With my impending birthday coming up, I thought it would be fun to have a play on Polyvore and create a wishlist! Also helps the fiancee out should he get stuck on what to buy me :)

Neon Nails! with Orly Glowstick (Warning! You might need sunglasses)




Oh Hai!

I'm really loving the trend of little pops of neon at the moment, either a little neon accessory or a pop of neon colour in your makeup... That old trend of FULL ON NEON a few years ago was icky but this is kinda fun!

On Sunday I was lucky enough to attend the Sydney International Spa & Beauty Expo with my homies Chelle & Angela. I was unfortunately unlucky in my quest of finding a dotting tool but found lots of other goodies.

You can check out my haul video below, I haven't hauled like this in awhile and will need to go on a ban until IMATS at least :)


I've also been loving doing YouTube videos sick again, mainly because I finally got some decent lighting sorted, so i've been doing a few videos this week! Subscribe Here! I've got a few ideas up my sleeve, including my very first celebrity inspired tutorial...any guesses for who? I'll give you a hint it's one of my beauty/fashion icons! 

I should really get into what this post is all about, my crazy neon nails! I bought a few polishes at the expo but this is by far my favourite buy and the one I was most excited to try out. Sadly I had to wait until the weekend because I don't think these nails are too work appropriate.

The colour I purchased is from the new Orly collection called Feel The Vibe (I don't think this is actually available yet as it doesn't appear on the Orly Australia website). The range features 4 hot neon colours and a white shimmer & black shimmer (to be worn alone or layered under the polishes) The other colours were pretty, but nothing like the one I picked up "Glowstick" which is an obscene neon yellow....amazing!


Now I can't give this a completely glowing review... ha ha glowing! It was a bit of a pain to apply. Under the advice of Chelle I actually put a white underneath (Ulta3 Lily White) I did one coat of the white then tried to put 2 coats of Glowstick over that, it was a streaky mess so I tried again with 2 coats of white and 1 coat of Glowstick. Much Better! It's still a tad streaky but not overly noticeable.

WARNING.... YOU MIGHT NEED SUNGLASSES FOR THESE PICTURES!


Orly polishes RRP are $18.95AUD and you can check out stockists and order online on the Orly Australia website

Disclosure & Shizz - I was invited by Symbol PR to attend the Sydney International Spa & Beauty Expo as media. All products mentioned in this post and the video were purchased by me with my own money and I'd better not buy any more for awhile!
