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!
