Update on Shellac and Giveaway

Today is the last day to enter my 300 Followers giveaway. Click here to go to the post about this to enter.

My shellac is gone. I took it off last night. It was a really pretty colour but it had chipped on all but 2 fingers. I think it is my nails, because apart from my experiences everyone else I know has found it great and really long lasting. It is a shame that it doesn't seem to like me much. I have tried it three times now, but really don't want to spend the $60 each time to get it, if it is going to chip on me. I didn't take any pictures of what it ended up like because I didn't want to give it a bad rap, when I know it does work well on many others.

Luckily it is sunny today (first time in about 3 weeks), so I'm trying to get a lot of swatches done.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

OPI Last Friday Night

On Saturday we managed to find a Farmers that actually had some of the Katy Perry polishes left in stock. These are selling for $25 each, so luckily I got mine ages ago online.

Here is Last Friday Night from the much anticipated and sold out Katy Perry Collection.

OPI Last Friday Night - Sunshine

OPI Last Friday Night - Shade

This is three coats.. Slightly thicker than I thought it would be. Light blue jelly with 2 different sized blue/silver/rainbow glitters. Not great alone if you don't like visible nail lines, but great as a top coat.

The Katy Perry collection was the first to have the shatter polish as part of the collection. All four polishes were designed to be layered with Black Shatter.

OPI Black Shatter over OPI Last Friday Night

I am still wearing my shellac at the moment and it has been horrible weather here all weekend so I haven't managed to get a photo of it in sunlight yet. I do have a couple of little chips that I am not too happy about. My salon gives a one week free touch up, but I so cant be bothered going all the way there to get them fixed up. I'm getting a bit bored of the colour and cant wait to try out some of my new un-trieds (Color Club Starry Temptress is calling my name). I'm thinking I might be able to make it to the end of this week before I have to remove it - It just seems a waste when it costs so much.

Spotted in NZ: Orly Precious

I failed.

I broke my no buy.

Me and Lisa went out to the movies and before it started we went shopping. Not a good idea when on a no buy with your best friend who also loves nail polish as much as you do.

Farmers had a full display of the new Orly Precious collection.

In my defence Farmers was selling Orly polishes at buy one get one free. How can you turn that down? We both got a bottle of Royal Velvet each.

Hope your Easters are going well.
