Where in the World - Day 17 Singapore

I remember visiting the Orchid Gardens in Singapore, so that's what I came up with:

A Blue Singapore Orchid.

Pick the odd one out!

Recently I was going through my Helmer, making room for some new goodies,
and I noticed some similar polishes - here are some quick comparison swatches.

(All polishes swatched in the order of the bottles, 2 coats unless noted)

Violet:

L-R: ulta3 allure; Maybelline Color Show Amethyst Ablaze; Mode Blue Steel

ulta3 and Maybelline are close, but the opacity is different (ulta3 needs more coats). 

Announcing Australia month!

It's summer Down Under! What does this mean for the blog?

As some of you might know, Australia Day is January 26,

so I decided to spend a bit of time this month showcasing the Australian brands that I love!

I know many have heard of Picture Polish and Ozotic (great brands I've heard, but out of my price range);
but I wanted to focus on the brands that are more affordable, as well as showing Aussie indies.

We have many talented ladies, who make incredible polish!

So stay tuned this month for special reviews!

Cheers))

Showing my 'stache - Warm Metallics

This month is coming to an end soon, but I still have a few more 'stache posts!!!

Moving on to "warm" metallics today!

Showing my 'stache - Orange & Coral

This next part of the series is a surprising one - for me anyway!

I have a whole lot of orange and coral nail polish!!! Why? How? - No idea!

I only ever wear it on my toes, but it' would be a great way to add a pop of colour 

to a stamp on my nails (maybe I should try it LOL)

Showing my 'stache - Red

Time to show you my true colours yet again.

As you can see the colour of the day is RED!

Classic yet  modern and very versatile!

Where in the World - Day 13 Netherlands

Today I have yet another stop to share on the worldwide challenge adventure!

I used this image as my reference for the design:

It is also my first attempt to create a splatter effect, without the mess))

When bloggers meet up (aka EPIC HAUL)

Yesterday I had an awesome experience of meeting up with a fellow blogger - Mai from Nanna Nap! 

It was so much fun!!! Amazing to be able to talk face-to-face about the stuff we write and read about (although she did call me a "crazy enabler" LOL). 

As you would expect, the day was spent hunting polish and chatting))) 

Original picture

We found some fantastic polishes and I had my very first LUSH store experience!

Where in the World - Day 11 Hungary

For the longest time I did not know what to do for today's country, until I read that the Rubik's Cube
was invented in Hungary. As soon as I read that I knew what my design would be!

Where in the World - Day 5 Poland

Horray! A country I have been to and a place I visited - Szczecin! It's a lovely city on the Oder River and is close to the Baltic Sea. I welcomed 2004 NY there while visiting family friends. That evening we went to listen to a classical music concert, so I thought I would recreate the new  Philharmonic building:

Doesn't it remind you of an iceberg or maybe an icicle, or a crystal?
