*cough sniffle splutter*

Don't get too close, i'm sick! My son sure loves to share his school germs. ;)

 Not too sick that I couldn't paint my nails though.. lol   Although I don't think I did a very good job.. it seems a bit thin and streaky.  It looks better in real life than it does in the pic.. it wasn't until I looked at the pic that I realized how bad it was!  lol  Oh well, tomorrow I plan on adding some stamps and black tips, so that should hide it all. ;)

The colour is China Glaze's Secret Periwinkle. I love love love the colour, but I found the polish to be quite thin.. honestly I think I could of gone for 3 coats.  For top coat I used OPI's RapiDry.   First time I have tried it, and I quite like it.  Although since the bottle I have was a teeny tiny sample one the brush was teeny tiny too!

 Will post more pics tomorrow... have a good night all!

My first swatch!

I just had to share this.. I tried my new Scandalous by Revlon nail polish today, and omg!  I luuurrve it!   A lovely black base with pretty pretty purple sparklies through it!   This first pic is Scandalous with 3 coats.. I probably could of gotten away with 2 coats but I felt it needed the 3rd to even it out.. although that is more the fault of my nail polish applying skills (or lack of lol) than the actual polish itself.  Also one coat of Sally Hansen topcoat.

Not the best photo, I apologize, my camera did not want to behave today. I decided to add a black tip, so today is a day of firsts!  My first swatch, and my first tape mani!  yay!  :)

I used Essence Galactic Black for the tips.  This is the first time I have used it, and I love it!  A deep black with very subtle shimmer through it.  No topcoat, but only because I was in a rush the get the photos while the sun was out for 2 minutes.  lol   I cant wait to try this mani again, but with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte on the tips.. which i'm hoping will arrive soon!

Bargain!!

I just could not walk past these today.. i found them at my local Woolworths store for only $1.20 each!  Now, I'm not to sure about the yellow.. it's not a colour that i would usually wear.. maybe on my toes?  If not, it will be great for stamping and dots!  yay!

Brand is NYC Color and the colours are Luv Lime, Femme Fatale, Cabernet and Banana Split.

My latest obsession...

is nail polish.  Well, its always been something i loved, but in the past month or so my obsession has definitely kicked itself up a notch!  I haven't always had nails, I used to be an extreme nail biter.   But I have managed to keep them long now for quite a few months, so I'm hoping i will be able to keep them that way.  To reward myself i have been splurging on a few nail polishes online.. it's hard to find what I want here in Australia, so yay for eBay!  ;)

I will share a pic of the 2 I picked up today... actually my hubby picked them out for me and i must say I am very impressed with his choices. They are both Revlon. The blue is 'Radiant' and is a clear base with blue, silver and green sparkles. The purple is 'Scandalous' and is a black base with big purple sparklies through it.

So many sparklies! Do love!
