Manicure Monday: Strange Beautiful 'Dickensian' & O.P.I 'The Living Daylights'

SAXONY x Strange Beautiful 'Dickensian' set of 3 $25.00 available from www.saxony.com.au & O.P.I 'The Living Daylights' $18.95 available from www.hairhousewarehouse.com.au

Manicure Monday is officially back! I am going to stop being lazy with my nails and I am going to post every monday with something new.....I don't know what yet but there is going to be a Manicure Monday post every Monday from now on OK. (I have written that on the Internet so now I have to do it, because there are no lies on the Internet!)
I went to the most amazingly beautiful wedding last weekend, it was a celebration for my friends Jolyon and Mitch. Sadly and shamefully they cannot get married in this country, so married earlier in the year in New York. It was a lovely day and night catching up with old friends surrounded by flowers, tearful heartfelt speeches and the most out of this world cake from Hartsyard.
My dress was emerald green with black beading so I decided on a black base with gradient glitter for my nails. Applying the glitter from the base of the nail and gradating to the tip, I have been loving applying glitter this way as it chips less and is easier to remove. When choosing what to put on your nails for an event you should always choose a colour that pops from your outfit and your compliments your skin tone, if they blend in it looks washed out, boring and not as flattering.

Saxony X Strange Beautiful : The Blacks Nail Polish Trios


Saxony X Strange Beauty Collaboration Nail Polish Trios $25.00each available from

Saxony X Strange Beautiful is my newest favourite fashion X beauty collaboration! Saxony is known for its monochrome simplicity in the fashion game and Strange Beautiful is a collectible cult brand in the nail world : I couldn't think of a more perfect pairing for an amazingly unique collaboration.

The collab named : The Blacks is a limited edition range of 3 sets of polish trios Dickensian, Malevich & Muybridge.

The trios are inspired by 'Surreal deep pit caves in Croatia captured by photographer Nenad Salijic, Katsutoshi Yuasa's thoughtful translations of photographs through the ancient art of woodcut printmaking, the silhouette's and sculptural forms of our clothing collection and the raw concrete textures of the Saxony store experience.'

I am really impressed with the polishes they are a very opaque and glide onto your nails with one coat giving full coverage to the nail, the polish doesn't well into your cuticules and dry time is about 5-10mins for a no smudge 'out the door' ready manicure. The colours are a 90's minimal Haim goth girl dream,  which is totally my vibe at the moment.
