My Birthday Skittlette Mani

Hi guys ! Hope your having a fantastic week so far . I certainly am :) As promised yesterday, I will be sharing what my #NOTD is today . I'm not a huge fan of cupcake , presents or balloon nail art (although I will be sharing such a mani for my blog anniversary next month, along with my 150 000 page view give-away, so keep an eye out for that . ) So I decided on a subtle girly mani for my 28th birthday today . So onto the pretty pics...  For this mani I used - Tip Top Fairy Dust Tip Top Drummer Girl Glitter Flower Water Decals Again, thanks again for each and every reader for their support so far in my blogging journey .. Really appreciate it.  Hope you all have a lovely day. xxx

Autumn Inspired Mani

Hi guys ! Can you believe its Wednesday already ? This week has flown by super fast.  Since Autumn has officially started in South Africa now, I think it was only fitting to make a fun autumn inspired mani , since it's my favourite season. I used the zip lock bag nail art method as I showed  HERE  to make some autumn coloured inspired colour blocks, and used a leaf scrapbook stamp to stamp out some cute little leaves.  The colours I used were all Tip Top colours. My base colour was Tip Top Nail Addict Coffee Bean, and the leaves were the following colours : Top Nail Addict Deadly Salmon Tip Top Nail Addict Smitten Tip Top Super Trooper Tip Top Gold Digger Tip Top Traffic Lights Tip Top Hot Fudge Tip Top Adrenalin Junkie So onto the mani - I really love the little leaves on my nails. :) I love wearing some more darker colours in autumn and winter on my nails , so looking forward to showing you guys tons of fun new polishes for the season soon. 

Pink Black and Silver Skittlette

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a great long weekend. Mine was super busy but in the end it was great .  Today I'm sharing another skittlette mani with you , this one I rocked over the weekend to a ton of activities we had going on. What I love about skittlette's like this is that they make me feel dressed up , without trying to hard, especially if you can't change your nail look throughout the weekend.  So onto the pictures - For this mani I used - Pinky - China Glaze Glistening Snow Ring - Tip Top Black Forest with a silver stud Middle, Index and thumb - Tip Top Pink About Us, my all time most favourite pink . Anyone do anything fun this weekend ? Any special plans this week ??

OPI Euro Centrale Mini Collection

Hi guys ! I hope everyone in South Africa will enjoy the public holiday today, and to all the other lovely ladies, hoping you will have an amazing weekend. I'm getting excited, in less than a week I will be turning 28 ! Whoohoo...  Today I'm sharing a little bit of an older collection with you guys - 4 OPI Euro Centrale Collection shades.  So let's see the polishes in the collection -  Can't Find My Czechbook  "I hope you take credit because I must have this aqua!"  This is a gorgeous aqua creme shade, I really love this colour on me. I used two coats for the swatch.  Suzi's Hungry Again  "Thank goodness there are zero calories in this warm and yummy pink!"  This is a bright almost neon coral coloured pink. Usually I'm a fan of pink based shades but I don't love this colour as much as I hoped I would.  I used two coats for the swatch. (Although a third would probably have been better ) You're Such A Buda

Maybelline ClearSmooth All in One Shine Free Cake Powder

Hi guys ! Hope your having a great week so far. Mine has been super busy , but no complaining.   Today I will be sharing my thoughts on the Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One Cake Free Powder. I'm in the shade Light (the lightest colour .. ) but there are 9 shades in the range..  The new Clear Smooth All in One Cake Free Powder does the following : Controls Shine Conceals flaws Smoothes Even Mattifies Perfect tone SPF 25 ' So let me share my thoughts on this powder : First off... I love the size of this little set. Its about the same size as my phone , so this will make it super easy to pop into your office bag or hand clutch . It also had a decent size mirror ... Which makes this very handy for a quick touch up during the day . I also like that this comes with an applicator sponge ... Although you can still use your normal face powder brush too.  Secondly ... I like the fact that this powder has an SPF 25 too ... I love to know the products I use has

China Glaze : Crinkled Chrome Iron Out The Details

Hi guys ! Hope you had a fun weekend. Mine was busy but still super fun. Sorry about the lack of posts last week too , life got a little crazy busy .  So onto the polish . Last year China Glaze came out with a new line of texture polishes that was not only texture, but had a chrome look to them as well. I know a lot of people doesn't like the look of this texture.. As it might look like you just polished your nails and went to bed and woke up with them all wrinkly and ugly .. But I'm really liking this texture a lot. Especially since it's so shiny and only need one coat - making this polish dry insanely quick.  The wear time isn't too bad too, this is still my #NOTD since Thursday evening and so far no chips or cracks in the polish yet , and I'm super rough on my hands. So that makes me very impressed. So onto the photos - So what are your thoughts about this China Glaze range ? Love it or leave it ? Personally I really love it.  How w

Grey Skittlette

Hey guys ! Hope you all had a fun weekend. Mine was nice and relaxing for a change.  Today I'm another skittlette with you . Last week I got hold of a polish that has been on my lust list for over a year now when I popped into Deschem - Essence Grey-t to be here. And I couldn't wait to start using it , especially with the grey and rainy weather we have been having.  So onto the pictures - For this mani I used - Pinky - China Glaze I'm not Lion Ring- Tip Top Black Forest with a gold triangle stud Middle, Index & Thumb - Essence Grey-t to be Here I'm seriously in love with this mani .. (And with the rainy weather in JHB  ) ...  How was YOUR weekend ?? 

Revlon Chalkboard Nails

Hey guys ! Hope everyone has had an amazing week. I loved the rain we had most of the week but so glad we had so much sunshine yesterday . Was so nice to have nice summery weather again. Today I'm sharing some more of the Revlon Chalkboard nails with you .Again these polishes come with a dual ended polish which gives you everything to create fun nail art. The one side is a black matte polish , and the other side a pastel matte striper polish for creating fun designs.  For the Mani's today I used one coat of the black chalkboard polish , and the striper brush included for the fun designs I did.. Again, since this polish was designed to be matte, I decided to keep it that way. You can always use a matte top coat over the design to prevent the polish from chipping too fast.  So onto the beauties...  First up is Homecoming...  Homecoming is a gorgeous soft lilac shade . This is one of my favourites and I can see myself using this one a lot in the future. N
