prized platinum

Prized Platinum by Revitanail is a sheer shimmering taupe polish with a pretty glossy finish. I picked this up on clearance for about $4. Unfortunately the whole Revitanail line has been discontinued. At least that's what I heard. I don't understand why they didn't sell so well. The formulas were great and some of the shades were just gorgeous. Sad.

bronze age baby

I always love trying out new Revitanail shades. The quality is always fabulous and the colours rarely disappoint. Bronze Age was, thankfully, no exception when it comes to my love of Revitanail polishes. I don't have many bronze or coppery shades in my collection and I've been looking to change that of late so Bronze Age was certainly a welcome addition. I'm not sure where to get Revitanail if you're out of Australia but for anyone in the country they're sold at Myer, Priceline and selected other pharmacy's. Do try them out. Especially if they're on sale! x

in like with cashmere latte

It's been a tough journey trying to find a nude polish that looks good with my pale/pink toned skin but I think it's finally over. Cashmere Latte by Revitanail is practically perfect. My lighting isn't the best so maybe you can't tell but this colour does not make me look dead nor does it make me look like I just soaked my fingertips in boiling water. Overall V.pleased. This had lovely coverage in just 2 thin coats. Cashmere Latte is officially my go to nude. Not sure how often I really want to "go to" nude but when I do I know it will be there waiting for me.

paint the town with fairy dust

Paint The Town is a bright orange toned red that i'm not entirely sure suits me. It is super fun and pretty but I just don't feel completely comfortable in this type of red polish which is why I added a layer of Fairy Dust by China Glaze, which for some reason made me feel better... yeah. IDK.

striking a posy with mrs claus

When it came to China Glaze's Christmas collection from the year just passed, the only polish I was excited to get my hands on was Mrs Claus but since China Glaze isn't available in Australia that meant looking for it online and OHMYGOSH that collection sold out sooo quickly at pretty much every e-tailer i've ever used but I did find some kind souls selling them on ebay.
So purchase it I did with hopes of it arriving in time for Christmas day. Which, it didn't. but oh well...
I did manage to get it in time for new years and that is the story of how the very pretty and super glittery, Mrs Claus (along with and undercoat of strike a posy) became my New Years manicure. What were your nails sporting come midnight?
