How Great Are Gradients?

I'm so glad that gradients are the in thing at the moment, better than Caviar Manicures (especially Ciate Caviar). I was feeling in the mood for some blue. 

I started with a milky/jelly white franken I made myself, but I'm sure something like OPI Don't touch my Tutu would work too. I then added a coat of Seche Vite and sponged on my white franken, then China Glaze Electric Beat, Zoya Breezi and at the tips Revlon Royal.

I went shopping with these nails, I have to say I got sooOOOOOooo many compliments about them. One girl asked if I was a nail technician after I told her I did it myself. I told her that's how easy it is, that an amateur like me can do it hahaha!

As you can see I am still having the problem with breaking on my corners. It's driving me insane! Just as one nail grows and squares off another one breaks and another until I'm forced to cull down the length on the rest. It won't ever happen to my pinkies, so they are much longer than the rest of my nails. I am currently using Sally Hanson Diamond Strength, which I feel has made a different. But maybe I'll try OPI Nail Envy, I've heard such good things about that. Anyone got any good suggestions?

NFU OH MY GOD!

Hey, so a while back I promised an NFU Oh post. This is it. 

I'll give you some background on the relationship NFU Oh and I have. I have wanted one of these polishes for a good year. I think #51 was my very first lemming. And in July last year, I went hunting for them. It turned out they were sold in a nail salon five minute from my place, Vivd Nails. My precious NFU Oh's were there the whole time! And the week I found out about Vivid Nails and they had moved to another location! GUHHH! And I tried to order online from Vivid but the shipping costs confused me it looked like I was going to be paying $30 for one polish from a company that 20 mins away from me! That's just ludicrous! Plus I couldn't find any colours I liked. I couldn't find them anywhere else online that shipped to Australia. Then I saw that Fabulous Street shipped to Oz! Thank god! This NFU Oh 51 over Revlon Royal.

Oh I just love this polish! Both polishes! I love the multichromatic shimmer as well with the flakes. It just glows!

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!
