Nail Mail
Hi
Goddesses
I hope you’re having a great Saturday. This has been a very trying and emotional
week for me, so you can imagine how perfect it was to receive so much FABULOUS
nail mail. Sadly though, there’s not a
lot more out there. There’s my PAA
Secret Santa, 10 yes 10 omg 10 Ozotics, 3 gallons of Zoya Remove, a swap with
Emma and a couple of little randoms. L
For now, let’s focus on the joy that was this
week’s (and a little bit of last week’s) nail mail …..
First up we have a swap I did with Rachael
Watters from PAA. I wanted Joe Fresh
Twilight, she wanted some Barry Ms J I LOVE the package she
sent, but was totally unprepared for it lol.
I opened it and literally my desk became covered in glitter and
rhinestones ha ha. I especially love
this “10 more minutes” sleeping mask – that really sums me up.
As well as Twilight, she spoilt me with some
great stickers, a mini Kleancolor in Metallic Yellow and an Art Deco striper
pen in purple glitter (am I that obvious?
Mmmmm, yes probably so J). We also need to
applaud her very cool tape and those lovely flowery string things she used – I think
they may make good spring nail art.
Thanks Rachael – you killed a lemming and provided me with a joyful gift
on a sad day xx
Next, one of the nail mails I was soooooo
excited for – a bumper package from the amazing Bee of
beepolished.blogspot.com. This started
with a request for CG Some Like It Haute and escalated from there! I also asked for the SH Nail Crush in purple
and the CG Glittering Garland.
Everything else, Bee chose for me, and she showed how well she knows me
cos I loves it all!!
Milani Purple Gleam, SH Gem Crush in
Bejeweled, CG Tempest, an amazing swirly blurple (how I have ever missed this?)
and Savvy Deep Amethyst which comes in the world’s *heaviest* bottle.
Then we have CG Velvet Bow (inspired choice),
CG Evening Seduction, and CG Long Kiss, another great choice as well as a cause
I wholeheartedly support (there should be more long kisses in the world).
Aaaaaaaand the lusted after CG Glittering Garland,
CG Some Like It Haute and CG Twinkle Lights (perfect for our Purple Crumpet
Fairy 31 Day Challenge).
Bee being Bee, it didn’t end there, and I also
got some chewy sweets, a massive lolly, a Hello Kitty nail file which is going
to have to be hidden fast otherwise Beth will be having it, a lip balm, and
some Nivea. Thanks angel, I loved it all
xxxx
3 from eBay now – an OPI called I Don’t Do
Dishes. I must admit, I bought this for
the name alone, and anyone who knows me will know how perfect a polish choice
this is for me J and then 2 mega bargains, Zoya Rica and Reva
which I got for the combined total, incl shipping, of £5 !! super happiness J
Now on to a bundle from one of my favourite
ebayers, Pretty Things For You and Me.
An AMAZING LA Glitter Addict called Celebrate (siiiigh, if only this had
arrived earlier, the jelly sammich fiasco might never have happened), Wet n
Wild Blue Wants to Be a Millionaire and SH Teal-y Cool. Seriously, all these blues – what is going on
with me ??!!
3 Ma.Nish.Ma holos. I’d never heard of them before but they
looked pretty – I got Beyond Opal, Space Silver and Blaster. And a Claire’s Accessories wonderbomb called
Hollywood.
Revlon Carbonite (free gift from Janet, coming
up shortly), NYX Prismatic Gold and a weird pale green shimmery thing – Glitter
and Stars by Palladium.
Then 2 more CG holos – Techno Teal and Laser
Lime.
2 randoms – Wet n Wild Buy Me A Drink and
Leighton Denny The Heiress which looks sooooo cool.
And then 7 – yes 7 and I resisted the urge to
buy more – LA Splash glitters. Don’t
these look AMAZING – I can’t wait to a purple skittle with some of these J sooooo exciting. Anyway yes they are, from the left, Dare to
Make Waves, Sparkling Fushia, Rainbow Purple (not a glitter), Sparkling Lilac,
Lavender, Atlantis and Enchantress. Yum
!!! And they are not even the BEST of
what I got this week, just wait ….
Some Nail Art pens total mixture in the hope
of more “dexterity” and precision lol.
And then.
We have. My super order. From Llarowe.
I have been having a tough time lately.
Today is the 11th anniversary of my mum dying, and …. Well,
what’s a polish-aholic with a retail therapy issue going to do but buy polish
???!!! so here we have ……
The amazing a-England Lady of The Lake, which
I have already blogged and which is now my official favourite polish Of All
Time, my first Ludurana, Reluz, HITS Dionisio and HITS Posiedon ….. and then …..
My first 4 Ozotics!!!! Literally off the scale excitement. Just, ah, oh, I oh I just want to LOOK at
them ALL day long. I bought 504, 529,
528 and 520. Man I cannot wait to play
with these !!!
Oh yes and finally, I also took delivery of
about 200 polishes this week for frankening, or just to use the empty
bottles. They literally didn’t cost m
more than £50 in total, incl postage.
This is the only one I want to show you because it looks so pretty and
because it’s 36 purples !!!
Eenie meenie miny mo, if I wasn’t doing a
Christmas Challenge …. Argh! So many sexy goddesses to pay with.
Enjoy J xx

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
