Models Prefer Beauty to Go nail enamels - Little Black Dress and Star Dust
Hi ladies! I've been neglecting the blog lately unfortunately as I haven't been in the mood to do much blogging. But I'm getting my mojo back slowly don't worry ;) I love a good bargain so I couldn't go past the Models Prefer Beauty to Go sets a while back. They have so many cute sets that are on trend and for such a good price! There are a couple of different colour combos and sets available but I picked up the Little Black Dress and Star Dust combo because I am loving the black and white toppers.
Star Dust and LBD!
Little Black Dress is a super opaque black creme that dries to a wax look finish. The formula applies really well and you could get away with 1 coat however I used 2 coats which is pictured.
It has the potential to be a one coater but unfortunately the brush is absolutely terrible! I found it way too thick and the shape is too squoval and it made it impossible to get a clean finish. These swatch pics are my 2nd attempt at trying to apply the polish! Dry time is a little slow too I found.
Star Dust contains black and white hex and bar glitter in a black base. I didn't know it was in a black base until I swatched it over white! It applies a little sparse but it's not too bad - I found swirling the brush around in the bottle picked up more glitters making it easier to get them on the nail. 2 coats is pictured over 2 coats of Little Black Dress.
Here it is over a few different bases so you can see clearly what the glitters look like. From L-R: OPI Alpine Snow, Models Prefer Little Black Dress, Rescue Beauty Lounge Concrete Jungle and Alpine Snow again.
Overall: I'm a little disappointed but LBD and Star Dust are a cute combination! I wish the brush was better so LBD could apply easily and also that Star Dust was in a clear base so I could apply it over pastel colours without the black tint. But for $5 it's not too bad!
Details: The Models Prefer Beauty to Go set in Little Black Dress and Star Dust are available from Priceline for $5.
Thanks for looking as always! =)

May/June 2013 hauls
Helloooooo! I thought I'd share my hauls for May and June with you all. I wasn't really been able to haul much in recent months due to my wedding but now I can do some hauling again yaaaaaaay =D I hauled mainly polish (what else seriously?!) of course!
China Glaze + pastels = MAJOR LEMMING so of course I had to get the Avant Garden Blooming Brights and Pastel Petals collections!! I love China Glaze pastels and these are just perfect.
I couldn't go past the gorgeous glitters and cremes in the Cult Nails Dance All Night collection and picked it up in the preorder sale and received a Wax That top coat free. I also picked up Nevermore which I've been wanting to get for ages and also Happy Ending as it was on sale hehe. I realised that I haven't purchased any Cult Nail polishes in 2 years!
I love the look of black and white glitters but hadn't added any to my stash yet so I picked up this cheap as chips glitter set from Models Prefer.
I've been stalking every Chemist Warehouse store near me and at work for sooooooooooooo long now for the W7 Sprinkles polishes and I FINALLY found them! Well I found 2 - Mosaic and Lava Flow - so I'm still on the hunt for Salt n Pepper. I have no idea why they're so hard to find!
A Pro Nail haul! I picked up China Glaze Texture Bump & Ground in May when I picked up the Avant Garden collections and then Color Club Almost Famous and OPI The Impossible when I went last week with Anita and Ange.
I love the white striper from the Kiss nail artist paint & stencil kit (you can read my full review of it here) and I've been needing another one but it's been so hard to find! I finally found it at Big W and on sale too woot.
I've been getting facials from Ella Rouge for the last few months and my beauty therapist recommended the HydroPeptide Anti-Wrinkle Dark Circle Concentrate. I've been on the hunt for a new eye cream and they had a 20% off sale so I decided to try it out. I haven't used it just yet as I'm finishing my Kiehl's one!
Hope you liked seeing my hauls for May and June! Thanks for looking as always =)
