All That Glitters: Dotties

I'm still hard at work getting reports done.

When I say reports I don't mean a single A4 page for each child. I mean around 25 A4 pages for each child, including full pages of text, photos, scans of work and graphs showing exactly where each child is at. It's a lot of work. Especially when you have 27 children to teach.

Our new kitty Bumble Bee has been with us a week now. She has a vet appointment this afternoon, just to have a check up. Did you know it costs more to take her to the vet than for me to see the doctor? Crazy.

Anyway on to polish! I have quite the indie polish obsession, especially glitter top coats. Of course I needed the Light and Dark Spotty Dotties from All That Glitters.

I love combining the two Spotty Dotties. they look amazing layered over each other. One of my favourite combos is wearing the two over a browny taupe.

And I better head to work now! children to teach and all... lets hope they are calmer than yesterday. they had a half day yesterday due to Teachers Union meetings and were high as kites.

Happy Spring: All That Glitters Princess Polish!!!

Well it's now September... That means it's Spring!

I got a super awesome parcel on Saturday and can't wait to show everyone what was in it...
So you get two posts tonight!

As you can probably guess from the title of my post I received the bottles of polish I ordered from All That Glitters princess polishes.

I was very restrained and only ordered three polishes...but when she opens back up next week I am so buying the remaining four.

Book Smart Beauty (Belle), Fins for Feet (Ariel), Not a Prize to be Won (Jasmine)

As soon as I saw these I knew I needed Belle's polish. if I was a Disney Princess I'd be belle with blue eyes... Unfortunately mum and Nick vetoed playing Tale As Old As Time as a wedding song... Something about implying Nick was the Beast...?

As for Ariel and Jasmine... I had to have them for the colours... and they totally fall in as my next favourite princesses. (Oddly enough Snow White is my fave princess to dress up as though)

2 coats Not a Prize to be Won, 2 coats Fins for feet and 3 coats Book Smart Beauty.

As you can see these polishes can be worn alone... But I plan to use them as layering polishes.

How I could I resist making one of these gorgeous polishes my full mani. I settled on Fins for feet to match my clothes for tomorrow (Yeah I was tidying up so I got my clothes sussed already).

I used 1 coat of aEngland Gallahad (perfect base colour) and 1 coat of Fins for Feet... Yes that's right 1 coat! I am in love with this combination!

And lastely here's a little shot of Spring from our house. I love blossom :)

Lush Lacquer and a Black and White Comparison

I'm actually trying something new and typing this from an iPad.

The teachers at school were issued iPads to get used to using. The idea is we'll be able to use them as a teaching tool. So far I'm loving some of the math and spelling apps.

Anyway on to polish!

A wee while ago I posted my massive Lush Lacquers swatch post, unfortunately I didn't get my swatches of Middnight Affair or Salt n Peppa up.

I haven't worked out how to add captions to my pictures on here.

When I get back on my HP Mini I'll fix up this post and put the captions right!
