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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve tried to start writing this article about three times now and I just can’t seem to get the words out. Am I somehow dumber today? Perhaps. Or quite possibly I am just blinded by the beauty of these fabulous old Creative Nail Design glitter polishes. Or high off the chemical laden fumes. Yeah, that last one is a real possibility. I know what you’re thinking. I’m thinking the same thing. No, it’s not the number 69 (this time), I’m thinking that I remember Christmas 2008 and I certainly don’t remember these CND glitters. Perhaps my memory is failing me [...]

In case you missed it last week, I started a new tradition around these parts. Less talkie, more naily. Let’s begin. Nails Inc The Mall, Hard Candy Frenzy Loreal Rebel, Hard Candy Lava OPI Jade Is The New Black, Loreal Plumage Hard Candy Sweet P, China Glaze Let’s Groove Nails Inc Goodge St, China Glaze Atlantis over Let’s Groove Nails Inc Trafalgar Square, CND Sapphire Sparkle over NARS Purple Rain Have a great weekend everyone! And try to remember, no matter how bad things look…

Yeah, I’m still germ infested. Sexy I tell ya. I’m a vision of beauty, if you like mucous. I made the mistake of having an action packed weekend instead of one where I curled up in bed weeping quietly and cursing the gods for influenza. But even though I feel like crap today, I had a pretty awesome weekend. I managed to fit in a visit from my younger brother & indian food, a psychic/spiritual expo (wherein I got a really awesome kit kat and the most prolifically dodgy psychic reading known to man), teppanyaki lunch, visited friends, cooked a [...]

Calming down FAIL. *Runs in circles like an idiot* Why am I running? Why am I salivating? Why am I jibbering on? I’ll tell you. Many, many years ago, about three to be exact, I realised that my love of nail polish had grown beyond a passing fancy. I have an obsession with colour. My display room is filled with all sorts of bits and pieces, mainly toys from my childhood in all shades of the rainbow. When I was little I loved Care Bears, My Little Pony, Barbie, She-Ra… all these characters lived their days in brightly coloured worlds [...]
