Color Club Halo Hues: Kismet


Kismet is one of the latest colours from Color Club's Halo Hues collection! Usually I am not a huge fan of holo greens, but Kismet was actually my favourite out of the three!

The formula is very nice, it has that nice thin but opaque quality to it. I am wearing two coats here.

At the moment you can buy the first lot of Halo Hues from USA Nails Online (new zealand) for $19.90 each. The second lot, which Kismet is a part of, will be released on April 1st.

Color Club Halo Hues: Eternal Beauty


 Eternal Beauty is one of the latest colours from Color Club's Halo Hues collection! Eternal Beauty reminds me of China Glaze's sought after LOL. This is two coats here. The amount of holographic-ness in these babies are just amazing!

Color Club Halo Hues: Beyond



Beyond is one of the latest colours from Color Club's Halo Hues collection! Beyond looks fabulous in the sunlight! Soooo holoooo...

I am wearing two coats here. However when I wore it for two days it was mighty chippy along the tips! I don't know if it was the basecoat combo or the heavy load of housework, maybe a mixture of the two? I will experiment and let you know :)

Nail Art : Skullies and Mr. Juice


The lovely ladies on FaceBook have heard about the wonderful Mr. Juice, so it's time he appeared on NJ! Mr. Juice is a bit of a creative man so I asked him if he could paint me some little skulls to stick on my nails. He had a little play around last night with OPI Alpine Snow, a plastic sandwich bag and a fine paint brush.



We let them dry overnight so they'd peel off more easily. I chucked on some base coat, lay the decal down, gave it a little push to make sure it was stuck on securely and topped it off with some top coat.



I wanted some skullies on my nails too! Most of the designs were a little too big for my nails so I put them on my thumbs like Mr. Juicey.



I used two coats of OPI Black Onyx first, lay the decals on each thumb. For the rhinestones I dabbed a little bit of base coat down first where I wanted them, then used a toothpick with the tip dipped in base coat to pick up the stone and placed it down. Give it a little push and wiggle to make sure it gets stuck into the polish,
