I purchased these from Maconii's eBay page (you can check them out here), they also have a shop in Melbourne's CBD. They have heaps of different polish brands that can be hard to come by at an affordable price.

Overall I loved the collection and will be wearing them again and again. The pink shades were a little sheerer and need three coats for opacity but apart from that, the polish went on well and evened out nicely. The finish of these polishes is nice and creamy with a great shine. This is the first time I've tried creme Colour Club shades and I was pretty impressed.

Feathered Hair Out To There
This shade is a pastel candy pink that's soft and bright at a same time. It took three coats to reach opacity and like most light pinks, you have to wait a little bit between applications to prevent bald spots.



Hot Hot Hot Pants
This shade is more of a sherbet orange pink shade that's really lovely. It's a real shame that the true colour doesn't show up in photo; It's like a softer version of Flip Flop Fantasy by China Glaze. This shade also needed three coats for opacity but evened out nicely.



Under The Blacklight
This colour is so great ! I don't have a polish like it in my collection. It's a lime/lemon pastel shade that is lovely and summery. This shade need three thin coats for opacity.



'Till The Record Stops
I would say that this shade is a dupe for That's Hula-rious by OPI. It's a bit brighter and less pistachio toned but it's a really flattering shade and one that can be worn all year round. It only needed two coats for full opacity.



Meet Me At The Rink
This shade is a spectacular bright, pastel blue that I could wear every single day. It only needed two coats for opacity and went on smoothly. So nice !



Diggin' The Dancing Queen
The last shade is a bright and vibrant purple shade that is a lot brighter in person. It's also more pink in person as well and would look fantastic on any skin tone.


Which shade was your favourite from the collection and will you be picking any up yourselves?

So the lovely Tiffany at Polish Envy contacted me recently to review some of their products and I of course jumped on the chance !

Polish Envy are an Australian made and owned company that use environmentally friendly and sustainable product methods to deliver great quality polish at an affordable price. All of their polishes are 5-Free and not tested on animals. Win win !


All of these polishes had a metallic finish to them and the formula was quite sheer on the first coat. They built up the colour with every coat and were generally opaque by the third coat. The formula wasn't too streaky and leveled out nicely.

Pretty In Pink
First up is this nice and bright pink shade. In certain lights, it seems to have a slight orange tone to it and this gives it a nice shimmer.



Magic Beans
This shade was probably my least favourite of the four and was a lime green metallic shade. It was also the sheerest of the four and there was still a viable nail line after three coats.



Skies The Limit
This shade is my favourite of the four. It's a lovely bright blue that just screams summer to me. It has a slight green tinge running through it and it was opaque in two coats.



Mermaid
This shade is a purple shade that has shifting tones of greens and blue. The shade name of mermaid fits really nicely.

When working out where to start with nail care, it can be tricky. So I though I would share with you my favourite products at the moment to achieve long, strong and healthy nails.


OPI Crystal Nail File 
This file is my absolute favourite nail file. It files your nails down quickly and efficiently, much faster than a traditional emery board. Always file your nails in one direction and in long smooth strokes- this minimizes nail tears and breaks.

Revitanail Keratin Strengthening Serum 
I got a tester of this serum in a magazine a while back and I fell in love with it ! The formula is super hydrating and non-greasy and you only need a little bit. I have also noticed that my nails have been stronger than they have been in a long time.

A'kin Pure Radiance Rosehip Oil 
I'm loving this oil for my cuticles. It's traditionally an oil for your face but I figured it would work well for nail care and it does ! It smells very botanical and natural and absorbs quickly.

Manicare X We Are Handsome Emery Board 
I looove this pattern. It's a super funky and trendy pattern and is great as a file for on the go.

Revitanail Nourishing Treatment Oil 
This oil is great ! It hydrates really well and makes your cuticles super soft. 

Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter
This product was probably the first cuticle moisturizer I got and it's lasted a really long time. It smells delicious and you can also use it on dry elbows, heels and knees.

Manicare X We Are Handsome Nail Polish Remover Pads 
These are great if you need to take your polish off on the go. They also have added Vitamin E, moisturize your nails and cuticles and are acetone free.

A'kin Hand, Nail & Cuticle Creme 
This is a fantastic all-purpose hand creme. It's hydrating and makes my hands super soft. It absorbs really well and you won't leave greasy hand-prints everywhere. 

So let me know if you like this sort of post and I'll post them more often !

OPI brings you a brand new collection straight from New Orleans itself ! The colours are vibrant, fun and will make everyday feel like Mardi Gras ! All of the shades had an amazing formula and the shine was just incredible.



Let Me Bayou A Drink 
This shade is a really soft and pretty nude polish. It has quite a bit of pink to it and reminds me of the 2015 Soft Shades collection. 



Humiditea
This one's a peculiar shade, it's sort of a brown/ coral based nude shimmer. It's ok but I felt about 80 years old once it was on my nails. Not a huge fan of this one.



Take A Right On Bourbon
This shade seems really similar to both Press * for Silver and This Silver's Mine!. Out of all of the shades in this collection, I found application the trickiest. It doesn't come across as bad in the photo but it was quite streaky and patchy around the cuticle. Still a pretty shade though.



Craw Fishin' For A Compliment
This shade is a light, creamy orange shade that reminds me of Fruit Tingles for some reason. It also seems quite similar to Is Mai Tai Crooked? from the Hawaii collection.



Got Myself Into A Jambalava 
This shade is a melony pink that makes me want to go on a beach holiday for some reason !



Suzi Nails New Orleans 
This is a nice and bright pink that is really lovely. I had no issues with application and I can see myself wearing it in the future.



I'm Sooo Swamped !
I must say that this shade looks much better in the photo than it does in person. It's really not my favourite shade and along with Humiditea, it's down there in my least favourite polishes.



Rich Girls and Po-Boys 
This shade has to be my favourite of the whole collection. It's a stunning china blue and I want it on my fingernails all day, everyday.



Spare Me A French Quarter?
This shade is a deep raspberry creme that just glides on. I had no problems with application and it was opaque in two coats.



I Manicure For Beads
This is a luscious purple cream, quite similar to Lost My Bikini In Molokini but brighter.
 


She's A Bad Muffuletta !
This shade is a lovely bright pinky/red creme polish. As like all of the shades in the collection, the finish was super glossy and not at all patchy.



Show Us Your Tips
If you like shimmery periwinkle shades, then this colour is for you ! Application was a breeze and it took two coats to be opaque.



You can pick up shades from this collection from February for $19.95 each from selected salons, MYER and David Jones. For retail stockists call 1800 812 663 and for salon enquires call 1800 358 999. Thanks COTY !

Rimmel London have released a new gel nail polish collection called Super Gel and it can give you up to 14 days of colour and incredible shine. The shades are quick to apply with only two to three coats of colour needed and you finish your mani off with their top coat; and the best thing is that you don't need a UV lamp !


All of the shades had a fantastic formula and were opaque in two to three coats. They also have an amazing shine. The only negative I found was that the top coat bubbled slightly.



New Romantic
This shade is a lovely light pink that has a shimmer through it. 



Soul Session 
This is a brown based nude that needed three coats to be opaque. 



Angel Wing
If a bubble gum pink is your style than this is the perfect pink for you !
 


Perfect Posy
This orange based shade reminds me so much of spring.



Blue Babe 
This shade is my favourite of all of the shades. Its a bright light blue that looks absolutely fabulous.



Shallow Bay
This green/teal shade is so pretty and I can see myself wearing it lots in the future !
 


Cocktail Passion
This shade is a pink with a slight orange undertone.



Happily Evie After
This orange is quite bright and fun and would look great for summer.


Red Ginger
This shade is a pinky/red colour that would look great on anyone.



Darling Dahlia
This shade is a spicy red that just pops.



Urban Purple
This shade was probably that hardest to capture the true colour. It's a deep pink/red that's really lovely.


Rock N Roll
Out of all the shades, this is the truest red. It has a slight brown undertone to it.


 I really loved all of these shades and I still can't believe how glossy they are. I've been wearing Urban Purple on my toes for the last three weeks and they've only just starting chipping.
You can pick these up from Priceline, Big W, Woolworths, Coles, Chemist Warehouse and My Chemist for $9.95 each. Thumbs up from me !

 As soon as I heard about this collection I was super excited and when the package arrived on my doorstep I was absolutely gobsmacked ! The people at COTY Pr were beyond generous and the press kit was just too cute. The new Hello Kitty collection is made up of 12 new limited edition shades that will have you tickled pink.



Kitty White
This shade is a pearly white glitter that looks great layered over light coloured polishes.



Let's Be Friends !
I'm loving this pale pink ! It was opaque in two-three coats and is one of my favourite light pink polishes.



Charmmy and Sugar 
This shade is a glitter packed polish that has a pink frosty base and mutli-coloured circular glitter flakes through it.



Look At My Bow !
This pink is a creamy bubblegum pink that has a really nice formula. It was slightly streaky on the first coat but evened out nicely on the second coat.



Small and Cute = ♥
This shade is lighter pink than Look At My Bow with peachy undertone to it. The formula was ok, a little bit streaky but not that difficult to work with.



Spoken From The Heart
If you're after a bright, coral/pink shade then this is the one for you. It's more of a crelly formula, so it goes on a bit differently than the creme polishes. 



Starry-Eyed For Dear Daniel 
This glitter polish has pink, purple and blue microglitter through it and is really pretty. It goes on really nicely and is opaque in two coats. The formula is a little thick but it dries pretty quickly. 



Super Cute In Pink
This shade is more of a purple colour than the name suggests and definitely has the most jelly like formula. It took three coats for full opacity.



My Twin Mimmy
Personally, I'm not much of a yellow person but if you are, this shade is nice. It's a creamy sun like yellow that reminds me of spring and summer. 



5 Apples Tall
This shade is a bright red that is the sort of shade that will look great on most skin tones. Similar to Spoken From The Heart, it's a crelly formula that took two coats to be opaque.  



My Pal Joey
I really love this shade ! It's a super pretty, bright and vibrant royal blue that got me so many compliments when I wore it. It goes on really well and has a amazing formula.  



Never Have Too Mani Friends ! 
This shade is a really glossy black that looks super elegant and it was almost a one-coater.
