Glitter Gal Marine Blue

There was a tiny little bit of sun yesterday so I quickly swatched Glitter Gal Marine Blue from the 3D Holographic collection. I can not wait for summer so I can wear more holographic polishes.

Glitter Gal 3D holographic Marine Blue - Sunshine

This is a medium blue. This was two coats. Unfortunately the holo-ness of this polish didn't transfer well into the photographs, as it is much more visible in real life. The holographic particles are linear and form rainbows in a line, as opposed to scattered all over the place. The polish was easy to apply, even though they are in little bottles (9mls). The brush is still a decent length to make application easy. Dry time was quick. I find holographic polishes don't take as long to dry as regular polishes.

Lots of Love

Glitter Gal Not Another Red

Glitter Gal truly is Australia at its finest.

Glitter Gal Not Another Red - sunshine

OMG! These polishes are AMAZING!!!!
Even compressed these pictures show how amazing the polish is in the sunshine.

These are only 9ml polishes and look teeny tiny next to a regular sized polish, but lets be honest - who uses a whole bottle of polish up anyway. The brush is still a good size and length and makes the polish easy to apply. I didn't need any clean up after this.

These are now being sold in New Zealand on trade me, or through the email polishqueennz@gmail.com.

Polish hunting in Melbourne

Chris and I booked our trip to Melbourne ages ago to see Tim Minchin play with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. If you have not herd of Tim google him and be prepared for a laugh. He is a genius.

My plan was to shop - and of course that included shopping for nail polish. I was mainly looking for Australian brands that are unavailable in New Zealand. This included Glitter Gal, Illamasqua and Ozotics pro polishes.

We flew into Melbourne on Thursday morning. Out hotel was in the middle of town and right opposite a giant Myer and David Jones.

Myer was up first. They recently opened an Illamasqua section there and this was my first stop.

Illamasqua polishes retail for AU$34 each. I bought a bunch for Lisa (the other one) but only got myself Baptiste as I was finding it hard to justify that much money on one polish.

I also found Make Up Store polishes in Myer. These are AU$26 each - so again I only brought one. Madeleine which is a nude bronze holographic polish. (Pictures of these down further)

Next door to Myer was a giant David Jones store. This had the biggest display of OPI I have ever seen in my life.
This stand was double sided and surrounded by other littler stands full of OPI. These were retailing for AU$19.95 each. They had the new Texas collection and the Katy Perry collection (although half of these colours were sold out).

In Australia the 2007 Japanese Exclusive Yokohama Collection is part of the core line.

Left to Right - Bay Bridge Sunset, Penny for your Thoughts, Baby Blue, Pinkerbell, Vintage Violet, Sweet love at the Ferris Wheel.

I brought 6 more of these and now have a couple of double ups. (If anyone is desperate to own Baby Blue or Bay Bridge Sunset send me an email).

Chadstone mall was my next stop. Here I discovered Inglot. We don't have Inglot in New Zealand. I loved the little shop they had. I got a pallet of four gorgeous shimmer eyeshadows (you get to pick your own colours) for AU$40. I also picked two polishes - a purple and a green - unfortunately these only have numbers and not names.

Left to Right - Make Up Store Madeleine, Illamasqua Baptiste, Inglot 319, Inglot 833

Lastly I found some Nicole by OPI in a random Hair Care shop in the center of town. These were $14.95 each.
Left to Right - Nail It! (Sportsgirl) Iris, Nicole by OPI Love your Life, Nicole by OPI Blue Lace, OPI Its Totally Fort Worth it, OPI Austin-tatious Turquoise

On the way through customes at the airport they had two OPI polishes for AU$25 so I picked up the only two polishes from the OPI Texas collection I was interested in.

So 15 polishes later I am a lot poorer and still don't have any Glitter Gal or Ozotic pro polishes. I tried so hard looking for them. Chris was super sick of polish hunting by the end of three days and I was getting depressed because I had run out of money and had no luck finding the Australian brands I was looking for.

Swatches will come later once I have some spare time. Hope you are all doing well!

Lots of Love
