Kalidoscope

Okay so I remember the gorgeous Stiletto asking how it is that cars have so many GORGEOUS chameleons and multichromes and yet we're stuck with boring duochromes!
I picked this up at my local random dusty polish place for AU$3!

It's from US #1 Beauty (Anyone heard of these guys? I haven't!) and apprently this one is toluene and formadehyde free (if you're into that...)

I COULD NOT capture the amazing multichrome in this, it keeps showing up as a green/purple duo instead of the blue/purple/green/yellow magnificence that it should be!









I'm considering getting a heap of these for a giveaway! Anyone interested?

Dream Catcher... is orange?

Hi everyone!
My posts are a bit all over the place right now as I'm trying to get my sleeping pattern back to normal.
I woke up at 9.30am today (compared to 6pm that's pretty good!) but I feel rotten like I just want to sleep for a week. Bleh.

Oh well, on to the nails!
This is "Dream Catcher" from Nicole by OPI, another from "The Haul" - and yes I'm nearly done swatching these!
I noticed something strange when I was swatching this, normally I'll google the nail polish before I swatch (or as I do it) to see what other people's opinions on he polish are and what it looks like on them, with this one I found something very weird... look here...

As you can see this is COMPLETELY different to the bottle i have, which looks like this... (also, have you seen the Nicole by OPI bottles? What the HECK is going on with the mad shape?)




Does anyone know what the crazy is going on here?
Anyway...here's what THIS version of Dream Catcher looks like on me...
This was 3 coats.








I really like this, I used to have a colour that was almost exactly the same as this years ago, but I have no idea where it went! Or what it was called, or who by. Blech. I just remember it had a shiny red metal handle on the brush and you can get them in Priceline here in Aus... Oh well! I have this now!

Groove Thang...

Hello again lovelies! This is what I had on a couple of days back - another from "The Haul" - Colour Club's Groove Thang!

It looked awesome in the bottle - I couldn't wait to try this! Green and purple duochrome shimmer on black! YUM!

Unfortunately... it wasn't. On my nails it just looked plain black - maybe a tiny, tiny, tiiiiiny, hint of colours if I pressed my nails into my eyeballs... I was disappointed. I might try this with matte and see what happens at a later stage.

Excuse my insanely crappy photos today - I was desperate to capture the colours!










Oh well! I can never have too much black polish! (My previous bottle had turned to glug city - adding thinner just made it separate and... uh... chunks... ew...)
Love,
