Hey guys! Today I have something super exciting for you (well I thought it was super exciting), full swatches and a review of the Fifty Shades of Grey collection by OPI! This collection is hot off the shelves, released this month to promote the upcoming movie that is due for release on 14th February, 2015, so I just HAD to get my pretty little polished hands on it! I was mildly disappointed that this collection was not literally fifty shades of grey, but instead just three greys, a silver, a glitter and a red. The six part collection is available in a mini set, which I purchased from Farmers for $39.99; a steal compared to buying six full-sized bottles which would set you back about $120 here in New Zealand. So, take a look at my swatches and read on for my thoughts on each shade, and which are my faves!
Hello again! This is my last Christmas design, I promise, but I just got my hands on a new bottle of white polish and thought I'd try out this candycane watermarble, inspired by @mucking_fusser on Instagram. This is probably my most successful watermarble to date, but I've still got some work to do, as you can see on my failure of a ring finger...But like anything, practice makes perfect, so don't give up before you've even started! With that in mind, check out my tutorial below to see how to get this sweet look for yourself :)
Hey everyone! I have yet another Christmas design for you all, but something much simpler today. This red and white present design is super easy, and I think the little Santa is just oh-so-cute! I'm not 100% happy with the execution of this mani, but I blame my white polish which is well overdue for a replacement! As always, read on for my tutorial!
Hey guys! I've got another Christmas nail art tutorial for you all, this time with a white winter Christmas feel. Sadly, here in New Zealand it doesn't snow at Christmas time but I can pretend for a little bit while looking at this layered snowflake design, totally stolen from @christabellnails - you can see her YouTube tutorial here. You'll need a sheer or jelly polish for this design; OPI's Sheer Tints work perfectly for this. Read on for my tutorial!
Hey everyone! I'm back with another Christmas design, this time much more Christmassy! In this design I've used two polishes from the new OPI Gwen Stefani Holiday Collection - this pretty gold shimmer 'Rollin' In Cashmere' and this absolutely stunning glitter 'Snow Globetrotter' that I'm holding in the pic. Read on for my tutorial!
It's beginning to look a lot like...Christmas!!! I work in retail so actually it's been Christmas since October, but I thought that since today is December 1st, I could officially start on my Christmas nail art! I've got a few designs lined up, but I'm starting with this simple mani that doesn't immediately scream 'CHRISTMAS' to ease you all into it :) I think this look works perfectly for any Christmas party or work function where you want to keep it simple, yet classy. This design is inspired by @thesammersaurus, and you can check out her instagram here. As always, read on for my tutorial!
