Water Marbled Mani's

It's been over 2 weeks and I am still waiting for my konad stamps to arrive in the post so I decided to give water marbling a try on the weekend, It was my first time so the results are far from perfect and I accidentally used tap water rather than filtered water which probably didn't help. I used Essie Blanc for the white base coat and Seche Vite for my top coat in all pictures, I am determined to get really good at water marbling so expect to see a lot more pics in coming weeks!

The first two pics below I used China Glaze Pool Party and Color Club Express Yourself & Age Of Aquarius.

The next two pics below I used China Glaze Pool Party and Color Club Express Yourself & Boys Wear Blue this combination of colours looked great together the blue and purple blended really well.

Lorelei's Tiara - China Glaze Eye Candy 3D Glitters Collection

As promised here a my swatches of Lorelei's Tiara from the new China Glaze Eye Candy 3D Glitters Collection, Lorelei's Tiara is the perfect mix of silver & light blue glitters it makes #2 on my list of of favourite silver glitter nail polishes released this year with OPI Crown Me Already still remaining in 1st place.

China Glaze Prismatic Chroma Glitters - Spring 2012 Specialty Collection

Now for the second new China Glaze Collection for 2012, Prismatic (Chroma Glitters) I am so excited about this Collection it looks totally awesome and completely different to previously released collections, six irresistible unique new colours the press release states,:

"This limited edition collection was inspired by the beauty and magic of multi-coloured prisms. Complete with glitter and holographic-like technology. These six icy shades give the appearance of multi-layers of iridescent color. So add this incredible illusion of color to your line up today"

Holographic, Chrome & Glitter I am in nail polish heaven and will fantasise about this collection until I can get my hands on it and have it stashed away safely in my own collection, my only worry is China Glaze could do what they did with the limited edition Tronica Collection last year and only release it in the USA or in selected stores like Sally Beauty.

Fingers crossed the collection will be released internationally or I might have to make another trip to the USA alternatively there should be scalpers in the USA selling it for ridiculous prices on ebay.com whatever you do don't procrastinate this is a limited edition collection and you will kick yourself if you miss out on it!

China Glaze Electropop Collection - Spring 2011

UPDATE

I am having my first ever blog giveaway the prize is six bottles of nail polish from the new China Glaze Electropop Collection please click here for details entries close January 31st 2012 the giveaway is open to residents of Australia and the mainland USA (sorry I cannot send to Hawaii or Alaska).

Some good news for 2012 we have two fantastic new China Glaze collections to look forward to at the beginning of next year, the first collection is Electropop a collection of Brights and Lights, gorgeous bright pop art shades and really cute candy coloured cremes also a re-release of China Glaze Techno (Glitter) is included in the collection.

A few of the colours look like dupes from the Up & Away Spring 2010 Collection but I doubt that will stop anyone from needing all these colours!

Twinkle Lights - China Glaze Let It Snow Holiday Collection 2011

This is the first in a series of posts I will be doing on colours from this years Winter/Holiday Collections, coming soon will be more colours from OPI Muppets Collection, China Glaze Eye Candy 3D Glitters, Essie Luxeffects & much more!

Twinkle Lights is a mixture of gold, red & green glitter in a clear base it is very sparkly, the formula is not gluggy and is very easy to work with as much as I like this colour I'm not a huge fan of gold nail polishes I prefer a lot of the rainbow and 3D glitter colours that have been released in other holiday collections, Twinkle Lights can be purchased separately or as part of one of the China Glaze xmas gifts sets.

My USA Nail Polish Haul!

It's been a week now since I got back from the USA, I have desperately been wanting to swatch all the new colours I brought but have been super busy the last week and had to get to my nails done before I could start swatching, I brought some awesome colours while I was away lots of Holographics & Glitters and some really great finds only available in the USA.

Pictured above are some of the nail polishes I brought on my trip I will be trying to swatch them all over the next few weeks, I was in nail polish heaven while I was away some of the brands I purchased were Sephora by OPI, Nicole by OPI, Nails Inc London, Piggy Polish, Zoya, Island Girl, Sinful Colours, Sally Hansen, ibd, OPI  Designer Series as well as the usual OPI, Essie, Orly & China Glaze.

China Glaze Eye Candy 3D Glitters Collection!

I am so excited about the new Marilyn Monroe inspired China Glaze Eye Candy 3D Glitters collection that has been released in the USA this week, I only wish it could have been released while I was in the USA ten days ago so I wouldn't have to wait the extra couple of weeks to have it shipped to me.

This has to be the most exciting China Glaze collection this year I love Glitters so I think I will probably end up with all of these colours but I am most in love with Lorelei's Tiara I think it is the must have of the collection!

Blond Bombshell, Lorelei's Tiara, Love Marilyn.

Marry A Millionaire, Material Girl, Some Like It Haute.

I am expecting to receive the Eye Candy 3D Colours in approx 10-14 days and will try and get some swatches of these colours and all the other colours I brought in the USA posted on my blog asap!

China Glaze He's Going In Circles

Hi, I thought the best way to start off my blog would be to share my current manicure with you this is China Glaze He's Going In Circles from the Kaleidoscope Collection like most holographic colours  this colour is really rare I was lucky to get a couple of bottles of it, please let me know what you think??? 

I am going to the USA in 55 days (I am counting) while I am there I will be trying to find as many rare nail polish colours as possible sometimes OPI and China Glaze Glaze release colours exclusively for Sally Beauty, Ulta & Sephora so we never get a chance to purchase these colours in Australia :(

I will continue to upload more images of my manicures as well as images of new nail polish colours and collections, if you have any great images of your own manicures please contact me!
