Firstly I just want to thank you all for your wonderful messages regarding the passing of my beloved pet bunny. I didn’t mean for it to overshadow my beautiful Brazilian polishes in my Saturday Swatch Party post, but I just couldn’t not mention him – he was a part of my family and you have warmed my heart with your messages of love and support. The nail community is truly phenomenal. Enough of the mushy mushy though – time to get to the good stuff once again. We’ve reached day six! 26. Chelsea Psycho Green – Back when NARS Zulu [...]

Hey gorgeous thangs! It’s been a while. I’ve managed to find an hour or so tonight while my boyfriend is finishing up Gears of War 3 (it’s pretty epic) so I thought I’d throw together a bottle spam post. By the way, totally unrelated, but Caramel Cookie McFlurries kick all kinds of ass. China Glaze Crimson, It’s Alive, Near Dark, Haunting Zoya Yara, Neeka, Jem, Anja, Cynthia Nury 036, 026, 040. I found these hiding away in an Ice store (horrid clothing chain) at 3 for $5. Guppy 8, 16, 1, 14, 13 Revlon Laser Lavender, China Glaze Cat’s Eye, [...]

Purple edition! I haven’t had a chance this week to swatch anything new so I’m digging into the abyss that is my flickr account for some purple swatches to share. No idea why, I’m just really feeling the purple right now. I’m even wearing purple on my toes! (RBL Mismas for those wondering – along with Zoya Robyn, it’s my go-to pedi shade) After green and blue, purple is probably the colour that I own the most of. So let’s get purple! Quirius Harlem Passion, Versace V2045-W Sally Hansen Night Hydrangea, H&M Mad About You Icing Grape-a-licious, BYS Voodoo Violet [...]

Firstly, I’m wondering how many of you got emails about both Fern and the Boo Pantomime Duo being out of stock at time of ordering from Illamasqua’s Summer Sale. I only recieved an email about Fern, offering Force as a replacment, even though I also ordered Boo for Emma. I’m wondering what that means. I haven’t got a shipping notice on either order yet so I guess time will tell. I’d be interested to know if any of you had any other items cancelled and if your stuff has shipped. But since it’s the end of another week, that can [...]

It’s another vintage swatch collection this week. I went out last night, and my nails are a lovely shade of red that I just couldn’t bring myself to remove, especially seeing as I’m going out again tonight. For those of you wondering, it’s Covergirl Candy Apple. Amazing. But on with the swatches! China Glaze Peace on Earth, Sally Hansen Saturday Night Fever China Glaze Out On Safari, Joe Fresh Moss Nails Inc The Mall, Mavala Electric Green Nails Inc Bow Street, Sinful See You Soon Chanel Holographic, China Glaze Atlantis (over NARS Purple Rain) Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, China Glaze [...]

I’m sitting here at home in my recliner as I write this post and my feet are FREEZING. Granted, the last few days have actually been a bit warmer than usual for August here in Australia and I might actually get some washing dried today but it’s still winter. You know where I’d like to be right now? Here. But that isn’t going to happen right now, so the best I can manage is something a little more summery from China Glaze – three of the beauties from last Summer’s Island Escape collection, which arrived in a wonderful swap last [...]

Since last week was such a rousing success (and also because my nails are still looking most craptacular), I’ve decided to dig down deep into the depths of my flickr for some more swatches for this weeks post. Hopefully I’ll have some new stuff for you next week, but knowing my luck I’ll lose my hand in a freak accident involving a wind up monkey and a meat cleaver. In the event of which, I leave my helmers to Emma. Urban Decay Big Bang, Versace 82145 Nubar Gold Leaf, Max Factor Midnight Aqua Bloom Mena, Essie Night Cap (over Zoya [...]

Super Old Swatch Edition. I had a nasty break last week which meant I had to cut down all my nails. Then I had another one earlier this week so there is absolutely no new swatches until my nails stop being total dipshits. Not to worry though – I have been swatching for years and years and years (three years to be exact) and I have a whole heap of old stuff that I am pretty embarrassed super excited to share with you all today. Geez, it’s a good thing I’ve gotten better, huh? Misa Silk Robe, Sahara 182 Creative [...]

It’s still Saturday for another 19 minutes! I MADE IT! Nina Ultra Pro Sailor, Max Factor Extra Frost (over Nina Ultra Pro Sailor) China Glaze Jitterbug, OPI Take The Stage Nails Inc Pimlico Road, Misa Deep Sea OPI Simmer & Shimmer, Chanel Metallic Vamp Orly Luxe, OPI Ski Teal We Drop China Glaze Midnight Mission, Splash Sparkling Sea Spray   Have a great weekend everyone, and remember – Batman loves you!

Hey guys. It’s been a long week and I think we could all use some cheering up with some pretty colours, right? Here’s some random swatches from my overflowing swatch box. I’ll have to snap a pic and show it to you all one day. Here’s hoping that next week holds much more awesome for all of us. xoxo Kaz Avon Violetta Matte, Avon Poseidon Nicole Fell From The Tree, Ardene Princess Cut Chinoiserie Peacock, OPI Yodel Me On My Cell Sephora By OPI Midnight Mambo, Blue Cross Pumpkin Purple Neon Times Square Central Park Green, Ulta Urban Jungle Nina [...]
