Just thought I'd get that little definition out of the way before I post this polish from Australian brand Kit Cosmetics at Mecca Cosmetica's limited edition Acai collection.  Besides Acai as a name for this gorgeous coloured polish makes sense to me now!  Acai Addict is a warm purple cream polish with a highly reflective lacquer finish.  Two coats glided on perfectly and I can't find a thing to fault with this polish - aside from a single wayward hair on the brush.  This is a universally flattering winter polish and not surprisingly a best seller from the collection.

Thanks for looking as always!



NOTD: Mecca Cosmetica - Diana

Today was the last day of summer and it rained :(

My NOTD is Diana, a lilac creme polish from Mecca Cosmetica's own nail polish line.  I bought this as a pre-Christmas treat for myself just over a year ago for $22AUD - just a little bit more than I would usually spend on a locally branded nail polish (OPI retails at just under $20AUD in stores here), but it was a special treat!!

Mecca Cosmetica is a bit like an Australian version of Sephora, stocking a wide range of upmarket and exclusive make-up & skin care lines such as Nars, By Terry, Ren and several others not readily available to Australian customers.  Mecca has 25 stores across Australia and New Zealand, plus their online store.

Onto today's mani.  This is a gorgeous glossy lilac creme with a patent-smooth finish.  Two coats provided a fantastic, even coverage and I really should expect nothing less for the price.  Sorry for the lack of sunlit pictures:

This is a super-feminine colour!

That's all for now.
