ANM: Ulta3

Hello.. I missed last weeks Aussie Nail Monday- the theme was rainbow, and I had planned a mani to show you. [See below, it's here a week late!!]



This week For ANM the theme is "Favourite Brand". If you read my last post I have quite an affinity/ obsession with the brand ulta3.

Loved everything ulta3 labelled Made in Aus, but had trouble getting used to the ulta3 that was Made in PRC.

Onto todays' mani- I woke my nephew to ask him to choose a colour.

I shake him awake and say, "Pick any colour, you don't have to open your eyes, just pick a colour."

"Blue", he says, rolling over.

"Wait, do you choose light blue or dark blue?", I also ask him.

"Light"...

I had to do that, or I would be drooling over my Helmer all day trying to choose one for today.

I also spotted an ulta3 I won from the company when the colour first came out- Pacific Fever..

So I went back to seek a light blue!
1 thicker coat, then 1 thinner coat to touch up any VNL, and Blue Heaven had arrived.

But it was on my right hand and I stuffed up the first few glitters I placed.

So it's not the focus for ANM today.

Pacific Fever. A Made in Aus baby!

2 or 3 thinner coats. Perfection.

Added glitter (purchased from Lincraft).

Glitter placement- tried to copy the font on the bottle.

Being slack on Satuday

Hello.. I've done a bit of pretty-ing up and chosen an online blog layout. Change is as good as a holiday, right! I've also spent some time today going over my ulta3 google doc.

It's open for editing if you could help me out- many thanks :)

I also had a quiet day doing my ANM for this week [see  Monday 25/02 post], as well as a basic freehand french mani.

Duri- Rejuvacote
essie- marshmallow [tips]
winmax- nail sparks 10 [Purchased from Daiso]
seche vite- topcoat

I loved the look of this polish- $2.80, wonderful application.

Bento basics and a giveaway

[EDIT: The giveaway image didn't work, so I've re-done it. You still have 3 days !!]

Hello.. Yep, it's been a while between blog posts. And today I'm focusing on food instead of nail polish.

Firstly, a chance to win free stuff. Open internationally.

Also I went shopping at Daiso in Melbourne CBD. Specifically on a mission to purchase a bento box.

I have found a website running a fun and easy course that fingers crossed will get me away from spending so much money at the canteen.
http://justbento.com/handbook/bento-courses-2013
Lessons have just begun if you are at all interested. I'll be uploading my answers to the homework we have to do.


Also this is my 100th post!!!! I do have 8 more sitting in drafts because I haven't taken the photos off my phone yet :)
