Sinful Colors – S...

A very quick one today because I have the Melbourne Beauty Blogger Event to get ready for, and go to!  So there will be more pictures than words in this post. Sinful Colors’ Secret Admirer is a gorgeous black with silver shimmer.  Two coats and I was done.  It...

TBN – Glitter

TBN, you called this lacquer Glitter. Really? I’ve farted more interesting things than that name. Trust me. Terrible name aside, this is a lovely layering lacquer.  It would never get to opaque on its own as the base is clear and the glitter too sparse.  But for layering,...

TBN – Aqua

As I’ve mentioned before, TBN have totally mastered creams.  The shimmers and glitters, not so much.  And this is a perfect example. Seriously, look at that bottle.  Isn’t that one of the most beautiful colours you’ve ever seen.  A wonderful...

TBN – Raspberries...

Every so often you get a lacquer that looks precisely like it’s namesake. And so it is with TBN’s Raspberries and Cream.  Well, minus the cream part. I don’t think I need to sell the merits of this one.  Blue red (albeit marginally more orange than a regular...

TBN – Blue Fluoro

Imagine your favourite blue highlighting pen.  Now imagine how that would look as a lacquer.  Actually, forget about imagining because it’s right here! TBN have totally nailed this.  It’s a true blue fluoro.  I feel like Sexy Smurf (is there any other...

TBN – Purple Rain

As you all know, I really like the TBN range of lacquers. They’re cheap and the colours I’ve tried to date have been lovely. Unfortunately, Purple Rain is not one of the TBNs I love.  In fact, I think I can safely say that this lacquer is the worst lacquer I’ve...

TBN – Midnight Bl...

Poor TBN. It’s not as beloved in Australia like it’s discount brand cousins, Ulta3 and BYS, but I’m here to change that! Diffused Light I LOVE THIS COLOUR!  It’s just beautiful.  Three coats to opaque and it dries smoother than a gigolo at ladies...

Great Aussie Swatch Wat...

Welcome to the April Great Aussie Swatch Watch! This month’s lacquer is Totally Beautiful Nails.  This lacquer doesn’t get as much as love in Australia as Ulta3 or BYS, but it’s a lacquer brand I absolutely rate.  The lacquers are great quality, they’re...

Totally Beautiful Nails...

Sometimes, I’ll pick up lacquers on the cheap and think to myself ‘You know, if you don’t turn me blind, I’ll consider it a success’. Totally Beautiful Nails is one of those brands where I had really, really, really low expectations.  $2.50. ...

Hey There, Wait A Minut...

As you all know, I love promoting Australian lacquers.  The only thing I love more than promoting them, is actually buying them and wearing them! Here are three Aussie treats from my recent Haulage-palooza. The first lot is from a brand called Ulta3. These are legendary in Australia...
