What to do when you get smurf hands?!?!?!?

 First step is - DON'T FREAK OUT! (I may have, just a little....)

Ok, so i was so excited to get my very first Wet n Wilds sent to me from the US. When i tried Teal of Fortune it looked amazing. 

Now i got super frustrated because EVERY picture i took turned out blue..... It is a teal green...... So annoying.......

See the green/teal look in the middle of the bottle in the picture below? That's as close as i could get.....

 So now i wanted to try something else on....... 20 mins of scrubbing with remover, 10 mins scrubbing with dish washing liquid mixed with sugar (it hurts after a while...), and countless times washing with soap and a nail brush......... I was left with this..........

SMURF HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to cry....... But as i was taking my waterproof mascara off, i thought i would try my eye makeup remover (the ones with the 2 different liquids that you have to shake together) with my hands
, and it worked :) My nails were still a bit blue, and all my hangnails look really blue and even more ripped from all the scrubbing earlier, but my skin was stain free!!!!!

So in the in can i say that Wet n Wild - Teal of Fortune was worth the smurf hands????? I don't think so :( I loved the colour so much, but the staining is just nuts. I have NEVER had this happen before. I hope it never will again :)

This is one coat of BYS - Blue Bang with one coat of Kink - Showgirl.

Eclipse - 613

This is a Korean brand called Eclipse. The Morning Glory stores have heaps of them. The colours are beautiful, but the formula is hit or miss.... This was a miss...... Put this on last night, peeled it off not long after i took the photos. Super annoying because the colour is so pretty! This is 3 streaky, thick, took forever to dry, coats.

Essence - Into The Dark

This is a really beautiful colour :) I LOVED it! However it was deceptive because it looked lighter and had alot more glitter in the bottle. On the nail you really couldnt see much glitter at all, and it dried quite a bit darker. But i really did love the end result. I tried to get some pics when i had it on, but there was no sun at all, it was so dark outside all day :(

My pics dont even begin to so how wonderful Lorelei's Tiara looks in person. Im still trying to figure out how to get the best from my new camera. So the next time i wear this polish i shall try to get some better pics.

Glossy Blossom in Emerald Green

This is a really beautiful green polish with some kind of blue micro glitter, or shimmer, or something like that. It really is a beatiful colour :) I got it from Morning Glory. I think they are $4 each, or 2 for $6.

Ugh, i tried like mad to get a picture to show all the amazing blueness hiding in this polish, but my 5mp phone camera just doesnt cut it.... ugh..... I am hoping 'Santa' got the hint that i want a camera this year :)

Essence Nail Polish 78 Blue Addicted

This is a beautiful polish. I wish my camera wasnt broken :( Im using my phone camera at the moment till i get a new one. I couldnt even to begin to capture the amazingness of this polish. Im going back to Target this week to pick up a backup or two :p I used 3 coats, and even thought it was thick, it dried quite quick.

Essence is here in Australia!

Im so excited :p You can now find full stands of Essence Cosmetics in Target stores all around Australia! I died when i saw the prices.... SO CHEAP! $2.55 for a 5ml nail polish. Heaps of other stuff too, eyeshadows, mascaras, eyeliners, lipglosses, foundation, blush, ect... All of them crazy cheap. So i started off slow and only bought 4 nail polishes :)

      L-R: 67 Make it Golden, 38 Choose Me!, 78 Blue Addicted, 85 Galactic Black

I shall be doing swatches off all of them over the next week :)

Sally Hansen HD in Digital with China Glaze Crackle in Crushed Candy

I loved this look! I started by just wanting to have just Sally Hansen HD in Digital on my nails, a beautiful bright pink...... But it stinks! It really is yuck, bleh :( So i tried to hide the smell by putting on my China Glaze Crackle in Crushed Candy, a light blue. It didnt help cover the smell, but it looked amazing.
