Sally Hansen BLU

This is one of the polishes I bought just before Christmas from the Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Collection. I went back about a week later and all that was left were the orange and yellow polishes from this collection. A few weeks after that and there were none left. Luckily I got in right at the start :)

Sally Hansen BLU - Natural Light

This was three coats and i was quite surprised because I had been warned that these were quite sheer (although in saying that this is still the only one I have tried yet). I really like this blue. I couldn't find anything else like this in my collection. It took a little while to get used to the slightly longer brush (the stalk bit) but after that was fine. No clean up needed.

I'm looking forward to trying out some more from this collection. I think it really is a summer collection, as the colours are quite bright.

Don't forget my Zoya giveaway. Entries close tomorrow night.

OPI The show must go on

Two weeks ago I went and saw the movie Burlesque. I thought it was quite good to be honest. I am glad they picked a singer and turned them into an actor, as opposed to using a singer with some one else singing for them. Plus Cam Gigandet who plays the love interest Jack is amazingly hot. I recommend seeing just to stare at him. Even with the black eyeliner he wears in the club he is still super hot.

Here is The show must go on from the 2010 OPI Burlesque collection. It is only one of two polishes I got from this collection that were not the glitters.

OPI The Show Must Go On - natural llight

This is three coats and easy to apply. It is a great Red duo-chrome, with flashes of yellow and orange, and also has that glass fleck feel to it. I think its great, but there seems to be a few polishes out the like this with the same pairing of colours (e.g. OPI Crimson Carol and OPI Thanks so muchness - I think I need to do a comparison now)

Hope your all having a good weekend.

Color Club Pure Energy

Quick post for today. I have been super busy lately and feel guilty for not posting more recently. I had just managed to grow my nails to a good length when in one day they all managed to break :( and I always feel bad about posting pics with uber short nubbins.

I love the Color Club Electro Candy collection. It is one of my favourite collections, and doesn't contain a single colour I don't like.

Here is the blue polish from the collection.

Color Club Pure Energy - sunshine

This is a great medium shimmer blue, that has a neon blue/green/gold flash running through it. I love it. This is a collection of neons that you can wear any day and not feel slightly over the top in.

Nail Polish + Jewelery = Awesome!

Ginger Kitty (aka Tracey) is an amazing jewelery maker from America who uses nail polish to create stunning custom pieces of jewelery for each individual customer.

You can get custom made bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings, all made with your favourite nail polishes.

Tracey made two different braceletes in the colours I selected and then let me pick which of those two I wanted. This was all for US$29.95. And it took less than two weeks to arrive in New Zealand from the time I had selected which one I wanted.

This is what I selected:

It is made from a mixture of China Glaze Nova, Fairy Dust, Let's do it in 3d and black nail polish.
It was hard to capture in a photograph but it is holographic and sparkles like a rainbow in the sun.

I love it!

I cant wait to order more. You can check out the GingerKitty store on Esty here, or GingerKitty's Blog here.

Lots of Love

Color Club can not really do any wrong at the moment. They are on a roll.

It was announced the other day that the new summer collection is called Alter Ego and will be on sale in the Northern Hemisphere (you lucky ducks) from the 15th of February.

This is what Color Club had to say about the collection:Color Club lets you create high-fashion looks for every identity with Alter Ego,their latest collection of diverse, long-lasting lacquers!

The ‘Keep It Undercover Collection’ 7 piece salon pack includes Alter Ego, Secret Agent, Total Mystery, Alias,Ulterior Motive and Masquerading plus Vivid Top Coat (OMG very pretty DUO CHROMES!!!!!)

This collection is an extra six months away for New Zealand. But if you really cannot wait you can order them online from Transdesign.com

New Zealand is in the middle of summer at the moment, so currently the main collection being sold is the Poptastic collection. This collection has a total of 18 colours all sold separately in New Zealand for a recommended retail of NZ$16. (7 piece packs are not sold in New Zealand)

Recently Amazon stores have started stocking the Poptastic collection in New Zealand, so hopefully this will help make a name for Color Club in New Zealand.

Limited Releases of the Pardon my French collection and the Rebel Debutante collections are also available at the moment in New Zealand. These can be found in stores stocking the huge Color club displays (mainly in Auckland).

Pardon My French Collection

Rebel Debutante Collection

Australia has just announced a Color Club distributor. Artform Wholesale Pty is based in Perth and is currently getting their first supply of the Poptastic collection delivered. I am not sure what retail for Color Club in Australia will be.
