Cartoon Nail Art Tutorial

Hello Lacquer Lovers! Today I have a super cute nail art tutorial for you: Cartoon Nails! It is so cute and it’s the perfect way to get those cartoon inspired nails. The best part is that this look can be achieved in three painless steps! You will need some supplies before we can begin! - Base color; I used an unnamed green Color Club.- Black striper/liner; I used Black Sketch by Milani. - White...

Emily de Molly – Devotion & Sweet As

 I was so excited when I opened my letter box and found these super gorgeous pretties. Emily de Molly polishes are really what got me inspired to make my own. Out of all my Aussie Indie’s I have the most of Emily de Molly’s. Hayley is the gorgeous lady behind this brand and she is simply amazing and just the nicest person. I hope my nubbins can do her polishes justice.  First...

OPI Go On Green!

Hello all; today I have a swatch of OPI Go On Green!, a polish I received in Mel of Nail & Polish‘s giveaway.  Go On Green! is a foamy blue-green polish with a green shimmer throughout. It’s very sheer so I tried different layering combinations to see what worked best; I used one coat of A England Camelot as my black base and two coats of Illamasqua Scorch as my white. At...

Shades Of Phoenix – Athena

Now before I start this post, I’ve had some casualties. My nails have been severely nubbinized! I’ve had a few breaks that I’ve been nursing for a couple of weeks with up to 4 tea bag patches. I just couldn’t keep them anymore. So I have super short nails. That hasn’t stopped me from swatching some pretties – I hope you like them! When I first had the chop of...

ORLY Risque Encounter Swatch & Review

ORLY is releasing their new limited edition Secret Society collection in August. The colours in this one are mainly comprised of metallic shimmers and glitters, which are perfect for winter. Today I’m showing you Risque Encounter, a red creme. I would describe this is a tomato red. It has a slightly jelly-ish formula, so while it covered perfectly in 2 smooth coats, it dried to a really shiny...

MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 Review

As I’m sure you know, my skin isn’t the best. With that in mind, I feel that it’s important to be using a concealer that I really love and I have made no secret of the fact that I absolutely love the MAC Studio Finish Concealer. I featured it in my April Favourites, as well as my recent collective MAC haul, and I just can’t say good things enough about...

Leopard Print Skittlete

I’m not a huge animal print fan but wanted to try my hand at Leopard nail art. I was surprised at how easy it is and while mine are still far from perfect they look still pretty good. I needed to do more C shapes instead of lines but I’ve learnt for next time . The gold glitter is China Glaze I’m Not Lion, if you don’t own this, you should, it’s a great versatile polish....

Aussie Nails Monday- Music!

One of my favourite things about Aussie Nails Monday is that we can tailor the themes to suit who we are, and this weeks theme, Music, is a perfect example of that! Music is a fiddly theme, so I went with a band I’ve listened to since I was a teenager… Misfits! I decided to directly copy their famous logo, and it was a lot trickier than it looked! I used 2 coats of Ulta3′s Black...

Glam Polish ‘Ahhhh… Aliens!!!’

Hello peeps, The third polish that I have to share with you from the June ‘What’s In-Die Box’ is by Glam Polish and it’s called ‘Ahhhh… Aliens!!!’ The polish went on the nail smoothly and, to my surprise, even the glitters went down quite smoothly.’Ahhhh… Aliens!!!’ has tiny white, neon green and purple specks, small white and purple hex medium...

An Amorous Disposition

Hey guys! Tonight I have another new Aussie indie label to introduce you to, Arcane, by Bec who most of you will know from her blog Nail Gun XS. Here’s a fun fact for you, when I was coming up with the name of my own polish label Arcane was actually in my top 3 choices, luckily for Bec I chose to go with Sayuri I still find it intriguing that we both thought of the same name when it’s...
