Nail Mail x3!

Hey today was my final critque of this year and it went really well :) my tutors really liked my photographs so I'm happy and to top it all off I had 3 packages waiting for me when I got back to halls wooo! 


First up is my precious Dior Waterlily from ebay....it didn't come in its box though :( that made me really sad lol 

Second is my swap with the lovely Anna! Look how amazingly she wrapped everything! Gah so much effort :) 

 Love this paper so much! 

Back row, L-R: Sinful Colors Hazard, China Glaze Riveting, Zoya Gemma & Danii, Claire's Candy Shop
Front Row, L-R: Orly Oui, Ma Cherie, Androgynie
I can't believe I got Gemma! It's like she read my mind :D and Danni looks amaze too, I just love Zoya! 


Finally I received my order from Kiko cosmetics 

Back Row L-R: 254 Wine Red Microglitter, 364 Dark Crimson, 358 Peach Rose, 356 Melon, 355 Canary Yellow.

Front Row, L-R: 345 Jade Green, 346 Olive Drab, 338 Light Lavander, 332 Dark Violet, 202 Violet Transparent 

These were £2.50 each and you have to spend £25 minimum to order so these were bargains! I have quickly dabbed these onto paper and they all appear to be heavily pigmented and have a big brush which I was not expecting for the price! I can't wait to swatch them and then wear them as full manis, I have a few ideas in mind :) I think Melon looks great for summer! 

all of the above = awesome Nail Mail!! 

Thanks again Anna your package was soooo good! I can't wait to swap with you again :D I have saved that lovely paper, it's currently on my inspiration board :) 


What do you guys think to these polishes? Which are you looking forward to seeing? 

Nail mail!!

Today has been a very good day! 1. Handed in my final project so I can relax for a bit now (without feeling guilty :P) 2. I got two packages 3. I got two Dior polishes :D. 


One package was my Paul and Joe polish, soo pretty! The other was one of my swap packages :D it was from Katee off of A girl and her polish and she totally surprised me with a bunch of 'non- nail related goodies' as she said :), it felt like my birthday when I opened it, sooo much stuff! 

Sorry about all the mess, I was too excited to arrange it nicely lol but yes you are seeing 10 polishes, two lip glosses, one body wash, one body lotion, one card and one bag of sweetiess!

Orly - Fowl Play and Androgynie 

Funky fingers - Power Chord, Tinsel Town and Sand and Stilettos. 

Sinful Colors - Cinderella, Unicorn, Amethyst and Rise and Shine

China Glaze - Fast Track

How awesome! I can't wait to wear the Orlys, I might wait for autumn though, they are so perfect for that season. Fast track looks so coool and cinderella is so cute! Basically this is a lovely package from a lovely lady! I am sure all of you follow her anyway but if you don't you should! 

I had £15 on my Debenhams beauty card somehow (I'm not complaining though!) so I got one of the Dior polishes Lucky :D I am seriously considering going back and getting the matching lipstick, I really like the thought of matching lips and nails. So Lucky cost me £3 wooo, a couple of months ago I would never have bought this shade but now I can realise how unique and pretty it is. Here it is with the Paul and Joe 

Love the bottle! So cute 

Alsoooooooooo I have finally won Dior Waterlily!!! After weeks of bidding I finally won one for £14 so not exactly a bargain but I don't care, all I knew is that Forget me not needed the partner! Ha  

So I have had an awesome day! I got a really nice jumper from H&M too but that's a whole other story ;)

Polish swap has arrived :D

Hey, so finally one of my packages has arrived and it was the one I was most excited about :) myself and the lovely Bethany from A plethora of Nails did a big polish swap, I sent her two Butter Londons and she sent me an Opi and Zoya that I wanted and then we decided that we would go out and buy each other a few polishes from our local shops ie Boots, for a polish culture swap ;). 
I was so excited when I was told I had a package eeee it was THE package so I ripped it open (quite literally) and three mini bottles rolled out of the tissue paper, they are so cute!! I want to say a massive thank you to Bethany, it has been really nice getting to know you better, I hope we continue to stay in contact :) I really love everything that you sent me :D! 

L-R Fruit Smoothie by Confetti, Lets Talk by Sinful colors, Phoebe by Zoya, Disco Ball by Sally Hansen, Trust Fund Baby by Spoiled, Sparkled by Wet N Wild, Battery Park Purple by NYC, Swimsuit Nailed it! By OPI and the three superrrr cute minis an unnamed Bon Bons (?) and HD Nails and This is it by Sinful Colors. 

How cool!! I am so in love with Swimsuit, it's so gorgeous and weirdly I nearly bought Lets Talk by Sinful the other day I kept picking it up and then I put it down, great minds and all that ;). 

The one that I have on right now is the pink glitter! I can't believe I'm typing this but I was drawn to the pink glitter! I tried it on my nail wheel first and decided to put it over the top of one of my only pinks lol. 

This is one easy coat of Rimmel's Style Hunter, it has a strong fine silver shimmer that make it have a pearlised finish.

I think this is one coat of Sparkled, I'm not sure though, this is in the shade as it were.

Two coats with flash

Two coats in sunlight.

My bf really wanted me to wear this one, I was attracted to it too but it was mainly him :P I do like it, Sparkled is a mix of small pink glitter and larger silver glitter, it is very bling as all glitter is but this is so sparkly like its namesake, haha. It is quite gritty, one thick coat of SH ID sorts that out :). One thing I do know is that I can't stop looking at my nails, they're pretttty, so far so good :P. Good choice Bethany!

On a side note I discovered today that Barry M now do Magnetic polish! There were about 8 slots but only two had polish in, one was red with a striped magnet and the one I got was grey with a circular waved pattern, I know another is blue with a star as that is what the woman in the promo is wearing! I'll be sure to check back soon to see what the others are, they cost £4.99 which is steep for Barry M but I guess these types of polishes are two in one and you can switch magnets if you get them all :). I'm quite excited to try it out to be honest I wasn't really feeling magnetic polish when it first came out but I am seeing the fun in it now :P. 

Thank you again Bethany :) I hope you're having as much fun with my package and I hope everyone else enjoyed this swap post :)
