Review: Instant Gratification Mani

Perfect for those days when you need a slick, pretty mani but don't have the time or patience for a traditional file, buff & paint, these nail polish strips are a fun & easy way to bring a pop of colour!

Available in a whole range of shades, ranging from the super sweet 'Tu Tu Much' to the crazy finger party that is 'Collide-O-Scope', Sally Hansen Salon Effects are hassle-free, easy to apply & most importantly, have zero dry time so you're out the door as soon as you're done! They last ten days & unlike shellac or gel nails which demand soaking time to remove the polish, they are removed simply with a swipe of regular polish remover. 

Sally Hansen Salon Effects in 'I Dare You' with my current perfume obsession:
India Hicks Island Living

Simple, fun beauty...I'm predicting a new nail obsession.

Heaven Scent

My best friend returned home to Sydney this week after two years spent living in India for work and brought with her the latest object of my affection. It wasn't an exotic new boyfriend, but something better! The scent that she wore on her skin...

Kilian perfumes are exotic, rare and luxe. Developed by the grandson of the founder of the LVMH group, the range is exquisite and designed to delight the senses of the wearer and all those who come in contact with her.

Amidst the current line up of mass-produced and often copied fragrances that are flooding the market, I am head over heels for this foreign treasure. My friend wears 'Liaisons Dangerueses' (a name equally delicious as the scent), but assures me that each is as special as the next.

Sadly not yet available in Australia, Kilian perfumes can be shopped and shipped from the website. I am now planning my next pilgrimage overseas to bring one home that I can call my own.
