So this stunner of a dress was actually gifted to me by my mother... She bought it and it wasn't for her so gave it to me...

I know I've put on a bit of weight lately and was having a bit of a crap time trying to wear all my pretty clothes that are now a little too tight... This dress suited me very nicely!
It is a loose-ish dress but comes in so nicely at the waist, it made me feel pretty and MyLove said it made me look very pretty :)

So, do you like it too?
Dress is from Farmers, Cardigan is from Glassons, belt is from Max, shoes are from Wild Pair and tights are from mmm Farmers(?)...
And my nails are very pretty and red with my new China Glaze :)
I had a bit more fun with my new striping tape...

I actually really like this design despite the fact that it looks a bit like a mummy on my fingers haha...

I started with a pastel cloud effect (you might remember this from this earlier post) 

I used a mixture of colours, including OPI. Australis and Revlon... The top colour is Revlon - White on White and a Seche Vite top coat (which I continue to be in love with!)

Enjoy, let me know your thoughts...








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...
