My late Christmas Manicure!

Hi guys! So I was away with my family on Christmas and haven't had the chance to post my Christmas Manicure. I actually did this same manicure last year and loved it, so I thought I'd try it out again. I used a base of China Glaze Poinsetta from last years Christmas Collection and then Tinsel Town sponged onto the tips.

I also wanted to remind you guys about my blog sale where I'm selling HEAPS of polishes, including some of my absolute favourites and HTFs to make it easier when I move states next month !

OPI The Man With The Golden Gun 18k Gold Topcoat

Hi guys! Today I'm showing you OPI's The Man With The Golden Gun. This was released as part of the Skyfall collection but as an extra sort of lol. This topcoat is made with real 18k gold and as a result has a much higher price point than regular OPI polishes. In the US it retails for $30 USD but I'm not sure about Australia and other countries. I got mine on eBay.
It comes in an opaque gold bottle which is interestig. But unfortunately this polish is pretty "sheer" meaning the gold flakes are sparse. I did a 'gradient' type manicure but it took about 4-5 coats to get this effect but it is still sparse. I used it over OPI Yogata Get This Blue.

Purple & Aqua Gradient Manicure

Hi guys, today I was playing with some makeup and did an aqua and purple makeup look and thought I'd do something along that theme on my nails! 

I did a gradient using Color Clubs BlueMing and Disco Dress (which is purple despite how it looks in these photos!)

Eyes: Sugar Pill Poison Plum & Mochi

Lips: OCC Lip Tar in Belladonna

Glitter Gradient: Candy Lacquer Black Ice & Zoya Sooki

Hi guys, today I'm showing you another Candy Lacquer polish! 

I thought I'd play with this one a bit, and I really like the result. I used a base of Zoya Sooki which looks a little too orange in this photo. I then used Candy Lacquer Black Ice and did a glittter gradient. If you're going to try this I'd do a black polish tip first, otherwise you'll end up with your nails looking really chunky like mine with too many coats of Black Ice lol

 PLEASE EXCUSE THE CRAPPY CELLPHONE PICTURE - CAMERA IS CURRENTLY ON THE FRITZ.

Glitter Gradient: OPI Crown Me Already & China Glaze For Audrey

Hi guys! So as you guys know, China Glaze For Audrey is one of my favourite polishes, so today I decided to rock it with a silver glitter gradient using OPI Crown Me Already.

I've seen this combo done before and it's been on my to-do list for ages and I'm so glad I did it! This is one of my faviourite manicures I've done in a while!

OPI Mermaid's Tears & What's With The Cattitude Gradient

Hi guys, so today I did a gradient using OPI mermaid's tears and what's with the cattitude. Unfortunately this turned out a lot more subtle than I had hoped, but anyway..

The first picture really washes it out, it just looks all one colour..

(Please excuse the wound on my index finger lol)

Here you can see the actual gradient a little better

Zoya Gradient Feat. Zuza, Charla & Opal

Hi guys, sorry for being MIA for a bit, I've been really busy at the moment and haven't been changing my manicures. I've been wearing this one for five days and only have one chip on my right thumb.

For the base I used Zoya Zuza from their new Surf collection and then sponged Zoya Charla on my tips. I then added a coat of Opal to blend it all together a bit more and give it some more bling lol

Hope all you guys are doing well. Hopefully I'll have another post soon as I have so many new goodies to show you, but I have a lot in this week and since this mani is really holding up and I don't have much spare time I'll probably have this on for a bit longer.

Thanks for Reading!

Dusty Purple Gradient with Color Club Shabby Drab & Zoya Neeka

Hi guys, so I've been on a bit of a gradient kick lately but I thought I'd take a break from the glitter gradients I tend to do a lot, see three here that I posted about recently

China Glaze Poinsetta & Tinsel Town,

OPI Mod About You & Essie Set In Stone

China Glaze Bahemian Escape & Lorelei's Tiara

Anyway, Since I still was feeeling the gradient trend I decided to do a colour gradient instead.

I used two coats of Color Club Shabby Drab (3 on some fingers) and then a cosmetic sponge to place Neeka at the tips. I'm really loving this mani!

Happy Holidays! Feat. China Glaze Poinsetta & Tinsel Town

Merry Christmas guys! Here in Aus it's about 11.30pm on Christmas Eve and I thought I'd share with you the mani I sported today! I usually don't like the whole, match your mani to the season sorta thing, but this is quite festive!

I used two China Glaze polishes from the 2011 Let It Snow Christmas Collection: Poinsetta & Tinsel Town. I used one coat of Poinsetta (amazzzzzing application) but Because I was doing a gradient I didn't worry about VNL, I would use two coats otherwise & then used cosmetic sponge wedge to sponge on tinsel town, finishing with a topcoat and viola, a chrissy mani, I actually love it!
