China Glaze Happy HoliGlaze: The Foils

Soooo... I may have just realized that I had these swatches sitting in my drafts.... They're from Christmas last year!

The important thing to note though is I'm back! And I have a plan to post regularly this year. I currently have over 4000 swatch photos to go through.

I still love my nail polish, but I no longer feel the need to buy every polish of every collection. In fact I haven't bought an opi since the Brazil collection. My love of makeup has expanded and I'd love the go back to featuring makeup on here as well. I'm currently subscribed to two subscription boxes and have been loving those. Need to share!

In other words, I'm back! I have plans for my blog and want to share more than polish with everyone.

For now enjoy some swatches of last year's Christmas collection from China Glaze.

Naild' it: Christmas

My house has officially been de-christmased.

Unfortunately I just didn't have room to keep my beautiful tree up in my lounge... well I would have had room, except I'm on a bit of a de-cluttering and cleaning binge. Tree was clutter.And I needed the room for my exercise machine. Needs to lose weight...again lol. It's a never ending cycle.

If you want to join in and get fit/lose those Christmas/stress/I ate all the naughty food pounds... add me on My Fitness Pal. My name is Gimikd... that's original of me.

Anyway back to my original point.... My house is cleared of Christmas... but nails are not! Yes I'm still rocking as many Christmas/holiday polishes as possible.

Today I have the 2 Naild' It polishes I picked up from Llarowe.

No Elfing Way over Revlon Mint Gelato

As soon as I saw the first piccies of No Elfing Way I needed it. I had to have it. It didn't disappoint. this was one coat of glittery goodness.

Light Show

Light Show on the other hand was one that magically jumped into my cart. I hadn't predetermined to buy it... But I'm glad I did. it's so unusual. The neon and black in the light base. This was three coats.

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a fab Christmas. Here's my Christmas in pictures...

First up swatches!
these were my Christmas day nails.

Girly Bits You're a Mean One over Sinful Colors Olympia

And this is what I wore on my little toesies.

Pretty & Polished Happy Holo-days Duo

And here's the combined affect... my actual nails of the day, not swatches! I love that I got a little black heart on my pinkie.

And now my 3 Christmas's.

First off at our house in the morning...

My reluctant husband and I

My favourite sundress and my tree and me!

I love the blue glow of the lights

Then Christmas brunch with nicks family. my family all came as well, which was really awesome. I hate having to pick and choose who to spend Christmas with. So spending Christmas with everyone was awesome. Except for the heat. it was so darn hot. I don't do well in the heat.

Nick's parents tree. A real one!

Bubbles

Nom noms

 Then in the afternoon we went back to my parents for Christmas dinner. The boys built their Lego (yes they are adults...I let nick buy as much Lego as he wants and he doesn't comment on my nail polish collection...or my shoes) and I finally started to feel comfortable thanks to the air con. Did I mention I don't do well in the heat?

Mum and dad's tree

Building Lego

Nom noms! That lamb was delicious. 

 We finally got home and I put away all my goodies and went to bed. Nick and David stayed up til what ever time black Black Ops... But I was content in my sleep.

And of course all my goodies. I was seriously spoilt.

Clothes, body lotion, clips, snow fairy and serving bowls from mum and dad. Yes I love wearing bright colours and have cardigan and hair clip obsessions. And I had so many serving platters but no bowls for when I have guests. I like all my serving ware to be white a square...so good work mum!

iPad mini... my new baby... my birthday and Christmas present from Nick.

Lime Crime polishes from Smokey. She's such a clever kitty! I love my Lime Crime rainbow.

iPad mini case and voucher from my darling brother.

Drink fountain (seriously this is freakin' awesome. I can't wait to have drinks at our place and use it for some alcoholic concoction), 2 OPI shatters and a chocolate and mug gift set from my Secret Santa.

Don't worry I spoilt everyone as well :)

China Glaze: Holiday Joy

It's 5am Christmas morning here, so of course I've been awake since 3.30am feeling
It's a long standing joke really, anytime there is something important I get sick. My birthday, Christmas, graduation... I think the worst was my 21st birthday. I was rather ill and everyone thought I'd just been drinking too much. I didn't have a drop of alcohol.

At least I'm getting all the Boxing Day sales emails. I've already done a lush order. 50% off... Yes please. I didn't buy any snow fairy before Christmas and Nick finished my bottle.

Anyway here's some more Christmas polishes. The China Glaze Holiday Joy collection, well my picks anyone... And yes I did just buy the glitters and shimmers.

Cranberry Splash

Pure Joy, over Cranberry Splash

Blue Bells Ring

Glistening Snow

Winter Holly

Champagne Kisses
