It's spring down-under!!

Its Spring in Australia! *cheers and general celebratory happiness* ANNNNDDDD since it's a new month, go and download the latest OPI calendar from their website! www.opi.com


This month's calendar theme is based on OPI Lincoln Park After Dark- which looks fabulous in both its original version as well as the suede and matte versions! =) Scrangie has some great swatches of these, so if you're curious, go check it out!

Anyhoo, I know it's been almost exactly one month since my last post buuuttttt, it's my mid-semester break right now (thank god) so hopefully I'll have time to post more! (fingers crossed that all the pictures I've been taking of my manis will actually make it up here xD)

Now, I know this is kinda corny and very much cliche.... but spring = FLOWERS!!! :D
Here are two of my flower-power manis!


For this mani, I used OPI PLanks a lot for the base (two coats). For the flowers, I used bobby pins for dotting - OPI DS Extravagance for the outer ring 'petals' and OPI Need Sunglasses? for the center of the flowers. I used a needle to dot the inner circle with Konad white Special Polish. You can use nail dotting tools to do this but bobbypins, toothpicks and needles will work just fine =)


I really love this second flower mani! I used OPI Dim Sum Plum as a base colour, OPI Steady As She Rose for the petals, OPI Need Sunglasses? for the center and Rimmel Double Decker red for the petal detailing.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post!
