Nails of the Day: Sorry I’m Fizzy Today
With summer in full swing, I couldn’t resist purchasing this cool toned coral nail polish. I believe that this colour was released with OPI’s Coca Cola Summer collection a little white ago. It applies on the nail beautifully, isn’t streaky and is richly opaque! I of course used my trusty Sally Hansen top coat, to finish off my DIY manicure (Mega Shine top coat). What do you think of this creamy pink-coral? 🙂 I bought mine from ebay (here) for only $7.50 US, plus $6.00 shippi

Nails of the Day: OPI’s Push & Pur-Pull
I’ve noticed that bright purple nail polishes are difficult to do. Even though I love the L’Oreal Colour Riche Le Vernis nail polishes, even their purple (Atomic Purple #829) nail polish was not crash hot. When I saw OPI’s neon collection (for summer 2014), I thought the nail polishes looked seriously fun! I originally just wanted to buy the shade Life Gave Me Lemons (a citrus colour somewhere in-between a lime and lemon lol) but then I gave in and bought the purple shade and

Nails of the Day: Road House Blues
I felt like going for a classic ‘nail look’ today and luckily on hand I had a new nail polish – OPI’s Road House Blues <3 It’s a gorgeous navy blue – opaque, shiny and intense in colour. I’ve had a longing to travel recently, but as I can’t go anywhere anytime soon this nail polish will have to do! It’s name reminds me of good ol’ country music! I would so go on a musical road trip in the States! *sigh I’ll keep dreaming on… *Update* This nail polish goes on quite thickly – i

Nails of the Day: OPI’s Big Apple Red
It’s soooo rainy and dreary here in Sydney (sticky to – which I hate) – so how do I fight the blues when it’s dark and depressing? By surrounding myself with colour and for me that starts with my nails 🙂 OPI’s Big Apple Red is a classic bright red without going into the neon bright territory. It’s probably one of OPI’s more well known shades as it’s a classic that never gets old. I only have a mini version of this nail polish, but I will be getting the full size soon as it’s

Nails of the Day: OPI’s Dulce De Leche
Dulce De Leche is apparently the Spanish name of a dessert made from milk or condensed milk. The milk is heated until it becomes this delicious sweet caramel. How I would love to dip a spoon in and eat it up 😀 OPI’s Dulce De Leche isn’t quite as toffee like in colour. I would describe it as a nude mid toned, rosey pink. Alas, it also doesn’t quite taste like Dulce De Leche *sigh… The polish has quite a thick-opaque consistency, so may not even need two coats. I don’t like it

New Year New Goodies!
Everyone loves new goodies right 🙂 I decided to stock up on some skin care products (some new, some replacements of old goodies) right before the new year and most of these products arrived not so long ago. I’m pretty loyal to particular skin care brands – mostly because once I find that something works, I stick with it! It’s all about consistency you see! I also seem to stick to cosmoceutical brands – no faffing around here! 😛 So what did I buy? Let’s check it out! First u

Nails of the Day and New Year Sparkle*
Hi beauty bees! I hope all of you lovelies have had a fabulous holiday season! I took a little break from beauty bee over the new years period – just to brain storm and come up with some ideas for posts 🙂 I can’t believe I am coming up to my 100th post (this is post no. 91) so I have some special plans for that mile stone (*giveaway* cough cough*). If there is any particular post you would like to see in regards to skin care or makeup – just give me a buzz and let me know 🙂

Nails of the Day: Samoan Sands
This is one of my all time favourite shades! If I had to pick one shade of nail polish to wear for the rest of my life, it would be OPI’s Samoan Sands, hands down. It’s the perfect nude – with a blend of pinks and beiges. It suits every outfit and occasion and just looks so sophisticated! The first coat of this polish may look a bit streaky on your nails, but it all evens out with a second coat. The formula is a little bit on the thicker side, so if you pile it on your nails

Nails of the Day: OPI’s Up Front & Personal~
I found this nail polish at the chemist for half price! As OPI isn’t the cheapest here in Aus, I mentioned the sale in a post (you can see that post here – I also posted up a link to a cheap but trusted ebay store stocking OPI). Up Front & Personal is the perfect polish if you are looking for grown up ‘glitter’ or a subtle metallic finish. The sparkles/flecks in this polish are very fine and depending what light you are in, the colour changes from a more silvery beige to a li

Nails of the Day: Lucky Lucky Lavender
Today I am sporting OPI’s lavender/purple shade in Lucky Lucky Lavender. It’s sooo pretty – brighter than your regular pastel lavender shade, so it most definitely stands out! In the photo below I am wearing two coats. The polish itself is a little thicker than other OPI shades, so anymore than two coats and the polish could get a bit lumpy. It really does brighten up your day 🙂 On top I’ve used my regular and trusted Sally Hansen Mega Shine Topcoat. I do buy some OPI nail

OPI Nail Polish Sale & Spring Blooming!
Two things I wanted to share with you today beauty bees! Number one being that I found an awesome deal at my local chemist (OZE Pharmacy here in Sydney). They had a ‘bargain bin’ sale full of OPI nail polishes going for half price (they usually retail for $19.95 or something) so thats $10 bucks each! Now, they didn’t have every single colour available, but the range wasn’t to shabby either. I picked up one of my all time favourite neutral shades – Samoan Sand which I also bel
