Pink and gold glitter half moon manicure
Some quick nail art for you today! I saw this gorgeous half moon mani by Sam from A Curiousity last week on Instagram and decided to give it a go myself on the weekend. It's such a sweet combo!
I used 2 coats of Hello Darling Sugar & Spice and I freehanded the half moons using a striper brush and Sally Hansen Complete Manicure Golden Rule. It's definitely not the neatest half moons but hey glitter hides a thousand sins!!
What do you think? Thanks for looking as always!! =)

Bourjois So Laque! Ultra Shine Rose Lounge
Happy Sunday!! Gah can you believe the weekend is over already?!! It was such a beautiful weekend and I am really dreading going back to the drudgery of work =( On Monday's I like to wear particularly bright shades as my protest to it being Monday but sometimes I like a good palette cleanser and Bourjois So Laque! Ultra Shine in Rose Lounge is the perfect shade for it. It also makes a great wedding shade too - Kate Middleton wore it for her wedding 2 years ago!
What they say:
"So Laque Ultra Shine, the new revamped version of So Laque. Twice the Vinyl for intensely lacquered nails with maximum shine!
The formula is enriched with twice as much vinyl and a blend of highly reflective resins for nails with incredible shine. So Laque Ultra Shine, a long-lasting hold for up to 7 days.. a range of pure, lacquered shades with no sparkles or shimmer, for smooth, radiant colour on nails."
Rose Lounge is a very pretty sheer, milky pink. I love sheer pinks but it's hard to find one that doesn't streak and applies easily. Rose Lounge surprised me and ticked both those boxes!! It applied easily and the wide brush was great to use. I used 3 thin coats which is pictured and you can still see some VNL but I left it at 3 as I didn't want it to become too thick. It dried quickly even though I used 3 coats and dried to a high gloss finish. I can see why it's a popular shade!!

Details: Bourjois So Laque! Ultra Shine polishes are available from Target, Priceline, Priceline online store and selected Myer stores and pharmacies Australia wide for $12.
I really enjoyed using Rose Lounge so I'll definitely be checking out other shades in the So Laque! range!! Any shades you'd recommend? Thanks for looking as always!! =)

July, August and September 2013 hauls!
Happy weekend guys!! Soooo I thought I'd do a haul post since I haven't done one in a while. I haven't been hauling much lately so I have to group them all together haha! Of course it's mainly polish xp
Lynnderella Candy Blossom
Are you ready for more Lynnderella swatches? I'm always ready for these gorgeous glitters! Today I have swatches of Candy Blossom which is from the Everything's Coming Up Neon collection.
Candy Blossom is made up of pastel and neon pink, neon green, white and yellow glitters in a clear pink-shimmered base.
It is such a sweet combo like the name suggests!! I love the little pops of yellow and green to break up the pink. Unfortunately my camera decided to wash my photos out but the glitter is more vibrant on the nail. 3 coats is pictured over 2 coats of China Glaze Empowerment.
Close up:
Details: Lynnderella polishes can be purchased from Glitter Connect for $24.95 for Aussie ladies (make sure you check out and like the Glitter Connect Facebook page!), Lynnderella.com for US ladies and Norway Nails for European ladies.
You can check out my other Lynnderella swatches here!! I have one more left to show you =) Thanks for looking as always!
