Sea Siren Cosmetics - Motion of the Ocean and Bronzed Siren review and swatches


Sigh - mint green - such a perfect colour :). This is a light mint green, with a gorgeous glossy finish. Application was great, the first coat was a little streaky but not as much as other pastels I've used and the second coat fixed the streaks entirely. I love all of Sea Siren Cosmetic's cremes as the application is a breeze and there is great colour pay off. I'll definitely be purchasing a larger bottle of this as a girl can never have too many mint greens and this one is just so pretty.




This is Bronzed Siren and probably my least favourite of the Sea Siren polishes I've used. It just doesn't do much for my skin tone. Application was a little tricky and no matter how careful I was I still ended up with brush strokes. Top coat definitely lessened them and the colour is a pretty rich bronze. I can see that I will use it in a lot of nail art as I just love the contrast it provides as seen in today's skittlette. 



Sea Siren is cruelty free and vegan friendly and have a 5 free formula. You can find out all the news on their Facebook page and browse the polishes and purchase them through the Sea Siren website.
Sea Siren offer both 15ml Ocean Bubble bottles at $15.95 and Wanderlust 5ml mini bottles for $6.95.

These polishes were sent to me for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Please note computer monitors may vary in colour display.

Mint Green and Pink Valentine's Day nail design


If you've been around awhile you know my favourite colour is mint green, and that even though I love the colour it always gives me lobster hands :(. Sometimes I just think too bad and this was one of those occasions. I also love mint green and pink together, a marriage made in heaven.The divine mint green in this look is Miss Ashleigh's A Pastel Exper-mint. The pink is OPI Sparrow Me the Drama. My ring finger has a custom polish that Peita's Polish made for me as is the gorgeous mint green glitter.

Hope you're having a fabulous week, Tx.

Rainbow HOney - Mint Flavour - glitter gradient


This is one of the new colours from Rainbow Honey and it's just gorgeous. Yes it's another mint green and is called Mint flavour. This mint green has a lot of blue in it and the brightness makes it such a fun shade. Mint Flavour is also a gorgeous shimmer that sparkles and shines in the light. I just love it!! Below I added a glitter gradient in China Glaze I'm Not Lion and Love Thy Polish Gold Dust Woman.  I can't wait to try the other colours in this collection.

Happy Sunday, Tx

piCture pOlish - Honeydew - skittlette





You know I love mint green and I really love this mint green creme polish from piCture pOlish. I have so many mint green polishes but as I tell Hubby they're similar but different :). I really wanted to do a skittlette with a pastel colour, black roses and dots since I saw this one by glamsusie on Instagram. She was clever enough to hand paint her roses but I stamped mine. I also really wanted to add a matte top coat but my middle finger nail has suffered a break and all that is holding it together is the teabag and glue method and a good coverage of glitter polish. I just didn't think a shiny glitter and matte pastel would go together so I will redo this look when my break grows out. It also means at any time now I'm going to be reduced to super nubs, the break is below the free tip so will take awhile to grow out :(. Anyway I'll try to embrace the nubs and stamp those designs that are usually too small for my nails.

I do still love this look, the stamping plate was a Bundle Monster one but I can't remember the number and the glitter is again the gorgeous Essie - Beyond Cosy - one of my go to glitters.

Well it's finally Saturday - enjoy your weekend, Tx.
