It's Skin - 1 Minute Innovation Nail Stylure Polish

I purchased these two colours PK102 and OR103 from Korea Department Store for $1.66 USD each. I was very impressed with these polishes especially the pink one and they were really easy to apply.

I have never had a polish last as long as PK102 did, it was probably a week and a half until I saw any minor chipping and later on there was no large chipping at all so I am impressed considering how cheap these are.

OR103 didn't last quite as long it was about a week until minor chipping occurred, but I was still impressed and this is probably the nicest bright orange polish I have ever bought.

For both colours I applied two coats of polish.

Femme Fatale - Nail Polish in Mushroom Cloud.

I purchased this nail polish from Femme Fatale Cosmetics for $12.50 AUD. Mushroom Cloud is a pink/purple to blue/purple thermal polish with blue sparkles. This polish works better with longer nails as you get more of a gradient effect. The nail polish lasted a week before getting small chips on the corners of my nails. Which is pretty good for me most polishes never last a week before large chipping. I will definitely be purchasing more nail polished from Femme Fatale in the future :)

I applied two coats in the pictures below.

Cool Temperature to Warm Temperature.

Gradient effect.

Coastal Scents - Hot Pot Swatches.

(With flash)

Coastal Scents hot pots are $1.95 each, however they always have huge sales on and I recently bought 36 hot pots for $0.99 each. My last order got here really quick and shipping from America to Australia cost me $20.07, which is not too bad since their products are so cheap. All together I now have 84 hot pots from Coastal Scents which I will do swatches for hopefully some time soon. Coastal Scents hot pots are highly pigmented, some more than others, but are still really great quality for the price.

Fyrinnae's Loose Eye Shadow Swatches and Pixie Epoxy.

This was my first time buying Fyrinnae products and I am very impressed with these loose eye shadows. There products are really cheap and great quality and shipping only cost me $7.00 which is unusually cheap for shipping from America to Australia. My order didn't take long to arrive and they also threw in a free finishing powder. 

My favourites out of these eye shadows would have to be Glitter Boi and Raven's Prophecy because they are soo glittery (my photos don't do them justice). Also Dressed To Kill, and Rapunzel Had Extensions because they are really pretty two toned colours.

For these swatches I used Pixie Epoxy also from Fyrinnae, which I decided to buy after reading so many great reviews about the product and I have to say I agree. According to the Fyrinnae website, the pixie epoxy is not an eye shadow primer, or really a base. It is designed to hold the sparkliest, most shimmery eye shadows in place, minimize "fallout", and also to easily create a foiled look without foiling.

Left to right - Rapunzel Had Extensions, Glitter Boi, Sorceress, Dark Fantasy and Wicked.

Left to right - Wicked, Raven's Prophecy, Dressed To Kill, Calipygian and Alchemist's Curse.

Rapunzel Had Extensions - Pale pink with a stunning brilliant light gold highlight. $6.25

Arcane Magic: Glitterboi - Deep blend of midnight blue, violet, and a hint of pink sparkle on a black base, and as the angle changes or light-distance decreases, changes to a light, gleaming grape, then to vibrant metallic pink. $6.80

Arcane Magic: Sorceress - Soft black shadow with shimmer which changes from a brilliant aqua to vibrant cool pink, depending on light and angle. $6.80

Arcane Magic: Dark Fantasy - Dark Fantasy is an intense grass green shimmer on a black base, which changes to a golden-peach to deep orange-coral at an angle or close to light. $6.80

Wicked - Deep, dark purple with turquoise shimmer. $6.25

Arcane Magic: Raven's Prophecy - Deep black, this shadow glitters with lime and pale blue. Closer to light or at different angles, and the sparkle takes on a pink and turquoise appearance. $6.80

Dressed To Kill - Glimmering, glowing, gilded green with flashes of gold and green sparkle. $6.25

Callipygian - Vibrant Kelly/emerald green shimmer on black. Great over regular primer, but over a sticky base it's a gleaming jeweltone metallic green. $6.25

Arcane Magic: Alchemist's Curse - This shadow is pink shimmer and sparkle on black, but closer to light or at a different angle and the sparkle becomes peachy-gold, the black base setting off the highlights. $6.80

All shadows were swatched over - Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy. $7.00
