Cirque Cape Liz
A few months back I hauled a few Cirque polishes that I'd been lemming for a while. One of them was Cape Liz which I HAD to have after seeing Amy Graces' gorgeous swatch of it! One can never have enough blues I think ;)
Cape Liz is a stunning light blue with blue and silver shimmer. How beautiful is it!! It was a bit hard to capture the shimmer on my nails but you can see it in my bottle pic above. Application was reasonable - the formula is a bit thick so I used 3 thin coats which is pictured.
Details: Cirque polishes are available from the Cirque online store and selected stockists for $13US.
There are so many awesome brands available these days there's just not enough time (or $$!) to try them all. I'm so glad I finally hauled Cirque!
What are your favourite shades? Thanks for looking as always!

Scandal Heart nail lacquer in 48 Red Sparkle
Hi ladies! I was contacted by Scandal Cosmetics recently to collaborate with them and to try out some of their latest products. Of course I said yes! I’ve used Scandal polishes over the years and if you live in Sydney or Melbourne I’m sure you’ve drooled over their colourful stands of polishes in cosmetics stores as I have! Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing swatches and some fun nail art using their products. They’ve also been very generous and each week there’ll be an exclusive offer for their online site for you guys! Today’s polish is from their Scandal Heart nail lacquer range which is my favourite collection.
48 Red Sparkle is a gorgeous packed red and silver glitter in a dark wine red base. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to try it out! You know how much I love glitters! Application was great and the glitters applied very evenly on the nail, dry time was good too. I really enjoy using the brushes in the Heart range – they’re flat and wide and remind me of the OPI Pro-Wide brushes I adore so much except they aren’t as flat. Even the bottles look nearly identical! Here I’ve layered 2 coats of Red Sparkle over 2 coats of Scandal Blackline in 5804 Modern Black.

Details: Scandal Heart nail lacquers are available from Scandal Cosmetics online store for a$4.
This week’s offer! Use coupon code “cosmeticcupcake” between Monday 12th May– Sunday 19th May 2013 to receive a huge 20% off the entire site! For the month of May all orders will receive a free lipgloss too!
Thanks so much for looking and happy shopping!

I have such an insane amount to catch up on including reviews, wedding posts and an awesome offer for my Aussie readers from next week. Thank you to all my lovely (and patient!) readers for putting up with my erratic posting over the last few months. Life has calmed down and I'll be getting back to posting regularly once more!

Sweethearts.
A few weeks back D and I traipsed around the city for our engagement shoot with the awesome Joel from Tealily Photography. We wanted something different from the usual engagement shoots at the beach/park etc and went for a "date night" theme. We walked from Martin Place down to The Rocks and stopped along the way for snaps.
Words cannot describe how absolutely blown away and in love with our photos I am and I thought I would share a few!
