</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks Kristy for the feedback! I really like the effect of these two polishes! Hi-Res is an awesome glitter holographic polish with a lovely smooth finish, unlike some other glitters that are often grainy! Application for the two was a breeze and I felt that the Cherimoya polish cracked quite well! I didn't expect it to be as good as OPI's black shatter when I tried it, but was pleasantly surprised :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If anyone else has any suggestions on what polish they'd like to see next on my blog please leave a comment and I would be delighted to post it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
This is the first holographic nail polish I have worn and I love it so so much! At first when I put on the polish I wasn't too keen with it, but when I went into the sunshine or looked at it under a light I just couldn't help staring at my nails! Fashion addict is beautiful- and I'm proud to say that I was even able to capture this holographic wonder on my camera!!!<br />
<br />
Check out these pics!!!!<br />

And an update to my news that I blogged about in one of my <a href="http://nailartpolishandallcolourfulthings.blogspot.com/2011/07/polish-mayhem.html">previous blogs</a> - the seller has re-sent me Zoya colours Ibiza and Moxie after I emailed her about them being destroyed in transit- woohoo! What great customer service! :)<br />
<br />
So anyway, here is Zoya Jo combined with my very first flakie- Nubar 2010:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also got Nubar 2010 from Ebay - i'm really loving Ebay at the moment!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sorry some of the pictures are blurry, I was trying to get the flakies to sparkle. I love the extra effect that Nubar 2010 gives to Jo - a nice extra dimension. Jo is a great colour that is completely opaque in 2 coats, maybe one if you're super good at application! Do you guys like this combo? I am really loving blues and greys at the moment for nails, not traditional like reds and pinks which I am used to, but absolutely love how these colours look on nails!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And here is another swatch people- China Glaze Ahoy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know I keep saying 'this is one of my favourite colours' for each post I do, but there are just so many great colours out there!!! So yes I am going to say it again- THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE COLOURS!!!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The formula is a lot like china Glaze 108 degrees, and I do sometimes confuse them when they're in their bottles. The difference between them though is that Ahoy is a darker burgundy-red rather than a pink. But in some lights it does look like a dark pink rather than a red. I do love polishes that change with the light and you can't really define its specific colour. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In my last post I said that I aimed to do one at least once a week, but that was last sunday and already it is wednesday a week and a half later. So to make up for it I am going to do not one, but two blogs today :)<br />
<br />
I'd first like to tell you about my recent haul from an Ebay seller named R93 and her Ebay store Nail Polish Elegance. Much better customer service and postage delivery times than MBeauty Lounge, a little more expensive but absolutely worth it! This seller stocks many many polishes and related products and many brands. I myself picked up Zoya, China Glaze, OPI and Color Club off this seller.<br />
<br />
In total I bought 15 polishes!!!!!<br />
<br />

You may be thinking, but that's only 12 polishes, not 15. Well I also ordered OPI's Blue shatter which I forgot to photograph (oops) and unfortunately Zoya Ibiza and Moxie which I also ordered did not survive the freight over to Australia. They were completely shattered :( This is not the fault of the seller though, she wrapped the polishes so carefully. My package must have been extremely man-handled by the postal service. So unfortunately Zoya Ibiza and Moxie are still on my wishlist!<br />

I was very excited when my order arrived, especially for Zoya Harley. I have been very excited about trying a grey nail polish, and I must say I was not disappointed!!! Zoya Harley is one of my favourites of this order, as well as Zoya Jo which is a beautiful lavender blue.<br />
<br />
Here are some swatches of Harley:<br />

<br />
My favourite I think of the Island escape collection, 108 degrees in my opinion is a must have for any nail polish collection. As soon as I saw the first swatches of this colour I knew it had to be mine!<br />
<br />
A gorgeous shimmery pink slight flecks of purple as it catches the light, the formula is beautiful and is another 1 coater (which I do love).<br />
<br />
Sorry about my cuticles in this pic- my paint job is all over the place and I don't think I removed my last polish (Papaya Punch) very well either!<br />
But just to give you an idea of the awesome beauty of this polish, here are some pictures:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've read quite recently on other blogs that the dupe for this colour is OPI's Be A Dahlia Won't You, and I must say on looking at other people's comparisons they look EXACTLY the same- so whether you buy OPI or China Glaze there is no need to buy the other. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yesterday I tried China Glaze's Papaya Punch which I loved and looked awesome, but smudged it whilst it was still wet, so i'll have to do it again and hope to put a swatch up for you soon :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know the China Glaze Island Escape collection has been done HEAPS on other blogs, but it's new to me as I've only recently got these colours so I hope you don't mind reading yet another blog on this collection! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just received a package today of about 15 polishes from Ebay so that is another thing I will put up really soon- Uni is back now so I don't know how regularly i'll be able to post now, but my aim is at least once a week. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
I found out about these colours as part of the OPI red and white shatter release, as it was Spark de Triomphe and Rally Pretty Pink that they paired these two shatters with. Looking at the red and white shatters I was not totally sure whether I liked them- or at least enough to buy them, but fell in love with the polishes they were paired with. Upon googling a bit more I found that Rally Pretty Pink had a dupe- this being Zoya's Faye. I also read reviews on the two polishes to decide which one I should get, and heard many people saying that whilst being basically the same colour, Zoya's Faye was opaque in 2 coats, whilst OPI's Rally Pretty Pink was 3. This pretty much sealed the deal for me- Zoya's Faye it is!<br />
<br />
So here are my pictures of these two magnificent colours :)<br />
<br />

As you can see from the pictures, Zoya Faye is a beautiful rich plum colour, with gold highlights that shimmer with the light. Spark de Triomphe is my favourite though as it is just the most amazing glitter - beautiful colour and I couldn't believe that it was completely opaque with one brush stroke- no base colour at all. This polish is a beautiful sparkly golden colour with what I see as flashes of silver through it :) Both of these polishes are shown with 2 coats, no top coat!<br />
<br />
I am so glad that I purchased these polishes- couldn't be happier with them! I can definitely say that these are 2 colours that I will be wearing a lot! And don't they just go fabulously together? Why wear just one colour at once?!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading,<br />

<br />
P.S Just made an order at <a href="http://beautyjoint.com/">beautyjoint.com</a> - will definitely post some swatches up when my order arrives :DClairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10605228424521964552noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413822987041419072.post-22640282242990836842011-07-14T03:31:00.000-07:002011-07-14T17:21:34.949-07:00Shatter for Shatter DayAs I have been reading on OPI updates on Facebook, today is shatter day! (or at least I think it is, not really sure when it comes to the time difference :P)<br />
<br />
So I have sported Zebra nails!!!!!<br />
<br />
Ever since I bought black shatter I have been DYING to try it out over white- and I was certainly not disappointed!<br />
<br />
42 days ago I ordered some polish from a site called MBeauty Lounge. They had really cheap polishes with reasonable postage and OMG shipped to Australia! So I ordered the China Glaze Island Escape collection, OPI Spark de Triomphe, Zoya Faye (because I heard it was a dupe for OPI Rally Pretty Pink) and OPI's Alpine Snow (especially to try under my black shatter). <br />
After waiting about 3 and a half weeks I got slightly concerned, and decided to google reviews on this company- something I really should have done BEFORE I bought the polishes. As it turns out the reviews for this website were pretty terrible, with many people claiming they had not received orders and saying that customer service was very bad.<br />
<br />
Well after a stressful couple of weeks I FINALLY got MOST of my package- better than nothing as I was just about ready to write it off. I got all my polishes except China Glaze Electric Pineapple and Cha Cha Cha, with a note on the attached invoice saying 'credit' next to these polishes. Now I'm not sure what's going on because I have contacted MBeauty Lounge twice now with no response, and have not yet been credited on my account. Alas, receiving seven polishes out of nine is a lot better than zero!<br />
<br />
So my experience with MBeauty Lounge was not too bad, however, I would not be confident to shop there again, I must keep a look out for other sites with a better reputation.<br />
<br />
So sorry for the long story, but I had to explain how I got my hands onto the OPI Alpine Snow, and I am super excited to try out the other polishes I received- there will be swatches up of those beauties soon :)<br />

<br />
So have any of you had experiences with MBeauty Lounge?<br />
I'd love to hear some comments about good places to buy polish from :)<br />

It's called Pompeii Purple and I am in LOVE! This is a beautiful pink shimmer, and when caught in the light has an amazing purple refection to it. I also love the formula of this polish, just like the other OPI's I picked up (<a href="http://nailartpolishandallcolourfulthings.blogspot.com/2011/07/sister-fun.html">Strawberry Margarita, Ate Berries In The Canaries</a> and <a href="http://nailartpolishandallcolourfulthings.blogspot.com/2011/07/painting-within-lines.html">Koala Bear-y</a>) a solid 2 coater, with the possibility of getting away with only one coat!!!!<br />
<br />
I never really though of myself as a pink-loving girl, but I must say, when it come's to OPI's pinks, I find them irrisistable :)<br />
<br />
So without further ado, here it is: POMPEII PURPLE<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJvyIdsL8xDGCtSYwxShVNUoAOymlUpcHtcHzfcvhxt6E_NImBago_x8LeGTHrY1A9tfZBdtVMIG1LmMZ1PPWEoIPrJdtBtw8DiCJK_-QX5DWZpbW31wH5-8liWqOYDU4dzh-9YTw7aSyi/s1600/IMG_0790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJvyIdsL8xDGCtSYwxShVNUoAOymlUpcHtcHzfcvhxt6E_NImBago_x8LeGTHrY1A9tfZBdtVMIG1LmMZ1PPWEoIPrJdtBtw8DiCJK_-QX5DWZpbW31wH5-8liWqOYDU4dzh-9YTw7aSyi/s320/IMG_0790.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Below I tried BYS Black Satin to stamp with Bundle Monster plates- I'm not sure I like the look?! Maybe white would have been better? This polish is great to stamp with though!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurpN9XyuuPMLRboAbAApXC1l4yw0_YrNE8j9Qlsea6d5YB_wphyA0eRtpqGzQri-2uE-bNDySDBsGpG8e_ljkOBTmnd7io1UwbI3NKrE-Lefflnn_i1nPC7lGAoc8Tiwr-7rdwTeFjmJq/s1600/IMG_0800.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurpN9XyuuPMLRboAbAApXC1l4yw0_YrNE8j9Qlsea6d5YB_wphyA0eRtpqGzQri-2uE-bNDySDBsGpG8e_ljkOBTmnd7io1UwbI3NKrE-Lefflnn_i1nPC7lGAoc8Tiwr-7rdwTeFjmJq/s320/IMG_0800.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Then I tried stamping OPI's Strawberry Margarita over top - a good polish to stamp with, but not over Pompeii Purple, you can't really see the stamp at all!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjDZSbRqUkZvez2gJzqNaOfXU6IE4J1jxXoHvx9TtkzIg8HbF0Ufo3-kNHF1rTjr72SwsXbbdl1aLMVdorKCYSbZXGU-S1Apc4dkZBn1wsfmvUwJw5V3Lb5iV3IJ8fbirx1_DkerpVggmk/s1600/IMG_0839.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjDZSbRqUkZvez2gJzqNaOfXU6IE4J1jxXoHvx9TtkzIg8HbF0Ufo3-kNHF1rTjr72SwsXbbdl1aLMVdorKCYSbZXGU-S1Apc4dkZBn1wsfmvUwJw5V3Lb5iV3IJ8fbirx1_DkerpVggmk/s320/IMG_0839.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
And finally I tried OPI's Last Friday Night over the top and love the look! It reminds me of fairy bread! :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWhwjIci4A8LDA7h1A3Daf2dledUoTZ5FgshgWnIHtBOkkPbEvYS-xtXFHjXEySZtcpiud3TtYo2JLR1uy6ANR1V6t6sC86-LxeeuJ8yMtBUxQFFh-HLGmSfWyZ_FcD6P9koy1yJBemerI/s1600/IMG_0848.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWhwjIci4A8LDA7h1A3Daf2dledUoTZ5FgshgWnIHtBOkkPbEvYS-xtXFHjXEySZtcpiud3TtYo2JLR1uy6ANR1V6t6sC86-LxeeuJ8yMtBUxQFFh-HLGmSfWyZ_FcD6P9koy1yJBemerI/s320/IMG_0848.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
So in love with OPI polishes (especially pink)- i'm thinking I definitely need to save some more money and stock up on more colours. Do you guys have any suggestions on what polishes I should get? Would love some tips on awesome colours!!!!<br />

I must say that on initial encounters, it is not what I was expecting at all! As you can see from my earlier post, liquid palisade comes in a bottle that looks a lot like mascara. From unscrewing the lid you find a brush attached to the lid which is extremely thin (much like a nail art brush). The formula of the liquid was very thin and watery - I expected it to be much THICKER! Painting on the liquid palisade has to be done very carefully, especially if you are trying to outline the edge of your cuticles. As it dries it turns a purplish colour and once it is dry is able to be manipulated a bit. If you have made a bit of an error you are able to push the palisade up against the cuticle.<br />
<br />
So here's what it looks like on the nail:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip1QGeJM84E9eUDwBVG5kbHZDjgNM_-hAYd9oQV78bNxfrK0IJVl7AqCG01PKFmVFTlhpWVhHXcKLg_WbpsTWfEC0zE9ZnVrjPDrNh2qKbaelx_6Tx1Q6mhYX4m8AgRMk-4EFfjbVGw2sm/s1600/IMG_0858.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip1QGeJM84E9eUDwBVG5kbHZDjgNM_-hAYd9oQV78bNxfrK0IJVl7AqCG01PKFmVFTlhpWVhHXcKLg_WbpsTWfEC0zE9ZnVrjPDrNh2qKbaelx_6Tx1Q6mhYX4m8AgRMk-4EFfjbVGw2sm/s320/IMG_0858.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>A bit ugly I know! But it certainly does the job. As you might be able to see from this picture, the liquid palisade is not totally dry as it is still a bit pink around the outside of the nail where I have applied it thickly. When it is dry simply put your top coat on and pull the palisade off BEFORE the nail colour is completely dry. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ubJazbsTS4K1hR9OPc_Eb3yvLuAwjxct96fm7Kfjw2Xi-vHKASc34CAcv9o8LwNhSim_wJK1PcGK2NX1qpHzKJIlVoBzejOiUevGbzUlA2p-9tj7TLS6x4axf0y0VPwQdTsqu5aJagZk/s1600/IMG_0859.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ubJazbsTS4K1hR9OPc_Eb3yvLuAwjxct96fm7Kfjw2Xi-vHKASc34CAcv9o8LwNhSim_wJK1PcGK2NX1qpHzKJIlVoBzejOiUevGbzUlA2p-9tj7TLS6x4axf0y0VPwQdTsqu5aJagZk/s320/IMG_0859.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> This is the same nail with OPI's Koala Bear-y applied. I think the liquid palisade made my mani very neat and tidy- yay! As for the colour, this is one of my favourites in my collection! Such a beautiful formula, what you see here is only 1 coat. It is a gorgeous pinky-red.<br />
<br />

<br />
For those of you who haven't heard of this product is, its by Kiesque and is a pinkish liquid you paint on your nails for wherever you DON"T want your polish to go. So its perfect for doing french mani tips and nail art, and also for putting around cuticles to create flawless mani's. When you have painted your nail, you simply pull liquid palisade off your nail. In other words, its kind of like masking tape.<br />
<br />
Here's what it looks like:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb9FJh5D2vtOda4tsQyynOhw2HLXrU0AqButgIWhamMg3fcK8xH3P-fpdu6UiuyL9NAAO9J8AYWNVHMuI98OX5kfkOZ9ZHRyVp7b4KttO8LyPCXSS_iVGqiWAA2PA2iEqMr7qXcqedcRtY/s1600/palisade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb9FJh5D2vtOda4tsQyynOhw2HLXrU0AqButgIWhamMg3fcK8xH3P-fpdu6UiuyL9NAAO9J8AYWNVHMuI98OX5kfkOZ9ZHRyVp7b4KttO8LyPCXSS_iVGqiWAA2PA2iEqMr7qXcqedcRtY/s1600/palisade.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
You can only buy it from the Kiesque website as far as I know and it retails for about $22 AUD with free postage! Postage was awesomely quick and I am just so excited to try it out!!!<br />
<br />
I'll put up a few pics soon of my experience with this product, and hopefully this will be the key to really nice neat nails- this is a product I have been waiting for!<br />

I do plan to put up posts regularly, but went on holiday to see my sister for a couple of weeks, so as a result my blogging lacked! I did however, manage to do a few mani's whilst I was away (with the help of big sis :) ), and thought that I would show them off in this post. Whilst I was in Perth I picked up a few OPI colours (shockingly expensive), but so worth it! I really needed a few more polishes to get me going until some of my orders arrived from the U.S (which are taking AGES......)!!!!!<br />
<br />
So posted here are the colours Strawberry Margarita and Ate Berries in the Canaries, both by OPI.<br />
I love them so much that I don't think I could even choose a favourite!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGg38Alue-CjDRpTlRYMShUto4ENYE2JfmWII5ydNBC92ETe4fLAOQiu7QHUFTxgX3AQOGT9LL-HHYFWb3-hrfiKXCAmGqxmcvgUwsVqQtjPaW7DRtR5cAsu_Gz2e9xZaw7WYRDk1WS9Y/s1600/IMG_0755.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGg38Alue-CjDRpTlRYMShUto4ENYE2JfmWII5ydNBC92ETe4fLAOQiu7QHUFTxgX3AQOGT9LL-HHYFWb3-hrfiKXCAmGqxmcvgUwsVqQtjPaW7DRtR5cAsu_Gz2e9xZaw7WYRDk1WS9Y/s320/IMG_0755.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Above is Strawberry margarita stamped with white Konad polish using Bundle Monster plates. The glitter placed over the nail was BYS Silver moon sparkle. This is a gorgeous strawberry pink which I love and think goes very well with my skin colour. Its a very fresh summer-y colour and covers marvellously. This is 2 coats shown here, but you could get away with 1 coat very easily. This picture was taken in full sunlight. </div><br />

The 2 pictures above are Ate Berries in the Canaries, and once again I have used BYS Silver Moon Sparkle, which I placed on with a toothpick. Both of these pictures were taken indoors, and whilst the pictures make the colour appear a pinky-tone, it's actually a lovely plum purple. I love that this colour isn't too dark like I have experienced with other purples. This application was 2 coats, and just like Strawberry Margarita, goes on super smooth.<br />
<br />
I'm very happy with these colours, and whilst a bit pricy, I am so glad to have them in my collection. Yes I think I am becoming a very big fan of OPI polishes!!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading :)<br />

They had some really pretty colours in the Australis range, so I picked up the colours: Sweatpea, Peak-a-boo, Blue tiger and Knickers in a knot. I also picket up Sally Hansen's Complete care 4 in 1 treatment which acts as a topcoat, base coat, and nail strengthener. Yes I know that's only 3 things, and its meant to be a 4 in 1, but I threw out the packaging and can't remember what its other quality was!? It is a really good all- in -one polish though, which I am really happy with! I can feel that my nails have become stronger, and it adds a super glossy finish to your nails over a topcoat, and so super smooth to put on! :)<br />
<br />
So here's what I ended up with when playing with the colours- I did not have chance to try out knickers in a knot, but will hopefully put up a post next week where I use this colour (it is a gorgeous pink red).<br />
<br />
And yes once again my fingers have been stamped using Konad, I just LOVE it!!!!<br />
(All of my fingers have been top-coated with the 4 in 1)<br />

This is Peak-a-boo stamped with Bundle Monster designs using Konad special polish in white. This covers okay in 2 coats, however for a great finish, best to use 3. It is a nice pastel purple.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And last but not least..... Blue Tiger which has to be my favourite! Covers beautifully in one coat and is a gorgeous, slightly electric blue. I went over this blue with Sally Hansen's Fairy Tale Ivory just to add a little shimmer to it! I dotted the stamped flowers with a purple two-way nail art pen and I love what I have achieved! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am still practicing on the Konad stamps, and have tried my first attempt at a leopard mani. On the China Glaze website they have a fantastic tutorial on how to go about doing leopard print nail art which they demonstrated with their Island Escape collection colours. I am still waiting on an order to get the colours from that collection (can't wait!) but tried it with some polish I already have. I love the way the leopard print styles look when using bright bold colours!!!<br />
<br />
So here are my pics:<br />

The top thumb is painted with Chi Chi Check Out Chick and stamped with Konad special polish white using BM plate 02. The bottom thumb is painted using two way nail art pens I got off Ebay and stamped several times using BM plate 06.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just love Chi Chi's Check Out Chick - I have been using it a lot lately! It applies very smoothly and completely covers in one coat. For these pictures though I have used two coats just for good measure :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of all of these designs my favourite is the thumb I decorated using the two-way nail art pens.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is my first blog and I am very nervous!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not exactly sure how to properly blog, but hopefully I will get better in time!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've always loved colours and painting nails, but my addiction has only recently developed. I love painting nails with my sister and really started to become addicted when I was reading a magazine and read about OPI's black shatter. I was so excited! I started to search about polishes and nail art on the net and found a huge polish community- I didn't realise there were so many blogs about polish! Recently I have discovered the Konad nail art system and have been playing with two- way nail art pens. I have become so passionate about nail art I thought I would like to contribute my passion and hopefully meet others who also feel the same.</span></span></span><br />

I don't know much about the technical terms for describing polishes, but will try my best to upload some gorgeous pics of very colorful nail art that will hopefully inspire! :)</span></span></span><br />
