    Very plain look today - no sparkles or colour!

    I decided today I wanted to go for the "mannequin hands" look.

    Nail polish - Essence Iced Latte - a really nice creamy beige/taupe with hints of pink.

    Got my order from Nailsupplies.us today, I only ordered on Friday! They were packed really, really well and I didn't have to pay customs. I'm so impressed, I'm definitely going to order from them again, they're well worth the expensive shipping for the service, amazing. I got three Barielles:

    L-R: Blackened Bleu, Elle's Spell, Shannon's Attitude

    Barielle.jpg

    And 6 China Glazes, 5 were for me.
    L-R: Wagon Trail, Lubu Heels, Ruby Pumps, Short & Sassy, Atlantis

    Yesterday the Postman brought some swaps and surprises, first was a lovely surprise from a nail polish friend, A-England Tristam:

    Then there was a swap from a lovely twitter friend in Germany.
    L-R: Holo Que Tal?!, Godfather of Pearl, Have an Ice Day, Return of Space Cowboy

    She also sent 4 of the new Catrice polishes.
    L-R: Steel My Soul, George Blueney, Steel My Heart, No Snow Petrol.

    Himself thinks I am cracked in the head, but I'm completely justifying this behaviour on the fact that I no longer smoke and don't go to the pub.


    I've about 20 more on the way. :o

    Shanna, that's some haul of polishes you got in the post!!
    How much did the postage cost from nail supplies ? I was looking on it the other day and for 4/6 polishes it was $23 for postage and that worked out about €9 for each one which I thought was expensive

    Has anyone seen Colour Club polishes around Dublin? I saw Lyndar the Merciless had a blog post saying they were now in selected pharmacies in Ireland but no sign of them round my neck of the woods!

    If you're still looking for them & ever find yourself on Baggot Street the chemist opposite Donnybrook Fair (so the furthest away from town end of Baggot Street, after the Bridge) has a whole rack of them.

    These are my nails. I did them last night for today's job interview. The one with flash is closer to how the colour looks on my nails, but still isn't quite right. It is a lovely shimmery pink colour irl perfectly pinky nude kinda thing. It was one of my swap polishes. There are three coats on.

    You're allowed 9 polishes for the $23 limit, I don't think it'd be worth getting less. You could always get them as presents or back-ups? It's not something I'd do every week but for attacking the wishlist and celebrating the lack of nicotine, I was delighted :D

    Here was my order:

    BA-Blackened Bleu 0.45oz 5074 1 $3.60 USD
    BA-Elle's Spell 0.45oz 5103 1 $3.60 USD
    BA-Shannon’s Attitude 5182 1 $3.60 USD
    CG-Atlantis #813 (G) 80406 1 $3.40 USD
    CG-I'm With The Lifeguard 0.5oz #1089 80443 1 $2.99 USD
    CG-Lubu Heels 0.5oz #601 77064 1 $2.99 USD
    CG-Ruby Pumps 0.5oz. 70577 1 $2.99 USD
    CG-Short & Sassy 0.5oz 80311 1 $2.99 USD
    CG-Wagon Trail 0.5oz #667 80885 1 $2.99 USD
    Subtotal: $29.15 USD
    Shipping: $23.00 USD
    Grand Total: $52.15 USD

    Today's exchange rate, it comes to e42. That's e4.60 for each one, they were wrapped up in protective stuff and packing beans and came in a little box. Ordered Friday, came today :)

    I got a Shellac french polish done today (sorry for the crap pic its from my webcam) Very pleased with it. Although you can't really see it in the picture the shine off it is incredible. Also got it done it done for €20, which I think is fairly reasonable.

    Walking by my local chemists window today and did that snap-your-head-around-the-essence-stand-looks-different-must-investigate thing. Initial worry was all the essence stuff was being phased out BUT instead, all essence stuff in shiny new bottles! They had all the snow white stuff as well (but only picked up the stickers cos either not pushed on the colours or have very similar).

    Had amazing thing happen where picked up a bottle of polish because it was very similar to a bottle I was after but when it was dry it was a totally different colour to what I was expecting, so it was actually the almost the exact colour I was after. (Huge amounts better than the opposite where the polish dries and you're like 'hmmm....that's not what I wanted...) Love it - 'walk on the wildside'

    I've been wearing China Glaze Atlantis for the past few days so today I decided to take it off and my nails are slightly stained blue from it.

    Also have to put remover on cotton pads then wrap them around my nails with tin foil to get the polish off, nightmare.

    Is it a glitter polish? Glitter polishes are THE WORST. Different levels of ick I have found, but some take FOREVER to come off, you be near ripping at your nails to get it off and have billions of bits of the cotton from the pad stuck to your nails :(
