Lust Have It: August 2012

My Lust Have It arrived! This month they have really outdone themselves! I think it's an extra special box to celebrate their first birthday.

This months box came beautifully wrapped. Simple and classic.

The contents.

Nail Art: Owls and Butterfly Wings

I got these designs from cutepolish. She does great tutorials for simple nail designs that are, dare I say it, CUTE!

This is such a cute little owl. I'm not totally happy with it. I think the green and purple are too similar in tone and I put the feathers in the wrong place. The colours I used are OPI mermaids tears and 

do you lilac it?. 

NOTD

I just finished my post about Lush and thought it was a good time to upload todays nails (and postpone writing my essay).
I'm keeping it simple at the moment, a nice nude colour with a subtle glitter accent.

OPI You Callin' Me a Lyre and Pirouette My Whistle

This is a super easy look to do. I think I used about four coats of You Callin' me a Lyre to reach this opacity.

Lush: Bubble Bars

Hey all!

I stumbled upon a Lush store in Melbourne a few months back. I'd heard about lush from a few bloggers and vloggers online and was pretty keen to give it a go.
Here's a list of the bubble bars that I have tried/purchased so far.

Bubble Bar

I was really intrigued by the idea of a bubble bar. You get two uses out of each bar. Just crumble it up and mix it into the bath water as it is pouring. Swoosh the water around with your hand to make it bubble up more. The bubbles last a long time and add a beautiful moisturising quality to the water. 

Yuzu & Cocoa Bubbleroon

$6.50

I love skincare with Yuzu in it. It has a beautiful orange scent. This bar left me smelling gorgeous, and feeling invigorated and relaxed at the same time.

Bellabox: August 2012

Hey all!

One of the reasons I decided to do this blog was so I could properly review the sample box's I receive.

The first to arrive this month is Bellabox.

Hairspray!

Hey Guys,

I've just been to see the local production of Hairspray with my partner and his parents.
The cast a crew did a FANTASTIC job!

To go with all the bright colours I decided to do the nails in a beautiful blue:

This is actually a super cheap pick up. It's called Blue Marlin by a brand called Ulta3. I got it from the supermarket for $2. The blue caught my eye!

It's two coats over white. A good thickness, but got a little messy when applying.

Blog: The first.

Hey all!

Welcome to my blog.

A little about myself: 
I have only recently become addicted to nail polish. In December 2011 I purchased my first two decent bottles of nail polish: OPI Designer De Better; and Gettin' Miss Piggy With It.
I fell head over heels in love!

Since then I have been slowly increasing my collection. Now I live in what is considered "rural" Victoria, Australia, so I get super excited when I find/order new products (usually online). That's why I decided to start this blog. My boyfriend get's sick of listening to me!

I also love sharing pictures of my creations. You can find me on Instagram as Milly148.

This blog won't be all about nail polish, but I'll admit, it will be a dominant theme.
I am also in a loving relationship, studying nursing and am planning on teaching myself how to crochet soon.

To start us off are a number of photos of different polishes and designs that I've done so far.
I hope you enjoy!

Ahh! Look how messy this is! (OPI Scull and gloss bones)

(OPI do you lilac it)

Roses (I can't remember what colours I used here, sorry)

My first cloud mani (OPI Fly, designer de better, alpine snow and save me)

Gotta love mario brothers. I got this design from Cute Polish. 

(OPI did it on 'em and save me)

Cheers for now,

Milly x
