Naked with Bling

Base Coat - Revitanail, 1 coat Australis Satine, 1 coat Color Club Starry Temptress,  Top coat Seche Vite

With the new year I've decided to start a blog so that I can stop annoying my Facebook friends with all my nail polishes swatches.  I'm treating this more as a record of colours, tried and succeeded or tried and failed, with pictures.

I was a chronic nail biter for years and I'm not sure if that's the reason or genetics but I have extremely small nail beds, even though it's been about 17 years since I last took a bite.  So when I break or rip a nail, which I do frequently I generally have to apologise to folks for the ugly visual it creates.

In the image above you can see I keep my nails short as I work with my hands in computers a lot and because they alternate between weak and brittle to weak and peeling.  I use Revitanail sensitive as a base coat and that seems to help strengthen them at least I fool myself into thinking this.

Anyways, onwards with my visual diary.

Above I've posted a picture of my almost naked nails. I love Australis Satine for a pink/white sheer base colour and I use it a lot.  Color Clubs Starry Temptress was great for subtle bling without being over the top or a pain to remove, Seche Vite is my top coat of choice, although I do get the shrinkage if I'm not careful when I apply it to finish or if I add a 2nd coat. 

So while my blog will predominantly be about nail polishes, it will also have some of the other things I love; my American husband, two naughty kitties, food and cooking, Melbourne, Australia, books, movies, hair, make up, clothes, shoes, accessories, whinges and anything that the day brings.
