You guys, my no buy started today. One day down, 30 to go. It wasn’t that bad, actually. Mind you I was off work and busy as a beaver so the real test will be tomorrow when I go back to work and get to sit at my computer all day. That’s where my mind wanders and so does my credit card. DIRECTLY TO EBAY. Yeah, you know what I’m talkin’ ’bout. For today’s post I thought I would take some lacklustre shots of quite possibly the most amazing collection that I’ve seen in a long time – Kleancolor Metallics. [...]

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 [...]

Seems like everyone else is doing it, so I’m jumping on the bandwagon also. I’ve got a bunch of posts prepared for the coming week – a whole lot of Christmas stuff if you can believe it.

That and the festive season is something of a time vampire. You don’t know where all your free time has gone, but something has sucked it away. Invisible, evil festive vampires. So it’s Saturday, and [...]

Glitter Gal Not Another Red & Marine Blue Last week I teased these pics of two great new shades I had bought from Aussie cosmetics company, Glitter Gal. I got a chance to wear one over the weekend, and it did not disappoint! Glitter Gal Marine Blue and Not Another Red I wore Marine Blue out to dinner on Saturday night as a full mani and got a bunch of compliments. The polish was well pigmented with great coverage and dried quickly. The colour itself is AMAZING. I thought I was in love with OPI’s DS Glamour, but Marine Blue [...]

Wow. What a week! Unfortunately it was all work, work, work and hardly any play though so once again, I arrive (almost) empty handed. I was going to wait until I had some swatches again to post, but I found a whole heap of haul pics on my camera, and even got around to setting up my light box again to take pics of the new stuff. So well… here we are. My nails have grown back to a respectable level so hopefully I won’t break them again and I’ll be able to swatch more stuff over the weekend. I [...]
