Australian Series: Sunshine and yellow

Hello~ Lame title, onto the pretty nails :P. I haven't ever worn yellow fully on my tips before so I thought it was time to try it out! I applied three coats of Ulta3 spring blossom onto my nails and two coats of Face of Australia Gold onto my accent nails. I then applied one thick coat of OPI Servin' up sparkle to bling up the mani :)

Both mani photos were taken under direct sunlight.

Gold leaned a bit more bronze on me, but I actually liked it this way. I have a feeling actual gold shades will look terrible on me.

I don't usually wear yellow or yellow based shades on my tips as I think they will clash with my yellow based skin tone. But this! This was really pretty :). Loved it loads and the glitters made it all the more amazing. What do you think of yellow shades?

Australian Series: Verdigris

Hi~^^ Hope you all had a great start to the weekend. I'm trying to savour mine as best as possible before I return to uni on Monday.

Awhile ago, I received a lovely nail package from Face of Australia. One of the polishes included was Verdigris. This is a light olive green which has a metallic finish. Careful application is required in order not to end up with a brushstrokey mess. I applied two coats here~

It's not my favourite shade of green, but I actually grew to like it :) Of course, if it were less brushstrokey, I'd be loving it. What are your thoughts of metallic finishes? Love or hate?

Australian Series: Iron Ore

Hello~ :) Since posting my list of Top 10 polishes and seeing no Australian brands making it onto the list, I realised just how little I showcase my appreciation for them. On top of that, it appears they don't receive as much love as other brands in the blogosphere and as a result, I'll be starting a theme on Australian brand nail polish. Definitely refer to my Australian series tag to check out the series of posts!

First up I'd like to show you Face of Australia Iron Ore. When I first laid eyes on the Molten Metalics (LE) collection, I was instantly captivated by pretty silver shimmer swimming in the molten black pool. I definitely wasn't disappointed! Shown below is two coats. The polish was slightly thick, but it wasn't to the point where it is hard to work with.


This is definitely a different take to your classic black and I'm loving it! Iron ore can be purchased in Priceline, Kmart, Big W and selected pharmacies across Australia. As for international ladies, don't fret! The lovely people over at Fashion Addict stock the polish and also ship internationally! Be sure to hurry as this is a limited edition collection so they're only available while stocks last.
