Do you like glittery, shade shifting duochomes? Because I certainly do! Anochi Kai is a purple jelly, consisting of a glorious duochrome effect of purple/pink and gold. It is really really stunning. It is a polish that needs building, so don't expect your first coat to give you any indication of its true beauty.</div>

Never fear though, despite my lengthy break I have PLENTY of polish to show for it. First things first, is to finish what I was discussing before Christmas which was the Zoya collection. Aurora is, what I gather one of the Zoya polishes which really brought peoples attention to their Ornate collection. And for good reason too:<br>

Unfortunately, Blaze is really difficult to photographic and the photo's you see below really doesn't do the polish much justice. When looking at it on your nails, you can see intense sparkle and shine from the glitter throughout the jelly-like base. 95% opaque in one coat, what you see below is two coats with a top coat :) The formula applies perfectly. Argh, why has it taken me so long to buy Zoya's?!?! I love them.<br />

I think that besides the holographic effect within Blaze, it is actually a more vampy shade of red than the ever-so-sparkly Ruby Pumps. I would say that if you love Ruby Pumps, you'll love this too - because it has the glittery formula, it has the holographic but it also has this edginess. It's more of a blood red, a Halloween glamour red - rather than a happy Christmas red. :) What do you think?

The collection is full of holographic glitters and sparkles, how could anyone resist? I received my order a number of weeks ago, so today was an exciting day when I began to apply my first ever Zoya polish! I'll be posting about each polish individually, starting with Storm. <br />
<br />

I tell you what, this polish took me by surprise. It already looked beautiful, as you can see above - a black glittery multicolour holographic... It has a beautiful shine and the application is amazingly smooth. This is only two coats with a top coat! I was already impressed before, until I caught a glimpse of it under direct lighting - to see it shining and reflecting all the various colours. <br />
<br />

The colour shifting makes the holographic glitter-particles stand out. It's crazy.... Stunning. But crazy. This image gives you more of an idea on how the holographic effect works within the formula. You can see the shifts of orange, blue, purple, gold and green. I don't own or know of any polish quite like it!

I do, awhile back I purchased the Real Techniques brushes starter set and have become a huge fan. I definitely plan on buying more from the range, but in the meantime - I needed a proper place to keep them. The velcro pack they come with, doesn't really keep them secure so with influence from Pinterest, I decided to make my own storage!<br />
<br />
I began on the hunt for a decent small vase, and found two at the local market. They were the perfect size, roughly around 15cm tall. The glass is a good quality, nice and clear - the reason I say this is because you can often find 'cheap' vases, glasses etc which have a thin, smokey/foggy glass that never seems to look polished no matter how much you clean it. Thankfully this wasn't the case, and they were only $3 each! I bought one for eyes and the other one for face. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBDZkTDT6w9VWt48PUltEUWFK8upLJNG99hvIQnSxvJrKyLq3V6m3laKDY6Xd_XyglZfPI23DXetZ7VdO6Rnd8o4FmwYVN7XfwrzGmloBDzLH1LuShORVxrMSswy8voQ7Y_98CO1JvXQ/s1600/glass.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBDZkTDT6w9VWt48PUltEUWFK8upLJNG99hvIQnSxvJrKyLq3V6m3laKDY6Xd_XyglZfPI23DXetZ7VdO6Rnd8o4FmwYVN7XfwrzGmloBDzLH1LuShORVxrMSswy8voQ7Y_98CO1JvXQ/s400/glass.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Average photo, I know. But as you can see - just an ordinary vase. Mason jars are popular to use too, but it depends on the type of decoration you wish to use. In my case, mason jars weren't really going to work... You'll see why soon. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRENr4Mv2Vck8pKqOajCmpw-aKdr8wxrP8FK9kEHFK0jhgwj19LeoUu55XHo1r9DBmxVYilInWzJHNrOGEwMrOtnWYlqwpty50Etf6s2TLymT55RXCM4tD5VKtVFbVk14Ruc0cnnuhaSs/s1600/makeupstorage1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRENr4Mv2Vck8pKqOajCmpw-aKdr8wxrP8FK9kEHFK0jhgwj19LeoUu55XHo1r9DBmxVYilInWzJHNrOGEwMrOtnWYlqwpty50Etf6s2TLymT55RXCM4tD5VKtVFbVk14Ruc0cnnuhaSs/s320/makeupstorage1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The next step, after I polished my jar/vase was to apply the lace tape which I purchased at a different market. I was kind of annoyed as I didn't realise I had paid full price! You can buy the exact same at Lincraft - or something similar online. Before I bought this, I had been looking on eBay and there are HEAPS of different types you can find. But because I wasn't sure on exactly what I wanted, I opted to buy what I could actually see. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgzo-nFNE-Wmm3EIYyP8_vdT8ydql9hXxMUeRJ9qgTgCjJ_Xxdd6zIe3dZ0_8dP8VTGp4RAYIgqUOyiSaVp98eDjBJmUs9NXPSHvzZrM9XGO_EnqX9WKKWDufJvx0F4TdS7csuf9YRcnQ/s1600/makeupstorage2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgzo-nFNE-Wmm3EIYyP8_vdT8ydql9hXxMUeRJ9qgTgCjJ_Xxdd6zIe3dZ0_8dP8VTGp4RAYIgqUOyiSaVp98eDjBJmUs9NXPSHvzZrM9XGO_EnqX9WKKWDufJvx0F4TdS7csuf9YRcnQ/s400/makeupstorage2.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>
<br />
And here is how it looks! I love the look of this, it transforms the vase from an ordinary to pretty! However this isn't the finished result, I then needed to look for glass beads for inside the vase to keep the brushes upright and separated. This isn't really a huge deal, but I wanted to add more colour and to match my bedroom - which is decorated in hot pink, light pink, white and black. I found the exactly what I was after in Pots Avenue.... They're not a beaded shape, they look more like ice cubes! The pink was $4 for a small bag and the clear was $7 for a large bag. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And this is it! A really easy way to store makeup brushes. To make it more of a feature, you can also show your off your fancy storage vase by putting a flameless tea-light candle behind it. I like this look, it has a nightclub look to it!<br />

I'd love to know what you think. Isn't Pinterest great?! lol. How do you store your makeup brushes? Would you consider making your own?Mishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08820844492767411710noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000243411461645105.post-99424865303078552012-11-21T21:58:00.004+11:002012-11-21T21:58:58.770+11:00Finally! An a-england polish!I feel like I am the last person on the planet to own an a-england polish! They're EVERYWHERE! But for good reason though, they have a wonderful variety of colours. The only downfall to that is, indecisive people like myself can't make a decision on which polish to buy first - therefore taking them about a year to decide! So what did I finally end up buying? A holographic of course :)<br />

Lady of the Lake, is a dark grape-purple holographic. It is a very cold
based shade of purple, which is great because it sets it aside from
other purple holo's out there. Application was great, LOTL is about 90% opaque in one coat, which I love. I wore this for a day, just to admire the subtle holographic effect that it has. It really is a very beautiful and classy holographic - the effect is a holographic shimmer rather than a blingy in-your-face type (which I normally love!). <br />

After a day of admiration, I stamped with Bundle Monster's 306 plate with China Glaze's 'SCI-FI' (which is a silver chrome which has a very slight purple pigment). I must say, this is probably the best stamping I have achieved so far, not one flaw!... That I can notice. Woo-hoo!<br />
<br />
Stay tuned, because there is a possibility that this is not the only a-england polish I own!!

I have to say, I do like Twilight... I've watched the movies, read the books etc etc. While I'm not obsessed with it, I do like it. But when I saw the fresh and fully equipped Essence stand in Target - I just kind of... bought everything. Does that happen to you? You buy things as if you've been hypnotized to do so? <i>ANYWAY</i>.... Today I'm going to show off only some of what I had purchased and I'll tell you why, after the images.<br />

<br />
As you can see, with each polish in the range there is an eyeshadow (well loose powder) to match. And I think that's pretty cool!! This is my first eyeshadow swatch by the way, so I hope it offers enough detail!<br />
<br />
Okay now the polish...<br />
<br />
Um. Honestly I found the formula to be thick, goopy and sticky. It just doesn't apply very smoothly, and the brush is very similar to the ones Catrice uses. However with Catrice polish, I LOVE the brush. But because of Essence's formula, I'm afraid that the brush doesn't really ensure a nice, even application. What you see in the nail polish image is three coats with a generous top coat.<br />
Looks wise, the polish is gorgeous. A black jelly with purple and turquoise glitter. I stamped the Bundle Monster Diamond Image, kind of as a joke. I wore this especially to Breaking Dawn II, because 1) it's a twilight themed polish so how could I not and 2) the vampires sparkle like diamonds in the sun haha. ahhhh anyway.<br />
<br />
The eyeshadow, it's nice but isn't fantastic. Perhaps it's because it isn't as pigmented as what I had imagined it to be. So even with this swatch, it took a little build up to reach this result. Even over Urban Decay's Primer Potion.<br />
<br />
Overall I feel a little deflated from this range now. I will swatch the others, but there are so many other polishes I am more excited about. So I'll leave it up to you - would you prefer to see the other Twilight polishes? Or should I bring out the special one's I've received from my latest international purchase? :D<br />
<br />
Edit (19th Nov, 2012): I forgot to mention the polish I used for the diamond! It was China Glaze's "Passion", which is a gold chrome. Excellent for stamping and is a great dupe for those who are on the search for China Glaze's "2030" - which is a really popular opaque gold, used for stamping. Sorry for the oversight!!

Continuing on from my previous post, Ludurana's 'Reluz' is still going strong and looks fantastic. I have received quite a number of compliments for it, it truly has become one of my all time favourite polishes. But what I have decided to do, is incorporate some stamping before it begins to chip and I sadly have to remove it. So here are the results:</div>

I used Bundle Monster plate 314, with OPI DS 'Sapphire' which is a Silver holographic. I like how subtle the stamping is, it matches the 314 floral pattern which is a swirly vine/damask kind of pattern. I don't know why but this polish/stamping combination makes me think of Princesses and Fairies! What do you think? :)</div>

It's a picture heavy post, I know - but how could I not?! So far I have counted the colour shifts to be: blue, green, pink, purple and bronze.. The application is serious perfection, like <a href="http://nailndazzle.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/ludurana-love-lots-of-pics.html" target="_blank">Emocionante</a> three coats will give you a fantastic result. I just can't put into words how beautiful Reluz is! It's all my favourite colours mixed into one hot little multichrome! And you know what? I'm going to wear it until it's chipping, because THAT'S how much I love it :) :) :)Mishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08820844492767411710noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000243411461645105.post-89744321694699436252012-11-08T18:39:00.002+11:002012-11-29T12:01:55.986+11:00*CLOSED* Giveaway: China Glaze OMG Collection & Fantasy Fire!<!--[if !mso]>

Uni semester is over, I can breathe a sigh of relief and focus on blogging again. To celebrate, I'm wearing Nfu Oh - 61! Move over GOSH 549, I've got myself a new favourite!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />This polish, is unbelievably, ridiculously shiny and holographic. To quote my friend's description, it's psychedelic. I must stress that if you have been lemming after 549 - don't even worry about it, get this one instead. Of course the 549 is good, but it is rare which obviously affects the price. So save your money from people profiteering on ebay and consider this one instead! I bought my bottle of 61 from <a href="https://www.fabuloustreet.com/">fabuloustreet</a> and I wear it with the Aqua Base, which they sell also (The Aqua Base is recommended to be worn under their holographic polishes).<br />
<br />
On the topic of the Aqua Base, I just wanted to discuss my thoughts about the product. I've seen other bloggers (not all, just some) say that it doesn't really make much of a difference overall to the holographic polish. I don't know why, but knowing what had been said about it I decided to order it anyway - and I'm glad that I did.<br />
<br />
I agree with other bloggers who swear by it, I actually think it makes a <u>gigantic</u> difference to the polish, so much so that I can't understand why people haven't given it more credit.<br />
<br />
It doesn't make your polish look different, I mean without it you're still going to see the holographic effect. BUT - from what I have experienced, if you apply this polish over a standard base coat or even no base coat at all, you will find that you have to use a lot of coats to even it out. It is <i>so so so so so</i> streaky, and dries unevenly and well - it just looks gross. But with the base coat, I applied my 61 with two coats and the results were lovely. So not only does it make application much more easier, but it saves a lot of polish because you don't have to build it up so much. <br />

LOL is one that actually took me awhile to get my hands on. I'm glad finally did, because it's actually one of my favourites from the range. What I did want to try though, was the Bundle Monster plate (BM19) polka dot pattern. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to stamp the image onto my nail in the opposite way. </div>
<br />
<b>Why?</b> - Because the image is really small, and my nails are kind of broad and long - the polka dots pattern probably wouldn't cover my entire nail. <br />
<br />
<b>So?</b> - Well I don't trust myself to stamp perfectly enough to create a continuation of the pattern.<br />
<br />
I was tempted to add a french tip after the stamping was completed, now I don't know about you - but I actually like it without it in this case! What do you think? <br />

Come on, the hair, the colour, the clothes... I'm a big fan! For those of you who may not be familiar with GR, it has influenced many bands which I still love to listen to.

I'll start with what I used for the ring finger first, China Glaze's Ruby Pumps with Black Konad polish and Bundle Monster: Plate 223. For the other nails, the base colour is Butter London's Lillybet's Jubilee with Konad Black polish and some red rhinestones I bought from a beauty supply.

Slowly approaching the end of uni semester, it is started to get a little crazy at uni. But I managed to take some time aside today to play with Layla's Flash Black Holo. Out of all the Layla Holographic polishes, FB was the one that I wanted the most from the collection. </div>

This is four coats of FB, the formula is kind of difficult to apply. I don't know about anyone else, but I had a few issues with bald spots towards the tip of my nails. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't buff my nails properly with the holographic file? Hmm anyway. By the fourth coat it was even and the spots were corrected.<br />
<br />
In the sun, Flash Black is stunning. The holographic is SO effective, and just beautiful. It's not really what I would call a black holographic, it's more of a gunmetal grey. In the shade, the colour is.. meh. It's boring, it's plain and looks grey - very similar to China Glaze's Stone Cold but with a green/yellow pigment. It's hard to explain - but basically, I decided that it needed to be stamped. <br />

Do you notice anything different? I've filed my nails down shorter! Why? Well as much as I long having long nails, there isn't really much point having them that long unless you're 100% happy with them. Well for me, although I prefer long nails - my nails were starting to narrow towards the tip. It's hard to explain, but basically I've shortened them so I can re-train them to grow the way I want them to :) What do you think?Mishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08820844492767411710noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000243411461645105.post-17828720881399123522012-10-06T21:03:00.000+10:002012-10-06T21:03:05.015+10:00OPI DS MagicFor someone who isn't much of a blue fan - I sure wear a lot of blue polish! DS Magic is one tricky polish to photograph. It is <i>so</i> much prettier in real life, because the duochrome is really lovely and easy to spot.<br />
<br />
But, it just refuses to show up properly on the camera! Sorry, I really did try - this was the best I could get...<br />

Can you see the tiniest bit of purple?! Well image that, but.. better. A lot better.</div>
<br />
Application wise, typical OPI Designer Series - thumbs up. The formula is kind of surprising though, because looking at the bottle you expect it to be quite glittery, but it's actually more of a frosty/foil. Admittedly I did try to do something creative with this mani, but my attempt with Lincoln Park After Dark wasn't overly great and I ended up peeling it all off while waiting to do a uni presentation. How classy of me!<br />
<br />
Anyway I promise another attempt at this one :) Mishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08820844492767411710noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000243411461645105.post-9352591327725373262012-09-29T11:13:00.000+10:002012-09-29T11:13:47.497+10:00Wild Violets - Glitter GalThis is the only Glitter Gal polish I own, that is a non-holographic polish.

I get mad, then I sulk because I have to file them all down short. And I don't enjoy having short nails, they just don't suit the shape of my fingers. A few months ago I came across a kit that Orly produces - which caters for this type of beauty injury. So if you hate filing your nails down to a length that shorter than you prefer (which is probably 99% of us) - check this out. <br>
<br>
Warning: This is not a post about nail polish! You will be exposed to images of my thumb nail without polish, or cleanup. <br>

Gross. This is my poor broken nail :( If it had tore any further along, it would have really hurt and no doubt would have started to bleed. <br>

It's bold, eye-catching and it's not to everyone's taste. Some love it, while others think it should only be used for french manicures. Well, today I have a white mani but I've put a little bit of a spin on it. After spending last Sunday at the beach and collecting some gorgeous shells, I was inspired to try and achieve a Mother of Pearl look on my nails.<br>

I must admit, I'm not really confident with gradients - but it is something I would really like to do more of. Because of the compliments I received from the <a href="http://nailndazzle.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/stamping-with-bohemian-luster-chrome.html">Luster Chrome stamping</a>, I decided to use these again and see what else they can do. <br>

They have a terrific range of makeup which include my personal favourites - Too Faced and Urban Decay. This time though, I decided to build my own palette with SMH eyeshadows!

Although I'm still undecided if I will buy the rest, I sure have enjoyed wearing the ones I have :) Just to mix things up a little, I wanted to come up with a combination that isn't really something you come across often in a nail polish. A neon flakie! <br />

<br />
Obviously, Splish Splash is a neon blue creme - with a pretty shimmer just like the others have. But I also applied two coats of China Glaze's 'Luxe and Lush', which is a clear formula with transparent/opalescent shimmers. I personally find flakie's to be really annoying to apply, I think it's because you cannot really control where the flakes are going to go. Plus these flakes are so sheer, they do tend to crumple a little.... yup, a precious little polish this one is! Finally I applied a coat of Seche Vite - which really neatened the flakes and made everything even and smooth. <br />

In case you want to see HTT without the black french.. Extremely hard to photograph, the neon would show up either a real magenta, or a really pastel pink. Hopefully these photos can give you a little more detail. <br />

I've received a few compliments for it, overall it is just a really pretty neon Barbie pink. I liked it so much that I have painted my fingernails and toes! So far the Neon Collection has been really fun, unfortunately I only have the blue left to swatch - but no doubt I'll be wearing these again. They are really<i> really</i> fun and cute!Mishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08820844492767411710noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000243411461645105.post-65855027073543877202012-09-10T11:25:00.000+10:002012-09-10T13:41:06.515+10:00Beach Cruise-r with you guessed it.. ANIMAL PRINT!!My favourite combination, fuschia pink/purple with animal print and sparkles! While Beach Cruise-r isn't exactly a 'neon' colour, it really is a vibrant colour with a slight shimmer. I wore it for a day by itself, but began to go crazy - thanks to Seche Vite shrinking my mani to give me tip wear *scowl* I decided to konad tips to cover it up. Lazy, yes, but I liked it too much to remove it!!!<br />

I have to say, it doesn't photograph well. The colour or the tips. But what I did was stamped Bundle Monster 219 onto the tips then filled the gaps between the zebra stripes with Orly Lux. Obviously the macro shot from my camera has showed every single perfections, but that is to be expected. I'm thinking of actually buying an empty nail art pen and filling it with the rest of my Lux and buying a bigger bottle to replace it (I only have the mini at the moment). That way, stamping details won't be as messy if I was to use this method again.Mishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08820844492767411710noreply@blogger.com6
