Face of Australia Amethyst gold rose manicure + a quick update
My apologies for the lack of posts this week and lax replying to comments and emails. If you follow me on Twitter then you might know that I haven't been feeling too well this week resulting in a trip to the emergency department yesterday to get checked out. It was not fun waiting 4 hours to be seen let me tell you! And that was after flashing my staff ID =( Of course I had to choose a crazy day in emergency to be unwell! Oh well it was an experience. I'm fine now but I have a cranial nerve infection (basically an inner ear infection) which is causing me hearing loss, dizziness and headaches. Not pleasant at all when you wake up and the whole room is spinning uncontrollably and your head is pounding. Not to mention decreased hearing in one ear =S The upside was I got meds to help with the dizziness and the emergency Dr was absolutely lovely and got me an urgent appointment on Monday since I was staff hehe. Thank you to to the lovely ladies on Twitter for your well wishes =)
Here's my manicure that I did on Tuesday night. Lots of ladies on Twitter were tweeting that they were using the fabulous Face of Australia Molten Metallics collection (which I swatched for you guys here - Part 1 & Part 2) for their manis which made me want to get my polishes out too! I am really loving the full roses Konad image so I went with Amethyst and the konading in gold to complement it.
I used 2 coats of Face of Australia Amethyst as a base colour on all fingers. I then stamped full roses image from Konad plate m65 using China Glaze Passion on all fingers except my thumb. For my thumb I wanted a bling accent (ie. Blackberry bling!) so I applied 2 coats of OPI Sparkle-icious over Amethyst.
Normal posting will resume as soon as I'm 100%! I have so many exciting posts to share including the awesome Schwarzkopf event I attended, an Illamasqua master class and swatches and products too!
Thanks for looking as always =) Don't forget to enter my Glitter Gal giveaway!
