Gel II Carousel Collection - Review & Swatches

Tuesday, 3 February 2015

Gel II Carousel - Spring 2015 Collection

I received these beauties yesterday morning from the FedEx man and went tearing into my salon to try them out.

There are six beautiful cream pastel shades to choose from and each one is gorgeous.

The consistency is of these gel polishes is great, it glides on, cures to a beautiful opaque finish and an amazing high shine with either of the Gel II top coats.

The colours are:

Bare Bear
Mauvelous Melody
Frou Frou Blue
Prancing Peach
Peppermint Pony
Merry-Go Berry



Available from www.geltwo.com or if you are in the UK http://www.thecreativebeautygroup.co.uk/products/gel-two

Below is a full review and swatches.

Enjoy!




I hope you like it :-)

Mani Monday - Hidden Nail Art Using Gel II Reactions

Mani Monday - Hidden Nail Art Using Gel II

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know I have a very easy nail art tutorial up on my YouTube channel, as per your requests.

It's a variation of what I have on my nails at the moment, which is Gel II Reaction in Pink Paradise with some nail stamping and a little tiny bit of art.


This is the nails cold.


This is the nails warm.

This look can be achieved if you are doing a DIY manicure, using regular polish.  You just won't get the colour changing effect that you get with Gel II.

I've used Nail Stamping Queen stamping polishes to stamp with.  All the details of everything I've used are in the description box of the YouTube video below.



I hope you like it :-)

Easy Abstract Nail Art Using Gel II

Monday, 26 January 2015

Hi everyone,

I've got a really really easy nail art tutorial up on my YouTube channel that can be done with gel polish or regular nail polish if you are a DIY nail art lover.

For this tutorial I have decided to do an abstract design using Gel II.



I hope you like it :-)

Bella Box Unboxing - January 2015

Bellabox Unboxing - January 2015

The January Bellabox arrived today so I dived straight in and did a review for my YouTube channel.

We got five products and a bonus sachet of heel balm.

Products Mentioned :




  • LAQU & Co Lip Lube in Bees Knees - $24.95.  Available at www.bellabox.com.au
  • Exclusive Bellabox Makeup Pouch - $7.95.  Available from www.bellabox.com.au
  • Brauer Calm Oral Liquid - $20.99 for 200ml
  • 4. Aveda Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion - $79.95 for 150ml
  • 5. Wen by Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner - $34.99 for 350ml.  Available from www.chazdenwen.com.au




BONUS: Dermal Heel Balm - $10.49 for 50g.  Available at Priceline



NB:  All prices are in Australian $.



To subscribe to Bellabox: www.bellabox.com.au







So I am about 99% sure I won't be renewing my subscription of Bellabox.  My December box turned up on Christmas Eve I think it was and I only had a very small Aveda sample and some random sachet in it.  I raised a complaint and I am still waiting for the replacement products.  So this for me is an issue as I am a YouTuber and blogger I like my reviews to go up as soon as the box arrives to gain maximum views.

Obviously when the missing items finally do arrive there's no point in doing a review as everybody else already has a review up.

Also, I am really peeved that Bellabox think it's ok to give us 7ml Aveda samples that you can get FREE from any Aveda store.  We are paying for these samples and that's such a rip off.

Soooooo, off to Violet Box I go!

Thanks for stopping by.
