I love this skirt, it feels so nice and fresh. Even though it's not my usual summer colour scheme of pinks and oranges I still really love it for summer!
It makes me think of a nice summer walk along the riverside or something...
Plus it's really quite comfortable. But you do need a slip under it as there's a rather bit slit at the front...

Well I like wearing it!

The beautiful blue skirt is from my favourite shop: Max (or maxshop.com)
My black blouse with the white bow is from another favourite of mine: Glassons.
The black cardi is also from Glassons, my beautiful cute blue shoes are from bargain place, K-Mart, and my leggings (which are great by the way!) are from Farmers... They're a special "shape wear" brand, and the fabric is really nice to wear, although I did get a little hot.

Well I hope you like my sort of summer outfit as much as I did!

So I cut my nails a little too short :(

But hey, new nail polish makes me feel ok.

I also decided to try out the new foil I had received... Much, much harder to apply that anyone could have thought haha. I tried breaking up bits with tweezers but I just could not make even sized tiny bits... Then applying them wasn't any easier...

I'll give it a go again in the future... For now they'll do shiny and a beautiful vibrant red...

Red: China Glaze- Ruby Pumps, gold foil and my favourite Seche Vite top coat...

So today I wanted to try another striping tape manicure.. This time I wanted to try pulling it off for a really nice crisp straight line...
I started with my new Seche Vite base coat, the applied one of my FAVOURITE polishes "rockstar pink", so sparkly and colourful!
Then when completely dry, applied my striping tape and painted over with "Lincoln Park After Dark" by OPI (which is actually a really dark purpley colour- not black)... When that was dry removed the tape, applied my Seche Vite top coat and voila...

Well I couldn't wait to try out my new nail polish! (This is Glittering Garland by China Glaze) and my new striping tape...

So here is today's experiment...
My first time with striping tape, not very original I know...

China Glaze: Glittering Garland with a helping of Seche Vite top coat (the best around!)

Also I found that the tape started to peel a little at the ends... Despite my application of top coat (perhaps i'll try a little more next time?)

These photos are after a hard days wear at work - which involves a lot of typing (and tapping nails on the desk, much to the annoyance of my colleagues... Whoops)

Hope you like them too! :)

BTW used the new Seche Vite base coat, it's rather nice it creates a smooth almost matt finish which then (I assume) makes a nice gripping surface for the coat of nail polish... I tried it over my Sally Hansen nail Hardener and I didn't see too much difference to when I use it alone (it just made my manicure feel a bit thicker... Mind you the Seche Vite top coat does that anyway....)

Enjoy!
Sorry about the bad layout, posting on my phone again, whoop whoop!
