Package love!
Happy Friday ladies!! I love a bit of mail and recently I received 2 lovely packages and it's about time I shared the package love!! First up is some lovely beauty items from Christine from starry eyed beauty*!
The Ciate Very Colorfoil Manicure Carnival Couture kit!! I've wanted to try foils for AGES and this gorgeous Ciate kit is just perfect! Thank you for fulfilling this lemming Christine =DD
Maybelline Baby lips Electro lip balms in Pink Shock and Strike a Rose. The Baby Lips range is pretty awesome and these aren't available in Aus yet!
Some Covergirl goodies!! The Clump Crusher mascara, Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss balm in Ballet Twist and Smoochies lip balm in Sweet Tweet.
Very cute Bath and Body Works products!! I love hand sanitiser (haha!) and these tiny scented ones are so cute and smell amazing! The Sweet Clementine hand cream smells amazing too.
The second package is a swap with lovely Marte from Girly Addictions!! I swapped with her last year and she asked if I'd like to swap again and of course I said yes! I loved our last swap so I was super excited.
Marte sent me the beautiful new Catrice Thrilling me softly polish collection!! How pretty are they? Perfect shades for Autumn/Winter.
4 amazing p2 Sand Style polishes. When textured polishes first came out I was NOT a fan at all of the finish but I'm loving them now!! Especially ones with glitter through them like the gorgeous pink.
p2 Lost in Space Glitter polishes and a purple Hema Holographic!! There is nothing I love more than glitters and holos xp
Calvin Klein Splendid Color polishes! I've never tried CK polishes actually so thank you Marte for expanding my brand selection in my stash!
I love trying new top coats so I'm excited to try this Herome top coat. How funky is the bottle! Also the p2 Color-Stop fluid which reminds me of Liquid Palisade. I think it would make sponged ombre manis and stamping with black much easier!
How stunning does this Catrice Liquid eyeshadow in Mauves Like Jagger look?!! I don't have any gunmetal shades like this is too pretty to use I think haha.
Some face and body products!!
DUTCH SWEETS!! I love love LOVE stroopwafels and lovely Marte very kindly sent me 2 packets!! ♥♥♥ Also some yummy Bolletje chocolates and a milk chocolate M =)
Thank you so much Christine and Marte for spoiling me with these amazing gifts!!!!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Peach of Cake and Tickle Me Pink
These pretty Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Spring Racing polishes are more shades I didn't get a chance to share before I left for HK so better late than never right haha. These are limited edition so you might still be able to find them hopefully! The collection consists of 7 gorgeous Spring shades and I have swatches of two of the polishes from the collection - Peach of Cake and Tickle Me Pink.
What they say:
"Seven Spring Racing inspired shades of premier polish. As the ultimate colour authority, Sally Hansen has always set the trends when it comes to nail shades. This season is no different – the latest Sally Hansen shades are perfect for spring and are designed to make a statement. From pretty pastels to chic neutrals these new limited edition shades of Complete Salon Manicure are sure to have you race-day-ready this Spring."
Peach of Cake is a deep pastel peach creme. Any polish with "cake" in its name should be a winner lol. Sadly Peach of Cake isn't a total winner as it's a bit patchy so I recommend thin coats with a few minutes between each coat. 2 coats is pictured.
Tickle Me Pink is a super pigmented magenta creme. Bright and girlie and a very cute name! 2 coats is pictured because I applied it wonky however 1 even coat would definitely suffice!!
Overall: I have been loving the Complete Salon Manicure range this year and I really enjoyed these pretty Spring shades! They dry quickly to the high gloss shine that I love and they wear pretty well. I wish Peach of Cake had been a little less streaky but it's worth being patient with. Tickle Me Pink is that perfect shade for when you're going out but you have naked nails with only 5 minutes before you have to race out the door. One easy coat and you're done! Clearly I have too much time on my hands because yes I have specific shades in my stash that are dedicated to this category Xp
Details: The Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Spring Racing collection is available from Priceline and Priceline Pharmacy for $9.95 for a limited time only. Take a peek and other Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure shades I've swatched here!

Jeannie Vianney and Cirque Coronation ring and polish set
Hello ladies happy Monday!! =) I have an absolutely stunning polish set for you which I've FINALLY had the chance to swatch. I received the polish before I left for HK but I'm so behind on everything as usual doh. Better late than never right?!! Annie Pham from Cirque Colors has collaborated with winner of Texas' Next Top Designer Jeannie Vianney to create Coronation which consists of a beautiful purple polish and a rose gold crown ring. I adore the polish and it photographs so well I couldn't resist including a whole tonne of photos so be prepared for some photo spam!
What they say:
"Inspired by the resurgence of rose gold in the fashion world, award-winning jewelry designer, Jeannie Vianney, and popular indie nail brand, Cirque, have teamed up to create a special edition ring and nail polish duo. This eye-catching set exudes luxury and royalty by combining common monarchy symbols through shape and color."
The set comes in a black gift box with Jeannie Vianney and Cirque label and inside the ring and polish are housed in a black drawstring pouch.
Coronation is a royal purple packed with multi-dimensional copper shimmer with a smattering of holographic glitters in a jelly base. It is just breathtaking!! It really reminds me of Clarins 230 which is a polish I think is on every single nail bloggers wishlist!! The closest shade similar to it that's actually available in stores would be Max Factor Fantasy Fire but Coronation is so much more intense and contains added glitter too.
Close up:
Is it not just AMAZING?? Look at that beautiful shimmer!! I don't think I could stop looking at my nails when I wore it out lol. The formula is quite sheer so I'd suggest using at least 2-3 layers for intensity or layering it over a darker shade like black or a deep purple. I found I had to be quite careful with application as it was bit patchy but if you wait a few minutes in between layers it's no problem. Don't worry it's SO worth the wait though!!! It dries quickly to a semi-matte finish and 3 coats is pictured with no topcoat - I'd recommend a glossy topcoat to really bring the shimmer out.
There's a small colour shift from the pink-copper shimmer to green which is much more evident in the bottle.
The set includes a gorgeous rose gold-plated crown ring which is modeled from a piece of lace cast into metal to form the crown. The size is adjustable (5-9) and it's weighty and is just beautiful! Jeannie Vianney creates her jewellery in sterling silver and gold-plate and her signature style consists of detailed lace cast jewellery. She's known for discovering vintage and lace pieces and turning them into heirloom pieces and often pairs them with semi-precious stones and pearls.
Details: The Jeanie Vianney and Cirque polish set is available from Cirque.com and stockists for $48US. It's definitely on the pricier side but well worth the price I think and it comes with the beautiful crown ring too. Christmas is just around the corner after all so perhaps something to put on your wishlist? ;)
Thanks for looking as always!!
