Color Club - Wham! Pow!

I really need to learn to post earlier in the day! I am so exhausted I can't think of anything interesting to say! So apologies in advance for the waffling!

I saw Carli's swatch of Wham! Pow! the other day and developed a crazy lemming for it, only to realise I already had it in my Helmer!

So I put it on today and was blown away by how unbelievably bright this polish is! I'm quite tanned at the moment so I loved the way this polish looked with my skin colour! (Sydney just had its longest heat wave in 150 years of weather recording with temperatures over 103-106F every day for the past week!)

I only had to use two coats to get it nice and even (no white base underneath!) Like most other neons it dried to a semi matte finish so I used a coat of Poshe to make it nice and shiny.

First two photos are indoors with flash, last photo is in natural light, no flash.

OPI The Show Must Go On!

Hey everyone! I can't believe I'm posting twice in one day! I have been so productive today!

The Show Must Go On! is from OPI's recent Burlesque Collection. This is a pink leaning red duochrome that has a yellow/orange flash which you can see really distinctly in the bottom two photos. I used two coats for these shots.

TSMGO! is definitely not a dupe for MAC's Bad Fairy (I gave my bottle away to Jacie at You've Got Nail so I can't do a comparison), but from what I remember of Bad Fairy, I much prefer the way TSMGO! looks on me. 

China Glaze - Fortune Teller

Ok........ This is a big deal... A big, big, big, big, deal! 

I have been lemming China Glaze Fortune Teller for agessssss! It was numero uno on my lemming list, but I could not find it anywhere.. Not even evilbay had it.... And then the other day, I decided to search for it again, and BANG! THERE IT WAS! So I shelled out the dosh and then started counting the days until my little baby arrived... 

Here is a picture of what it was like when I got Fortune Teller....

So of course I had to put it on straight away.... 

Behold, MY PRECIOUS..... ! Haha!

China Glaze - Awakening Collection Halloween 2010

Even though Halloween isn't really a big deal in Australia, I had to get my hands on the new China Glaze Awakening Collection for Halloween 2010. I ended up buying Mummy May I and Ick-a-bod-y only as I had read that Zombie Zest is a dupe for SpaRitual's Optical Illusion, which I already own.

Sadly, application for these was a bit of a PITA. They were really gluggy and thick! Admittedly, I applied them really quickly, but after the second coat I still had patches, so a third was needed for a solid colour. Both dried quite gritty and lumpy so a top coat is definitely needed! However, they are both freaking gorgeous colours so I still love them. Ick-a-bod-y turned out to be my favourite! The orange/coppery glitter is simply stunning against the green/black base!

OPI - Flit A Bit

I am frantically trying to get good swatches of the three Essie Fall 2010 colours I received today so in the mean time, I give to you OPI Flit a Bit from the recent Summer Flutter collection.

I find cremes a little boring sometimes so I added a layer of CND Amethyst Sparkle. The CND made the colour a bit darker, but I personally love purple and orange together so I really enjoyed this mani!

I will hopefully have swatches of Essie Fall 2010 tomorrow and then Cosmic FX on Wednesday!
