Zoya Logan Swatch & Comparison AND 18k Gold Flake Topcoat

Hi guys! Today I'm showing you Zoya Logan from the 2012 Ornate Holiday collection. Logan is a dark green with golden sheen which is quite similar to Ivanka. I used two coats for full coverage which I thought was impressive as other Zoyas with a similar finish always seem to need three +.


Top: Ivanka. Bottom: Logan

I then decided to layer the Zoya 18k gold topcoat over it as I didn't think it would be as good over the plain black andwhite that came with the kit.

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.

Revisiting Orly Fowl Play

Hi guys! Today I decided to revisit Fowl Play by Orly. Fowl Play is a dark deep purpley plum jelly base packed with green/gold/orange flakies and bright blue microglitter. It came out in a fall collection by Orly maybe two years ago? called Birds of A Feather. I use two coats of Fowl Play which is great for a Jelly formula!

Flakie Layering! With NFU-OH #520 & #50

Hi guys! I recently posted about Crush Cosmetics now carrying Nfu Oh Polishes. While they don't have the whole range they do have some of the favourites inclusing Nfu Oh #51 which I paid ebay prices for before Crush started carrying the line. 


So I picked up a couple of them! This is Nfu Oh #520 from their creme collection. It's a medium blue toned purple. A little on the thick side and prone to streaking unless you get the exact right amount on the brush. It's a bit of a pain to apply but I'm going to try adding thinner before I decide I don't like the formula.


I then decided to layer #50 over it. #50 is a blue/green shift flakie topcoat in a sheer pink base.


Thanks for Reading!

Nfu-Oh #52!! Glossy & Matte

Hi guys, today I'm showing you one of my alltime favourite polishes!
NFU-OH 52!
Now I've shown this before, but these pictures are a bit better, unfortunately the beauty of 52 cannot be captured on camera! It's a blue blurple jelly base packed with blue green duchrome flakies!




 I also tried it with a matte topcoat, but I like it better glossy.



I layered one coat of Nfu Oh 52 over 3 coats of Nubar Blueberry. I fully intended to swatch this for you, but I had planned on waiting till the morning to take pictures, but somehow, cleaning my makeup brushes managed to make weird cloudy marks all over it which wouldn't come off, so on went 52 lol.

However, I did take this picture holding my dogs hand? why? because I'm weird lol

OPI Done Out In Deco & CND Sugar Sparkle

Hi guys!
So today I'm wearing OPI Done Out In Deco, it's a dusty lavender colour, which is showing a bit too bright in the pictures. It applied beautifully in two even coats. I then applied two coats of CND Sugar Sparkle an irridecent flakie polish!

Nfu-Oh #49

Hi guys, so today I'm wearing Nfu-Oh 49 over Lincoln Park After Dark. While this is a gorgeous polish I think you can achieve a reeeeeally similar effect with Essie Shine of the times or Nubar 2010. 49 is a bunch of flakies in a pretty much clear base, so put it over a dark colour to make it pop.
Regardless, gorgeous flakie goodness, enjoy!

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!

Nubar Fire Sparkle Glossy & Matte (& Meet Me)

Hi guys, this is Nubar Fire Sparkle! It's got an awesome formula, opaque in two coats but fairly painful to remove because the glitter is soo tiny it gets all over your skin and cotton balls don't pick it up well -_- (Note to self: ALWAYS use the foil method with glitter)



Mattified & Meet Me after the jump!

Quick Essie Luxeffects Collection Swatches & Review

Hi guys, I know this is really belated, but I have really super quick swatches of the Essie Luxeffects collection. I'm sorry I haven't had time to swatch on my hands, but I thought I'd show you anyway aha. I love this collection mainly because it's so unlike Essie! Essie are so bland to me, so many pinks, so many beige's, so many browns *yawns* but this is a really fun collection. Props to Essie, They did a REALLY great job with this collection!

L-R: As Gold As It Gets, Shine of The Times, A Cut Above, Set In Stone, Pure Pearlfection
