Welcome to the next installment of the Australian polish brands: Colour by TBN.

Here are just some of the displays I found recently:

I picked up some interesting shades on my journeys - swatches below.

As some of you might know, Australia Day is January 26,

so I decided to spend a bit of time this month showcasing the Australian brands that I love!

I know many have heard of Picture Polish and Ozotic (great brands I've heard, but out of my price range);
but I wanted to focus on the brands that are more affordable, as well as showing Aussie indies.

We have many talented ladies, who make incredible polish!

So stay tuned this month for special reviews!

Cheers))

Update on a previous post

Just a quick update on a previous post.

A couple more colours from TBN I picked up and a star magnet.

First up is Drawn Together.

Direct Sunlight

With Flash

Lamp Light

 I can't say enough great things about this polish! 

The formula is amazing and the hidden shimmers start to dance in the sun light. It is very rare to find a magnetic that is a lighter colour, let alone one that reacts so well! I would absolutely recommend this to everyone. Planning to wear it as a normal polish (opaque in one coat).

And the other one I got is Opposites Attract.

Direct Sunlight

With Flash

Lamp Light

 This one is a bit thicker, but nothing a few drops of thinner won't fix))

I like the glimmer of green in the gold! 

But it didn't hold the design as well as some of the other brands.

I got these at a chemist (2 polish plus a magnet for $7)

Thanks for stopping by!

Showing my 'stache - Red

Time to show you my true colours yet again.

As you can see the colour of the day is RED!

Classic yet  modern and very versatile!

Do you like fridge magnets?

I do! I collect them))) So if you ever want to send me a little one from where you are - feel free!

As promised, today's post is all about Australian magnetic polishes.
Since Sally Hansen magnetics are costing around $17 (!), I found some wallet-friendly alternatives.

When bloggers meet up (aka EPIC HAUL)

Yesterday I had an awesome experience of meeting up with a fellow blogger - Mai from Nanna Nap! 

It was so much fun!!! Amazing to be able to talk face-to-face about the stuff we write and read about (although she did call me a "crazy enabler" LOL). 

As you would expect, the day was spent hunting polish and chatting)))

We found some fantastic polishes and I had my very first LUSH store experience!

Where in the World - Day 4 Israel

Getting back to the Where in the World? challenge, hosted by Gosia from Life in Color! and Jin from Superficially Colorful. The next country is Israel and for my inspiration I chose the Wailing Wall:

I have never been to Jerusalem or any part of Israel, but this was the first thing that came to mind.
