holographic

Today I got my very first professional manicure. It was great! I love the polish that I chose and it was actually very relaxing in a funny way to sit there and have someone else tend to my nails. 

They had SO many colours to choose from and initially I thought I was going to have a really hard time finding the perfect one but as I was scanning through the wall of polishes I came across this absolute gem - OPI Designer Series Shimmer. 
OK, so I know I don't have the most photogenic fingers (I don't think I'll ever be a hand model) but all that aside, the thing I like most about this polish is that without direct light on the nails, it looks just like a subtle silver polish BUT as soon as some sunlight or direct light shines on the nails they turn holographic! I personally think it looks amazing, I can't stop admiring my nails. The photo doesn't really do it justice, you have to see it in the flesh to really appreciate the glitteryness of it all.

I have a wedding next weekend and I am going back next Friday for another mani, which I can't wait for! Just have to choose a colour from the millions that are there that will match my dress. I bought this beautiful maxi dress from Forever New. Its a bit hard to explain but I'll try, its a floral design, kimono style on top with a waist tie under the bust and flowy sleeves. Its very neutral/nude in colours but it is SO lovely. Plus I was most excited that I was able to find some shoes that match PERFECTLY from Temt and an absolute steal at $45. I really didn't spend any of my own money because I had gift vouchers from Xmas left over which was great seeing as I am currently unemployed and quickly running out of mulla! 

Ok, time to get ready for beddie pies.
