Today I have a polish brand that is new to me. Well new in the sense that I had never tried it, only heard of it. It's Catrice Oh My Goldness! It's a densely packed glitter/shimmer in a clear base. I only needed to coats, but I added a third for the photo. I was a bit unsure of the colour at first. While its name indicates gold, it leans towards a coppery orange. Once I put it on I ended up loving it. I think it looks great on me, but I'm not sure it will look good on all skintones.
My favourite part of this polish would have to be the brush. Right when I started using it I KNEW it was my new favourite brush. Now my nails aren't wide, but they aren't tiny. I personally like wide brushes over skinny brushes, they are easier for me to use. This brush was a wide brush, but not too wide. The thing that made me love this brush was the flexibility of the brush. It wasn't too floppy, or too stiff, which meant I had perfect control. This meant it wasn't too wide for narrow nails, like my pinky. And at the same time I meant I also got good coverage on wider nails because the brush spread out just enough to easily paint them without ever feeling limp.
Overall I loved this polish, and would love to try out some more from them. Do you guys have a favourite?

Thanks to Rose Wholesale I can now be more like Beyoncé...Minus Jay-Z.
So what you are about to see is our first non polish, but still beauty related post(We've had loads of random nothing to do with beauty posts). When we started this blog our intent was to be a mostly nail blog, with other beauty stuff too...we just never got around to that...Until now.
A company called Rose Wholesale contacted us to review some of their products. After having a look at their website, and looking them up online(since this was my first encounter with them) I decided to say yes. The Best way to describe Rose Wholesale to you guys is it's the Born Pretty of fashion. Clothing, shoes, jewelry, you name it, they have it for next to nothing. I will admit the site is a bit overwhelming as they have thousands of items. Here is the first of three Items I have to show you.
First is this "Chic Style Solid Color Embellished Nail Wrap Shape Alloy Ring For Women", in bronze(also comes in gold and silver). It was one of those things, you look at it and think "You're so weird...I need you". It reminded me of some crazy claw finger, that someone like Beyoncé would wear. I was on the fence about getting this because it was one size. Eventually I figured if it didn't fit I would figure out a way to Macgyver it. To my excitement whenI tried it on it fit PERFECTLY on my middle finger. You should know 2 things about my fingers. 1)They are skinny 2) They are long. My middle finger is almost 13cm from knuckle to tip. The ring is 11cm long and did not fit too tight or too loose around my finger. Even though the ring covered my whole finger I was still able to use and bend it normally and I was in no way worried about breaking it. I didn't take a photo of it, but I can easily make a fist while wearing it.
I kind of love this ring. No, it may not be an everyday ring, or for everyone, but I can't wait to wear this on a night out *cough*newyears*cough*. It's bold and fun, and perfect for the skinny, long fingered people out there. And I can still hold my beer comfortably. This ring retails for $3.38 USD. Shipping costs depend on what you are getting and weight. BUT small items like this generally ship for free :D. Also shipping usually take a few weeks, but when shipped from far away(China), with normal shipping, a few weeks is normal.
Could you get away with wearing something like this? Beyoncé could.

It looks like I killed a snake in battle, and I am now wearing his snake armor as a warning to others.

It has been far too long since my Last Doctor Who manicure. Time to whip out the Nerd Lacquer.
First off I can now officially say people have asked me for my autograph more than once, and second, my autograph is horrible. Problems eh?
Anyways I did another one of those fan fiction shows and as always it was super fun(even when I had to put someones hand in my mouth). The theme this month was again Doctor Who. I was going to wear my TARDIS dress but there was a TARDIS console built on the stage. So if I dressed like a TARDIS standing in the TARDIS that would be some weird paradox stuff I want to steer clear of. So I decided instead to go as Jack Harkness!
I decided I wanted to keep my manicure simple. So all I did was use 2 coats of OPI's You Don't Know Jacques Suede, and on top of that I used 1 coat of Nerd Lacquer's Exterminate(My first NL BTW). I used this specifically because a Dalek is what kills him the first time. And since I didn't have a jacket for him I decided to do a simplified version of the detailing on the shoulders of his jacket for accent nails. On my thumb and ring fingers I used Sephora By OPI's Break a Leg Warmer and OPI's My Pointe Exactly(I JUST realized they were both from two separate ballet collections :P). And I also used a combo of Dior's Bronze Libertine and Chanel's Graphite for the button.
I like how it turned out. Simple, but I like it.

EX-TER-MIN-ATE!!! NO! CEL-E-BRATE!!!
Celebrate 500 followers!
Woot thank you everyone! Here's to another 500 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 more!
Now just a quick post so we can all get back to celebratory drinking.
I wore these Dalek inspired nails for a show I did that involved Doctor Who(I do a lot of those don't I?). While I have already done Dalek inspired nails these ones in my opinion look 1 000 000 times cooler. One of my male friends who thinks my love of nails is crazy and is always rolling his eyes at me actually called these nail "gorgeous". Victory!
PS. We will have a giveaway soon enough. And you had better have a favourite member of Take That :P

All I used was OPI's You Don't know Jacques Suede, OPI's Black Onyx, striping tape, microbeads, and rhinestones. I have had this on for 5 days so far. No chipping, or even tip wear :).
Now we can party!
