Nyx Haulies Number 1!

It's almost 10am on Sunday... and I'm still in bed. I had to get up at 6.30am to take Nick to the bus as per usual, but as soon as I got home I climbed straight back into bed. I don't plan on getting up either, unless there's a blanket and lots of cushions on the couch involved. It is absolutely pelting down outside. There's been thunder and lightning and the rain just hasn't let up. There's a lake surrounding my car, so there's no way I plan on going anywhere today. Ok maybe lake is an exaggeration, but I'd get my feet wet if I tried to get into my car.

Yesterday the first of my Nyx orders from Cherry Culture arrived. Exciting!

Sparkle, Bronze Goddess, Smoldering and Black

Hot Blue, Hunter Green, Alaskan Wild and Sour Lime.

Bella, Fairy Dust, Maui Sunrise, Florida Orange and Forever 1989.

I had plans to swatch them all then and there. Nick had different ideas. Apparently Brink (latest game he's playing) came out on Friday and hes been experiencing gamer withdrawal since the Playstation Network has been down. So apparently he needed to play Brink on the xbox all day, with the curtains drawn. Our living room is wonderfully bright, but he shuts out all the wonderful light to ensure his picture is better. So I had no natural light to take photos in. I set off to make a light box. hahahaha. Yeah I think I'll buy one...
I need a solution to the problem of a New Zealand Winter and lack of natural sunlight to take photos. So I may just purchase a light box set, with lamps. I think the lighting source was my main problem, too yellow, but I looked for daylight lamps and wow were they expensive. I think it'll work out better just to buy a kit with everything.
