 Picture Polish prints QR codes on all their bottles that link to the site your bottle was purchased from, very handy.

Ruby Blou is a mix of fine and small red, blue and silver glitter in a clear base. I'm wearing 1 coat over grey shimmery bases without top coat. It applies very nicely and the hexes lay flat on the nail, yay!

Originally I wasn't very thrilled with this mix of colours, but Ruby Blou has really grown on me and I think I could use it for more than just french and US themed manis!!!

Don't forget Gracie Lou is the NZ authorised reseller of Picture Polish and Ozotic lacquers.

KB Shimmer Lilac Dreams

Pin It

When I did my swap with Sparkly she sweetly included a KB Shimmer Lilac Dreams because she knew how much I wanted it!

Lilac Dreams is a complex purple glitter. It's mainly super fine mauve purple that has a sort of duochrome shift to pink. Then there's dark purple glitter and holographic blue looking glitter. The coverage is great in 2 easy to apply coats and you will need a thick and glossy top coat because it has a bit of a texture going on.

It's just so pretty, definitely dream like!

The BATTLE #5: Pretty vs Punk - PUNK

Pin It

Seeing as I'm not a 'punky' girl at all, I really didn't know what qualified as a punky nail look. At first I considered using silver studs, but I couldn't find them, so I settled for some pink and black stamping.

Herringbone just seems to remind me of punky/skatey girls clothe;s so using the design on plate BM 322 I stamped it on with Konad Special Polish in Pink and Black.

I tried to add a funky bow stamp to my ring finger but after several attempts it just didn't show up, so I abandoned the plan and just redid that nail.

Tip: wait for the stamping to completely dry before you finish it off with top coat. I was in a bit of a rush so there was some slight smearing...

Pink Panic is an almost neon pink creme but the combination of night time and lamp and crappy camera really faded it :( I tried tweaking the colour of the last photo, but it doesn't even come close to it's awesomeness.

Was my attempt punk enough or do you have some better punk looks I should check out?

The BATTLE # 5: Pretty vs Punk - PRETTY

Pin It

For Challenge 5 I was faced with Pretty vs Punk. I personally go pretty every time, I just can't pull off punk! But I wanted to have a stab at both looks, so I kept Pretty ultra simple...

 What could be prettier than Candeo Colors Orchid?!

I've posted Orchid before worn alone, but I found the glitter got a bit too textured with multiple coats, so I layered it over China Glaze Traffic Jam a berry pink creme. I used 2 coats for these photos and it was just perfect. So very very pretty and the holo glitter looks like it's glowing under the shimmery base.

Tomorrow I'll show you my Punk look.

Ozotic Sugar 903 Swatches & Review

Pin It

Ozotic Sugar 903 is another of the polishes the kind ladies from Picture Polish sent for review.

903 can be worn alone or layered. It is an ice blue shimmer made up of micro colour-shifting flakes which shift from blue-purple-fuchsia.  Alone it is a bit sheer but looks just like it does in the bottle, very ethereal with flashes of pink in the light.

I swatched it over Essie Bobbing for Baubles (a greyed and muted navy), and the true colour shift became super obvious!

I love how 903 looks layered. This is just 1 thin coat (it's a seriously concentrated polish). The fuchsia and purple is way more obvious in the shade and so beautiful! The formula is pretty thick and glides on like butter.

The NZ Picture Polish reseller is Gracie Lou and she sells the Sugar range for $15.50, but they are on sale right now for $13.95. She has wee sales quite frequently too.
