Breast Cancer Awareness Mani

Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday. How was your Monday ?? Did you have a nice weekend ?  Today I will be sharing my first Breast Cancer Awareness mani with you guys - as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As always PinkDrive has a few great options on their site to donate. They have such amazing brooches this year you can buy to support the cause - and let's be real who can't do with a pretty brooch for a great cause ??  As I always try to donate to Breast Cancer Awareness causes  , I did a matching mani to show my support. There is also quiet a few brands that bring out a "PINK" version of products and donate a percentage to Breast Cancer Awareness causes, if you can try and support them.  If you would like some more info on PinkDrive , I'm including all their social media links : http://www.pinkdrive.co.za https://www.facebook.com/ ThePinkDrive So onto my first Breast Cancer Awareness mani for 2016 -  For this mani I used : W...

I HEART YOU

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! How was your weekend ? Mine was actually pretty nice and relaxing... Except for the JHB heat ... Seriously.. It's not even December yet.  I few weeks ago I shared a shot of a mani I wore using some awesome  We Heart Nail Art  heart swirls vinyls. These vinyls makes nail art super easy , it's really just sticking on the vinyl... Painting over it , gently taking it off ... and voila - EASY PEASY and super gorgeous nail art in minutes (okay not minutes... your base colour has to dry first before you can even use the vinyls ... But you get the basic idea there ) I will be posting a little tutorial this week using some vinyls too, so if you are not sure about how to use them stay tuned for that . I started off with my base colour - Tip Top Milkyway. After it was dry ( I waited about 20 minutes ) I applied the heart vinyl - painted piCture pOlish Allure and removed the vinyls with tweezers. Top coated and had a gorgeous fun mani. So ont...

Picture Polish - Minty

Hi guys ! Happy Monday ! Hope you had a great weekend. First off all , sorry for being gone for a little bit. Unfortunately life sometimes get's in the way ... BUT ... I'm very happy to finally have some time to blog a bit again. And it's October - Yeah ! I will most certainly have a few Breast Cancer Awareness Tutorials & Halloween Nail Art looks on the blog this month . Today I'm sharing another awesome piCture pOlish with you guys - piCture pOlish - Minty .  piCture pOlish Minty is a gorgeous minty green polish with little red and white hex glitters.  The formula on this polish is a little trickier ... But the colour is soooo gorgeous that the little effort pays off. I would recommend you use thinner layers with this polish , and give it a little drying time in between layers. I used 2 coats of piCture pOlish Minty in the swatches below.  So onto the photos -  We    ♥ Nail Art is the exclusive South African retailer for piCture ...

My three picks from the New Tip Top Range

Hi guys ! Hope you had a great weekend ! Mine was pretty busy, it's my little guy Alex's birthday this week Sunday, so was busy getting the last party goodies. A little earlier this month, I popped into Clicks after the lovely Desle shared a photo on Instagram HERE  (if you are not following her already, then pop over and follow her too!) of some new Tip Top polishes. They had a 3 for 2 special.. So I picked up three of their lovely new glittery polishes. These look like indie polishes , and it's such a nice surprise to their collection. Sadly, Tip Top is being discontinued, so if you like any of these shades... RUN !! to Clicks and stock up on these beauties. I only got 3 of the 6 in this collection, there is a purple, orangey red and a black one too.  So onto these beauties - Tip Top Milkyway - This is a gorgeous white polish filled with some colourful glitters - yellow, green , orange, light blue, dark blue and red.

Revlon Pebbled Texture - Moroccan Oasis & Tahitian CoastMoroccan

  Hi guys. Hope you are well. It's FRIDAY... and raining in JHB ... Yeah..  And Christmas is getting closer too... my favourite time of year. So today I'm sharing to GORGEOUS glittery polishes from Revlon Pebbled Texture collection.  I got two of the 8 shades to show you. These are perfect for the Festive season , and holiday parties ... Or just chilling next to the beach with. These are PACKED with glitters, and are fully opaque in 2 coats.  First up ... Moroccan Oasis ..  And Tahitian Coast..  As I mentioned, since this is a VERY dense glitter polishes , they do have a texture. Revlon also sells a Matte top coat , that works perfectly with these polishes... That way they stay matte and your polish stays on better too. Removal .. As with any dense glitter polish.. Takes a little bit of work. I would recommend you use the foil method to remove these polishes.  These retail for R99,95 at leading pharmacies and most retailers ....
