Zoya Fleck Effect Collection Swatches & Review 2012 (PIC HEAVY)

Hi guys, so I'm still feeling really sick, so when I got home from work today after starting at 7am I climbed into bed for a nap, when not even 10 minutes later my sister comes in and asks "is zoya colour for you?" YAY! I recieved my order of nine new zoyas! So I hauled myself out of my warm pillow fort because I just HAD to swatch them! So here you are, swatches of the Fleck Effect Collection by Zoya over various colours :)

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!

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

Battle of the Lemon Scented Cuticle Creams: LUSH Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter VS. Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

Hi guys! Since i've been camping for the last few days and haven't done any NOTD's I thought I'd do a bit of a comparison for you, between LUSH Lemony Flutter & Burt's Bees Cuticle Cream.

Check out my in depth review after the jump!

Jade Is The New Black w/ Essie Set In Stone MATTE

Hi guys, quick post today! Today I'm wearing OPI Jade is The New Black with one coat of Essie Set In Stone from the luxeffects collection, and then a layer of China Glaze matte magic.

It was super sunny today so the lighting sort of washed out Jade is the New Black, as it's a few shades darker than my pics.

Anyway, enjoy!

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!

Audrey in a Glass Slipper

Hi guys, I'm LOVING my current NOTD & It's very flattering on my nubbins!

I used one coat of an ole favourite, China Glaze For Audrey and then a coat of Sally Hansen Glass Slipper which is mini silverish flakes in a clear base (can you say I LOVE)
