Face of Australia - Between The Flags

Here's the textured red polish That came all the way from Australia...

It is from Face of Australia's Carnivale Collection and it is called Between The Flags...

The brush is thick and really covers the nails nicely. The formula is lovely, average drying time, no streaks or bald spots... This is two coats on my nails...

It dries to a matte gritty finish, more grittier than Zoyas... But I like that feeling when you touch. It is like a massage for my fingertips... LOL Oh, and it has golden glitter!!!

Really Christmassy.. Well, since Christmas is over, our next destination is New Years... So I might just say that this red is perfect for New Years... :)

Just another excuse to wear red, don't you think?

Christmas Gift from Australia

There was a competition on our Facebook Group and guess who has won????

ME!!!!!

Here are the "gifts"!!!

I'm really loving the Face of Australia Carnivale Textures!!!! And the "joy" ornament is just what I need!!!! :) :)

GRFC Challenge - Christmas Party

Today is the final day of Getting Ready For Christmas Challenge! I really enjoyed doing this Challenge. And I'm kind of sad that it is over!!!

I want to thank Elsa for hosting GRFC and hoping that she'll come up with a new fun challenge anytime soon... :) :)

Well, for today, the theme is Christmas Party... I don't think red looks good on me, so I picked a black outfit for this night... LOL :)

Here is Models Own Obsidian from the Velvet Goth Collection. It is a black jelly based tiny silver glitter with hexagonal holographic glitter as well. It dries to a semi-matte finish, which I did not like so I used a coat of SV over it... :)

As for the accent nail; I've been wanting to use the BM420 for a long time, and this was an excuse... Unfortunately the image was a little big on the sides for my nail... So I taped the edges of my nail and renewed the black lines of the tuxedo with a striper brush and black polish. Oh, and the base is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls... :)

Soooo, that concludes the challenge!!!

And here's the roundup of my entires!!!

GRFC Challenge - Christmas Movie Inspired

Today is the 9th day of Getting Ready for Christmas Challenge and today's theme is Christmas Movie Inspired!!!

There were lots movies to choose from, and I personally loved them all. But I decided on this one!!!!

The Santa Clause!!!

Anddd here's my inspired mani!!!!


I started with my fail proof red polish; China Glaze Ruby Pumps... :) Two coats on my nails... Gorgeous as ever...

On my index and pinkie, I freehanded Santa's belt... Not perfect as you can see, but from a distance, it looks acceptable... :)

And for the middle and ring fingers, I stamped the sweter design from Nailz Craze NC03 plate with white stamping polish.

Fun and festive... What do you think????

GRFC Challenge - The Christmas Red

Oh, no I'm falling behind in Getting Ready for Christmas Challenge!!!! Well, behind my schedule, I should say... :) I was planning to finish the challenge on Christmas day, but I think I will need a couple more days... LOL

Anyway, for today, day 8, the theme is Christmas Red...

Honestly, I don't own many red polish. I have 3 or 4 tops. I don't know why, but it may be bacause red is a flashy color and I prefer to go with simple colors...

Anyway, one of the best reds in my collection is Catherine Arley 800, the red holo! I have two coats on my nails and application was a breeze... No special base coats needed... :) It isn't a in your face holo, a more subtle one but it is still pretty..

I decided giving my MoYou Christmas plate a try and ended up stamping with it using BarryM Gold... :) This plate is really awsome, I think I need more MoYou's in my life..

Oh, and for the accent nail, I used a generous coat of Pahlish Pianos Filled with Flames, a lovely red and gold glitter in a sheer pink/red base... It think it needs a wear on its own... :)
