A good week for Nice Things & 15% off Nubar - Just Nice Things

A good week for Nice Things & 15% off Nubar

Read Time:2 Minute, 21 Second

No polish for you today. This is partially because I am wearing a very cool manicure at the moment that I want to keep for longer than a day. And partially because I want to show you some things.

I don’t want to look like I’m gloating….but I do feel lucky (punk).

First up:

My Elfster swap. For those of you who don’t know about this, the lovely Nicole of Magic Maid set up this fun secret santa swap earlier in the year. My poor Elf didn’t realise –  til the parcel was returned to her – that she isn’t allowed to post nail varnish outside of her country (let’s hope and pray other borders don’t cotton on to that one) so the parcel that was originally destined for me was returned.

But, unabashed, my Elf put together another package and sent me these lovely things instead. Chocolate, nail buffer, glitter, body wash, a Hello Kitty make-up bag, and lots and lots of nail art stickers. I can’t wait to try these out!! And also…my Elf remained anonymous in her note and package, so I don’t even know who to say thankyou to. Whoever you are (and I will find out!), THANKYOU! I love everything and am very grateful to the effort you went to!

Second up are the prizes that arrived this week from Nora of Nail of the Week. I was over the moon last week to learn that I’d won her giveaway. If you haven’t checked out her blog yet, you really should. Her photos are fabulous, her writing is informative, and she has a brilliant collection of nail varnishes. This is guaranteed to make a girl happy – look what we have…

Chanel, Dior, OPI Designer Series…and my first CND and Nfu-Oh polishes! Hurrah! Thankyou Nora for being generous enough to part with these beauties!

And, as if that weren’t enough…

Can you guess what it is yet?

Limited edition glitters from Illamasqua! Just look how gorgeous these are. I cannot wait to try these out! I know I should have had these on my Christmas list, but I seriously couldn’t wait that long. I got a sneaky peek of these a good few weeks back but didn’t get to try them. So happy they’re finally here!

Oh and you can’t buy the glitters individually, so I now have a back-up of Baptiste. I am getting closer and closer to holding that blog sale I’ve been thinking of. What do you reckon? Would you be interested if I held a blog sale?

And finally…..if you are interested in purchasing any Nubar polishes (and you know you are!) head to Beauty Shed and enter the code GLAM09 at the checkout, as you’ll get 15% off your first order. What are you waiting for? Happy shopping!

    What nice gifts. Shame that you didn’t get your polishes. I read that others just wrote cosmetics on the package. I just don’t get why we can’t send polish thru the mail. I guess because it’s inflammatory. Phooey! I used to work for the Postal Service and there we’re pretty amazing things sent in the mail. The worst was a letter that had a dried fish in it from Africa. It was still pretty much intact but boy did it reek. Everyone had to leave the area. Nice polishes you won! I have 2 of Baptiste. I accidentally ordered another. I finally got Milf from Sephora. They were supposed to email went it was in. They did twice and twice it was sold out again. The other night I was just looking around and there it was. I got it two days later. Enjoy the holidays sweetie!

    Too bad the custom sent the package back. My secret santa did write nail polish on the form but i received it a few weeks ago. Maybe it depends on how lucky you are.
    I love the first two polishes from the limited edition of illamasquara- I haven’t tried them yet but (again?!) they don’t sell them here in austria…

    That was genius of your elfster! What a lovely package! Look like you made out like a bandit in that contest!! Did I spy Jade Rose?! Enjoy. I have mixed feelings about it 🙁 I finally got my first Illamasqua polish – Milf, but OH how I am lemming that duo – hiss, I think, the one iwth the red glitter and black polish. (sigh) I wish these things were available in the USA! Enjuoy them, I can’t wait to see swatches (and drool LOL)

    I’m so jealous of the Illasmasqua polishes! I loved the look of them when we got a sneak preview.

    Dried fish?? No way! Ugh!

    let me know how you get on with Milf. I love it.

    Do they not ship to Austria? That’s a shame.
    I know customs seem to be getting tighter about things, and let’s face it, nail varnish is rather dangerous!

    I know – I can’t wait to try them out!

    Ah it’s not Jade Rose but it does look similar. Are the Illamasqua glitters UK only then?

    I’m not sure if the glitters will be in the blog sale….but you can rest assured a load of other things will be!
