piCture pOlish Frosting by Cosmetic Cupcake

I am so so unbelievably excited to bring you this post today!! A while back piCture pOlish contacted me to create a collaboration shade with them and OF COURSE I said yes. I had to re-read the email to make sure I wasn't dreaming! XD Keeping it a secret for such a long time was unbelievably hard to do let me tell you as I was bursting to let everyone know! Frosting was created together and I'm so delighted to finally be able to share the polish with you guys today.


I was a bit undecided at first what to create as I love so many different types of polishes (flakies, glitters and jellies being my faves!) but I knew I had to go for what I loved to wear myself so something cute, pink and glittery. My inspiration was something that reflected my blog - cupcakes of course!

I had a bright carnation pink shade in mind with pastel glitters and a hint of shimmer through it but unfortunately pastel glitter wasn't available. Instead we went for a pastel pink sprinkles look with some cute hearts thrown in! It wasn't my first pick but I think it turned out soooooo well and I love it =)


What they say:

Frosting is a pastel milky pink crème shade full of silver, magenta and violet glitters plus with a little shake you will find a wonderful surprise – beautiful silver hearts - just magic! And yes these sprinkles really take the cake!"

Frosting as the description says is a milky cupcake pink creme filled with small silver, violet and magenta hex glitters and in the mix are some silver hearts. It is absolutely adorable and so very "me". Heart glitter is a first for piCture pOlish shades so how lucky am I that my collaboration shade gets that honour!!!


For a pastel glitter shade it applies extremely well!! I experienced a tiny bit of balding when I didn't wait long enough in between coats but dry time is quick so it's no issue. There's minimal streaking and I'd recommend 3 thinnish coats for opacity. You could do just 2 coats for a softer look so the pink base looks milkier but I like the look of 3 coats for more glitter.

The smaller glitters apply evenly on the nail and the heart glitters surprisingly well - no need to fish any glitters out of the bottle! The silver hearts and hex glitters take on the milky pink base giving it a muted pink silver look which I really like.

In the mood for teal manicure

Hi ladies!! Happy Monday =) I hope you’re all having a fab start to the week! I’ve been in the mood for greens/blue so I decided to try out this gorgeous metallic teal from the Scandal Silverline collection called 601 Moody Sky. Of course I had to bling it up a bit though!


I used 2 coats of Scandal Silverline lacquer in 601 Moody Sky*. It's an opaque teal metallic that applied beautifully and reminds me of the sea actually - it'd be perfect for an underwater mani! For my accent finger I used teal dazzling glitters* in a polka dot design.


I topped my other nails off with Scandal Heart Lacquer in 47 Silver Holic* which is a sparse silver glitter with holographic pieces.


Details: Scandal Silverline nail lacquers are available from Scandal Cosmetics online store for $5.50, Scandal Heart nail lacquers are $4 and dazzling glitters are $5.

Illamasqua Omen

Some quick swatches for you today of Illamasqua Omen from their Paranormal collection! The polishes from this collection are UV but unfortunately I don't have black light to show you the effect =(


What they say:

"Take your nails into the next dimensions with limited edition UV Nail Varnish form the Paranormal collection. Alone, each shade delivers bold, high-impact colour with a distinctive shimmer finish. But when worn under UV light they take on a life of their own, emitting a standout glow that cannot be ignored."


Omen is a gorgeous bright in your face green with shimmer. I FREAKING LOVE IT!!! I don't have enough greens in my collection so I am so crazy happy to add this to my stash. It's bright, bold and fun. Application was beautiful like other Illamasqua polishes and 2 coats is pictured with no top coat.

Details: Illamsqua Paranormal polishes are available in four shades from Illamasqua counters in Myer or the Myer online store for $22.50.

I love my Illamasqua polishes and I think Omen is definitely one of my faves now! What do you think? Do you wear green polishes? I know it's not for everyone!

Thanks for looking as always! =)
