Welcome to all the new followers - I hope you like what you see and stick around after the giveaway!
The last few days of the blue month (aka April) were exciting for a couple of reasons:
1) I kind of happened to discover how awesome layering toppers can be and 2) the auction!
So let's start with the pretty fingers first:
added water drops for the wet look |
I started with Face Of Australia, then added Essence glitter and Nfu Oh flakes.
The result was pure awesomeness!!!!overcast day, but they were still very sparkly |
Oh what's this?
Just sneaky Nikolai |
In the end I used Hits London and Rimmel Disco Ball.
Awkward mani pose, anyone? |
it's kind of weird, but in a good way |
blurry for sparkles! |
(Fact: I'm not usually a fan of the holo finish, but these are nice colours)
I had no issues with application, but the holo was a bit dulled by SV.
Added a stamp using Tristam |
over OPI Eurso Euro
Flash brings out the blue |
sparkles galore! |
The Custom Blues for Autism auction finished on 30th April and.....
...
I had the highest bid for one of them!
The stunning custom polish from Alanna Renee is now on it's way - can't wait to swatch it!
All the proceeds went to ASPECT - you can find more information here.
Tara, who organised the event, did an incredible job: the auction raised over $3,500!
Have a look at Paint It Blue! for more statistics and to find out the highest bid.
Now that April is done, I can start my May swatch marathon - so stay tuned!
Thanks for stopping by!

They tend to chip easily, but top coat kills the holo! some of them are good for stamping though. And thank you - I am so happy to have a special bottle of polish that no one in the world has!
