It's My Birthday!

Another year older, but not necessarily any wiser :P 

Thanks to my studies, I haven't even had the chance to do a "birthday manicure" but hopefully I can get one done later today. We are going out to dinner tonight, and naturally, I need to have fantastic nails for the occasion! 

I mentioned a few posts back that I was going to have a small giveaway to celebrate my birthday, but sadly the giveaway goodies haven't arrived yet. But I promise that as soon as they do, I will post the giveaway!

Zoya - Cheryl

Hey everyone! Today I'm wearing Zoya Cheryl from their recent Wicked & Wonderful collection.

Cheryl has a dark brown/chocolate base with tons and tons of copper and gold microglitter. It is one of those "lit from within" colours which I absolutely love. Cheryl applies so well! If you were really careful with your application you could probably get away with one coat. I did two coats just to be safe and added one coat of Seche. Absolutely stunning!

You can really see the copper and gold micro glitter in this closeup.

 I have exams over the next couple of weeks, so I might be MIA for the next few days, but I will try my best to post as often as I can! :D

Color Club - Pucci-licious

Craptastic swatch of the week! I was painting my nails while watching the Australian Rugby League grand final and my team, St George Dragons, were winning after being down at half time,  so I was a little excited..... and my nails reflect my level of excitement! :P 

Purely for my own pleasure, I have included a photo of the boys with their trophy! 

So anyway, Pucci-licious is an amazing colour, but it probably could have done with a third coat, which I didn't realise until I had taken the photos. It doesn't seem patchy when I look at my nails, but the camera tells a different story. 

Also, my camera just couldn't capture this purple creme accurately. My photos all came out too blue. It is definitely more purple... And being a neon, it dried to a matte/satin finish, but I added a coat of Seche Quick Dry because I'm not a fan of that satiny look... 

I should have done a red and white look to celebrate the mighty Dragons win! :P

Oh and I was being so demented after the win, I broke my thumb nail. Snapped it right off.. Check out the carnage! 

Thankfully Mr Thumb never makes it into my swatch photos... :P Hope you are all having a great weekend! x

CND Night Factory - Urban Oasis and Teal Sparkle

Today I had to do a makeup job for a friend who was attending a wedding and I wanted my nails to look special, so I chose CND's new "The Look" Night Factory Duo for Fall/Winter '10.

The set consists of a dark teal creme polish, Urban Oasis, and a sparkly teal microglitter "effects" polish, aptly named Teal Sparkle.

Check out the swatches of this amazing duo after the jump!
