Waiting...

I don't like waiting. I want things now, not in three week time.
At the moment I'm waiting for some big things and some really insignificant things.

I'm waiting for our mortgage documents to come through.
I'm waiting for settlement day, for our new house.
I'm waiting for mums foot to heal.
I'm waiting for Nick to get home.
I'm waiting for a seller to reply to me on ebay as to why an item was missing.
I'm waiting for my Snow White costume.
I'm waiting for my Beauty and the Beast bracelet.
I'm waiting for the nail polish I ordered.
I'm waiting for a parcel from Cherry Culture.
I'm waiting for the new Percy Jackson book to come out.
I'm waiting for my ring.

Waiting is kinda boring. You can't waste your life waiting. You need to keep doing.
Yes alot of those things I just need to be patient and wait for, but it's hard when you're excited!

OPI Shoot Out at the O.K Coral

Gorgeous Summer shade.

Suprisingly enough I'd describe Shoot out at the O.K Coral as a coraly pink shade. Its special because of the blue flash.It's a nice summery colour.

Seriously summer I'm waiting for you. Please come now!

OPI Purple-Opolis

One OPI collection I seem to be collecting a few polishes from is the Greek Isles Collection from 2004.

So far I have Melon of Troy, Dancing in the Isles, Aphrodites Pink Nightie, Greece Blue Me Away and Purple-Opolis. It's All Greek to Me and Don't Socra-tease are on my want want want list. I just havent found a decent excuse to order them yet! That whole saving to move into my new house thing...

Yesterday I was wearing Thrill of Brazil on my nails when dad came in and said he really didnt like the red. He seemed to think red was cheap and common looking. Admitably I did buy Thrill of Brazil for my toes.

I wasn't really feeling the red to begin with, but then dads comment just made my nails look worse.
So I took it off and got out Purple-Opolis. I don't think of it as a purple, maybe a red violet?

Purple-Opolis is a gorgeous shimmery bright purpley pinky violety redy...as you can tell I don't have the right word to describe the colour!

New Shoes

My gallaz were looking at bit old and not shiny new anymore. Well I have had them over a year now, and I do wear them alot!

So I was very happy to find some new shoes I can add to my collection and alternate with my Gallaz, because I do love them.

I ordered these snazzy Levi's that arrived today.


I did want the pink ones...but they were all sold out in my size, so I grabbed the denim ones fast!
They're very comfy and fit perfectly. I love shoes that actually come in half sizes. 8 is always too small and 9 is always too big. 8 1/2 how ever is just right!

New NYX Round Lipsticks...

Although my current obsession is growing my nail polish stash, I still found time to order a few NYX goodies.
I ordered six round lippies, three of which are for my mums christmas, three lips spas and a cute cupcake lip gloss set for a friend.

The package arrived in record time, but my lip spas were missing. I emailed, but still haven't heard back. The lip spas were the whole reason I ordered in the first place. I love lip spas. Just the right amount of colour and all the yummy goodness I want on my lips.

On to lipsticks! I ordered Metis, Almost Black, Raisin, Saturn, Peach and Hebe, to replace the one mum stole! Raisin, Saturn and Peach are for mums Christmas, shes stolen my peach a few times!

Metis, Saturn, Raisin and Almost Black

Metis: Shimmery warm gold. I really only this and almost black for costume make up.I'd never wear it for an every day occassion! Though it does remind me of my Mega Shine Lip Gloss Vanilla.
Almost Black: Ooohhhhh! I want an excuse to wear this. When I was trying it out it I noticed it made my eyes look so blue. It's a pity I'm dressing as Snow White for Halloween.

Lucky, lucky me!

Today I had a nice suprise and recieved an awesome box of polish I had ordered.
It was perfect, because we were getting ready to go visit dad in the hospital after his operation.
I really needed a pick me up!

His operation went fantastically. Sitting in hospital rooms for hours on end didn't go so well though.
Especially with mums broken foot.

Lucky, lucky lavender: I bought this thinking it was more of a pale pink than a purple lavender tinge. It was a pale pink, but it did have a lavender tone.


Venus Di Violet: A pale sheer lilac with pretty pinky/purple sheen that shimmers in the sunlight. Its such a pretty colour.

Got a Date To-Knight: Brighter and thicker than Heart Throb. I think I like Heart Throb better, but I did need it for the princess collection! I'm not sure when I'll wear it...but I'm sure I'll find some time!

Calendar Girl: I really really wanted this colour and I'm so glad I bought it. It's a pretty dark bright red pink with shimmer. Ha! hows that for bad adjectives. Its pretty thin, but I'm happy with it after 3 coats and it has a pretty blue flash.

Peach-a-boo: Pretty sparkly sheer peach that shimmers pink. Another one I really wanted. This reminds me of Princesses Rule, except in peach. It looks very nice layered over Chapel of Love.

OPI...yes another order.

When I feel a bt blah I generally turn to my credit card. Yes It's a very bad habit, I'm trying to break it. It's just not so easy when I know my credit card number off by heart.

Dad was supposed to go in for his operation, to remove prostrate cancer, on Friday. It got postponed on Thursday afternoon. I was feeling a bit blah and reached for my credit card and ordered some delicious new OPI's.

I ordered Shim-merry Chic, Brisbane Bronze, Your Royal Shyness, Chocolate Shake-speare and Thrill of Brazil.

I had Shim-Merry Chic in mini size, but I really wanted the full size. I know some people hate it, others love it. I'm not sure I love it, but I do like it. I can see myself wearing it at Christmas time.

Shim-merry Chic
Your Royal Shyness was the last polish I needed to complete the Princess Collection. It was the one I was not sure I needed. I'm so glad I bought it, because I love it. Its such a soft pearly very very pale pink. It's almost white. It's such a pretty colour and finish.

Your Royal Shyness
I love Brisbane Bronze. It's an amazing bronzey colour that comes alive and dances about in the sunlight.

Brisbane Bronze
I've been feeling rather into browns lately. So Chocolate Shake-speare was perfect. It's a tad thick, but wow it's an amazing colour. It's gorgeous, I'm in love. It's exactly what I wanted.


Chocolate Shake-speare
Thrill of Brazil is a red. It's a true red. It doesnt have really have pinky undertones. It's a red red.
