Then I used China Glaze Tarnished Gold on my thumb and ring finger. I finished this manicure off with a top coat of Seche Vite.<br />
<br />
I used thin coats of the crackles because I wanted the base colour to show through and find that thinner coats allow the cracks to form better. I had to really shake up my bottles to mix my polish but after that I had no problems with the formula. It was smooth to apply and the crackles formed quickly and readily.<br />
<br />
Just a few photos today and I was trying to really capture the contrast between the silver base and the metallic crackle.<br />

I was really happy with how this turned out because I was in the mood for a kind of molten metallics manicure and I think these polishes and shades came together really well. I have to remember to post Pedal To The Metal on its ownand see how the 'Complete Salon Manicure' works since it's supposed to have a top and base coat incorporated!PassionForPolishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12847264182038437833noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196945546137516078.post-57158891294484195702012-08-22T22:33:00.001+08:002012-08-22T22:33:50.320+08:00Find Me At Karinea0eNo post from me here today!<br />

Today I have Max Factor Red Carpet Glam from their MaxEffect mini polishes collection. I swatched this collection previous <a href="http://passionforpolish.blogspot.com.au/search/label/MAX%20FACTOR%20MAXEFFECTS">here </a>and even then I was wowed by how bright this is!<br />
<br />
I used one coat of Sally Hansen Triple Strong base coat and two coats Red Carpet Glam. This was very opaque with one coat but I'm a habitual two coater :) There was the smallest bit of VNL in real life but you can hardly see it in the pictures or from a distance. I finished it off with Revlon Colorstay top coat.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's good that I chose such a bright polish because there was no sunshine for these photos :(<br />

Can you imagine just how much I was bouncing off the walls when my package arrived!<br />
<br />
I forgot to take a picture of them wrapped which was hilarious because they came safely packed in a diaper and my brother was watching me open my package and became extremely curious as to what the hell I got when the diaper came out :) Hilarity ensued!<br />
<br />
Since I was super excited I took a photo immediately before I remembered to shake them :) I got Alter Ego Desert Storm Trigger Puller, Alter Ego Penny Pincher and a sample of FEVERshadow Beach night loose eye powder :)<br />

I love how these are packaged! The label on the front and back are really professionally done and I love that there are instructions and ingredients listed. Casandra was sweet enough to send my a surprise sample of one of her loose eye powders!<br />

I'm so crazy happy and unbelievably appreciative to Casandra for her amazing generosity and to Cynthia, the creator of Alter Ego, for providing these polishes in the giveaway :) I almost don't want to use these polishes because I'm still so in awe of them! I finally understand what nail bloggers mean when they talk about their indie polishes arriving and how amazing they are in person XDPassionForPolishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12847264182038437833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196945546137516078.post-6932831544756536272012-08-07T14:00:00.000+08:002012-08-07T14:00:05.999+08:00Nails Inc House Of Parliament with Matte Top CoatJust a quick post today.

So I grabbed House of Parliament from their Magnetic polishes. I love this purple and black magnetic polish!<br />
<br />
One coat of my usual Sally Hansen Triple Strong base coat. I then applied one coat of House of Parliament and waited for it to dry. I then applied another coat and used the diagonal magnet from China Glaze which I held to the nail for 15 seconds. Afterwards I added a layer of Revlon Colorstay top coat.<br />
<br />
Actual photos today - except my natural light photo was taken when the sun was going down<br />

Do I really have to tell you how much I love this!! I think this is beautiful and since my nails are short I actually managed to get almost the entire design to show up on my index finger! I really like how the design showed up on my short nails and am so happy with this mani :)<br />

Pelican Grey is a medium grey (shock!) with a subtle shimmer.<br />
<br />
I used one coat of Sally Hansen Triple Strong bofr my base and then two coats of Pelican Grey. No problems with application. I topped it off with a coat of Revlon Colorstay top coat. I have to point out that this polish dries darker than the bottle and when you first apply. Also once it's dry the gorgeous silver shimmer mostly disappears.<br />
<br />
Picures, pictures, pictures! None in direct light unfortunately :( I swear my timing is terrible!<br />

I really wish I had some daylight shots because I want to show the gorgeous silver shimmer in this. You can faintly see the shimmer at my tips in the photos above. I don't usually wear grey shades but I really like this colour. Overall I prefer the grey/blue shades like Sea Spray which I was wearing previously.<br />

Sea Spray is from the China Glaze Anchor's Away collection and is a gorgeous blue grey polish.<br />
<br />
One coat of Sally Hansen Triple Strength base coat and two coats of Sea Spray. Application was flawless and very smooth. I finished with one coat of Revlon Colorstay top coat.<br />
<br />
Some pictures!<br />

Love, love, love this! Oh so much! I actually didn't want to take this off! I've shortened my nails a bit more and I think it looks gorgeous on this shorter length. My only complaint is that when the polish is wet there is this gorgeous blue silver shimmer all throughout it but once dried it almost completely disappears :( Definitely can't wait to try this one again!<br />

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!! I'm so glad I tried a shatter over a glitter like this again because this combo is amazing! My pictures really don't do this justice because the glittery bits peaking through against the silver shatter are simply stunning!PassionForPolishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12847264182038437833noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196945546137516078.post-91133362948936045822012-07-26T20:39:00.001+08:002012-07-26T20:39:18.981+08:00Revlon RadiantI'm still going through the polishes I have won from giveaways
and today I have for you Revlon Radiant which I also won from
Bethany at <a href="http://plethoraofnails.blogspot.com.au/">A Plethora of Nails</a>.<br />
<br />
Radiant had also been released by Revlon but called Mosaic. Revlon Radiant is also from the Revlon Expressionist collection.<br />
<br />
One coat of Sally Hansen Triple Strong base coat and three coats of Radiant. I found this one to be a bit thick when applying it. It was difficult to get full coverage, especially at my tips :( Finally I finished it off with a coat of Revlon Colorstay top
coat.<br />
<br />Still no sunlight but several natural light photos:)<br />

This is a beautiful polishes! It has large blue, silver and green hexes and is packed with smaller blue hexes in a clear base.

I don't know about everyone else but I love me some crackle!! My only problem with this is that Facets of Fuchsia is a bit of a top coat eater so the 'base' that I applied Haute Metal over wasn't completely smooth. I think that's why the crackles didn't appear as large. I like the unusual effect the crackle produces over a glitter polish :)PassionForPolishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12847264182038437833noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196945546137516078.post-42209922672789399012012-07-23T13:00:00.000+08:002012-07-23T13:00:00.249+08:00Weekly Giveaway Round Up!Are you feeling lucky??<br />

<br />
Facets of Fuchsia is the first release of this polish by Revlon and Revlon Scandalous is the re-release. It is also a dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance. So a much cheaper alternative! Revlon Scandalous is from the Revlon Expressionist collection that was only recently released here in Australia :(<br />
<br />
One coat of Sally Hansen Triple Strong base coat and two coats of Facets of Fuchsia. I was surprised at how easily and smoothly this polish applied. Finally I finished it off with a coat of Revlon Colorstay top coat.<br />
<br />
It's picture time! I'm sad to goodbye to sunlight again :(<br />

This is so gorgeous! I love black based polishes with glitter, they look amazing! Black with purple glitter and hexagons is a huge win in my opinion!

It is a delicate sheer pink shimmer from the OPI Princess Charming collection.<br />
<br />My usual Sally Hansen Triple Strong base coat and then I used two coats of Princess Rule. I probably could've gone with a third but I was happy with how two looked. Lastly I applied a coat of Revlon Colorstay top coat.<br />
<br />
Now some pretty photos. I'm afraid I only have a few and only in artificial light :(<br />

I love how soft and delicate this looks. I find this shade great as a palette cleanser but still has a gorgeous bit of sparkle to it. I don't often wear girly shades but I really like this!PassionForPolishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12847264182038437833noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196945546137516078.post-87384520990316649342012-07-12T14:00:00.000+08:002012-07-12T14:00:01.458+08:00HITS Speciallita ProgressivoSo after wearing Brit Pop I of course had to wear HITS Progressivo. Progressivo is also from the Glitter Forte collection and also from <a href="http://karinea0a.blogspot.com.au/">Karine</a>. <br />
<br />
I
applied one coat of Sally Hansen Triple Strong base coat and then a coat
of OPI Black Onyx. I then applied two coats of Progressivo which was also a PITA to apply like Brit Pop. Finally I added a coat of Revlon
Colorstay top coat. As with Brit Pop my mani was still slightly gritty to the touch.<br />
<br />
<br />
Warning awesomeness ahead!<br />

I'm as in love with Progressivo as I was with Brit Pop! Honestly can you decide which one you think looks better?? This is so crazy beautiful! It is a bit of a PITA to remove because it's so glitter packed but totally worth it!PassionForPolishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12847264182038437833noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196945546137516078.post-15128304761194393162012-07-10T20:44:00.000+08:002012-07-10T20:44:53.332+08:00Weekly Giveaway Round UpWe all know what time it is...<br />
