Sand Storm

 I am so picky when it comes to nudes, I look them a bright and really shiny but subtle at the same time so I think this one does the job. It's LA Colors 'Sand Storm' and I applied two coats. It was super easy to apply because the formula is so nice, not too thick and not too thin (: I decided to add Barry M Crackle 'Black Magic' because in my personal opinion black shatter looks best on nudes; pink is second. I went to Rebel Sports today and the guy who served me said my nails looked cool haha oooh yeeaaah and he was mighty fine

Leopard Meets Glamour

The last (and first) time I tried the leopard konad stamp, I used pink as the base and brown for the pattern and it was hardly visible so this time I decided to use black to be safe. The base colour is Color Club 'Wild Orchid' which is a gorgeous dark grey/silver. The nail plate is Konad m57, I used LA Colors 'Black Velvet' for the stamp and then it looked a bit dull so using a dotting tool, I added some silver glitter which completed my nails and I love it (: I'm still trying to perfect stamping because I'm really un-co so I end up stamping everything crooked lol practice makes perfect.
I introduced my brothers girlfriend to stamping and she was amazed. Here are our matching nails (:

Brekkie


Greeeeeen is so pretty. This is China Glaze 'Watermelon Rind', a very subtle glitter. I ate some watermelon for breakfast this morning hence why I'm wearing it haha this is three coats which obviously takes longer than a one or two coater but it is so worth is because in the sun, this baby shines (:

Daisy Chain Nails



Another beautiful day in Auckland (: There are about a million daisies in our backyard so I thought I'd stamp on my already colourful nails with some white and yellow daisies. I used Konad Image Plate m21 with Sally Hansen 'White On' and Klean Colour 'Neon Yellow'. It's not quite clear in the photos because of how bright the sun is, but I'm not complaining (:






Shine on meeee


So I couldn't decide which colour to paint my nails and 'eenie meenie minie mo' didn't help so in the end I decided to paint my nails all three colours (: All three colours are Kleancolor: Pastel Purple, Neon Aqua and Barbie Pink. The sun is blazing outside so I wanted bright pretty colours. I don't care if the colours don't match, it puts a smile on my face (: It's two coats of each and they are the easiest polishes to apply with absolutely no mess. Kleancolor is super cheap so I have tonnes of their bottles :D

Holla


Forget glitters, shatter, chrome and any other cool nail polishes, holographics will always be my favourite :D Everything about them is stunning, so why not get these beauties back? This is a subtle holo, 'Wild At Heart' by Color Club. I absolutely love it, it's so shimmery and depending on the light, it either shimmers blue or pink/orange. This was super easy to apply and it only needed one coat (like most other holographics). And now I'm in the mood to buy more holographics with the $25.00 I won from scratchies hahaha yay

Welcome home Webb Ellis

These are my last 'RWC2011' inspired nails, well at least for another 4 years. It started chipping today and I've had it on for 3days which I think is pretty good. It's my little way of showing my support for the almighty ALL BLACKS (who won the world cup title YAY the celebrations were spectacular). This is like a half lightning bolt/half zig zag haha it didn't turn out as expected. I used LA Colors 'Black Velvet', Color Club 'Wild Orchid, Sally Hansen 'White On' and a silver glitter pen on top of Wild Orchid because I love glitter (:

Festive Spirit


Tonight is the Rugby World Cup Bronze Final, Australia vs. Wales. I usually paint my nails the same colours as the team I would like to see win but because tonights game is between two awesome teams, I decided to be mutual but I think I am leaning a wee bit more towards the Aussies hhhmmm so hard :/ I wish both teams the best of luck! Right hand: Kleancolor 'Neon Yellow' base and Rubi 'Emerald City' dots. Left hand: Sally Hansen 'Hearts on Fire' base and 'White On' dots. Yellow and Green for the Aussies; Red and white for the Welsh.


 Oh and look what arrived in the mail today! Yay a few colours from the Untamed Luxury Collection by Color Club. Also ordered more but they haven't arrived yet which worries me . . .
From left to right: Positively Posh, Soft as Cashmere, Wild Orchid, Red Velvet, Ready to Royal and Covered in Diamonds

Glitter Bomb

I was going to put gold shatter over Westside Warrior but instead I decided to do a glitter gradient because I just love glitter, even if other people say it's ugly. I used two coats of LA Colors - Rainbow Glitter and one coat of Kleancolor - Chunky Holo Purple (my all time favourite polish). I didn't like the glossy finish hence why I mattified it (I use Rimmel Matte Topcoat). Also, Chunky Holo looks amazing when mattified but because I put a coat of Rainbow Colours after Chunky Holo, you can't really see the matte effect of Chunky Holo. The colour of Westside Warrior went a bit pale when mattified but I don't really care. Camera quality is horrible because I had to use my phone, woopsie (:

Kaka Green Beauty

I've been searching for a "kaka green" polish for so long because I just love typical ugly colours (such as mustard yellow lol). So I finally found one: It's China Glaze - Westside Warrior and I love it. One coat is okay but if you want it completely opaque then 2coats is best- which is what I used in the photo. Excuse my bad photography, I'm saving up to buy a pro camera :D I finished it off with OPI Start-to-Finish topcoat but because I love matte, I will probably mattify it soon (:
