Manicure Monday - Face of Australia Ocean Villa

I've been craving bright blue nails all week, I have no idea why but i'm strange like that.

I haven't picked up this Face Of Australia nail colour in Ocean Villa for awhile and it is the most beautiful bright almost cobalt blue, and guess what? It's now part of Face of Australias permanent range! The bottle is in the normal FOA nail polish bottles, my version is from the Luxe collection.

I could have left it with just this gorgeous colour but I decided to add a bit of sparkle to my ring finger on each hand and for this I used OPI Last Friday Night from the Katy Perry collection. It doesn't really show up because I only did a very light coat but oh well it's a tiny bit of sparkle :).

OPI retails for $19.95AUD in Australia and this colour is still available to purchase from Adore Beauty.

Face of Australia is available at department stores and Priceline and nail polish retails for $6.95AUD you can also purchase these online from Fashion Addict & Makeup Express.

Manicure Monday - I'm Blue Da Ba Di Dab Ah Dah

Here we are at Monday again and I have a killer manicure for you, I apologize if I got that song stuck in your head but it was my intention (hehe).

I'm loving rocking a accent nail on each hand at the moment and I find it a good way to try out some of the polishes I haven't gotten around to swatching plus it also is fun when someone notices "ohhh that finger is a little different".

So what did I use!

The Sally Hansen polish applied like a dream, I did do two coats but easily could have gotten away with 1. The little variants of blue glitter in the OPI Last Friday Night polish (from the Katy Perry collection) has one blue that is a pretty spot on match for Blue Me Away. Match made in heaven? Yeh I kinda think so! I loved this mani and wished I could have rocked it all week but I had to change it up and go a little more demure for work (you'll see that one next week!)

I'm loving this lipstick colour that Kirsten Stewart is wearing, I don't really like her as an actress I find her a little boring but this colour is fab! It actually looks a bit like OCC Lip Tar in Grandma



Confession time! Katy Perry is my current guilty musical pleasure. I love nothing more then dancing around the house and belting out Teenage Dream at the top of my lungs. Another thing I love about Katy is she's a total nail gal! This is a long time coming and I wish it was a bigger collection but her collaboration with OPI looks awesome and I can't wait to get my little fingers onto it!



Teenage Dream (Pink Glitter...eep totally me!), Not Like The Movies (Silver Metallic), Last Friday Night (Blue Glitter), The One That Got Away (Dark Berry Purple), Black Shatter (CRACKLE!!!)

One nail polish collection i'm not excited about is the Justin Beiber nail polish collection, I wonder if we'll see them on his nails at all? Doubtful!

Celebs I'd love to see do a nail polish collection are... Gwen Stefani, Courtney Love & Britney Spears (it'd be chip city right?)
