This is actually a totally random polish. It didn't have a name on it when I bought it because I got it second hand/used. But it's a really pretty natural nude-y brown color. 
I painted this crazy intense blue to match my outfit for today, which will be shown in an upcoming post. This nail polish is from Sportsgirl and true to the colour, it is called Sapphire.
This colour actually has a lot of sentiment to it since it was the polish that started my polish crazy. I wasn't hugely into nail polish about 2 years ago but I did have a small collection. One day I randomly painted my nails with this colour and from then on I've been a nailpolish-holic. I remember thinking this was the perfect dark colour that almost looked black but wasn't so it didn't have that gothic feel to it. Now looking at it, it just looks blue lol. I have know idea what I was looking at, clearly. The only reason why I don't wear this colour more often and the fact that this is the only Sportsgirl polish I own is because Sportsgirl polishes are incredible difficult to work with. They become gluggy and streaky and if you try to fix it with more layers then everything gets ruined all together. Oddly enough, this time it was pretty hassle free. Maybe I'm getting better at application..? hmm.. I did have to shake it a lot to get enough product onto the brush.
Overall I think all that drama and complication is worth it for this amazing colour. It was a pretty pricey polish, costing $7.95 but I will definitely be purchasing it again purely for the sentimental value. Good thing it's part of their permantent line.

Super slack blogger lol So I skipped two weeks of 'mani monday' blogging. Pure laziness and bogged out partying caused this haha
Used my new Mimco nail polish 2 weeks ago and topped it with my super cool changing-colour-inthe-sun glitter polish
Last week I played around with this love heart design. I took a picture and removed it afterwards because I wasn't really liking it. Maybe for another time.
On the Tuesday night I was in a huge rush to meet up with my friends for dinner and I didn't have time to properly do my nails. But I still wanted to do them so I tried to multi-task, whilst driving. It didn't really work out haha And NOOO I didn't crash. I just had to paint my nails when I got there, super quickly and kinda messily.
When I got my Mae Movement bracelets in, I changed my nails to this shimmery pink to match the Bright Pink bracelet. I layered Inglot's 304 over OPI's Sparrow me the Drama
And finally, this weeks nails are gold, Gold Rush to be exact, from Revlon. Kinda to go with all the rose gold I've been wearing. I actually do have a rose gold nail polish but I thought that was wayyy too much rose gold. So balancing it out with different toned gold. Plus it's new and my mummy brought it for me ^^ she's so sweet

Back to basics. I'm loving this simple polished nail look. I've been so obsessed with color and sparkles that I just need some neutral to calm it all down. I can't stand not having something on my nails but I really needed a break from colored nail polish so this is a really good alternative. It's not super neutral so your nails won't look like mannequin nails, it's just perfectly sheer with hints of natural color to give that perfect clean polished look.

It always seems to take me a few tries before I'm happy with my nail color. 
After painting them OPI's Banana Bandanna and Essie's Wife goes on with OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle tips, I finally ended up being the most happy with OPI's Sparrow me the Drama.

So since starting up a tumblr account I've been posting my outfit of the day and nail of the day there. But after trying to stick it out for a bit, I'm not a huge fan of tumblr. So I'm just gonna update what color my nails have been the last few weeks.
This was last weeks nails. ChiChi's Wednesday as a black base and Gone Gonzo! on the top
I finally managed to apply this polish, with much difficulty I might add. This was two coats and it took forever to dry. Once it did try and I made sure it was completely dry, I went to bed and the next morning it had like tiny scratches and fabric marks on it. So even though the top layer was dry, the polish it self was still vulnerable to pressure or something. I'm not too sure, this polish is pretty unsatisfying to me and I wouldn't spend money on this. 
The week before that I had my Revlon's Sheer Blossom as a light sheer pink base and OPI's Teenage Dream pink glitter tips 
Just a simple grey color with glitter tip. OPI's Skull and glossbones
I didn't get a chance to take a snap shot of my nails before I went to Sydney since I did them like 2-3hrs before boarding the plan and I didn't use a top coat. So when I got home these are the horrendous looking nails I was left with after 3 days lol OPI's Sparrow me the Drama and OPI's Rainbow Connection

This was one of my favorite manicures I had last month, mainly because it surprised me how much I liked it. The red just came out really nicely for the season and the glitter tips just fancied it up. When I first ordered this polish I was super excited because the bottle looked like it would be a really pretty hot pink, I didn't really look any further into it and search for swatches but when I received it in the mail and swatched it myself I was disappointed at how red it actually was. I put off using it for a long time because I was disappointed. I don't know what came over me that day but I decided to use it and I really love how it turned out. I wanna paint my nails this again but I afraid that it might not be as pretty the second time around, since sometimes first impressions are better plus my nails are shorter now so maybe this looked better with long nails. I don't know lol 
I think we are all caught up now.
