Nubar Pasadena Purple Guest Post

Hey all! Yer, it's nearly 4am here and I am still awake. Why, you ask? I am have stupid neck/back pain. I woke up this morning in agony and like an idiot I didn't call my Osteopath when I should have. Can I just say this is not the first time I have woken up incapacitated from torticollis, or for the non medical, a wry neck that wont freakin' move and is agonizing  I've been having a hard week. Dentist appointment, doctors appointment and two trips to the vets for both my cats. *Warning Cat talk ahead* My little white cat had a funny lump which I fretted over and the vet thinks its a cyst, the next day my little black cat refused to come out from under the bed or eat post a cat fight outside. Considering how social and needy he usually is I was quite worried. Some antibiotics and time later he seems to be much better..he says hi from my lap right now! I'm also sad to here about TikiBarbie's Charlie who is so sweet and sick, so sending healing thoughts her way :(

Onto the polish.

Purple! Flakie! Braidy!

I had the honor of doing a guest post for Cathy of More Nail Polish  and you can see it here: More Nail Polish Guest Post where I did the above half fishtail braid mani with lovely Nubar Pasadena Purple. I am sure you already know how fabulous Cathy and her blog are....but you can check out my  fully blog post contribution and that of other awesome Aussie Nails chicks on her blog. What are you waiting for? Go check it out. I'll have something fun for you tomorrow.. so see you then!

Aussie Nails Monday- Fishtail

It's Monday! You know what Monday means..it means Aussie Nails Monday challenge and today it's Fishtails :) Fishtails could be like, here fishy, fishy..but I chose the braided fishtail mani which were quite popular a few months ago. For my take on the braided fishtail mani I did a half nail which started out chevron in shape and evolved it into the braid.

For this mani I used 2 coats of Nail It! Moonlight Sparks which I purchased from Sportsgirl (for those in Australia) and the braid with Moonlight Sparks, China Glaze Millennium and Nail It! Love Potion (a lovely green/blue duo). This polish reminds me of both Butter London Wallis and A-England Beauty Never Fails which I think would be it's darker cousin.  There is a bit of pic spam here because I really loved how this turned out :)

 Dark Green/Gold sparkly flecks! Loooove :)

 All pics were taken in the shade..I image greater blingyness in the sun :)

This was 2 coats of Moonlight Sparks which applied really well. I very much enjoyed this look and really want to replicate it with all nails with the half braided chevron tips again! I also picked up a red version on this polish called Volcanic Sparks to show you later on in the week. What do you like or not like about this look? Hope your week is starting off great :)
