Jigsaw Puzzle Nail Art

So today i decided to do some nail art before i left the house. I was visiting my friends today and literally had 20 minutes before i left. So this i what i came up with. I know its simple but its the best i could do in 20 minutes, i take my time with polish so it only made sense that i couldn't do something pro. I only used 4 things to get this design and i hope you like it. Cleaning up was a bit messy as the polish was dark and dark polishes are a bit of a pain to remove as they stain your nails and skins, you will notice in the pic that around the cuticle area and around my nails aren't perfectly neat. That's because clean up was a pain so i have up and left it a tad messy. Hope you enjoy it anyways

What I used:
Orly "Wandering Vine"
Konad special polish "White"
Bundle monster image plate "BM 319"
BYS topcoat

Savvy- Flaming Blue

Im Back!!!!! I am extremely sorry for abandoning this blog. I never planned to but things been very complicated for the past few months that i haven't had the time to post

This polish is called Flaming Blue and its by Savvy. Savvy is only available at Priceline. This polish has an amazing formula, i was honestly amazed and for only $3, guess who is gonna buy more... ME!!!!

It has a very pretty colour and is incredibly blue with a morphing effect in which you see green.

It is incredibly hard to show you the green effect but it is there. It only require two coats and it looks incredibly shiny with absolutely no top coat. I do have a new camera but i actually like my old one better.

Here you can see the polish with its own bottle but its hard to take a picture with the original bottle as it is hard to see the actual colour bcause it disguises with the bottles 

I won a giveaway

As you know from the title i won a giveaway!!! This giveaway was held by The DIY Lady for Cheeky goodies. If you haven't already checked her blog, do so as it is a great blog. I was really excited to win because I'm not really lucky and have never won anything. Plus Cheeky isn't available in Australia, well they won't available but when I checked today they said the would ship to Australia, weird ha. Anyways let's get on with what I won.

This is everything i won. So there was a fair bit of things. Just looking you can get a rough idea of what I received.

Here are the image plates from cheeky. Some of them were doubles, about three but ill probably give them to my friend. My friend always sees my nails and asks me to do her nails like that so a few days ago i purchased a Konad set and gave it to her for her birthday.

Here you can see a huge image plate. Each image has four images, two big and two small which a mirrored.

These are toe nail polish foils/stickers. I received three and they were all the same design which you can see

A stamper with two image plates. These were in this plastic already but two of the exactly same ones were in the one above but in a circle shape

Here

Three different rhinestone wheels. I never use rhinestones cause i think they are too big but these are the perfect size so I'm going to give them a try

These are nail foils. They are each different designs so can't wait to try them. I hope you enjoyed this post. Before i end this post i wanted to mention that ill be going for a trip so i won't be posting. I am sorry but that's how things are Cya

Thank you for everyone entering

The two winners are Rica Aston and Miranda McCartney.

I have sent a email to both winners and hope that they can respond

This is called Nail Drama Jelly Moonlight. Jelly Moonlight is a blue jelly base polish with multi size glitters and Purple Hearts. I was really pleased with this and really wanted people to try it. 

Here is a picture of what each winner will receive

Nail Drama Galaxy 101 is a shimmery purple base polish with copper/pinkish small and hex glitters.    I know it looks like the glitter is all at the bottom but that's just the glitter stuck to the bottle. It actually has even distributed glitter. All three polishes have stainless steel balls in the bottle to allow easy mixing and even distribution. 

Nail Drama Be My Princess is a perfect ballerina pink with two size silver glitters. The two sizes are fine silver glitter and slightly bigger silver glitter. The bigger glitters are the ones that are noticeable in the picture

September nail polish haul

Hey guys, how are you? I have to apologise for not posting in over two weeks. My days have been so busy and packed that 1 minute of sitting down was not possible. Today I had a little time available and so I knew I had to post. Now september finished a few days ago but I wanted to show you my september haul. Before I get started, I just wanted to inform you all that I'm having another giveaway as a thank you to my 300 subscribers. I'll post the giveaway some day this week so stay tuned.

Finally lets get started. This is all the polish i purchased in september. I tried not spending to much but hey what can you do. You will notice that polish innisfree 82 has fancy sticky tape around it. That is because when I received it in the mail it was broken. I mailed the seller and they are going to send me another polish since they don't have that in stock. It's a little disappointing since I wanted that one but I can always empty it into another bottle.

Sportsgirl- Olive

Hey guys!!! Today I have a swatch of Sportsgirl Olive. Olive is a grey base polish with olive shimmer. The grey base is very hard to notice and will only notice it when in the sun or have some kind of light near your nails lol, never thought I would say that sentence. If you guys want this polish you better hurry as this was their winter polish and they are now starting their spring collection. You may be lucky to find this on sale since winter is officially over. Check out how short my nails are but they have grown a lot since Tuesday as I broke them from the tip. 

Here there is no light or flash or even sun. It's so gorgeous, I knew I had to buy it when I first saw it. Applying was an absolute breeze and drying time was super super quick. The polish is also perfect consistancy. I really truely love Sportsgirl polishes because their polishes are perfect, can't seem to find anything bad to say even if I tried. 

Here is what the polish bottle looks with no flash or sun. Once again you can't tell it has a grey base. You are probably thinking its and olive coloured polish. Well it does look like an olive colour polish but that is all the shimmer you're seeing, trust me it does have a grey base.

Finally a picture with flash, I did my nails really late at night so I couldn't step outside but the flash of my camera worked well and showed the colour great. You can see a slight grey base here but the last picture will really clear your mind. Come on girls go buy this polish before its too late.

Bonus side view shot!!!! What do you guys think of my short nails? I actually don't mind them as they grew so quick but my nails have always been the type to grow super fast. I would like it a little longer though.

Check out the grey base, Yay!!! I actually captured the colour. The polish has a grey base with an olive/goldish shimmer which you can clearly see in this picture

What did you think of this polish? What's your opinion on Sportsgirl polishes?

Nail Polish Remover Pens

Hey guys, the Born Pretty Store sent me Nail Polish Remover Pens to review. This set Comes with 5 remover pens. Each pen comes with a total of four tips, one to start with and three extras on the cap. I've Been using brushes to clean up my mistakes for ages so I thought why not give this a try. In the picture below you can see my mani is clean with the help of these remover pens.

Are the pens easy to use? Yes they are easy to use and very helpful might I add. It worked pretty well and is always very useful to have. They're the perfect size and fits quite well in the hand. The only hassle is it may dry so use it quickly or store it in such a way that won't dry them out. Of course you can always dip the tip in polish remover if it ever dries out.

Cleaning is easy and simple and this can be used exactly like the brush method. The tip is slightly thick so sometimes you may wipe off a bit of your polish. So just be careful. For that reason I prefer the brushes because they are thin however I know I still will be using these because they are helpful.

In the picture above you can see me cleaning around the cuticle area and that worked great. I would recommend these, they are cheap and helpful. Don't forget to use the code SADAFW21 to receive a 5% discount from the store.
