Today I have some quick swatches for you of Ozotic Pro 904 - one of the brand new polishes from their new Sugar collection. The Sugar polishes are inspired by "'adding a tiny drop of food colouring to icing sugar' hence the sugary sweet looking colours". Let me warn you it is pretty amazing!


904 is a bright yellow polish containing colour changing crystal flecks that aren't really apparent in the bottle. When layered over black it really comes to life! The crystal flecks shift from green to blue to a teeny bit of yellow depending on your lighting. I layered 1 thin coat over 2 coats of Glitter Gal Serpent Black.

The polish dried quite quickly and the brush was great to use. I recommend working quickly and applying thin coats as you can get patchiness. I had to redo my swatches as I worked too slowly and had to add more coats of 904 to even things out which didn't look too good especially when on macro!





Overall I think it's a really unique polish! I love that it transforms a boring black polish into something really unusual. I got lots of lovely compliments when I wore it so definitely one worth trying out for yourself! The new Ozotic Pro Sugar & Beam collection is available in 8 shades and can be purchased from Picture Polish for $12.

What do you think of these new Sugar polishes? Thanks for looking as always!

A quick swatch for you today of Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream which I picked up recently while I was in Hong Kong. I am a sucker for her polishes and it takes every ounce of my self control not to go crazy and just buy every single one of them!!


Mermaid's Dream is a shimmery pale green/blue foil with gold and blue glitter through it. It is just gorgeous and really reminds me of mermaids and the sea. It's pretty pigmented so you could get away with 1 thickish coat but I used 2 coats which is pictured here. It dries to a gritty finish so I suggest a thick topcoat.

I picked this up from Joyce Beauty in HK but you can purchase it from Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus or Kiss and Makeup NY.

Thanks for looking as always!

Some food porn for you all today! In September my foodie friends Anita, Jade and I headed to Guillaume at Bennelong for dinner. It had been months of planning and after a few reschedules we FINALLY made it there! We decided to go with the degustation but in particular we were after their famous Paris mash and let me tell you - it was freaking AMAZING and the meal did not disappoint. As usual, I'm not responsible for any drooling caused by my pics!

Aaaaaaaaaaaand I'm back from my trip! I hope you've all been fab =D 2 weeks seriously is not enough time for a decent holiday, it just went by way too quickly! I spent time with my grandparents and also doing wedding stuff (got so much stuff ordered and organised!) which didn't leave too much time for shopping so my wallet is happy haha. I went over with a specific wishlist as I'm on a tight budget so my haul this time is far less than my usual ones! I have way too many products and I still need to get off my butt and do a blog sale! I bought quite a bit of clothing though this time and also shoes but I can't be bothered taking pics of those oops. Here's my haul!


Polishes!! 3 of the Essie Mirror Metallics, China Glaze Wicked collection and one from the Bohemian collection, innisfree glitters, Deborah Lippmanns, a Jessica and a peripera.


I met up with the lovely Jen as always and she very very kindly gave me a $50 Make Up For Ever voucher! I was only going to get one polish from the Black Tango collection but they were buy 2 get 1 free so of course I couldn't resist and ended up with the whole collection! I also picked up a Aqua Eyes Liner. They are the BEST liners!


Some nail art stuff of course! Fauxnad plates, nail art brushes, nail decals and stickers, fimo, palette and some cabochons.


Yes I indeed did lug home a 1L bottle of Zoya Remove lol. It was on sale and it's so hard to get here! The downfall to polishing my nails all the time is staining so I let myself get talked into getting the Cuccio Sicilian nail whitening paste. Here's hoping it works!


The shu uemura eyelash curler is my HG and I was tossing up between getting the gold or the mon shu girl curler and ended up going with mon shu girl. Karl Lagerfield rocks and I'm a sucker for a charm.


A few misc items! A refill for my Clinique powder, YSL glossy stain, MAC Select Moisturecover concealer, Kiehl's Cryste Marine eye cream and one of the new Clinique Chubby Stick shades.


I've heard so much stuff about the Bioderma I had to try it out. It's so much cheaper in HK!


Of course I got some face masks! I'm kind of obsessed with them lol. I actually bought 4 more boxes but had to leave them behind because my luggage was too heavy. The darn Zoya Remove!


Kracie poppin' cookin' is the bomb so I got a few more kits. If you haven't heard of them I HIGHLY recommend you check out RRcherrypie's blog and YouTube channel! You will be addicted!


My sister got an iphone 4S a while back and nicked some of the cases I got last time so I had to restock my supply haha. The MJ and Kate Spades I got for a bargain at Ladies Market so they're obviously not real xp


So that's my haul! I haven't done a haul post in a while because I've been on no buys. I hope you enjoyed my post!

Thanks for looking as always =)
