Mariah Carey Holiday Collection 2013 Swatches & Review

Hey Everyone!

Today I have five of the Mariah Carey Holiday Collection 2013 polishes to share with you. This collection includes 18 polishes and features a range of glitters, cremes, shimmers and liquid sands. The colors in this collection are perfect for the upcoming Christmas season and I'm hoping to get a lot of use out of them.

L to R - Underneath the Mistletoe, Ski Slope Sweetie, My Favourite Ornament, All Sparkly and Gold & Sleigh Ride for Two.

First up, is All Sparkly and Gold. This is a dark gold glitter in a clear base, prefect for Christmas. 3 coats.

My Favourite Ornament is a white gold is a clear base. A very dense glitter, 3 coats. I am definitely going to be using this one a lot!

Ski Slope Sweetie is a white and gold shimmer. This is just gorgeous and can be layered over other colors. 3 coats.

Sleigh Ride for Two is a dark chocolate red shimmer with a hint of purple. Definitely a christmas staple. 2 coats.

Last but not least, my favourite, Underneath the Mistletoe. This is a red jelly full of tiny glitters. Absolutely gorgeous! 2 coats.

And because I love this polish so much I have to share more than one picture!

Well there you have it, five of the Mariah Carey Holiday Collection. These are all gorgeous polishes and I can't wait to continue to use them as we approach Christmastime. I will definitely be looking out for the rest of this collection, I would love to get the liquid sands. Let me know which is your favourite in the comments below.

That's all for now, thanks for taking a look!

Distressed Nails - inspired by Chalkboard Nails

Hey everyone,

Today I have some nail art to share with you. I saw Chalkboard Nails recent tutorial for this and just had to give it a go. It was very simple and I got heaps of people asking me how I did it. If you would like to see the tutorial by Chalkboard Nails you can check it out here. 

I used Sinful Colors 'Snow Me White' for the base, BarryM 'Blueberry', 'Prickly Pear' and 'Grapefruit' and Opi 'Black Onyx'

I will definitely be trying this again in the future with different colours and I'd also like to try it with a matte top coat.

Thanks for stopping by!

First Blog Post

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog! I've decided to start a blog to share my nail art and nail polishes with everyone. I started doing my nails about a year ago and my collection of polishes has multiplied. I've been planning to start this blog for a while now but I decided to finish University for the year first so I could focus on it more. 
So first a bit about myself, I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I have just finished my second year of a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Accounting and Commercial Law. Painting my nails has become a hobby for me to get away from my studies and be a little bit creative. 
If you would like to know more about why I started this blog, my plans for it and how I decided on the name 'skinny nails', as well as a little more about myself, check out my about me page here.
