The Great Aussie Polish Challenge, Day 7- Northern Lights


It's Day 7, and the final day, of The Great Aussie Polish Challege. A week of Australian polish worn the Australian way! Today I have a polish I just knew I *had* to have when I saw it on another blog and it involved a number of phone calls and a 188km round trip. Nail It! Northern Lights is an Aussie polish sold by an Aussie clothing/accessories chain called Sportsgirl which has stores dotted throughout the wide country of Australia. I tracked down the last of the bottles in the lovely coastal rural town of Sorrento, but to obtain the pretty polish I had to make a day trip with a girlfriend as they wouldn't do interstore transfers, erk! A day trip, lunch, shopping and polish purchasing was had and I came away victorious with my bottle of Northern Lights :)

The photo's really don't capture the loveliness of this polish. It looks amazing on and is so eye-catching that you stop and stare at your nails alot! I did 2 Coats and the drying time was good, but a nice pair of undies will make sure you don't have to do any more than 2 coats. I would have never have thought to look at Sportsgirl for nail polish but now I know to check them out to see what gems they have. The Great Aussie Polish Challenge has been alot of fun and I would love to do it again feature great Indie Aussie Polishes as there are more coming onto the scene which deserve some showcasing :)


I will leave you with a final shot of someone who loves to check out my polish so much that he jumped into my lightbox to see the Northern Lights! LOL. This is Tiller the polish curious kitteh :)

    Northern Lights is amazing! Sadly I don't think I've seen anything quite so interesting in Sportsgirl before, although they have a new glitter called 100s and 1000s which is basically Rainbow Connection, but all the same size... d'oh!

      It would be great if they could do a range of interesting polish rather than just the one off!

    I didn't even know Sportsgirl sold nail polish (not that'd i've walked into there stores in a while). What a lovely excuse to go don to Sorrento (i'm presuming your meaning the VIC one?)!!

    By the way I nominated you for The Liebster Award! Details on my page :)

      I wouldn't have walked into the store either! I have outgrown Sportsgirl a while ago :) Yes, it was the Vic Sorrento, sunny day, beach and polish was a fun day :)

      Oh Wow, thanks so much for that! I will have to check out your blog page as find what The Liebster Awards are all about. You're so kind :)
