The Haven Collection by Powder Perfect

The Haven Collection by Powder Perfect combines two of my favourite things, pastel colours and holographic finishes. This collection is a tribute to the special bond and loving relationship between a mother and her child. I love that pastels were chosen for this collection, it seems to be a perfect fit for a mother's gentle love and a child's soft touch. All of these polishes had a wonderful easy to work with formula. For each of my swatches I used two thin coats plus a glossy top coat.

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…
