Storm clouds rolling in

Hi everyone~ Spring in Australia means fluctuating temperatures and weather. One day it's warm and sunny, the next it's cloudy and freezing :(. This mani was totally fit for the cloudy weather we had a few days ago. Too cold!

I applied two coats of Rimmel grey matter onto my nails. I then took my OPI Servin' up sparkle to give the mani some glitter tips. I love how the glitter adds that little extra bling to the mani to make it look more interesting <3.

What do you think of this mani? I've gotta run now, class will be on soon! Don't forget to check out my Blog Birthday giveaway!

Pink Wednesday!! Rimmel Sunny Side

Hi my fellow polish lovers,

Today I have my first Pink Wednesday mani for ya, I'm so excited to join the Pink Wednesday group because 1 I loved the movie 2 I finally have a reason to wear my pinks (I normally don't reach for them when I pick out a polish) I know I know I suck LOL

Sunny side is a cherry coral pink polish with gold shimmer,I used 2 thick coats. I really could not catch the gold shimmer because the sun was not playing nice :( NO SUN BOOOOOOOO lol I got this polish from ebay in a lot of 10 Rimmel polishes would you like to see the rest?

I'm not sure this is the right kind of pink for pink Wednesday but oh well I'll pick a different one next time.







Can you see the gold shimmer?

So what do you think about this polish?

Thanks for looking.

Nail art #20 - Stained glass window

I remember back in primary school we used to cut random holes and shapes out of a black piece of paper and stick all sorts of colourful cellophane to make a stained glass window. With Christmas coming up, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to try out stained glass window nail art ^^.

The first photo is taken indoors under natural light and the second indoors with flash. Sorry for the tip wear, the photos were taken after heaps of washing up ^^;;

Polishes used - 

Blue: Maybelline Colorama Electric blue

Red: Maybelline Colorama Candy apple

Green: Rimmel Forest

Silver: Ulta3 Snazzle

Gold: Ulta3 Antique copper

Black: Ulta3 Black satin

White: Ulta3 Lily white

I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with the outcome, I think it's a bit over the top to have all five nails looking like this.

Thanks for dropping by~

Nail art #8 - Brainy polish?

The first thing that came to mind when I spotted Rimmel's Grey Matter was grey matter = component of brain. No joke. I'm a little surprised that I actually remember stuff from Year 11/12 biology class! But moving on from that.

I had stated some posts back that I had been lemming for some grey polishes for awhile, preferably a crème polish. And to my joy, I discovered Grey Matter when I dropped by Kmart about a week ago. (This also happened to be the time Kmart was having a sale and I was meant to be a good girl sitting at home, studying...) Here in Australia, Rimmel polishes are sold at ridiculously high prices for such tiny sizes of the bottle so I normally don't purchase them. However, as Grey Matter was on sale - only $3.50, what a bargain! - I took the plunge. And boy am I glad I did.

Turns out that the grey leans more to an icy-blue shade, but I'm not complaining since I'm totally in love with it. Application was a pain though, I'm not sure if it's just my bottle or the polish but it was quite thick. It took me awhile, but all was good in the end. Two coats, then I decided to add some nail art to it by making use of my dotting tool :).

Polishes used:

Maybelline Colorama - Dark Chocolate
Ulta3 - Lily White
Rimmel - Your Majesty


There's a boo-boo on my third finger due to me getting it caught on something, can't remember what now. That'll teach me to wait for my nails to dry completely before doing anything.

Thanks for dropping by!

Nail art #5 - Second attempt at stamping

I tried some stamping again today, to see if my skills had improved from my previous (faily) attempt. And I'm proud to say that yes, it has! :D

Stamped with Rimmel's Your majesty.

Out of ten nails, only one nail (right fourth finger) came out smudged. Now that I seem to have acquired the basics to stamping, I'll have to work on position and transferring the whole image from the stamper to the nail, lol. You can see that my stars are all slightly different since I didn't get the full image onto the nail ^^;;.

Thanks for dropping by!

Good old Rimmel London, I can always count on you!

When in a funk or just can't choose a polish,I almost always go to one of my long time favorite brands.This time it was one of my favorite drug store brands, Rimmel London.This is Night BeforeA great deep purple with glowing pink shimmer!This is 2 coats and always fab application.
I love my old Rimmel's! I have quite a few but I watch constantly for more of the older ones.
Do you have a fallback

Whine, cry,Had to shorten my nails a bit! :*(

The dry winter air has taken it's toll on my nails.
I had a nasty split waaay back in the nail bed yesterday so to take some of the stress off I shortened my nails and put a silk wrap on. Now to see how long it takes to grow this boo boo out. Luckily it didn't bleed so i think I'm safe as far as risk of infection, but I'm babying it for now. Go figure it's my middle finger...over use I suppose.
