Hello lovelies,

Hope you're all well and looking forward to the weekend! I'm a bit busy today so I'll keep it short and sweet ;)

This is a gold holographic glitter gradient using SpaRitual Soul and Models Own Fizzy Cola Bottles. The SpaRitual Soul has a mixture of hex and bar glitters in a clear base and I thought it might look interesting as a gradient. HERE is a link to my video about how I create glitter gradients.

It looks quite good, doesn't it? I was pleasantly surprised that even with this bigger glitter I was able to create a nice glitter gradient. Both polishes had nice formula to work with and I've sealed the manicure with Seche Vite top coat.

Hello lovelies,

It's finally happening!!! I have my own piCture pOlish collaboration shade and it's called Dragonfly! I've been lucky to be one of the winners of piCture pOlish Blog Fest 2013 and my polish is being released today! I'm beyond excited and I truly hope you will love it as much as I do. It wasn't easy to keep this secret for well over a year and I'm glad I can now share it with you.

So without a further ado, let me introduce to you, the Dragonfly:

Inspired by the beauty and elegance of dragonflies, this shade represents the ever-changing hints of colour in their wings... I was particularly inspired by this and this photograph. As much as I'm not keen on other insects, dragonflies fascinate me and many of their species are oh so beautiful! I wanted polish that would reflect that.

Dragonfly is a deep teal green with bijou holo finish (a mix of delicate small holo particles and coloured flecks that look amazing in bright sunlight and three dimensional in low lights). This dark colour is perfect for the Autumn/Winter season yet the subtle holographic finish will look stunning in the Summer sun too!

The formula is 5-free and as good as all the other piCture pOlishes which I'm very happy about. It applied very nicely and two coats were fully opaque. It dried fast and smooth but I still applied topcoat. I was a little afraid that it will stain but after wearing it for three days I had no staining! I wore OPI Ridge Filler Basecoat underneath.

What can I say, I love this polish so much and I'm so happy with how it came out! The bijou holo finish makes it quite special and is best visible in the shade and in the bottle. I want to say huge thanks to the ladies at piCture pOlish who worked with me on this and who made it all happen. It is really one of the dreams come true to have my blog name on the nail polish bottle! I will of course do a dragonfly nail art with it but as well but that's for another day ;)

You will be able to purchase piCture pOlish Dragonfly directly at www.picturepolish.com.au or at one of the international stockists: http://picturepolish.com.au/network. For the UK customers, the shops that will carry Dragonfly are Rainbow Connection and Sally Magpies.

Great news guys, I am giving away one bottle of Dragonfly to one of you! Unfortunately I can only ship within the UK so no international entries at this time please :( Click on the link below to access the Rafflecopter widget (for some reason I can't embed it):
