A Royal Multichrome.

I never understood the hype that Revlon Royal held. In photo's just wasn't my thing, but I was in Priceline (Aussie verison of Sally's) the other day and I saw it and thought why not! And oh my god, do I love it. It's super squishy and lovely. As as I type, I realise this I should have taken photos of it by itself. However I SLAPPED on some Ozotic 506 aka Reef. Ahh Ozotic multichromes. I am in love you. I want to take you out to dinner, give you my jacket when you are cold and take you home and have my way with you. LETS LOOK!

 These photos were taken in the sun. I feel that 506 gives a gorgeous purple shimmer to Royal

 And then you angle your nails and see a golden red, in true Ozotic style.

The next few photos were taken in the shade (or under my pergola).

Seriously look at that shift. AWW MY GOD! I love this combination. I am getting bored of layering multichromes over black, maybe because my black polishes are crap, so this is nice little change for me!

Ozotic and Hits Mish Mash

Well hello. I bought a few Ozotics the other day and in anticipation of it's arrival I decided to try my own Mish Mash with Ozotic 505 aka Eclipse and HITS Hefesto. Can I just say how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hefesto, but it's such a teeny tiny bottle and the sun hasn't been out much that this is only the third time I've worn it. That's strange for a gem like this. This what Ozotic 532 would look like.

  

I shouldn't have wore black underwear. For some reason I can't handle black polish. It's so messy. I use Orly Galaxy. I think next time I will use OPI Road House Blues or OPI Ink. I need to get a good black  creme polish. I hear a-england's Camelot is gold!

Soundwave and Mermaids Scales.

Hey guys, this is going to be big post today because I am so bored and want to make this as long as possible to pass my boredom.

On Friday I went to Soundwave Festival. For those you who don't know, Soundwave is a giant metal, rock and punk festival that happens every year in all the major cities of Oz. I love it. I go every year. It's always heaps of fun and a great way to find out about awesome international bands. And I found a gem this year. They are called Kverlertak, a Norwegian band. They are a cool mix of rock and roll, punk and black metal. They really wail. They sing in Norwegian as well so I have no idea what they are saying, but apparently they sing lots about the Norse gods. I saw ton of other bands too: A Day To Remember, always good, letlive, Four Year Strong, Your Demise, Limp Bizikit who were surprisingly good, and System of a Down. I cannot tell you how amazing SOAD are as a live band. They're vocals are insane. It was great day and to mark it special I did a little skittle mani. Unfortunately I only took shitty quality photos of it, so I am sorry for that but I'm sure you get the idea.

I used nine colours and mixed colours for two nails (The green ones because I do't have much green). I also toped it off with Lynnderella Connect the Dots. T'was great, when I put my hand in the air in the mosh, the people behind me would get a face full of colour!


Anywho, onto the real reason I have this blog. I've had this idea for a while now. Ever since I saw Glitta Gloves post, I have wanted to recreate it somehow.  This is one coat of Orly Lucky Duck followed by a coat of Color Club Holiday Splendor and a coat of Kleancolor Chucky Holo Bluebell.

The Chucky Holo flakies are very subtle in these photo but they were more predominate IRL. And unfortunately, we have't had a sunny day since Friday so I wasn't able to take photos with the holo goodness that Holiday Splendor provides.

But it's nice a glow-y, right!?

I love how it has sort of a golden glow. To me, this manicure reminds me of a sunset reflecting on the waters of a tropical island.

Am I right? Aww man I so wanna go to Bora Bora now!

My Favourite Red.

This ladies and well... ladies; because what gentlemans do we know that is so obsessed with nail polish to read blogs about it, am I right? This is my all time favourite red. I didn't think anything could top OPI From A to Zurich but Zoya Sooki did, and by far! I am a HUGE fan of red. I have more red lipstick than anyone and will swear to anyone to contradict that they are all different. So let me show you...

This is Zoya Sooki, my new best friend. I've her almost 4 time now and I've only had her for about a month.

 I'm not sure what happened to these photos here because they make the nail polish look greasy and almost rough. I assure you that this polish is smooth and glossy.

Now that's better! This colour is more accurate too. It's so beautiful. I feel classy and sexy with this on. It's definitely a Marilyn Monroe red. I just love it.

This was 3 coats of Sooki, coverage was great but I knew I was taking photos and I could see the slightest VNL so I added a 3rd coat. I just love this polish, come to think of it I love that whole Zoya Summertime 2011 collection. Some very nice cremes in that collection.

The Dotting Tool.

Sarah from Chalkboard Nails has a fabulous competition at the moment. To enter you have to produce nail art using the dotting tool. Now I don't have a dotting tool yet, so I used a trusty bobby pin.

The colours I used are, from left to right, Zoya Sooki, China Glaze Peachy Keen, China Glaze Lemon Fizz, Orly Lucky Duck, Zoya Breezi and OPI Alpine Snow as the white. I pretty much started with a my basecoat of CND Stickey then dotted the colour onto my nails. I built up the polish by alternating the coloured dots and the white dots, I then added a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust to give it a bit of sparkle-sparkle.

I am not super happy with this because it didn't look as layered as I wanted, for example my pointer looks like I've painted on Peachy Keen from the brush and then added white dots, which I didn't. But I still like it. It's a different approach to the skittle mani. It really makes me want to go out and get a dotting tool. When I have monies that is.

FINALLY...

I have Orly Fowl Play on my nails. Unfortunately the sides of my middle nail kees breaking! Boohoo! I have to say I am quite proud of myself. My nails have never been healthier or longer, even though they newbie nub, I quite like them. Back to Fowl Play. This is THIRD time I have bought this polish. first two times, it didn't arrive and I got refunded. How frustrating right?!? Well i have this pretty on my nails FINALLY!

 Oh my god, there is just so much going on here. Silver micro glitter with bue micro flakes and orange to green colour shifting flakies all in a dark purple jelly base. What a polish! Honestly Orly, you guys are my hero.

 You can see the colour shift in these photos here. It's beautiful.

I have been dying for this colour for over two months, and I was starting to think I'd never get it. So I am super hay that it is here. I feel like OPI and China Glaze need to take a leaf out of Orly's book and make some more combination polishes like this. I'm a little sick of the generic glitters ofter being severely disappointed by the Muppet collection glitter. And I know what you are thinking, Orly is a big fat dupe for OPI Merry Midnight. But was release 2 years ago and it's HTF, as with all the good OPI's. I want the good stuff now!

The Best Green I Own.

So before we start I have to tell you. I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday. OMG, that was NOT fun. I went to the hospital; they put me under, cut me open and put 4 teeth out. It's so uncomfortable now. I just want a burger now, and I won't able to eat solids for a few weeks now. Booohoo. Alright I'll stop complaining.

I have been in LOVE with this nail polish since I first saw it. I finally bought it, it finally came and now I am finally wearing it. Well, actually, this is the third time in the last week I've worn it. Yes, that is how much I love it. I present to you... Holiday Splendor by Colour Club. This is also the only Colour Club I own. I need to get more.

This is three coats of HS. You can get away with two coats but there is a little VNL. It's so beautiful though. A jade green jelly with PACKED with holographic glitter. What stunner.

These photo are taken inside, and they are lot bluer than the polish actually is. But the next photo are taken out side and really show of the green of the jelly.

Honestly, I think this one of my favourite nail polishes that I own. It's so sparkly without being too over the top, I thank the jelly base for that. I wish the whole Beyond the Mistletoe collection would have a colourful jelly base and not just coloured glitter with holo bits. This makes for a much more interesting polish, I believe anyway. Do have to say that I've had to put a lot of thinner in this polish. It is very thick. No biggie though. The colours of the polish really make up for it.
