GASP! I did STAMPING! After months of being quite happy wearing truck loads of glitter, the fad has almost died down for me and once again I am pulling out my "plain" colors.


Color Club's Warhol is a super bright neon Pink, way brighter than what my photos show. Stamping them with black, definitely tones down the eye searing color by about half!


Stamped with patterns from XL plate A.  Finished with a coat of Seche QD.

We drew on our feet


Bought crazy wigs


Went to a Bead Expo


Booked a family trip to Hong Kong for next year! This was us over there 3 years ago.  Can't wait! 
We LURV Hong Kong.

Miss 11 got a new vintage dress. This one is super cute and I can never resist a dress with huge front pockets. It's a little baggy in the bust, but it fits everywhere else!


And her new favourtie cherry shoes, which she got by default as they arrived too small for me!

Unfortunately each bottle is not numbered or named. These colors are not in the core line, so they must be limited to the boxed set.
Each color bar the Violet on my middle finger in top photo was 3 coats.


The wear was excellent. Miss 4 came down with gastro and this mani survived 5 days thru vomit and constant scrubbing without any tip wear!
I highly recommend this box set as great value and an instant complete pastel color set for your polish collection.

I am not sure about this one. The online swatches looked pretty cool, but it's rather uninspiring once it's on me.
This is 1 coat of Ozotic beam 908 over Loreal Magic Croisette. The multicolor sparkles are apparent on close inspection but from any other distance away looks just like white sparkle.

BUT don't add a top coat! Or else it will look like this......

OK, my bank account has taken a huge hit this morning...who else wants to know about the sales I've been buying from?

Plus make sure you go thru your favourites on your Etsy account and see if any sellers are having sales.  Most of my favourites are on sale and it's a great time to snag a vintage bargain!

This dress has been featured a couple of times before but here it is again for lack of better outfit material!

 It's a bad day for us here....Miss 4 vomited all thru the night...I think we stopped counting at 7 times....I'm up to my 5th load of washing and still going...and we had about 2 hours of interrupted sleep. Not running on all Hotrod cylinders today and I felt like a whinge. Thanks guys!

This is Phantom Planet from Pretty Serious' new collection "They Came From Beyond Space".
They are quite sheer and need 3 coats to become opaque. Phantom Planet pops over a coat of black as shown below.

2 coats of Hare's Midsomer's Midnight with Butter London's Tart with a Heart layered over the top. Tart with a heart is an absolute MUST for your polish collection.  It turns any color or glitter into a wonderland of glitteriness!  Yum.

Hare's new collection has arrived and I purchased a couple of them recently on Llarowe.
This is 2 coats of Golden Years over Contrary Polish Anna Maria. As you can see the golden glitter is super blingy in the natural sunlight.


And one coat of Contrary Polish Anna Maria. I wasn't worried about the VNL, as it was getting glitter-ed over, but 2 coats obviously would have been much nicer.

It's lovely to receive surprises in the mail. Like this little bottle of goodness. Only problem is I have no idea who or which company sent it to me...it was in a plain white box with no return address.   Thank you to whomever it was!


This is 2 coats of Karpati Sinful Delight. It's an Eggplant color unique to my collection and the green shimmer is gorgeous. It also dried to a high shine. Above photos were taken in natural light. Photo below was taken under artifical light.

Since receiving it I have Googled and found the online Australian website for Karpati and can also be purchased online here for $6.95.

And this gorgeous fruit hat by eBay seller Kalandra.

What are guys lusting after?
