Grace-full Nail Polish Multi Jewels with Zoya Belinda


Hey everyone! Today's look comes from one of the polishes I'll be releasing tomorrow Multi Jewel. It's a microglitter full of jewel colours. It's a part of my Nail that Accent! line made specifically for us who love nail art to have more options. Below you can see it looks fabulous on it's own but it also looks great popping out on the middle nails and would make a gorgeous accent nail. I'm getting very excited to open my store and absolutely love creating polishes. Hope you like this look as much as I do :)

Have a fantabulous day Tx




Powder Perfect Christmas Collection


I absolutely love Christmas polishes and am so pleased to start seeing them around. Today I have Powder Perfect's Christmas collection to show you. I love this collection! These polishes will be released on Friday

Don't forget to pick them up at Powder Perfect!


First and probably my favourite from this collection is The Stars Are Brightly Shining. It's a silver glitter but I love that it's silver but has tones of gold. That makes it extra special to me as the colour is unique. I am wearing two coats and application was easy. 




Number 2 is Christmas in a tropical climate and it's a fabulous bright yellow gold to fit it's name. It has amazing sparkles but I didn't catch the sun to get it to show some for you. It's very camera shy. I used 3 coats here and top coat. Application was again a breeze.




Number 3 is my second favourite called Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal and it's my second favourite because I think it's the perfect Christmas red! The colour just screams Christmas and I can't wait to wear this one in December though it won't just be stuck in Christmas wear as it could be worn any day. It's a gorgeous micro glitter that has fabulous sparkles.




Candy Canes and Silver Lanes Aglow is a Christmas topper, packed full of iridescent glitter and pops of red glitter that sparkle and shine. I am wearing it over Powder Perfect Don't Flash Those Babies Around and am wearing one dabbed coat with top coat. It applied beautifully.




This gorgeous crelly is Prettiest Sight to See. This applied easily and has magenta and red glitter with smaller lilac glitter. I loved how easy this was to apply, glitter payoff was great. I am wearing three thin coats with top coat.




Last but not least is What is it With You and Xmas Trees. A pretty crelly in a gorgeous mid green this polish has  red, green. blue and pink glitter in different shapes. This one will be perfect in the lead up to Christmas as it says Christmas but isn't over the top. I am wearing three thin coats and again application was simple. I hope you've enjoyed these polishes, I know I have!


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

Tuesday Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness nail art


It's Tuesday again so time to put on the pink and blue. This time I used OPI Mod About You as a base colour. The nedium pink is a custom from Powder Perfect, the dark pink is OPI Sparrow Me the Drama and the blue is OPI What's With the Cattitude. I used my largest dotting tool, then a coat of top coat to smooth the bumps and I finished with Celestial Cosmetics matte top coat which is my favourite matte top coat.

Have a great day, Tx



Hollish - Spring collection


Today I have to share with you a gorgeous and bright spring collection from Hollish. It contains 4 of my favourite polishes - microglitters!! So that makes me super happy. all of these polishes are available now at the Hollish Etsy store.

First in the pretty in pink microglitter Fuchsia. Super easy to apply, as always I'm wearing a base coat. One of the great things about these polishes is you can choose to wear them with or without a top coat, so you kind of have two polishes in one. A nice texture polish or put on some top coat and you have a shiny microglitter. I am wearing two coats and application was excellent.



Next up is Lavender, for this one the above photo has top coat and the below photo is without to give you an idea of the two ways you can wear it. Again application was flawless and I am wearing 2 coats.



Wow this beauty is my favourite in this range, named Cormflower it truly is gorgeous and a colour not often seen in polish. I personally love the colour and it's drawn me right in. Above photo is without top coat and the below is with top coat. Again super easy application and I am wearing two coats.



Va va va voom - I know a statement like that is usually reserved for red but this green is stunning. This is Grass a lovely leaf green microglitter. Again above is without top coat and below has top coat. Another flawless application and I am wearing two coats.



Now we move into two very spring inspired glitter toppers. This is Bloom and it has a bright mixture of micro to medium sized hex and square glitter in bright shades of pink, green, blue and lavender. I used one dabbed coat and top coat.



Lastly is Settle Petal! Another glitter topper with fun bright colours in shades of blue, green, caramel, pink and lavender. I used one dabbed coat again and top coat.

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

Powder Perfect We've Met Before and Once Upon a Dream


These two polishes from Powder Perfect are both stunning. The deep dusty mauve is so pretty and full of shimmer. The Taupe is a fantastic colour with shimmer, flakies and a tiny sprinkle of glitter. I wanted to wear them together so used some vinyl waves from Celestial Cosmetics. They were great to use, not too sticky and they were easy to remove.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, Tx

The Dance a collaboration with myself and Hayley from Emily de Molly for Wave of Polish Auctions


This is The Dance a collaboration with myself and Hayley from Emily de Molly for Wave of Polish Auctions. http://www.myminiauction.com/waveofpolish

This year my daughter should be in her last year of high school here in Tasmania and at the end of the school year is a huge event for the teens called their Leaver's Dinner, similar to what I imagine a prom would be. So it's kind of one of those years for me, where it's noticeable that a big event should be happening in her life but she'll never get to do it - we'll never get to do it. I should be arguing over dresses and their appropriateness, sharing the excitement of who she will go with and finding that dream vehicle for her to arrive in. I knew I wanted this years collaboration polish to reflect all of that and in some small way give me a chance to be involved and to share with others, just like what would be happening if we had her here. In a way Hayley and I did have some angst with the perfect 'dress', what I thought I wanted just didn't work and maybe as with all Mums was a bit too young. After driving Hayley crazy (thanks Hayley) out of the blue she came up with this polish and we both knew she 'had' it. The Dance has a a darkened magenta base filled with colour shifting shimmer that changes from pink to gold, what teen girl wouldn't want that on her fingers? There are 10 numbered bottles of this available and then that's it, it will never be made again.

Now the name has two meanings, The Dance as obviously Grace would be off to her first formal dance and The Dance by Garth Brooks is a song I can really relate to and listened to so often in the early years. It's so true I could have missed the pain of losing our precious daughter but to do so would mean I never would have had the joy of having her in our lives.

Thanks for making it this far (lyrics below)

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
Holding you, I held everything
For a moment, wasn't I a king?
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say? You know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
The dance
