Pink Wednesday Spam

I almost forgot Pink Wednesday!
I'm cheating this week....this is not my current mani. you can tell because I don't have a stubby nail!
I was actually wearing Zoya Dove with China glaze Cracked Concrete today...and then when I changed my nails this evening I applied BB Couture Nike...nothing pink about my choices...

But these nails are pink, so enjoy some pink polishes for pink Wednesday.

Color Club Space Case

Color Club Ultra-Astral

OPI Too Pink To Hold 'em

Color Club Yum Gum

Color Club Raspberry Rush


Nicole Enchanted with Love Your Life

Zoya Happi

Zoya Reece
Yes they were just all the pics of pink polish I had on the desktop computer! I normally have my pics on my HP Mini, seeing as that's what I use to blog. But the mini was too far away to get...
I've posted some of these before, but Too Pink To Hold Em, Space case and Ultra-Astral have never been seen. I really should post the pics of my OPI Texas polishes and my Color Club Starry Temptress ones...
I've had both for awhile now.

Pirates...

Because I'm still patiently waiting for my PotC polishes to arrive...
Seriously if you haven't checked out this awesome video from Lonely Island...you should! Go watch it now.

Girly Orly's

Ahhhh! I had one of those mornings today. Actually it's been 'one of those' last couple of days!

I managed to blow a fuse and sink half my house into darkness, Nick missed his bus so I had to drive 40min to drop him in (when I wasn't ready and had to be at school), Mum's birthday was on Monday, it was Mothers Day Sunday...and mum's sick.

Oh and did I mention my dress fitting is only 2 weeks away...Ahhhh!

In awesometastic news the wii tells me I lost 2kg last week....so if I can just keep doing that losing weight thing...maybe the dress fitting will go ok! It just has to stay off until July 22nd! Good thing I love salad. Shame I'm not as keen on the exercise, but I'll keep it up!

talking off losing weight for weddings and other girly things...
Here's two gorgeously girly Orlys.


Catch the Bouquet
 Catch the Bouquet is such a pretty girly polish. Shimmering baby pink with a pale blue flash and what could be a glass flecked finish. Oh so girly. Shame it's uber sheer and I have no patience...4 coats and all aboard  to glob-ville! If I had patience I wouldn't have that problem...


Supernatural
The bottle's not near me, and google wasn't much help, so I'm not sure if it's Supernatural or Super Natural...but that doesn't change the awesomness of this polish. So much more than a tired old neutral...Supernatural is a warm pink with stunning gold shimmer. Seriously it's pretty cool. I like it anyway!

Third Row: Sorbet, Whipped, Caffe Latte and Chocolate Moose.

Algae

Currently I'm rocking Nyx Girls Algae on my nails.
Wow, it is an amazing colour! Kind of a dusty a teal colour, Algae isn't my normal shade of polish. I am loving Algae though! And I keep thinking how amazing it would look with Silver Shatter. ohhhh! Hurry up and arrive my Silver Shatter!

Sorry for the terrible pics, lighting has been shocking lately. Boo for Autumn and Winter coming.

Algae with flash.

Algae with what little natural light there was!
Ok time to stop being lazy and get up! Wii Biggest Loser....then tidy the house...then go and buy Nicks 'suit' for the wedding...my poor bank account :(

NYX Spam: Runway 10 Colour Eyeshadow Palettes

There's a couple of days left to stock up on NYX with the Cherry Culture NYX sale.
Enter code NMS50 at check out and you'll get 50% off the 'sale' items.
AWESOME!! ok I may or may not have made three orders...

The first was just polish, then I was thinking I wanted some lipsticks...then I wanted more polish...opps!

Anyway here's some swatches of some of my favourite NYX products, the Runway and For Your Eyes Only Palettes. These are all swatched on my bare skin, no primer.


For Your Eyes Only: Smokey Eye
 An awesome collection of neutrals, silvers and darker tones to create that perfect smokey eye. One of my most commonly used palettes. The colours work for every occasion.


For Your Eyes Only: Blue Eyes
 Well I do have rather blue eyes, so how could I pass up a palette just for me! Some delicious warm orangey toned shades to make blue eyes pop and of course the blues. Not one I reach for a lot...but I love to have the option! It really does looks awesome with my blue eyes.


Runway Collection: Strike a Pose
 The brightest palette I have from NYX...so the poor palette doesn't get used too often. I just find myself reaching for my neutrals. There are some awesome warm brown, bronze tones in this palette. I have to remind myself how stunning the colours are and to use it more often. The white shadow is pretty handy!


Runway Collection: Versus
 Versus is another one of my regularly used palettes. Gorgeous neutrals and purples. Some of the purples are not as pigmented as NYX shadows normally are, but they're still well worth it. A very pretty feminine palette.


Runway Collection: Champagne and Caviar
Champagne and Caviar must be the most used of these 5 palettes. I love this one! 10 stunning neutral shades...whats not to love!

If you want to check out more NYX swatches I have a tone NYX Round Lipsticks which I have swatched.
You can find them here:

Neutrals
Light Pinks
Pinks
Mauve
Nudes
Reds
Second order
Orange Soda and Peony

And here's a link to my swatches of the Mega Shine Lip Glosses I own. They're my favourite gloss!

Feeling Blue


China Glaze Blue Iguana
For some odd reason I'm feeling rather down this morning. Lucky China Glaze Blue Iguana is the perfect cheer me up shade of blue. Look at the delicious shiny sparkle!
