Aussie Nails Monday - Animals

Hey all!

Hope you all had a great weekend!  Mine was spent celebrating, and then recovering from, my 40th birthday.  Ugh 40.. I much preferred when my age had a 3 at the front  lol

My nails today are part of the Aussie Nails Monday challenge.. I only just joined up, and just in time, as the theme is animals and I have always wanted to try a leopard print.  For my first try at this I am more than happy with how they turned out!  Although next time I may use a more contrasting colour for the 'dots'.

For the base colour I used Sinful Colors Cinderella.. not too impressed with this polish, even with 3 coats I still have VNL.  The shimmer is quite pretty though, so maybe I will try layering it.   For the 'dots' I used a dotting tool and Sally Hansens Celeb City.  The for around the dots Sinful Colors Black On Black, which is the only black I use.  I love this, and will definitely be doing it again!   

Have you ever tried a leapord print mani?

Panda nails & early Pink Wednesday

Hey all!

I'm so excited for today!  My hubby and I are big gamers, and today the World of Warcraft expansion, Mist of Pandaria, is being released.  We get to be big bouncy pandas!  Yay!

So in honour of that, today I have panda nails.  This is the first time I have ever attempted anything like this, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, wonky eyes and all.  ;)

 I used a video tutorial I found on YouTube, you can view it here.

I did the pandas using Ulta3's Lily White, Sinfuls Black on Black, and dotting tools.  Super easy!  On my other nails are 2 coats of Ulta3's French Pink, and 2 coats of Revlons Popular.  I plan on leaving this mani on for long as possible, so these are also my Pink Wednesday nails.

Ozotic 505 - pics galore!

Hi all!  Sorry it's been a few days between posts, been kinda busy here.  The sun has finally been shining, it's so nice to be able to hang outside!  Bought hubby a BBQ for Fathers Day so he has spent most nights bbq'ing which makes him very happy.  lol

I'm happy to report my polish collection finally has a home!  It's just temporary for now, but I'm very happy with it.

Took me the whole day to do it, and I had to send all the books that were in it to the shed.  :/

The next weekend I picked up these at a garage sale..

$10 for 4, plus they already have the hardware attached to hang from the wall.  Yay!

Today I have swatches of the most gorgeous polish that has ever existed.  Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration, but it is still one amazing polish!  Ozotic 505.  Multichrome gorgeousness.  Is also a dupe for Sally Hansen Prisms Turquoise Opal, which is a polish I have been after for a looooong time, so finally have my fix!  :)

Sorry for so many pics, but trying to capture all the colours of this amazing polish can be quite impossible.

 Its goes from blue, green, teal, purple, and I'm sure I even saw a deep burgundy in there somewhere.   This is one coat of Sinfuls Black on Black, covered with 2 coats of Ozotic 505.

I can't stop looking at my nails!  :)
