NAILSXO WORLD CUP NAILS 2014 - HONDURAS

Hello everyone!! I had the opportunity to participate in Nailsxo World Cup Nails and nothing could have held me back, I had just purchased acrylic paints for my nail art and this was the perfect time to test them out. Emily (Nailsxo) paired each of us up with a country competing in the 2014 World Cup, then it was all up to us to create a manicure that represented the country, culture and/or FIFA.

I received Honduras which is a lovely country with white sand beaches and beautiful clear waters non of which are ever crowded :)

Ciate Very Colourfoil Manicure Carnival Couture

Living in New Zealand has many upsides but in terms of makeup and nail polish there are many downsides such as not being able to purchase any Ciate nail polish, I have had my eye on this kit online for many months but just refused to pay an arm AND a leg to buy it. But today I am happy to bring you Ciate Very Colourful Manicure kit all thanks to one of the many pop up makeup sales that decided to import some Ciate kits :)

ORLY PRETTY-UGLY

From the Orly Spring 2013 Mash-Up Collection I bring you Pretty-Ugly (and by all means is it definitely not ugly in any sense of the word) This is one unique shade of mint blue with aqua shimmer that craves the sun. I did need 4 thin coats to achieve an even colour all over, this meant a long drying time and also kinda thick looking in places as you can see around some of my tips.
