Essie 'Buy Me A Cameo' and Profusion 'Gold Rush', Just a Random Manicure

-
Hi all! Welcome to the very first post in my new series 'Just a Random Manicure'. This series is basically looking at well, random manicures that I am wearing or have worn. We are kicking off this series with my latest mani (it's still on my nails now!) Buy Me a Cameo by Essie topped with Gold Rush by Profusion. I have had this on my nails for about two days so far, but unfortunately because I was treating my nails with oil before I put it on, it is now peeling off. Sigh. But! That matters not because I have really enjoyed this combination, it is beautiful!


Because Gold Rush is a holographic, I had a real tough time capturing it in my light-box and had to venture out into the sunshine (well, I don't know that you could say sunshine, it was a really cloudy day) and snap some pictures out there in order to try to capture that holographic. And, I was somewhat successful, you can sort of see the holographic-ness. Sort of... but it's still not that accurate. I had never heard of or worked with a Profusion nail polish before; but I liked this one! It's a holographic with these little goldy-glitters in it, but I couldn't really tell that they were there until I took the photos because it is so similar to the base colour. I was so confused about the name Gold Rush until I found about those gold glitters!


Yeah! There you can probably spot those little gold glitties a bit better! The base colour that I used was Buy Me a Cameo by Essie, and I love that as a combination because it is such a beautiful but subtle colour and it really lets that holographic shine, and sparkle and glitter! For this manicure, I used three coats of Buy Me A Cameo and two coats of Gold Rush. I must note that it took a little longer than normal for Gold Rush to dry and it barely got done unscathed, I thought I was gonna do something while it was still drying and completely ruin it! But nope! Miraculously it is all ok!


So, that is it for the very first instalment of the Just a Random Manicure series (Just a Random Mani for short, or well, slightly shorter)! I hope that you guys enjoyed this combo as much as I did, and I am glad that I got to share this mani with you!
May your nails be good
Gabby

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before ...
