Australian Series: Sunshine and yellow

Hello~ Lame title, onto the pretty nails :P. I haven't ever worn yellow fully on my tips before so I thought it was time to try it out! I applied three coats of Ulta3 spring blossom onto my nails and two coats of Face of Australia Gold onto my accent nails. I then applied one thick coat of OPI Servin' up sparkle to bling up the mani :)

Both mani photos were taken under direct sunlight.

Gold leaned a bit more bronze on me, but I actually liked it this way. I have a feeling actual gold shades will look terrible on me.

I don't usually wear yellow or yellow based shades on my tips as I think they will clash with my yellow based skin tone. But this! This was really pretty :). Loved it loads and the glitters made it all the more amazing. What do you think of yellow shades?

Sally Hansen Salon Crushed Velvet

Good morning, Dear Reader!

Sally Hansen Salon Crushed Velvet was a Canadian exclusive from the now-discontinued Salon line a while back, and I was fortunate to have someone in Canada offer to pick it up for me.  It's is an unusually pretty, glowy purple shimmer.  For the manicure, after applying base coat I used two coats of Crushed Velvet, then one of Poshe.  It wasn't shiny enough with Poshe (the reason I never stick with Poshe), so I added one coat of a Sally Hansen quick-dry that doesn't work too well but is very shiny.

Sally Hansen Salon Crushed Velvet Nail Polish, Two Coats

Crushed Velvet is really a gorgeous polish with excellent application, which definitely makes me wish it hadn't been released as a non-US country exclusive from a line that's discontinued.

That's the update for today, Dear Reader, so until next time, love and nail polish to you!
