Christmas Nails

It has been fun creating Christmas themed nails. Of course they were all easy to create :)
Instead of doing single posts for each one, I've decided to compile them all here.

 For the first look, I used 2 coats of Milani gold 3D Holographic polish as my base colour.
I then applied the base colour and Australis Endless Star onto a sponge, 1 stroke of each, just touching. Moving quickly, I dabbed on the nails, moving slightly up and down as I went.
I finished with the snowman glitter top coat, which is clear with green and red shimmer. (no label, sorry, I bought it in a blog sale)






I just had to include another pic of the cutest Christmas nail polish!




A definite theme going on, with the gradient, sparkle and yet another adorable polish bottle! Using the same method as the previous look, I used Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant in a pale lilac shade for base colour and  Borghese Rapido in a deeper purple. I also placed some silver, holly design scrap booking transfers on my nails for that Christmas touch :)




I used a pearly white for my base colour. Using a nail art brush, I simply applied vertical lines with gold, red and blue coloured polishes. As you can see, I placed some coloured crystals to finish the festive look.

Not having much time on my hands Christmas Eve, I decided to use cute festive decals. Base colours for this look are a glittery gold from Blush-Amour, and Sally Hansen Dazzling, one of my favourite red polishes.

 I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and have a prosperous New Year
xx

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil

Image
I bought this Simple Hydrating Cleansing oil, actually 3 of them during a sale that Chemist Warehouse was having some time ago. Now I had been content using a mix of coconut and olive oil as a makeup remover, but I'd read such good things about this cleansing oil and I really wanted to try it for myself. Of course a 50% off sale at Chemist Warehouse at an already affordable price had me quick to order. Taken from Simple Skincare - "...our rinse off cleansing oil is made with 100%  pure grapeseed oil, which is light in texture and infused with skin loving ingredients such as vitamins A and E that leaves all skin types thoroughly cleansed, instantly hydrated and soft." The cleansing oil comes in a 125 ml plastic bottle with flip-top lid dispenser. I love the green theme on the packaging. The oil has a fresh slightly herbal scent. Being mostly grapeseed oil, this product is an oil of thin consistency. To apply, I simply massage a small amount into my skin, addi

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
