Classy except for the Clean - Up

Please excuse the really bad clean up on these, I can't explain why, apparently the cleaning part of my brain is still on holidays.

This is Revlon Fire Fox, which is really a Matte Suede, with Konad Special Black stamped on the top. Didn't notice the plate number sorry.

On another note, my tax time purchases have started arriving. I'm slightly embarrased at the amount. Should I wait till everything has come and do a big haul post. Ot do little haul post as the stuff comes in. I'm more inclined to do the second one and have a really big finish(trust me it's big). What do you think?

Purple Colour Change

This is so cool this polish. I keep walking into things as a go between inside and outside.BYS ColourChange in Purple Glitter.

Warm on the left cool on the right.

Definately recommend some of these if you win my BIG BIRTHDAY BYS BONANZA.

Just over a week to enter.

Copper Mani.

Hi this is taken with my other new camera (Another purchase for the month). Just a little one this time, other is a big SLR.

This is Revlon Copper Penny.

Not one from my big tax day haul, this came from shopping with my mum before we saw Harry Potter on Friday.

Must spice it up tonight, my man doesn't like that it's boring.

Tax Time Problems, or Tax Time Greatness

Got my tax back and this is what I've purchased in the last 24 hours.
China Glaze Metal Crackles x6
Color Club x20
BYS x10
Liquid Palisade
Nail Art Pens x24
Glitter Nail Art Pens x12
Nubar Night Sky Collection
Fake Nails so I can sort polishes by colour.
Little boxes for above fake nails.

I have got to stop, or I wont have enough for a new fish tank.
Hopefully these things get delivered before school holidays finish, so my man doesn't notice.
They probably wont fit in my Lennart's (Things from IKEA that didn't cost as much as Helmer's.)
I will do a post on my storage when my new things come in.
Also I got my giveaway pack from Sharon at Polish Infatuated so they will be in a post soon too.

Happy Day

Yay. Out little Custard is all better, which we weren't expecting 'cause he was literaaly lying on the bottom of the tank not moving. Thank for all your good wishes. Here's a version of the mani I wore over the weekend. And got lots of comments on.

Ths is Ulta3 Snazzle with BYS Matte Blue on the accents.

Sad Day

No pics today. Trying to nurse our very sick favourite fish back to health. Hopefully we can, he's such a cool fish.

Fail, Fail and, finally a Win

Some good ideas, I thought, that really didn't work.

Firstly Shatter Patchwork Mani.

Can't believe I'm actually showing a pic of this immense fail.

Then a Splatter Mani. Apparently something that everyone else in the world can do but me.

And , finally, yay something I can bear to look at for a couple of days. Zoya Lolly (Mod Mattes) with Nubar 2010 on the tiop then a matte topcoat.

Scotch Tape Practice.

Here are some pics of Scotch Tape practice. I wan't intending it to be practice but the man did'nt like the first one,then didn't like the second one so I just had fun with it from there.I don't think I need to tell any one about my inspiration for Tape manis but I will anyway, the fantastic Erika at Chloe's Nails, does amazng things with Scotch Tape.

This is Ulta3 English on the bottom with BYS Mint Green Matte and BYS Black Matte as the accents. I found the BYS mattes to be incrediblt good for using with Scotch Tape.

If you don't have any yet, maybe you can win them in my Giveaway which is being sponsored by fashionaddict.com.au, a fantastic place to get the entire BYS range.

Giveaway Thanks.

Just a quick thanks to all who have entered my giveaway so far. I love reading all your blogs and hope you like mine too.

Too Much Green

Here is my 'ouch my eyes hurt' green mani.
It is 2 coats of Color Club The Lime Starts Here over 2 coats of China Glaze Refresh-Mint.
However when me and the man looked at it last night it was way too green, and that was inside with the dull light on. So I put China Glaze Black Mesh over the top.

Even with the crackle when I went outside into the sun this morning the green was still ouchy on my eyes.

Very, very, very, green this one.
