold hence the hate part. On the other hand, having cold weather means being able to do things like snuggling up under quilts and being able to enjoy hot drinks instead of sweating over them. It’s that sense of comfort and appreciation of warmth that I love about winter.

From Japan, with (eBay) love

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend! This and the ulta3 post are scheduled posts as I knew that this weekend was going to be crazy busy… Yep Mad May continues!

Last week I was super excited to receive a package of Japanese beauty and cosmetic products that I’d ordered from eBay. Reviews coming soon, but here’s some photos for now as a teaser…

Stay beautiful! x

*I* swatched this – don't worry it was indeed in perfect condition when I received it!

Two-tone/Half & half

When I started this mani, I wasn’t really sure about what I wanted to all. All I knew was that I wanted to use Essie Borrowed & Blue and No More Film, and have a two-tone half nail effect.

I started by applying two coats of B&B, then taped across one half of my nail and topped off with a coat of NMF. I have to say that I was rather underwhelmed by the result I though jazzing it up a bit might help, so I broke out The Hungry Asian’s Twenty Ten glitter polish an applied this over the top of the NMF half of my nails.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects – Bling It On

Bling It On is pink and orange glitter nail polish strips. These are the first nail polish strips I’ve used. The application was easy. You choose the strip that best fits your nail shape and then peel of the backing paper and stick it on your nail. Then you press it down over all of your nail and file off the excess at the tip. I didn’t have any problems with creases when applying these. The only thing I didn’t like about the application was when you file off the excess at the tip it looks like you have tip wear already.

Pretty Serious VT100

Unless you have been living under a rock, you will all know that Kaz from Pretty-Random fame has released her own line of cosmetics very aptly named Pretty Serious. She has just released her first collection called ‘Hello World’ and I have a few of her polishes and cosmetics to show over the next few days.

Today I have VT100 which is an Emerald green filled with golden micro glitter. The above pictures are taken under artifical light.

And these photos are taken in natural sunlight. This was 2 coats of VT100.

Untried Month x Stash Swatching! – Butter London Tart With A Heart

Hello heroines!

I love glitter, glitter of all sorts! And today’s polish is astonishing.

Three coats of Tart With A Heart swatched with base coat and top coat

Gold micro glitter with holographic specks

This will definitely make a gorgeous layering polish, I can’t wait to layer it over various polishes! It tends to drag if you don’t give it sufficient drying time so please do. Other than that, the formula is brilliant!
