piCture pOlish Collab-Fest 2013
Happy Monday ladies!! Today I am super excited to show you my piCture pOlish collaboration shade Frosting again for the piCture pOlish Collab-Fest 2013!! Earlier this year I shared Frosting with you which I was amazingly lucky to create with piCture pOlish. All the ladies who have also created amazing collaboration collection shades will be revisiting their shades today as well so you'll be seeing quite a few of these posts =)
Ahhhh I will never get sick of using my collab shade! Frosting is a milky cupcake pink creme filled with small silver, violet and magenta hex glitters and in the mix are some silver hearts. I like to use 3 coats for full glitter coverage (which is pictured in my swatches here) however you could leave it at 2 coats for a softer, milkier look.
I love wearing Frosting on it's own but I couldn't resist adding a bit of cupcake nail art since that was my inspiration for the polish! I used Frosting for the cupcake liner and added some white stripes using a striper brush. Then I used a dotting tool with a dark chocolate brown creme for the cupcake and added a silver heart rhinestone and some red bullions for the sprinkles.
Details: piCture pOlish Frosting and other collaboration shades are available from the piCture pOlish online store and Network members for $12.
I absolutely loved creating my collaboration shade Frosting and I hope you enjoyed having another look at it today!! Make sure you check out the other beautiful collab shades! You can see my original post about Frosting here.

p2 Sand Style Adorable
I've done a complete 180 on sand finish polishes over the last few months and I can't get enough of them at the moment. Yeah a bit late to the party haha! I showed you the lovely package Marte sent me yesterday and I immediately wanted to try out the p2 Sand Style polishes. I couldn't resist trying the gorgeous girly Adorable first!
Adorable is a light pink sand finish polish that contains large silver glitters and microglitters. It is super sparkly and my pics just don't do it justice (dodgy lighting oops)!! It's just stunning and I got soooooooo many compliments. I had to bring it in to work and give my workmate a mani using it lol. It applied really well and the brush was great to use. Dry time was quick and man it wears like iron. I took these photos 3 days after application!! There's some slight tip wear on my index and middle fingers which is pretty reasonable. 2 coats is pictured with no topcoat.
Close up:
What do you think? What are your fave sand finish polishes? Thank you Marte for this beauty! Thanks for looking as always! =)

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!
