Cake stand nail polish storage

I'm setting up my new blogging area at the moment and I can't decide how I want to have it! One thing I knew I had to have though was a tiered cake stand to display some of my favourite nail polishes which is also a fantastic way to store nail polishes. If you have a smaller sized collection it's so much better than a box or normal plastic polish display stand!

I searched for ages for the perfect cake stand as I wanted something cute (of course!) and I finally settled on the Maxwell & Williams Cashmere Aviary three tier cake stand which is soooooooo adorable. I spotted it in David Jones earlier this year and knew I had to have it! I hit the jackpot though because I managed to redeem it using my Qantas frequent flyer points as they had a sale and I JUST had enough points! Very rarely do I actually get to redeem anything using frequent flyer points so it was very satisfying.

It comes with 3 cute plates with birdcages, flowers and birds. I love the colours and it's super easy to screw it all together.

A random selection of some of my favourite polishes! Yep most of them are glitters LOL.

What do you think? How do you store your polishes or display your faves? I came across a 2 tiered cupcake cake stand packaged in a nice pink hat box thingy at Target the other day which would make a perfect display stand if anyone wants a cute one!

Thanks for looking as always! =)

Pink glitter and bows manicure

Hi ladies! I have some quick girlie nail art for you today. Whenever I don’t get time to do nail art I always opt for a glitter gradient – quick and easy! My photos are all over the shop at the moment unfortunately as I’m still trying to figure out the best lighting situation so please bear with me =) I also have another exclusive offer for you from >Scandal Cosmetics so please keep reading!

I used 2 coats of Scandal Shine polish in 11 Pearl Pink* which looks like an unassuming pale pink with microshimmer in the bottle. Then bam! On the nail, it’s a gorgeous delicate pale pink with fine gold, red and green microshimmer. I’ll do a proper swatch of it once I get my lighting up and running! I then used China Glaze Medallion for the glitter gradient and added a cute bow nail part*. Topped it all off with Scandal Heart lacquer top coat.

Lush forum special perfume: Creamy Candy

I'm a bit late but just a quick post to let you know about an exciting forum special from Lush!! They've released 6 limited edition perfumes created from 6 of their best sellers and are sold exclusively online for this weekend only. So if you're after them you better get on it!!

I adore sweet scents and my absolute favourite product from Lush is their Snow Fairy body wash. I stock up on it every year and it's literally the only body wash I use. It is sweet candy heaven in a bottle!!!!!!!! Plus there's sparkles! XD I've always wanted it bottled into a perfume and Creamy Candy perfume comes close.

Creamy Candy smells just like the Creamy Candy bar and Rockstar soap - sweet, yummy and like candy floss. It's not exactly the same as Snow Fairy unfortunately but it's pretty close! Snow Fairy is less sweet and has more of a fruity undertone to it I think. The perfume is very strong so one good spritz is more than enough to last the entire day! It comes in the signature Lush black and white packaging.

What's your favourite Lush scent? I hope they make a Snow Fairy perfume soon!!! Have a fab weekend and thanks for looking as always! =)
