Mariah Carey PURE 18k White gold and Silver Top Coat

Who doesn't went gorgeous leaves of gold on their nails? The most expensive bottle of nail polish I have bought on a whim the second I saw it. I was roaming around David Jones waiting for Mia and googled pictures of what this top coat looked like. I liked what I saw, a gorgeous flakey gold top coat. I believe similar to something previously released by OPI. This bottle did cost me $39.95 and I had to have it, it looked so beautiful and its limited edition. It's actually the first time I've come across these leaf top coats and as I take pride in my blogging here I had to do it for my readers. It works as a top coat, and generally one coat is enough to bring out the gold flakes. I anticipated a silver type of flake rather than gold since it did say 'white gold'.

I have a base colour of pink, OPI's "Suzi & the Lifeguard", it is a pearlescent pink. I think a matte colour would work much better with this top coat to bring out the gold flakes beautifully. I've seen pictures online from other bloggers and nail lovers and I think a black or red base looks absolutely gorgeous! I will definitely update this post when I've tried those two colours.

OPI has launched this in line with other Mariah Carey shades part of their Christmas line, so I'm sure those shades will match perfectly with this top coat and bring out its amazing beauty.

What's your opinion on this limited edition top coat? Will you be rushing to your closest stockist to purchase this?

Yellow and Black Reverse French Mani

Today I've got a REVERSE FRENCH MANICURE! Lets all throw some confetti because I don't know why I didn't try this earlier, its GORGEOUS! Its like a little sneaky design where a pop of colour peeks through. Here I'm using the Sportsgirl 'I art Nails!' that I purchased wayyyy back in May and don't you think its just eye catching-ly amazing?

Step 1: Apply a base coat
Step 2: Apply a generous coat of neon yellow or any colour of your choice
Step 3: Let the base colour dry completely before applying another colour of your choice.
(I have chosen black so the yellow can pop out more)
I have used OPI black onyx and have free handed the black coat, it's requires a very light hand and patience.
tips: If you are right handed then when painting this for your right hand it's going to be a nightmare, so I actually recommend cutting out a curve from scotch tape and placing it over the base colour like you would with a normal French Mani.

Step 4: For my feature nail instead of having the neon pop through I've added the rhinestones that were included with the nail polish.
Step 5: Don't forget your topcoat!
