Confetti Manicure with I Scream Nails

I couldn't pass up the chance for a free nail art manicure with I Scream Nails, so when I saw that my local Westfield had a beauty event on to celebrate Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival I jumped online to secure one of the coveted 15 minute appointments. The area was really well presented and was fitted with copper and Acapulco style chairs, as well as a desk space where I entered a VAMFF competition and received a free copy of Elle magazine (with a free hand cream from L'Occitane, very nice!)

I Scream Nails had 4 designs on a card to choose from when you sat down and I didn't hesitate to choose the confetti style nail art, with the gorgeous Blue Heaven nail polish as my main colour. My manicurist was the lovely Zinta who was happy to have a chat and talk about nails with me, something I miss out on when I usually get my nails done at Westfield.

  

 

 

 

 

Overall the experience was lots of fun and I am enjoying the compliments on my cute nail art since the appointment - all of the polishes used (except the top coat) was from the I Scream Nails brand and they seem to be of a really great quality as well as being in super cute ice cream cone form. I'm planning on trying out this nail art idea at home with some other colours since I own some dotting tools, and will report back on how I go recreating it!

 

What do you think of this confetti nail art?

Sally Hansen Mani Mobile // Kook-A-Mango!

I definitely don’t take as much care of my nails as I should, so when the team from Sally Hansen asked if I’d like a manicure from their mobile mani station at Federation Square, I was all hands on deck!

I knew that I was spending Melbourne Cup day at home with family, and had picked out my outfit and fascinator ahead of time so that I could coordinate my nails perfectly. I went for Kook-A-Mango, a bright red toned coral which set off my coral pink dress perfectly!

It has been quite a while since I’ve worn a nail colour that popped this much on camera, and I’m pleased to say it has gotten me back onto the bright nail bandwagon. Considering summer is approaching and Melbourne is turning the heat up, I’d say I’m just in time.

I was pretty excited to hear that the Sally Hansen team will be adding new colours to their Complete Salon Manicure range, bringing the family up to 42 in total! I was lucky enough to have a sneak peek of the shades, and there are some real stunners in there. This was the first time I tried this SH formula, and I am pretty impressed so far.


Pretty close to Sally orange (which is pretty close to emmabovarybeauty orange!)

Sally Hansen will be at their pop-up nail bar until Thursday, so if you are in the city for the races or simply passing through, be sure to pop in and get pampered. I’d recommend Kook-A-Mango (of course) but the pewter shade Gilty Pleasure is also pretty stunning. You can also get some beautiful karma your way by donating a gold coin to the Look Good...Feel Better foundation. Hop to it, free manicures are rare, ya know?

*I was a guest of Coty PR and Sally Hansen for this event & manicure, but my opinions are my own. Honesty, always.
