Beginners nail art class at Work-Shop
Hi ladies!! I can't believe it's taken me so terribly long to get my act together to post this but last month I had the pleasure of teaching a beginners nail art class at Work-Shop in Sydney. Work- Shop are based in Broadway, Sydney and run affordable fun short courses in arts and crafts and life skills. They run courses like tea appreciation, yoga, magic and street art! I was so nervous beforehand but once I got into the swing of things it was all good! Seriously I love talking nails ;)
The setup for each person! The nail polishes and remover were very kindly provided by Face of Australia which everyone was so appreciative of! It's always fun playing with someone else's polishes haha. A huge thank you to Camilla for helping me set up beforehand!!
I taught 3 basic nail art techniques on the night - dots, glitter gradient and sponged ombre - and then showed how easy it was to adapt them for more complicated designs.
I don't think I make the best teacher but everyone tried it all out and seemed like they were having loads of fun!
Ladies showing off their fab nail art at the end of the class!! Thank you to everyone that came!
I'm teaching another beginner's nail art class next Monday 23rd September and tickets are still available! If you fancy learing some nail art with me, head to the Work-Shop site for full details and to book.
Hope to see you there! =)

Lynnderella Peridot Power
I have another pretty Lynnderella glitter from the Talismans and Birthstones collection for you today!! I'm on a green kick lately so I have some quick swatches of the pretty Peridot Power to show you =)
Peridot Power is made up of translucent neon yellow and lime hexagons as well as chatreuse glitters accented with microglitters in a clear base.
I don't own any glitters like this so I'm pretty stoked to add to to my collection! I love the colour combination of Peridot Power - it'd be perfect for a more classy Australia Day mani x) 2 coats is pictured over 2 coats Kester Black Moss. Excuse the wrinkled fingers oops! The effects of acetone and not enough moisturiser haha.
Close up:
Details: Lynnderella polishes can be purchased from Glitter Connect for $24.95 for Aussie ladies (make sure you check out the Glitter Connect Facebook page for the latest Lynnderella updates!), Lynnderella.com for US ladies and Norway Nails for European ladies.
You can check out my other Lynnderella swatches here!! Thanks for looking as always =)

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Parrot
Hellooooooooo ladies!! I hope you're all having a good start to the week. I'm getting my blogging mojo back so expect more regular posting from me! I've been making regular trips to Chemist Warehouse lately to buy supplies because I stupidly burnt myself and of course I can't go past the (often random!) beauty bargains that they have there. One of the bargains I came across was the gorgeous Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Parrot which was only $5!!! It's from the Sally Hansen for Tracey Reese Spring collection from last year which I don't think has ever actually been released here in Aus.
Parrot is a beautiful grass green creme. Isn't it gorgeous and Spring-ish!! It applied really well and is pretty pigmented and dries to a glossy finish. I think it'd make for a nice green apple manicure! 3 coats is pictured and I had to add a coat of Seche Vite to smooth over a dent lol.
Details: I bought it for $5 from Chemist Warehouse but it was the last bottle at the store I went to and I haven't seen them at any other Chemist Warehouse stores unfortunately! Best to do a hunt ;) They had a few other shades from the collection but Parrot looked the most interesting.
My blue and green collection is growing nicely now!! What are some of your favourite green polishes? Thanks for looking as always! =)

Kester Black Winter Garden collection swatches and review
Hi ladies! A few weeks back Anna from Aussie brand Kester Black very kindly got in touch to see if I would like to try out her polishes. I've been admiring her polishes for quite some time having come across the brand from seeing the polishes used by Trophy Wife Nail Art so I was super super excited to try them out! Today I'm very excited to (finally!) share with you my swatches and review of the gorgeous Winter Garden collection. It's taken me sooooooo long to swatch all the polishes unfortunately but I'm finally done! The lighting in my pics varies because I had to swatch the collection over quite a few days.
Kester Black polishes are 5 Free which means that they're free of Toluene, DBP, Formaldehyde, Formeheldyde Resin and Camphor. They're also carcinogen free so are safe for chemotherapy patients, expectant mothers and children. The polishes are Australian made and owned and is an accredited Cruelty-Free company which is absolutely fantastic!!
