Insta-Glam

Today I have my picks out of the Glam Polish Insta-Glam  Collection. This collection was a collaboration between Glam Polish and some Aussie IG nail girls. I ended up getting five out of six from this collection. I first had three picked out, and then ended up getting another two a week later.

So, on to the swatches!

First up is "My BFF is Better than Yours!" designed by @ohmygoshpolish on Instagram.


Three thin coats with top coat.
I love this mint green with neon pink and holo squares, such an awesome combination! And as expected from Glam Polish, perfect application.


With matte top coat.
Macro!


Next is "Go Home Sky, You're Drunk!" designed by @xxlovelauren.


Three thin coats with a top coat.

This one is so unique and beautiful. I love the pastel purple base and neon green and holo glitters, it was different to what I was expecting but I couldn't stop looking at my nails! A bit of fishing was required to get the neon green glitters, but it was worth it.


With matte top coat.
You can better see the neon green in the macro.



 The next one is my favorite from the collection, and probably my new favorite glitter topper! This is "A Wedding Theme" by @Erinzi.


One coat dabbed over Essie "Angel Food."
 It is so beautiful I could cry! I love this one so much! Again, I couldn't stop looking at my nails (that happens a lot). This polish has pink, white, and gold glitters in a clear base. As the name says, it would be perfect for a wedding.


Jelly sandwich  with top coat.
I had to try a jelly sandwich with this one. I love jelly sandwich nails, especially with a matte top coat!

And the prettiest macro I have ever seen!  It is now the background on my phone!

The next two are the ones I decided to go back and get a week later, and I am glad I did.

This one is "Neon Nubs" designed by @tenlittlenubs.

Three thin coats with a top coat.

This one has neon blue, green and pink glitters in a light/bright blue base. So much prettier and brighter than I first expected. And I didn't have to do much fishing for the larger glitters.


An on the nail macro for something different.
This shows up  all the neon colours!

Macro bottle shot - All the colours!

Lucky last is "Strawbrie Fields Forever" designed by @strawbrie.

Three thin coats with top coat.

This pretty has holo pink diamonds and green dots in a pink jelly base. So cute and girly!  Perfect application, as always.

Macro! 


I am seriously in love with everything done by Glam Polish. the formulas are always perfect and so creative. Can't wait to swatch the rest of my untired Glam Polishes!

My nail care routine

Image
At one point or another I am sure that every nail blogger has had some sort of post where they describe their nail care routine, well now it's my turn. My poor nails have been a bit neglected. The cold winter weather and drying acetone are not helpful in trying to maintain nicely moisturized cuticles and fingers. My last post on here showed how bad the skin around my nails is, so while giving them the TLC that they needed I thought it might be fun to document my process then blog about it.

I use many different products from scrubs to lotions from day to day. Most of the time what I reach for depends on my mood. My routine isn't always the same either, it depends on how bad my nails are and the pampering time I have available.



Today's first step giving my nails a quick fine to get rid of any rough edges, then it is on to the cuticle remover. I don't often do this step but my cuticles have gone a bit wild so it is time for a touch up. I am using Sally Hansen Problem Cuti…

You're Never too Old to be Young by Glam Polish

Image
You're Never too old to be Young is a collection from Glam Polish featuring 12 fun new shades inspired by some beloved Disney songs from movies old and new. I love the theme of this collection. I am a huge Disney fan. I've been to Disney Land and Disney World in America multiple times and it really is the happiest place on earth. Disney movies have the ability to transport us to another time and place, to make us cry, laugh, and sing along. This collection is a sing along collection! Each shade is inspired by a song from a Disney classic. I ended up singing the songs as I swatched each polish, I'm sure there is no other way to do it! I have 6 of the 12 shades to share with you, so with out further delay, on to the swatches.

"In Summer" - A white crelly with a mix of periwinkle, orchid, aqua, and lavender glitter. Inspired by the song from Frozen, sung by the sweet, heart warming Olaf (watch it HERE). Who doesn't love Olaf?!  For my swatch I used two coats plu…

Scenario Assignment Nail Art

Image
I think I have briefly mentioned that I have been doing my Certificate III in Nail Technology (if you didn't know... you do now!). For one of my final assignments I had to use a nail template and draw a nail art design based on a scenario. The scenarios did provide some interesting inspiration, however, drawing my nail art designs on a paper template with coloured pencils is not my style of expressing my nail art ideas. Firstly, coloured pencils don't have the same application as nail polish (obviously). Secondly, doing designs on paper is entirely different to doing designs on nails, do I even need to mention curvature of the nail and polish pooling around the cuticles?

Here is a summary of the first scenario:  The client would like a modern design using candy coloured polishes. She is after a pineapple design with several small pineapples on the nail, rather than just one pineapple covering the nail.  The design must use at least four colours.

As I read the first scenario of…
