Cosmetic Cupcake

Hi ladies! Tomorrow is my 25th birthday (OMG!) and I want to show you my manicure that I spent most of my night doing instead of doing pre-coursework for my training day on Thursday =p This post will be light on words as I must get to bed!


I tried to incorporate birthday things that I love! Glitter, cake, sweets, icecream and flowers amongst many other things =)


Here's what I used:

Pinky: I applied 2 coats of OPI What's with the Cattitude? and added icecream nail stickers I got from HK and 1 coat of Essence Glitter topcoat.

Ring fingers: I applied 1 coat of NYC Color Snazzle and 2 coats of Milani Jewel FX in Silver.

Middle fingers: I applied 2 coats of American Apparel Office (I love this colour! Thanks Alice!) and added cake and candy nail stickers also from HK. I then applied some half pearls and silver rhinestones. The design on my right hand is slightly different.

Index fingers: 2 coats of China Glaze Empowerment and floral nail sticker.

Thumb: 2 coats of Illamasqua Wink. I then konaded the present design from fauxnad plate b34 using Konad Special polish in white and added a purple clay bow. The design is upside down doh!



The boy came by late tonight to give me my birthday gift early! He told me he had a "cake" for me and pulled this out:


Eeeeeeek how adorable is it! You should have seen the huge grin on my face when I saw it lol. He always makes such a huge effort to surprise me and he's so thoughtful and creative with his gifts! He definitely puts me to shame when it comes to gift giving xD He takes my blog so seriously and he knows my love of cupcakes haha. The cupcake liner even matched the Tiffany blue!


I love charms and I've been lemming this particular cupcake one for aaaaaages but I can never justify the price. Actually I can never justify the price of Tiffany jewellery (especially here in Aus) but anyway it's now mine!!


Rilakkuma has a little suction thingy at the back so he's going on my mirror =)


Thanks for looking as always!

Hi ladies! I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. I am completely knackered at the moment after having just worked 9 days in a row x) It was mostly self inflicted of course but I have so much blog reading, blogging and housekeeping to do before it all starts again!!

I have a NOTD for you that I did a few days ago to help lift my mood. I used Essence High Waist Pink from the Denim Wanted! collection that Christina sent me for my birthday! This lovely bright polish was perfect to see in the end of Summer.


High Waist Pink is a lovely creme polish that's more coral than bright pink on the nail. In real life the colour is lighter than in my pictures, it's another hard polish to capture! High Waist Pink is the perfect colour for Summer/Spring and I think I'll use it as a pedicure colour soon. It was a bit streaky to apply so I used 3 coats and a coat of Color Club Vivid Color Intensifying topcoat to even it out. I then applied some Essence nail stickers Christina also included in my birthday package on my accent fingers. A quick and simple NOTD!


A quick reminder that My Big Birthday Giveaway ends in just under 24hours!! If you haven't entered already make sure you do!

Thanks for looking as always =)

Just a quick NOTD for you today using Color Club Sexy Siren from their Glitter Vixen collection. I don't have the energy to do much nail art at the moment so I'm just enjoying my polishes in their pure form! I received this wonderful polish a few weeks back in a lovely package from Rob from Color Club NZ. Thank you so much Rob!


Like many of you I absolutely LURVE glitter! Sexy Siren is a turquoise glitter that leans green and my camera just refused to photograph it properly. Why must my camera hate certain blues, greens and purples?? Anway, Sexy Siren is SO darn sparkly and blingy!! The more blingy a glitter is the more I love it and this just ticks all the right boxes =D It is such a gorgeous shade of turqoise and looks awesome on the nail. Pictured is 3 coats without topcoat.

I love the colour and the glitter however application was a somewhat pain in the butt for me so hopefully it was just my bottle. It was thick and gloopy making application difficult - it applied unevenly on the nail for the 1st 2 coats but the 3rd evened it out. I ended up adding a few drops of thinner to it after a while which made it easier to use. It dries quickly to a slightly gritty finish which I actually didn't mind! It adds to the glitter look and sparkle. I did apply a coat of Poshe topcoat after taking the pics though which made it even shinier! I got so many compliments when I wore this NOTD, my patients tell me blue polishes suit me hehe.


I was sent the above product to sample but this in no way influenced my review in any way. As always, my reviews are my 100% honest opinion.

Do you own any of polishes from the Color Club Glitter Vixen collection? What's your favourite? I have 2 more to try out yay!

Thanks for looking as always! There's only 3 more days to enter my My Big Birthday Giveaway!

I finally decided to pick up the much hyped about and sold out OPI Black Shatter the other day. I'm so glad I did because it's awesome!! I decided to layer it over my GOSH Holographic NOTD I showed you previously. My hands look a bit lobster-ish for some reason oops!


Application was perfect. I used 1 thin coat of Black Shatter and it shattered almost immediately. The combination of holo and shatter looked fantastic! My camera didn't pick it up that well though doh.




Do you have Black Shatter? What's your favourite layering combination?

I forgot to mention that Aysh is giving away a bottle of the awesome GOSH Holographic on her blog!!! If you'd like to win a bottle of this must have polish head over and enter here.

Thanks for looking!
