Savvy by DB Geometric Nail Art + Review

Hi Everyone! So I went to my nearest Priceline this week looking for some makeup and nail deals and I came across this stand of Savvy by DB polishes. They were $2.99 each. At first I thought they would be bad quality, but I bought them anyhow because I saw some Aussie bloggers post some good reviews about them. I bought the yellow which is called Pina Colada and the gold glitter which is called Ginger Ale. 

These polishes are fantastic! Such a good formula, very pigmented and has such a fast dry time. The yellow in the pictures is 3 coats, which I think this polish would need generally as the formula is a bit on the thin side, but still works great. I can't wait to get some more - any Aussies reading this should go to their nearest Priceline and stock up because these stands are getting a little empty!

Also, for you Australians, Priceline is now stocking Essence. Unlike Target, their stands are always stocked. Yay!

Now here to the pictures...



The gold in the pics have specs of purple glitter in - it is so pretty!

This is the packaging, I like it a lot. It is a round bottle with a black lid. Everything about these polishes is great.


Thank you for reading!

Nicki Minaj OPI Geometric Print Tape Mani




Hi!

I haven't posted for a while. I have a lot of designs coming your way.

Here we have a geometric print made by the colours from the Nicki Minaj OPI Collection. I used Fly for the tips, Pink Friday for the middle triangle and Did it on 'em for the bottom. I decided to do an accent nail on the ring finger with Metallic 4 Life.

This design was done with tape. It was my first tape mani and it turned out ok!




I have been thinking of making a youtube tutorial channel for the designs I come up with..but there are a lot more people out there better suited haha! Maybe in the near future.

Thanks for reading!

Wet n Wild Bite The Bullet with Dotted French Tip


Hiya Guys! 

I was surfing youtube today to see what nail art designs I could do and I came across this one. The youtube video that I was inspired from is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5mCpkb9J2g&feature=g-hist
I used Wet n Wild Bite the Bullet for the base, with  a matte topcoat on top. For the yellow I used Chi Chi Walkin on Sunshine. For the orange I used Misstaken by Missguided. For the blue/green colour I used Essence Viva La Green. Lastly for the red I used Essence Fame Fatal.




Let me know what you think! I know I love it, it's probably one of my favourtie nail arts I've done to date!

Nail Stamping with Bundle Monster Plates

Hi!

I recently purchased the lot of 21 Bundle Monster plates because I wanted to do more stamping. I think that they have very different and unique patterns on each plate and so far they have worked well!

Here is some stamping I did the other day. The green/blue colour is a polish by The Face Shop and the gold polished used to stamp is by Nails Inc. I will get the colour names and post them shortly.

Nicki Minaj Halfmoon

Hi!
I bought the Nicki Minaj collection minus the shatter on eBay as OPIs are really expensive over here in Australia - $20 per bottle- so I buy them online. I wanted to do a mani using one or more of my new polishes because I was so excited, I don't even think the collection is out here in stores in Perth yet.

Here is a half moon mani using Opis Pink Friday and Did it on Em. It was my first time doing a half moon mani, and I looked up how to do them properly and people on youtube were using the file reinforces as guides for the bottom. I didn't have any of these so I used french tip guides which were really fiddly. I gave up and did the rest free hand.



Here is a close up picture so you can see the half moon closer.

I hope you like it!

Essence 'Viva la Green' + Black French Tip

Hey guys, I haven't posted in ages! Mostly because I haven't done a mani worth posting...Anyways, Essence has come to Australia, and is available in Target stores. Yay! I was so happy when I saw the stand but it looks like other people had got to it first as there was hardly any polishes left.

Along with Viva la Green, I also bought 'Where the Party At?' and some nail tip guiders, hence why I did a french mani. Considering it was my first time using any sort of guide I think I did an okay job but it is a bit fiddly and will take a while to get used to.





What do you think? I love the colour and this Essence polish went on so smoothly and its a great formula for the price!!
