Well here we go again! A few more HTF vintage weird and wonderful swatches direct from my helmers to you. I’m really excited about what I have to show you in the next few days, so let’s get this show on the road! 6. Naturistics Aura Pearl – I’m telling you – this photo does this gorgeous polish absolutely no justice. I have a lot of Naturistics now (matching brush handles! Wheee!) and some of them have to be seen to be believed. A lot of people talk about polishes being lit from within – this one truly is. The [...]

Ahh crap. I missed out on posting this yesterday. On one hand, better late than never, right? But I’m still pissed that I broke my streak. Clearly returning to work after three days at home does not agree with me. Excuses and whining aside, let’s talk about my no buy. The no buy that I am now SERIOUSLY CURSING (STEFFFFFF!). But I won’t give up. I am strong and I can do this. I can. I CAN, I TELL YOU. Why doesn’t anyone believe me? So are any of you on August no buys as well? I know some of [...]

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. [...]

I should probably have titled this post: Why I don’t think I’ll notice my no buy at all. I haven’t been photographing any of my new stuff over the last month or so, and I just had a couple of mammoth packages arrive yesterday too. So why not celebrate the awesomeness with some lovely bottle pics to round out the weekend? YES. LETS. First up is some bottle shots of my fantastic Beauty Joint order. Kleancolor Chunky Holo Teal, Clover, Purple & Bluebell Kleancolor Chunky Holo Candy, Fuschia, Poppy, Scarlet & Black Kleancolor Metallic Red, Aqua, Fuschia & Green Kleancolor [...]

Kleancolor is a brand that doesn’t get enough love. A lot of people complain about the smell, and I will admit that they are a bit on the nose, but no more so than some of my older OPI’s or Streetwears. If you can stomach the stronger than usual smell they are well worth looking into for their amazing colour range and cheap price. I own a couple of Kleancolors but they are quite hard to get outside of the US. As far as I am aware there is no Australian distributor and their official site doesn’t ship outside the [...]

Yeah, yeah. I know. After all my fanfare and hoopla and other like words for trying to form some kind of routine around these parts, I failed miserably and retreated back to my world of ignoring the internet, Star Trek re-runs and Ghost Trick on the DS.   To be frank, work has basically been holding me face down in the dirt whilst simultaneously teabagging me and giving me the finger and the last thing I have felt like doing is my nails. Plus, you don’t want to read any of my pathetically emo woe-is-me-slit-my-wrists-with-a-spoon posts. The good news is, [...]
