Feather Effect polishes are also new and SOOOOO cool!!! They come in four colours, Edinburgh (pale blue and peach), Brighton (teal and yellow), Cornwall (blue and white) and York (peach and white) and yes. I need ALL of these!!

Photobucket

There is also a new Denim and Stars collection that has new denim finish polishes. There will also be a kit that includes a Denim polish and star embellishments. 

The other thing I am really really looking forward too is the Concrete collection of four shades that dry to a matte, "concrete" finish. The four shades are Marble Arch (red), Stonehenge (blue), London Wall (nude) and Monument (lime).  The finish is supposed to be really interesting different to the standard matte polishes wer have come to get used to and I am soooooooo excited to see these!!

China Glaze Angel Wings VS China Glaze Ultimate Holiday!

I said when I swatched Angel Wings for the first time that it reminded me of the Ulta Exclusive Ultimate Holiday from last year. Well, I went and grabbed Ultimate Holiday in order to compare and let me just say there IS a reason that I thought they were similar. They are almost IDENTICAL!

  Photobucket

The colours of the both of them are almost identical in the bottle but Ultimate Holiday is much more holograhic. If you squint and try to compare Ultimate Holiday is a tinge more yellow.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Now in THESE photos with a camera set on macro you can see UH is more yellow. In person with just your eyes, they are IDENTICAL. There is NO difference. They both dry to a slightly gritty almost matte glitter. But in real life without the aide of a macro lens, these are the same colour for all intents and purposes.

Naild'it Unique Polish In Dandelion

So I must say this polish is the best of any of the ones I have tried from this brand. Dandelion is a polish with a clear suspension base, small and large white hex glitter and bar glitter, medium yellow hex glitter and loaded with a super fine white shimmer in it. This polish is AMAZING over black and probably really cute over a bright blue or green!

The application on this was really nice actually and this is two thin coats.

Holiday Wish List - REVISED!

So a few weeks back I posted my holiday wishlist. I wish I could say that it stayed stagnate but it has certainly evolved! I have managed to pick up most of this list, and a few items came off the last list. But all in all, I want all 96 of these holiday polishes and I think ALL of them are limited edition (with the possible exception of the Cult Nails set).

Photobucket

Ok, so that being said, of that insane shopping list, this is all I have left to pick up from the list!!

  Photobucket

What polishes are you needing or loving this holiday season?

Estee Lauder Swarovski Elements Evening Bag Collection

So this is my big debate. While talking to the wonderful sales associate Myle (I know!! A sales associate that isn't Melanie!!) at the Estee Lauder counter in the Vancouver Holt Renfrew she mentioned to me that there is a new Swarovski clutch that is exclusive to Holt Renfrew. She was really nice about it (we don't have an Estee Lauder counter at our store) and she took a photo of it and sent it to me by text.

Photobucket

It is a taupe coloured clutch completely bedazzled in Swarovski crystals and comes with a crystal mirror and a pretty pink lipstick. The price tag ($75) is very reasonable for the set considering the lipstick on its own retails for $32. I have a purple leather clutch, a teal suede clutch, and two Matt & Nat clutches in purple and red. I do need a neutral and a black clutch. So the question is do I need THIS one? Sigh................

I will let you know if I end up getting it! Until then I would really appreciate your opinions on it!!

Secret Santa 2012 - The First Reveal!

So its that time again, the current (Secret Santa) exchange I organize is in full swing and I got my package yesterday (2 weeks before Chanukah starts!!) . I must say I love EVERYTHING! Every single colour is one I would have picked out myself (one of them I had actually already ordered!!) and they are all perfect colours for me! I am super excited to try everyone. 

Photobucket

So I know I am the one who draws names and sends out matches. But I never pay much attention and its usually 2 am when I start. So I can truly say I never know who has me. I don't ever remember who I gave my survey too and I certainly am not going to go look it up haflway through! But when I saw the package came from Germany, it was an instant giveaway!!!

Photobucket

And this right here is the closest I will ever get to owning an Hermes box or package! LMAO!

Photobucket

Photobucket

This is what I saw when I lifted the card!

Photobucket

Some candy (my dad has already eaten!!) and another package!

Photobucket

And in the packet is some bath salts!! I take baths three to four times a week so it will be well appreciated!!

Photobucket

And then there is a layer of pretty paper pieces to protect everything

Photobucket

And then more goodies!!

Photobucket

Everything else out of the box!

Photobucket

Oops! Forgot to take a photo of it wrapped. You can OBVIOUSLY figure out which package this one was though! And oh my gosh!! It smells sooooooooooooo good. I seriously can not stop smelling it!

Photobucket

This one I kind of knew what it was by the shape of the package! I was really hoping I was right, I have soooo many Butter Londons on my wishlist right now! And I was right. This one on my wishlist, but sadly, not as high up the list as it should have been had I actually seen it in person! OMG! It is GORGEOUS!!! Its pretty much the silver version of Fishwife!!!

Next up is a polish I had just gotten. But since I LOVED it when I got it and I can not get it here in Canada, it is the perfect colour to have a backup of! Catrice It's All I Can Blue!

I have one other colour by P2 and it was ALSO from a Secret Santa gift from Germany. This one is an effect top coat I have never seen or heard of before in ANY brand! A Silvery Matte Top Coat?
