Face of Australia and Nail It! Australian brands reveiw

Image
Hey guys! I have little mini-review for you today! I have these under the "purchased by me" tag but they were actually a gift from my sister in law in Australia! It me forever to get to them, shame on me! I love them so much (heart eyes)! First up is a brand I've seen online but never owned until now! Its called Nail It! (giggle) and this minty (matte!) crème is called Sports girl. I didn't write down how many coats I used but I'm pretty sure it was 3! The formula was a bit tricky as with all matte crèmes, this is the only matte crème I have, the rest of the matte polishes I have are shimmery, etc! But who can resist a good mint nail polish?? NO ONE I say!  Nail It! "Sportsgirl" I used the other polish she gave me, Face of Australia "Studio 54" to create a little gradient with a sponge! Its a really pretty coppery glitter topper. I added a coat of my OPI matte topcoat to keep it matte! What do yall think?? (I just re read through ...

FOA Mardi Gras

Hey guys! I have some fun MARDI GRAS nails for you!!! I will have full swatches of the 4 FOA polishes later in the week! My sister in law in Australia picked these up for me for Christmas. There's several more textures in this line that aren't sparkly, so yeah....out on those ;) And MAN, are these sparkly!!!!!!!!! I mean WOWZA. They really feel jewel-encrusted and nothing like any of the other textures I have. I used 3 of the four for this and I have a red one as well. If I have time I'll include some comparisons as well. The only downside...they are pretty scratchy. Like with my other textures, they definitely smooth out the longer you wear them, but these are way rougher than most of my Liquid Sands and Pixiedusts. shade sun After one day I decided to add topcoat and see if it looked any different. I used one coat of Gelous and 2 coats of Seche Vite, letting dry inbetween. shade, with topcoat Not much difference, but they felt better! ;) sun...

Christmas 2013: Aussie Goodies!

Hey yall!  Here's more of my new polishes! So glad I am stocked up because no more new ones are coming in for a loooooong time! This is Picture Polish, an Australian brand that I have come to know and love over the past year. My husband, on his trip to Australia last month, made a special trip to the PP headquarters to pick these up for me. This was all I asked for for Christmas :) I'm especially excited to try Revolution, which is a special base coat you use under glitter polish to make it easier to remove. Review coming!   These 4 are from my sister in law in Canberra. These are all glittery textures by the brand Face of Australia. I can't wait to try them!!!!
