Despite having a whole rack full of nail polishes, my love for nail polishes just seems to be never ending! Especially glitter nail polishes. Every time I see a nail blogger post about KBShimmer, my heart goes BOMP BOMP BOMP.
One of my favourite bloggers is Manicurator who seriously does one of the best swatches around. Here's one of her many posts of KBShimmer nail lacquers and for each time she posts about KBShimmer, my lust for it just grows and grows!
Here are some of my favourite picks that I'd love to own..
Get Clover It, Candy Cane Crush, Let's Get Star-ted
Get Clover It is like bokeh in a bottle! So purdyyyy. Let's just take a minute break to admire the beauty.
Candy Cane Crush was released part of their Winter 2012 collection, I believe. I've seen other photos of this particular polish, but her choice of layering this over grey is PERFECT. Such an amazing combo!
Sydney IMATS (International Make-Up Artist Trade Show) is a make-up trade show featuring international brands/companies to exhibit, live demonstrations by international make-up artists, international guest speakers, masterclasses, showcases of make-up masterpieces and student competitions! Sydney IMATS 2012 will be held at the Sydney Convention Centre on the 29th and 30th of September 2012! Yay! Tickets can still be purchased here.

I can't believe it's been 1 year since the Australian Beauty Bloggers Weekend! Last year was the first time I went to IMATS and attended ABBW with Alice, Tezza and Amanda where we met for the very first time!
Although it's been a year, I still feel grateful and happy that ABBW happened (thanks to Kimmi, Jacie and event sponsors) -- where I was able to learn about beauty blogging and how to work with PRs!
Anyways, it's been one year and we've only reunited (altogether) once and it was at Tezza's 21st birthday! Boo! I really cannot wait to see them this weekend! Yipeeeeee!
I actually filmed an IMATS tag video last month on my YouTube channel (yes, I have a YT channel!) and here it is!
I know I have alot of make-up and that I'm on a make-up ban, but have I told you that it excluded IMATS & market hauls? LOL! :P
Here's my IMATS wishlist for this year, based on the list of exhibitors and from what I saw at IMATS last year...
1. Inglot Matte Lipsticks -- At first, I was really keen on Illamasqua lipsticks, but as they won't be exhibiting at IMATS.. I've moved onto Inglot! I've never tried Inglot products, except for a few eyeshadows, so this will be exciting!
2. Ben Nye Creme Rouge Wheel -- I purchased a bruise wheel from them last year, but only saw their blush wheel after when I got home! Super excited to have a look at their cream blush wheel as I've been wanting to try out cream blushers for yonks and this wheel looks not only convenient, but also of great quality!
3. OCC Lip Tars -- I have a few shades jotted down to make sure I remember which shades to look at, at IMATS! Divine, Trollop, Queen, Grandma, Memento and Hush! Hopefully they are discounted at IMATS, that'd be great :')
4. Inglot AMC Lip Pencil -- I'm in need of some lip liners in my life! I've tried Australis' lip liner, but it's not that great.. so now is the time! Coming for you AMC lip pencils!
5. Mehron Spirit Gum Adhesive -- Halloween is coming and whilst we don't celebrate Halloween in Australia, I still like to create scary make-up looks! I have liquid latex and scar wax at home, all I need now is spirit gum! This would be greaaaaaat! Waaaaaaaaaaaa!
6. Sue poo (not pictured LOL) to come down to Sydney so we can go to IMATS together 8(
Yeap!! That is all! Your time to shine...
Are you attending Sydney IMATS 2012? What's on your wishlist?
See? I told you I've been a nail lover... yeap. Slowly transforming this blog into a nail blog guys! I kidz.
This week's addition to my lust-have is probably a big wow-ing! Or maybe not, maybe I'm just behind on this, but I REALLY want to give 'mirror nails' a go!
I mean.. wouldn't you?!
Look at these stunning photosssss... It makes me want em so bad!
OK. Question is.. where and how to get such perfect mirror nails! There's a few ways that I've came across as I was browsing and researching up the same question.. Here we go..
1. Get Minx'ed like Jacie did! Kinda exxy ($60, Jacie mentioned), but you're getting it done by the pro's! ;)
2. Purchase some nail foils and wraps for a DIY Mirror manicure! I've been looking up and down, right and left for these silver foils and the closest I've seen (in Australia) is by 1000 Hour. It's their Gold and Silver Nail Foils. RRP $15.95 each.
3. Mirror nail polishes! I know that Maybelline has one (which is certainly not available in Australia) which you might have to purchase over eBay. China Glaze and Stargazer also has one of their own! BYS (Australian brand) also one, but I've seen swatches and they just look very... er. metallic.
I wouldn't mind me some kickass mirror nail foils/wraps! What do you think?
Did you just add these mirror nails to your wishlist too?
What do you think of mirror nails? Yay or nay?!
Thanks for reading! ^_^ Wishing everyone a safe and sound Sunday!
Hey beauties! So sorry for the lack of posts in the past fewer days -- my mood has been like a roller coaster! I think it may be due to stress by my studies and personal stuff... -_-
Anyways, I think I'll be sharing with you guys every often about what's on my lust list! I usually wouldn't have a lust list as most products I want are usually from lower-end brands that I could afford...
BUT.
I've put myself on a cosmetics ban... so I'm slowly building up a beauty lust list now :(
Yeap, I know. It doesn't look too appealing in the above press photo. LOL! It's like a bad passport/I.D photo! Much more prettier in blogger swatches/photos though!
Such a captivating shade! I can really say that it's lust at first sight... But I haz too many nail polishes!
Still so tempted! I mean.. it's only $5.95! Perhaps I should?
