Cleaning Out The Photo File - Random Swatches!

The way my blog works, when I photograph anything for my blog it goes in to a folder on my desktop that is entitled blog ready. That means the photo has been taken, edited if need be and is ready to go. Sometimes pictures pile up and I have had up to 300 photos in there at some points.

I usually end up going through and deleting photos that are 6+ months old. Or photos of limited edtion items that are sold out and I didnt get up in time. But this time, instead of just deleting, I figured I would just make a single post of a bunch of swatches.

These pics are really old. Its hard to look at them now and see the difference in quality and clarity from then to now. But I thought better to show them to you guys before deleting them forever!

Thinking Of You!

So as you all have noticed I have been MIA the last two weeks. I am more or less back to normally scheduled programming and should be back to posting. I have a PILE (and I mean a pile!!) of bags and boxes of nail polishes that came in the last two week so get ready for a whole bombardment of polishes, both indie and higher end as well as some special deals and discounts just for my readers!

BUT... Before I get into all of them, I just wanted to share with you the most exciting package that was in the pile. I have lots of exciting polishes but this package surprised and touched me and I am just so happy and touched by it I wanted to post it FIRST!!!

Now I am not sure if I have mentioned it before on the blog but I LOVE monkeys. And not just real monkeys. I love love love cartoon monkeys. No idea if she knew this or if it was coincidence but I LOVE IT!!!

Nail-Venturous Floam which she knew I was wanting, and a POP beauty colour because she had heard me say I wanted to try more of them!!

A MASSIVE thank you to Lauri! You completely made my day!

Secret Easter Bunny Reveal - TAKE ONE!

So I got my first of my two easter bunny RAOKS from the exchange I regularly organize. OMG!! So many wishlist polishes! So many non wishlist polishes that had I seen WOULD have been on my wishlist! I can not begin to say how much of a pick me up this was this week!!

OMG!! Look how pretty and packed this box is! An expert packer for sure!

Everything out of the box (I did dig and dig and dig!!)

The non polish goodies (my mom and dad ate all the lindor chocolates, and I ate all the bunnies already!)

First up, the three carrots!

Nailtini Sugar Rim - a wishlist polish!

Tuff Scents - Mother Nature - Another wishlist polish!!

And yet another wishlist polish!

I will not lie. I opened this box up and screamed like a two year old! Then I stopped what I was doing and painted each hand with one of the two colours. And coated it with Nailtini Sugar Rim! And omg. This is seriously the best magnetic polish I have tried! It was super easy to use and it really really shows the design!!

Next up were the oh so cute eggs!!

Had I ever seen this colour it WOULD have been on my wishlist. OMG!! AWESOME BALLZ!! Thats right. I said it.

This one I mentioned in a blog post ages ago that I was eyeing, but had never put it on my wishlist. How she remembered is beyond me!

Now on to the bags!

No idea what colour this one is called, but its oh so pretty and has INSANE silver shimmer in it!! Cant wait to try it! My first of this brand! The bottles look exactly like nailgirls though. I wonder if they are connected...

Had to stop to show you the wrapping paper she used. Its glitter tissue - and oh my gosh is there now glitter all over me, all over my clothes, all over the living room floor and all over the house! YES!! I've been glitterized!!

Another new to me brand I have never used before! LOVE the cork top to it!

FINALLY!!!!!!!! MANGLAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The lovely Gore Princess (who can be found here) has had me yearning for these for sooo long! Number one colour on the manglaze wishlist too! Cant wait!
