Nails: Butter London, Knackered

Recently I have really being liking Butter London Polishes, so when i made an order on Adore Beauty I new I couldn't checkout without a Butter London Polish in my cart! I decided to chose the color called knackered, FleurDeForce mentioned this on her blog a while back I thought it was the most amazingly gorgeous color!  Knackered is a duo-chrome, holographic polish with hints of glitter! Depending on the light the polish can either look a lavender color or a greeny color! 
Although once applied this polish is gorgeous, it does take a lot of coats and hence a long drying time as the polish is incredibly sheer. The polish applies smooth and I experienced no Streaking!  I used the Revlon Quick Dry Base coat as a base coat and the as a top coat I used Sally Hansens Insta-Dri Top coat.  By using this top coat it does help quicken the drying time and creates a clean. glossy finish! I would definitively recommend trying out knackered, even though the drying time isn't the quickest, the amazing, unique color that you get in the end is totally worth the wait!  Love D! x

Nail: Touch of Red (M.A.C Hey Sailor Collection)

When I heard about the M.A.C Hey Sailor Collection I knew I had to pick up a few things! One of the things I purchased was the Nail Lacquer called "Touch of Red". Touch of Red is the first M.A.C Nail Lacquer that i have used and i can officially say that I'm impressed! 


This Polish is a great red! Its shiny, glossy and i love the way it looks. I feel like its a very classy and sophisticated color!  It does take a few coats to become completely opaque, but this polish has exceptional shine and gloss.I didn't experience any streaking, and the polish lasted 3 days before i experienced any sign of chipping. Of course a great top coat plays a huge role in this, I used the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Polish. On the M.A.C website it states that this Nail Polish has UV Protection and conditioners, this can only be a positive :) ! 



Overall I love this polish and if you can get your hands on it I highly recommend it!! 
You can Purchase 'Touch of Red' on The M.A.C Website and at MAC Counters at David Jones and Myer. 
LOVE D!

Nails: OPI Diva of Geneva





Diva of Geneva is another amazing color by OPI! 
It is part of their 2010 Swiss Collection and I love love love
 this polish!!

 It is a deep purple, Magenta color with a tiny bit of deep pink and micro shimmer.! It is perfect or the fall and winter! 

 Diva of Geneva went on smoothly and easily, and it did not streak at all! With two coats it is completely opaque and it drys really quickly.For the top coat,  I used Sally Hansens Nail Shine Miracle Top Coat, as it gives a extremely shiny, glossy and beautiful finish. Although this top coat takes a while to dry, it is totally worth the wait.  


This is a perfect color for a formal event on your nails or toe nails and for me it usually lasts at least 3 days without chipping. 





This is one of my favorite and most worn nail polishes! In Australia you can purchase OPI polishes at David Jones Stores and local boutiques.




Love D xoxo
