Face Of Australia Some Like It Hot and OPI Jinx- Orange for Untried May

Hello...orange..do you love it or hate it? I never gave orange polish much thought in the past apart from "only old people wear orange"..boy was I wrong. Corals and oranges are amongst some of my most fave polishes to wear, neon on toes is a must for summer and suprisingly the brighter the better on my nails is the only way to go. So, I was out and  about and saw Face of Australia had a sale in Big W. So I thought I was ping the barcode on the Screen Siren collection and to my suprise they were a whole $1.75, so of course..they all came home with me. This collection is all inspired by Marilyn Monroe and this one is called Some Like It Hot and is a bright leaning neon orange.

Then to add a bit of bling I thought I would do texture tips with OPI Jinx which is a Coral orange but looks like I dipped my fingers in sugar!

So, this wasn't particularly nail arty, but I sometimes the simple manis are the most effective. I really loved how this one looked. The contrast in the oranges and the textures was so bling and I really didn't want to take it off!

Catrice Call Me Princess- Texture for Untried May

Happy Monday! Today I have for you my first Catrice and one of my newest untried's in my collection courtesy of the lovely Lab Muffin who muled some polish for me from Switzerland! So cool :) She sent me this Catrice Texture polish called Call Me Princess, so when I saw Texture for May 3rd on The Amy's Untried Challenge I had to see what it was like! Now, can I just say, this is sooo glarey and in-your-face pink with gold shimmer texture and I love it because of it! For this swatch I used 2 coats of Call Me Princess and I was lucky enough to catch some sun in between the cold and miserable rain this is our weather in Australia.. can you tell I miss summer??

This is actually a really pretty pink texture and super fun for when you are feeling girly and reminds me of a pink version of OPI Jinx. The formula was really good and this was 2 coats but I think it could have done with a 3rd coat. What do you think about this? It's pretty much a love or hate polish and I do love it, LOL.
