NOTD: Rubi Under The Seaport ft. Australis Eureka

Hey there beautifools. Sorry I didn't get up to any postings yesterday! Usually, I'd have posts lined up and scheduled, but I've ran out of my "back up" posts :(

I spent ALL day yesterday working on my assessment, being angry at my sister, being sick and catching up on some homework. I haven't worked on any posts for this week yet, but if you see me skipping posts, then I'm super sorry -- still trying to get the hang of uni + blogging.

Before when I studied at TAFE, I had heaps of spare time on my hands so I never really took the time to trial nail polishes (since I'd change them every fewer days), but now that I have so many things to do.. it's the perfect time to trial nail polishes!!! Woop!

This week, my nails are very Australian -- with both brands used being of Australian brands. 

 Yes!! Rubi nail polishes! Did you know that Rubi had their very own line of nail lacquers?

This is Under The Seaport, a very dark teal colour, methinks. My mum argues that this is "navy" colour, but it's more like.. it could be a "navy" version of green? Anyhows, whatever it is, I really like the look of it on my nails! The formula is also perfectly pigmented and smooth, except that it chipped after a day of wear *cries

I hate how some nail polish brands with the most fantastic pigmentation and formula turns their own products into duds just because of the long-lasting power. If they tried harder, their products could seriously live up to those of the higher-end brands! Looking at you, Rubi and Eclipse!

Anyhows, I've been into glitter accents lately, so I've paired Under The Seaport with Australis' Glitter Top Coat in Eureka, and here's the finished look:

Oh, how I love glitters! I seriously don't think I can ever wear creme colours on its own ever again!

Have you tried Rubi nail lacquers?

How do you wear your glitter top coats?

I still have another Rubi nail lacquer to try and I have a feeling it's going to be just the same as this one -- perfect pigmentation and formula, but chips after a day wear... Meep.


Disclaimer: Both products were purchased by me.

Saturday/Sunday Steals #24 -- 11 Nail Polishes for.... $15? Only possible at f lea markets!

Heya! I haven't posted about these market hauls in a month! But don't you worry! I did not stop hoarding from the markets, I just didn't want to throw so many haul posts at you each week! :(

I've been hoarding every single Sunday! I come home with at least one or two nail polishes each week! :(

Four weeks ago, there was this lovely gentleman at the markets selling Avon nail polishes for $2 each! So cheap, so I picked up a few and Mum bought a few which came to 5 bottles!

We purchased a few nail colours from their different ranges including Kiss Me, Strawberry, Midnight Plum from their Nailwear Pro range and Black as Night from their Matte range.

There's also another bottle which was a treatment polish, I think it may've been for strengthening the nails, but I've totally forgot what it's called!


The week after (three weeks ago), I've also purchased MORE nail polishes... -_-"

I met this girl who's my friend's sister, selling at the markets! :P Cute!

I've picked up five polishes as they were only $1 each, too cheap to pass it up! But besides it being so cheap, I also picked them up because:

• Rimmel London Lycra in Hot Rock -- thought it was a nice twist from the usual red, with lovely shimmers!
• Rubi Polish in I Like Pina Coladas -- the bottle looked really cute and I thought you guys would be really interested to see how Rubi nail polishes perform!
• Rubi Polish in Under the Seaport -- I actually don't have a shade like this in my collection! Would look great with a matte top coat too!
• BYS in Pink Manicure and Midnight Metallic -- these two, I purely purchased for review purposes for my blog..

I'm really not using my blog as an excuse to hoard... Swear!

But anyways, in two weeks, I purchased 11 bottles of nail polishes............ with $15!

What do you say? Well spent, or nay?

Well spent.................. right?
