Kit nail tools that won't break the bank!
I'm embarrassed to say that some of the nail tools I use are quite old and in desperate need of an overhaul. The buffer and emery boards I use are more than 3 years old and my toe separators I purchased during uni so they're more than 5 years old! Don't worry I clean them after each use, they're just very worn out ;) So I was very excited to find a selection of cute nail tools from the recently launched Kit Tool Kit waiting on my doorstep a few weeks back for me to try out. The tools are high quality and best of all they don't break the bank!
What they say:
"Kit Cosmetics launches a new and exciting TOOL KIT range, filling the gap in the Australian market for high-performance yet super-cool beauty accessories.
TOOL KIT is a fun range of everything you ever needed for your bathroom cabinet or makeup bag. However it is not just about style and functionality, the Kit team has added Kit Tips to help you with your beauty regime. Add a quality finish with a touch of cool to your beauty routine.. it covers all bases of beauty with 22 super-cool accessories."
There are five nail tools in the range that will have your nail care needs sorted!
Kit nail clippers ($9.95) and Toe nail clippers ($14.95) are made from high quality stainless steel to give a clean and precise cut. This is a massive bad habit I'm about to reveal but when I'm lazy I succumb and use clippers to trim down my nails before filing. o_O Terrible I know but hey I'm lazy! These are one of the best I've used and definitely give a very clean cut.
Nail file duo ($4.95) has two handy nail files in pink and aqua and the nail care cube ($6.95) is great to pop into your handbag for on the go nail emergencies.
Toe separators ($5.95) are ergonomically designed and aren't like your normal foam separators - these are made from this really squishy material and are really comfy to use. You don't get those weird indents between your toes! However because they're made from a different material they don't separate the toes as well.
Overall: These are great nail care tools that work very well and are super affordable and stylish too. They are excellent basics for any beauty kit and I think they would make great stocking stuffers come Christmas time! There's a huge range to choose from that includes hair, makeup, brush and pampering tools too - you'll have a hard time choosing what to get!
Details: Kit Tool Kits available now exclusively at Kit Cosmetics and Mecca Maxima stores nationally.

Kit Cosmetics Viva La Color Chiquita Pink swatches and review
I have for you today one of the polishes from the limited edition Kit Cosmetics Viva La Color make up collection. The colours in the Viva La Color collection are inspired by Mexican delights and all things bright! The collection includes some very cute palettes and sets in gorgeous bright colours. I love me a good bright polish so I was very excited to be given the opportunity to try 2 of the colours! There are 5 full size polishes and a mini nail polish kit in limited edition shades featuring Kit's signature nail polish formula in the collection.
I'm going to show you Chiquita Pink today. Chiquita Pink is a gorgeous dark pinkish red shade. It's a gorgeous pink and because it's on the darker side works very well in Winter! The formula is fantastic so the polish just glides onto the nail. The brush is firm yet flexible and easy to handle. It dries to a semi matte finish and pictured is 2 coats with no topcoat.
Close up:
The only downside to this gorgeous pink polish is that it wears terribly unfortunately. The polish lasted barely 12 hours on me before I started getting tipwear and small chips! =( I think I may try a different base and topcoat combo next time I use it and make sure I wrap my tips properly.
Details: The Kit Cosmetics Viva La Color limited edition nail polishes are available now from Kit counters at Myer or online at Kit Cosmetics for $15.95.

Kit Cosmetics - Shop Loves Sunset gold NOTD
Hi ladies! How are you all going? Thank goodness it's nearly the end of the week! Here in Sydney we have a long weekend coming up to celebrate the Queen's birthday so I'm looking forward to 3 days of relaxing. I plan on doing some swatching, working on blog posts and squeezing in a spot of shopping and maybe a movie! Today I want to share with you a mani I did last week that I was intending on wearing to my interview with the World Square Fashion Insider. Unfortunately I couldn't meet with the Fashion Insider to talk trends and fashion (I was very disappointed!) but I still rocked this mani! I am loving coral this Winter and it's been so cold lately and I wanted something bright and cheerful.
I started off with a base coat of Color Club Vitabase Nutrient Nail Strengthener to protect my nails. I then used 2 coats of Kit Cosmetics Shop loves Sunset for all my nails except for my accent fingers. Shop Loves Sunset was a freebie with the May issue of Shop Til You Drop and is a gorgeous orangey coral creme. The polish is highly pigmented and very easy to apply.
For the stripes of glitter I used Art Deco nail art lacquer in Gold Glitter. I then added half pearls from Born Pretty Store and assorted coloured rhinestones and dazzlings. For my middle finger I used a gold butterfly water decal I picked up in HK last year and for my accent finger I used a coat of OPI Glitzerland and added 2 coats of OPI Bring on the Bling. I topped it all off with a coat of Poshe topcoat.
For my lovely Sydney ladies, don't forget that this Sunday 12 June is your last chance to win some great prizes in World Square's LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? fashion competition! The campaign is coming to an end this week so head on over to the World Square site for all the details. I love the look of the Silk sleeveless ruffle top in yellow from Oxford and I think the boy would look great in the navy blue‘Elvis’ shirt and the black 'Laser Cut Oxford’ shoes from MARCS =)
What colours will you be wearing on your nails this Winter? For the lucky international ladies I know it's Summer but do let me know what colours you love for the cold season! Thanks for looking as always ladies =)
