Or alternatively we could title this post OMFG NAILS INC WHY ARE YOU SO AMAZING? Finally the Pretty Serious store has launched and orders are making their way to happy customers so I can stop spending every moment thinking (stressing) about the house that Kaz built. I’m finally free to talk about other things. And what do I want to talk about? I want to tell you all about how much I freakin LOVE Nails Inc. I REALLY love Nails Inc (yes yes I know they don’t use capitals in their name but that irks me. And this is my [...]

After my post the other day on my Nails Inc Crystal Caps, I thought I’d dig them all out and photograph them for Bottle Spam Sunday. I don’t have that many though, well not enough to facilitate an entire Bottle Spam Sunday post, so I thought I’d take shots of all my Nails Inc Glitters too! Enjoy!

I’ve spoken (a lot) of my love for Nails Inc before. There’s just something wonderfully luxurious about the brand. I love everything about them, from their image to their range and formula. The only thing that I don’t love is their lack of an Australian distributor. But you want to know what I really love about Nails Inc? CRYSTAL CAPS. Yes, someone at Nails Inc a few years back had the glorious idea to adorn their beautiful silver cap with a crapload of Swarovski Crystals and sparkle loving girls like me proceeded to lose their shit and dump their wallet [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

One thing that annoys the bejeezus out of me about Nails Inc is that their company name is completely lower case. On the bottles, it looks neat and lovely but on paper, I just can’t bring myself to call them nails inc. It’s killing me to leave it looking like that. I just want to go back and capitalise the brand name. I don’t want to say I’m OCD about this, because I don’t have OCD and I know there are people out there who do legitimately have it. I’m just slightly anal and weird. Like how if I spill [...]

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 [...]

Can you believe that I’ve made it through a WHOLE WEEK of blogging? Could I really be turning over a new leaf here? Only time will tell! I’d like to thank all you cool cats for such a positive response to my motivational post yesterday. It really means a lot that so many of you understood how I’m feeling and thanked me for writing it. On to the swatches! I just want to note that these swatches are from about six months ago – I decided to fish back through my flickr rather than swatch new stuff on my super [...]

In an effort to get into some sort of funky blogging rhythm again, I’ve borrowed a wonderful little idea from Stephanie of Imperfectly Painted – Bottle Spam Sundays. Once I get off my ass and start the Saturday Swatch Party again, I think this addition will complement quite nicely. But enough chatter, on with the pretty bottle pics!

I have the worst trouble keeping up with Nails Inc. Their site isn’t really very useful when it comes to new products or upcoming shades. Most of the time when I discover something new, it comes from someone listing it on eBay. For a collector like me, this is a giant pain in the ass. I need to know if I am missing out on anything cool. It’s like a requirement. Luckily, I saw the Nails Inc Metallic collection while it was still available on the Nails Inc website and I decided that I NEEDED to have them. Well, most [...]
