Zoya and Lilypad Lacquer

Hi all! In the Aussie nails group this week we are trying to use our untried polishes, I don't have a huge amount compared to some of the girls, I have around 30 untrieds, so today I have used my untried zoya jem and stamped it with lilypad lacquer Vanellope (which isn't untried but shhhhh).


Jem is such a pretty really deep purple, it almost borders on being a really dark red, it's gorgeous! Vanellope is a minty green holo but unfortunately you can't really see that with the stamping. 


For the stamping I used 2 plates that I got from Born Pretty Store. They were plate to-02 and plate m85.

Now the pictures! 



I couldn't angle my thumb properly for a good picture, but you get the idea (I hope!).

Anyway, just a quick post today, I have to run and get ready for work now. Bye for now!

*SPOILER ALERT* August What's In-die Box?!

Hi all, yesterday I received August's what's in-die box?! I am sure I have said it before but I seriously love this concept! I'm one of the lucky ones who has so far gotten my box pretty quickly so it's been a surprise each time when opening. 


This months theme was "Wreck It Ralph". I still haven't seen this movie but it is on my list. The contributors from this month were Glam PolishPeita's PolishLilypad LacquerGloss 'n Sparkle and Sayuri Nail Lacquer. I was pretty excited to get my first Sayuri too! 


Ooh the suspense! 


So prettily packaged. 


From left to right is Sayuri Fro Cone, Peita's Polish Ralph, Lilypad Lacquer Vanellope, Glam Polish King Of All The Candy!!! and Gloss 'n Sparkle Bad Anon. 

Fro Cone is a dusty purple packed with glitter! Purple, orange and holo glitter in different shapes and sizes. It's so pretty. 

Ralph is a gorgeous glitter bomb. Packed with orange glitter that has pops of blue glitter throughout. 

Vanellope is amazing!!! It is a gorgeous minty holo, my first Lilypad lacquer holo and it definitely won't be the last! 

King of all the candy!!! is another glitter bomb topper. There are so many different glitters in this polish that I don't even know where to start. Gold, red, purple, white, holo, so many different shapes and sizes too! 

Bad anon is a black jelly base packed with glitter. Lots of it is holo so I'm not even sure what colours are in there, lets just say, it's super shiny! 

I am currently wearing Vanellope and it doesn't disappoint. 


It is a litter more green in real life but this picture shows off the holo nicely. 

I've done some swatch sticks of the other colours but its just a quick photo so you don't get the full effect of all the polishes. 


Next month's theme is Sex and the City, I'm super excited about this because I love love love sex and the city! If you want any more information about it next month it is being run by Peita's Polish so check out her  etsy store. My order is already in ;) 

Thanks for reading! Bye for now,

Color Club holo and stamping

Hi all, I got a new polish the other day! Color Club halo-graphic. It's so pretty! Tonight's mani is a base of halo-graphic and stamped with NOPI All Kendall-ed Up. 


I'm actually really pleased with how it turned out for once. Normally I'm never happy with my stamping! 



This picture was taken in sunlight. 



I took this picture indoors so you can see the stamping a bit better. I used stamping plate M85 as well. 


Hope you all have a great weekend! 


Bye for now,
