It feels like forever since I’ve either had the time or my nails were in good enough condition to do so. Finally the stars and planets aligned and I have some new stuff to show you! Eeee! Did you miss me? I sure missed you guys! Yep, new Chi Chi’s. Chi Chi is a brand that I will find eternally hilarious because they allow me to say things like “I’m going to show you my Chi Chi’s” or “Check out those Chi Chi’s”. And I am a huge child so you know, it works well. I picked these up from [...]

My first for the year! Yay! Woohoo! Party! My nails are in pretty good shape at the moment (watch me break one as I finish typing this sentence) so I am really hoping to be able to get through some of my swatch drawers this weekend. They’re full to overflowing again (ugh) and I really need to make some more room before I start buying any more stuff. I got through twelve polishes last night though, so here’s a handful of colours fresh from the oven. Enjoy! Zoya Holly, Nina Ultra Pro Glamrock Revlon Smoldering, Chi Chi Hissy Fit Estee [...]

This is my third year writing this post (wow, how time flies! See 2010 here and 2011 here) and I am such a fan of lists and putting your wishes down on paper, or a blog entry in this instance, that I am going to do it again. Not only because it seems to have some sort of cosmic HTF attracting powers when I do these posts, but also because it’s fun to look back upon lemmings fulfilled. 2011 was a good year on many fronts, especially for ticking things off the ol’ wishlist. Rarities procured in the last 12 [...]

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these! So how has everyone’s week been? I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving and if you’re outside the US, I hope you had a pretty rad day nonetheless. And hopefully you’ve all had a bit more restraint than me with these Black Friday sales, because Amazon, 80′s Tees, Sugarpill, NARS & Nails Inc have all seen my credit card in the last couple of days. Time for a no buy? You bet. But the good news is I think I’m finally starting to get back into the swing [...]

Hey guys! Sorry I missed a few posts last week, as well as my Saturday Swatch Party, but I can 100% assure you that my reasons were totally worth it. Something very exciting has been taking up a lot of my time lately and I can’t wait to share it with you all. As soon as I am able, I promise I will fill you guys in on all the details. The Bottle Spam Sunday post that I have planned for today is pretty special, but I’ll get to that in a bit. Firstly, my pickups for the week. My [...]

Unfortunately I’m still unable to swatch anything because my nails just keep breaking off. I don’t know what it is. My diet is the same, my vitamin intake the same. Maybe it’s the Australian weather getting colder. I’ll have to start using my lemony flutter a lot more regularly. But the point of the matter is my nails look like horrible gnarled shadows of their former greatness so I’ll spare you the horror of new swatches until they are looking more respectable. I only posted my Saturday Swatch Party last week and I want to get into the habit of [...]

I’m well aware that ‘Chi Chi Bootylicious and Sugar Daddy’ sounds like a 70′s funk duo so it is my regretful duty to inform you that we’re not here to get our groove on today, but we are here to talk about nail polish. If you wish to get down while you read this, you may go here. Chi Chi is a polish brand that I love (Moondust anyone?) and that has always made me snicker like a ten year old boy because Chi Chi’s sounds like a euphemism for boobies. But now that we have my immaturity out of [...]

No, no. Not getting married. My brain is just the consistency of that pink stuff from Ghostbusters 2 and it was the absolute best I could come up with for a snappy title for this post. With this level of creativity I should just stop writing right now and save you all the pain of my mind numbing dribble. But I feel that if I can bang out a blog entry, this day won’t have been totally wasted in a haze of advil and despair, so you’re going to have to just deal with me. Or, you know, close the [...]

I’m still wearing my Zoya Jolene & Mode Diamonte combo – I only got my first chip this morning, and that’s probably only because I washed my hair. I’ll probably take it off tonight in favour of one of my new Zoyas – them beetches be wearing like iron on me lately and I don’t always have time to do my nails every day. I did however want to share this swatch of Chi Chi Moondust that was missing from my Night Sky Polish Comparison post. Chi Chi is an Australian brand, and their polishes retail for around $12.95. Moondust, [...]
