Pink & Purple Dots

Hi guys ! Hope you are having a great week so far. Mine has been super busy so far.  Today I'm sharing a fun blue skittlette with you. For Christmas my brother got me a MoYou stamping plate - MoYou Sailor Collection stamping plate 07 . (did I mention I have the COOLEST brother ever ??? )  I loved all the designs on the plate, but the first one I tried out was this cool swirly design. I just have to say these plates are EXCELLENT quality . I will be getting a few more soon.  For this mani I used - Pinky - OPI Liquid Sand Get Your Number Ring and Middle Finger - OPI Alpine Snow stamped with Essence Black stampy Polish topped with China Glaze Fairy Dust ( I did mention how obsessed I am with Fairy Dust ) Index and Thumb - OPI Can't Find My Czechbook t opped with China Glaze Fairy Dust . So onto the nail look - I hope you like this blue skittlette look as much as I do. I really can't wait to show you more of the looks I created using this a

Hi guys ! Hope you all had a stunning weekend. Mine was busy , Alex's birthday is Saturday and I'm a busy body planning all the details... Today I'm showing you a skittlette mani I did using the Revlon 3D For Jewel Appliques Wild Flowers . For this mani I used the set called Brocade Garden , this is a gorgeous pink girly flowery design.  The appliques doesn't dry out as these aren't made of nail polish. The strip sizes are also pretty versatile (I  have small nail beds and struggle to find sizes that fit usually ) but didn't have any issues here. The design also has a bit of a 3D effect with the dark pink flowers, which is pretty cool . The set comes with 16 strips , so enough for a full mani or use as accent nails like I did. I found these pretty easy to use . Just be careful if you want to top coat these beauties... Seche Vite and quick drying top coats don't blend well with them. But any normal top coat will work perfectly. I wore this look for thre

Hi guys ! Hope your having a great week so far . This week has really flown ! As I mentioned earlier this week, today I will share some of my favourite nail items for at work (and at home ) . These are products that work amazing on me , if you have an awesome hand cream you love, feel free to give me a few suggestions,I always love to hear about new products. So enough about my rambling, let me get to the goodies.  1 & 2 - Oh So Heavenly Waterless Hand Cleansers  Here I am not to picky about the scent, I love how you can use this on the go and I always carry some in my bag . You never know when you might need to freshen up and won't be able to quickly wash your hands. (They retail for around R9 each ) 3 ) Essence Gel Nails At Home Super Rich Hand and Nail Cream -  First off, I REALLY like that these are budget friendly. (About R20) This cream is nice and moisturising and absorbs really quickly . For me this is another huge bonus, as I can't sit and wait for han

Hi guys ! Hope you had an amazing weekend ! I was so glad about the little cooler weather yesterday, seriously the heatwave wasn't the most fun thing ever.  So since most of you been back at work since last week, I decided to make a special post about some gorgeous goodies for your hands and nails this week to get you back in the work spirit . (Actually who am I kidding no one wants to be back. )  I know most of you can't wear crazy bold colours to work, so I've put together some of my favourite nude nail polishes for you . All of these are amazing formula wise, and are all my my personal favourite for work too.  All these polishes has a pretty decent formula, and I used two coats of all the polishes shown below. (Except on the Seche colour one, that was a 1coater)  So here's my 12 favourite nude polishes - 1) Loreal Rose Bagatelle  A gorgeous rose pink colour . I love the wide brush and how perfectly the colour suits me. 2) OPI My Vampire is Buff This is

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a decent week . It's weekend again ! Whoohoo ! I'm really not liking the heatwave currently happening... Bleh !Anyone got any fun weekend plans ?? Today I'm showing you one of the Sally Hansen Sugar Coat polishes. These are their e textured range of polishes. The first colour from the range that stood out for me was Bubble Plum (seems I'm a huge fan of purple nail polishes lately .. lol ) .  Bubble Plum is a gorgeous medium purple texture nail polish. The formula on this polish seemed a little harder to control than other texture polishes I've tried. For the swatch below I used two coats of Sally Hansen Sugar Coat . Another downside though .. The polish started getting some major tip wear after day three, and from there it just went south really quickly and started chipping really bad. I don't normally wear polishes that long, but since I was in "holiday" mode when I wore this, it was a little disappointing especi

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine wasn't the best of weekends, for once I was glad for it to be Monday. Moving on to my nails, I got another fun mani to share with you today using some more  Born Pretty Store  water decals.  This time I used some fun kisses and heart inspired mani using THESE  cute water decals. The design I'm showing today used the YB-001 set .  The decals are so easy to use and the designs are really fantastic. I love the impressive detail in the water decals, something I would never be able to draw by hand . This design will really be PERFECT for Valentines day too.  Here's how they work -  First take of the little plastic film from the decals . Simply cut out the design you love . Get a glass of room temperature water . Taking a pair of tweezers, lightly the design in the water . Leave it there for about 10 - 20 seconds and then using the tweezers take them out  Gently slide the white backing off . Using the tweezer

Hi guys ! I really can't believe its weekend already ! This week has really flown by . Today I'm bringing another beauty post for you . When I first started blogging, they were weekly features , and I really wanted to bring them back . They wont be weekly features anymore, but more of an occasional post. Today I'm sharing some gorgeous Revlon Lip Butters with you . I got one from a newer range to review a while back, and instantly fell in love. When I went to Clicks last week, I found these ones on sale (R39,95 ) and picked up a few more. So today I will be sharing the 4 colours I picked up with you . I got Sugar Frosting, Gumdrop, Creamsicle and Sweet Tart.  First off - The formula on these beauties are AMAZE-BALLS ! I really struggle to find lip products since I'm really sensitive to most lipstick and lipbalm brands, so I was really impressed that these worked perfectly on me. I found them SUPER moisturising and the colours are sheer but buildable which I lov

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is having a great week so far.   Today I'm sharing another water decal mani with your from the  Born Pretty Store  with you.  The decals instantly made me think of Snow White, especially the "Evil Queen" looking lady and the gorgeous lipsticks in the mirror.  The decals I used was YB-004 from  THIS  link, and I used the Evil Queen, lipstick in the mirror and a lipstick mark decal for this mani.  . The decals are so easy to use and the designs are really fantastic. I love the impressive detail in the water decals, something I would never be able to draw by hand . Here's how the decals looked this time round - Here's how they work -  First take of the little plastic film from the decals . Simply cut out the design you love .
