OPI Absolutely Alice

This is everyone’s favourite OPI, I think. I’ve seen a lot of blog posts about it and I have to admit, it is beautiful.

 

AbsolutelyAlice'

Absolutely Alice, three coats. This is packed with blue and gold glitters of different shades. It applies really well for such a glitter bomb. I used it over a PVA base coat and I really wanted to keep the peeled off bits of Absolutely Alice. Haha, does that make me sad? I’m okay with that Smile with tongue out

 

Do you have AA?

FNUG Futuristica

Introducing one of my new favourite polishes.

And of course, it’s holo.

It’s FNUG Futuristica!

 

Futuristica

This is inside. INSIDE!

 

And now outside:

Aaarghh! So much beautiful holo. This is a lovely pale blue colour and the holo is off the charts. It’s definitely the most holo polish I own.

I used the FNUG Aqua Base and that really help in application. It was still a tiny bit patchy but not too bad. I didn’t use top coat which means it didn’t last very long until it was chipped but the top coat definitely dulled the holo effect Sad smile

 

I just love looking at photos of this polish. It is such a stunner.

 

Do you have any FNUGs?

Aussie favourites–Chi Chi Plastic Fantastic and Pretty Serious Liquid Leprechaun

I have a couple of Aussie stunners to show you today.

The first is from Chi Chi, an awesome brand who have a huge range of polishes and other cosmetics.

 

This is Plastic Fantastic:

PlasticFantastic

Such a pretty deep mint aqua-y green. I found it hard to describe this colour, can you tell!? Two coats. A great, creamy formula.

I stamped some pretty flowers on top.

 

And this is Pretty Serious Liquid Leprechaun:

LiquidLeprechaun

This is from Pretty Serious’ Halloween collection. It truly is like someone threw a leprechaun into a blender and hit the go button. Poor little leprechaun Sad smile 

This has a boat load of green and gold glitters. I just love it! It only needed two coats and application was fantastic so I needed to do minimal clean up. Winner!

 

Go Aussies!

China Glaze Hanging in the Balance and Whirled Away

I really, really loved this mani.

For my Secret Santa present from the lovely Peita from Peita’s Polish I received three of the polishes from the China Glaze Cirque du Soleil collection.

 

Hanginginthebalance

This is Hanging in the Balance, a beautiful bright blue creme. Stunning, isn’t it? It stains like a biatch, so beware! I layered Whirled Away, the black and white glitter, on top.

I really love the colour combination but the glitters were just too big for me. I’m not a big fan. If the glitters were smaller then it would be a winner!

I also stamped a koi fish design from plate A48. Beautiful fishy!

 

What do you think?

Cult Nails Flushed

Ooh do I have a beauty to show you today. Cult Nails is one of my favourite brands (that’s no secret), but this one is a real winner.

 

Flushed

Flushed, two coats. I just love this beautiful purple with pink shimmer. Cult Nails, I love you. Take my money.

 

 

Flushedstamp

Some cute stamping with the Nailz Craze plates. I just love the Nailz Craze plates. They have awesome designs and I’ve used them over and over again!

 

Do you love Cult Nails as much as me? How about Nailz Craze?

essence Bashful & Sneezy

Okay, so I’m a bit late to the party with this one. I actually got the essence Snow White collection back when it first came out but it took me a while to get around to trying them and even longer to get around to blogging them.

 

There were quite a few polishes in this collection so I tried two at once.

 

BashfulSneezy

Bashful (green) and Sneezy (brown)

Two coats of each. I just loved these. They were so lovely and creamy and the green had gorgeous golden micro flakies through it.

 

BashfulSneezystamp

Isn’t this ADORABLE!? I used the Bundle Monster plates with a MyOnline Shop gold stamping polish. I just love owls so I was really pleased with this mani.

 

What do you think?
