Essie Fall 2010



 Today I have swatches of three of the colours from Essie's Fall 2010 collection, which is officially being released tomorrow.

I have to say from the outset, all three colours applied so well! The formula is fantastic! I love all of them, but I especially adore Velvet Voyeur and Sew Psyched!

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!

Tips & Tales - Blog Wrap #1

 
MAC's Nail Trend F/W '10 launches in Australia next week. To buy or not to buy! ALU looks at some possible dupes to help us decide!
 
Michèle previews Les Kkakis de Chanel and I take back all those nonsense ramblings in my other post saying I wasn't feeling these colours! I was clearly in denial!

Why don't I own more Color Club colours? The Untamed  Luxury collection might change that!

This post makes me a sad duck..... Surely Man Bug has greater potential than this! *cries*

Will I ever own Across the Universe!?!?!

I am generally not a patient person, and this makes me even more impatient for my Models Own order!

And don't forget about my 50 Follower Giveaway!

Hope you all had a fab weekend! xo

Ulta3 - Lollypop Lilac

Quick post today. Have to go to my cousin's birthday lunch and then meet up with some friends tonight so I'm running around like a mad woman trying to get ready!

Ulta3 is an Aussie brand as far as I know and they are a cheap drugstore line. I bought a whole stack of their colours for about $20 a couple of weeks back. Lollypop Lilac is one I wore earlier this week.

I used Essie Matte About You over it. This is a bit of craptastic swatch and it doesn't look very flattering in the photo, but I didn't mind it to be honest. The formula was fantastic. Two coats for opacity and dried super fast. Not bad for $2!

Le Beauty Colour Chart

Today Konad-licious asked me how I knew which colours to order from Le Beauty because they don't have them on their website, and here is how I did it! When I emailed them a couple of weeks back, they sent me a colour chart of their nail polish range. The colour chart is clickable :D

For all the Aussie girls, simply chose your colours and send them an email and they will send out your order straight away! Enjoy! :D I'm not sure they ship internationally though :(
