piCture pOlish Shocked

Hi guys! Just a quick post today to show you a polish I wore last week. :)

Shocked by piCture pOlish is a hot pink jelly with their signature scattered holographic shimmer. {Or at least the shimmer is something they're very known for!} 
It's a little sheer so I used 3 coats + 1 coat of top coat for the manicure. 
Shocked is a collaboration shade with fellow South Aussie girl, Sarah Claire from Shatter Me Claire! :)

Rudolph Nail Art featuring B Squared Lacquer

I've been so busy lately, but I had to make some time to do some more Christmas nail art before the season is over. I have lots of ideas and lots of Christmastime polishes to use so I have to get a wriggle on!

Today I have a very quick & easy Christmas manicure to share with you, also featuring a new indie polish.

On all the nails except my ring finger, the base colour is Rimmel's Acid House which is one of the new-ish Kate Moss shades. It's a beautiful shimmery dark green.

Over the Rimmel shade I've used B Squared Lacquer's Glitzy which is a beautiful gold glitter! It has a whole bunch of different sizes and shapes of holographic gold glitter including stars. {I actually used one of the stars in this for the tree in my Christmas Cuties nail art.} I have more polishes from B Squared Lacquer to share with you very soon so keep your eye out for that! :D

For my little Rudolph, I used Rubi Taupe, Essence Red Ahead, China Glaze Winter Berry and Ulta3 Black Satin.

Let me know if you might be interested in a quick video tutorial for my Rudolph buddy. :) It's super easy but maybe somebody would like it.

I hope to show you the rest of the Christmas & New Years polishes from B Squared Lacquer before the end of this week! :) Stay tuned for that.

piCture pOlish Friday #4: 'Whimsy'

Hi there! I have the 4th and last piCture pOlish Friday for you today. :) You can see the other posts here: {1, 2, 3}.

Today I have Whimsy to show you. Whimsy is a collaboration shade with Neverland Nail Blog. {Gotta say - I had never heard of her blog until I searched it to do this post and I love it! Especially her Disneyland Engagement Photoshoot - HOW CUTE! That is like my dream come true.}

Whimsy is a beautiful baby pastel blue, with a strong green/gold shimmer through it. It applied beautifully. So smooth and lovely.

I was happy with the opacity in two coats, but it was a little patchy so I added a thin third coat. It was still a little patchy after the third coat, but it is such a beautiful colour that I don't mind. I love baby blues. ♥

So preeeeeeeeetty. :)

Thanks for reading my last PP Friday post! Don't forget to check out the other ones if you haven't seen them already!

And thank you sooo much piCture pOlish for sending me these four shades. ♥

KBShimmer 'Myth You Lots'

KBShimmer is a brand I'd never really been that interested in until recently. I'd seen their polishes around many times but none of them really called my name; and I had no idea where I could buy them from anyway.

Recently I started seeing their newest collection popping up everywhere. And I was suddenly like 'ok, I gotta get me some of these'. I saw their Winter collections swatched by Marta @ ChitChat Nails and immediately had to buy a couple. KBShimmer doesn't ship internationally so I grabbed them from Harlow & Co, polish distributor based in Canada that ships internationally. A lot of the polishes from the Multi-chrome and Multi-chrome Holo collections were sold out but I was able to grab two that caught my eye. These collections are ultra shifty multichrome / holographic amazingness. I bought one from either collection. I'll be showing you the Holo one today. :)

These are also the first nail photos I've taken on my new camera! They're not the best, so bear with me while I get used to my camera. :)

Myth You Lots is a multichrome holo that shifts from a purple-y blue to a burnt orange/gold, with perhaps a smidge of gold in there, with a linear holo sparkle.

I never used to be into duo/multichromes. About a year ago I probably would not have even looked twice at this polish but it's weird how your tastes change. I really like multichromes now, if they're a nice colour combination! I couldn't stop staring at my nails when wearing this colour! It looked like a totally different polish under every different lighting situation I was in! Sooooo cool.

I wore this polish for 48 hours. :o That rarely happens! It started to chip about halfway throughout the second day, though. So please excuse any chips you see in the photos!

Thanks for visiting. :)

piCture pOlish Friday #3: 'Electric Dream'

Today is the third piCture pOlish Friday! :) You can see last week's post here, or the week before here.

Electric Dream was created with Michaela from Nail Polish Anon. It is a coral hot pink base with a strong gold shimmer as well as some very small silver holographic flakes.

Electric Dream is opaque in two coats, and has a super lovely smooth formula. It dries to a slightly satin/matte finish which I'm finding a lot of PP shades do. As usual I added a shiny top coat.

 And a few outdoor shots. :)

Fat Lacquers - Dollar Menu Collection {Swatches & Review}

Hi friends! I have a new indie brand to show you today. Fat Lacquers is a US brand that just released for pre-order. I have swatches of their 4 piece Dollar Menu collection for you.

This collection is inspired by fast food; so unique! The labels are adorable, and check out these Nutrition Facts labels on the back! So cute!

30oz Sweet Tea is a very shimmery golden brown.
I found the formula on this one was quite thick, so I did add a couple of drops of polish thinner to it before I swatched it, as it was just a tad too thick for my taste.
2 coats {no top coat}.

Daddy Chicken Patty is a clear base with gold, copper, brown, white, black and green glitters.
This one also has a thick formula.
1 coat over 30oz Sweet Tea.

Soft Serve is a shimmery bright white.
This one had pretty much the same formula as 30oz Sweet Tea, so I also added polish thinner to it.
2 coats {no top coat}.

Two All Beef Patties is a clear base with brown, gold, black, copper, green, lime green and red glitters.
Again, another thick polish but that does help a bit to give a good coverage of glitter.
1 coat over Soft Serve.

By the way, when I say that these polishes have a thick formula; don't get me wrong. It's not an awful thick formula, they aren't gloopy and unusable. But for my taste they are a tad too thick and would benefit from a couple drops of thinner.

This collection is now available for pre-order, from Fat Lacquers' BigCartel store.

piCture pOlish Friday #2: 'Shy Violet'

Hi you guys! piCture pOlish Friday is here again. You can check out last week's PP post here.

This is Shy Violet, a bright violet jelly base with silver micro flakes throughout. I love piCture pOlish's polishes in this style! Shy Violet was made in collaboration with Rachel from Glam Polish! And yes, that's the same Rachel from the Glam Polish indie brand. :) She actually had a blog before she started making her own polish if you weren't aware.

Sorry about the horrible glare in all of the following photos. :/ I tried everything to get the glare to go away when I was photographing. :(

Shy Violet dries to a slightly matte/satin finish, as it is quite a bright colour; so I'm guessing it has a slight neon pigment in it. I just applied a shiny top coat, because I prefer shiny nails. :)
It is also rather sheer, so I needed 3 coats for opacity. In the harsh light in my photos, the polish looks much more sheer than it actually was, however.

And some outdoor shots...
