NOPI: Kardashian Kolors Holiday 2012

Still no birthday nails... I may save them for Saturday, for my postponed birthday day.
Nick has said I'm allowed to go and buy something technological for my birthday on Saturday... He doesn't know about the shoes I ordered from Hannahs...What can I say? I shop when I'm sad. I'm an addict.
(NZ girls seriously check out the Hannahs website and their sales section. It's buy one get one half price with free shipping over $50. I got 6 pairs of shoes for $75)

Anyway here are some Christmas polishes. Christmas polish makes everyone happy! I've actually had these polishes since early November. In fact I wore A Gold Winters Night to Nicks Christmas function on the 5th of November.

NOPI: Kardashian Kolors

I'm a little late to the scene with these awesome glitters...but here are my picks from the Kardashian Kolors collection.


Follow Me On Glitter
Embarrassing fact...I only just got that name. I honestly had no idea what it meant. Yeah...social media is not one of my strengths.


Wear Something Spar-Kylie
I actually think I love this polish more than Excuse Moi! It's the same base without the extra rainbow glitters.
The lack of the rainbow glitter makes it so much sweeter and so girly.


Kendall on the Katwalk
I love this mix of glitters. Teal, blue and purple, but mostly blue. Very pretty, very sparkly and I'm very much in love.

I also purchased Disco Dolls a highly awesome gold glitter, which I'm deeply in love with as well. I just seem to have misplaced my photos.

New Hair

While I'm holidign on the phone waiting for the insurance people to answer, I may as well post my new hair.
I didn't get much taken off and just got a few layers and that growing out fringe blended into my hair as more of a side swept fringe. the coolest thing however is the colour.  My hairdresser is awesome she can interpret my 'ah I don't know' and find exactly the colours I'm after.


A lot more blonde. you can see the warm foils and the blonde, blonde foils.
While i'm still holding...Here's some pics of my nails yesterday. I felt myself immediatly drawn to Cult nails Always Winning as soon as I saw the bottle.

But then it started peeling so I gave it a healthy dose of OPI Navy Shatter.

Well I feel rather awful...darn this head cold that seems to be starting. I was healthy yesterday...Then yesterday night, BAM! Head cold.

Teaching 24 six year olds is not the easiest when all you want is peace and quiet. I'm sure 6 year olds don't know the real meaning of quiet! I have some who still can't talk in indoor voices. I actually asked one parent if their child had, had their hearing tested recently...apparently they had with an all clear :S

Anyway here's some old pictures of bright pretty polishes to cheer me up and get me out of the winter head cold doldrums. These are all Nicole by OPI.

I'm the Luckiest Girl in the World...

To have received these gorgeous  swap polishes.

Liz from Liquid Jelly sent me these beautiful polishes that had me jumping up and down and squealing excitably.


Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment
 This was the polish that started it all. The reason why we swapped...I just had to have Make a Comet-ment. It's such a pretty holo silver glitter. This was three coats and I loved it. It's also very suitable to wear as a touch of glitter topcoat. So sparkly and pretty.


Finger Paints Carnation Creation
 I love turquoise/aqua/teal shades. They are my absolute favourite colours. So of course I love Carnation Creation. This polish was a little thicker, but it did mean if you are careful you might get away with one coat. I used two.


Sephora by OPI Hell to the No
I was so excited when Liz said she would send me two Glee polishes. I love Hell to the No. I used three coats and the colour is absolutely gorgeous. The gold shimmer is just so pretty. I can't express how much I love it!

Liz was also kind enough to send me Who Let the Dorks Out which is another stunning polish from the Glee collection that I absolutely love. For some reason I can't seem to find my pictures. So I'll have to take some new ones when my nails grow out a little more again after their trim at the optometrists.

Small Haulies?

Well I'm sure I mentioned that my last NYX parcel arrived, but I never got round to posting pics. My Serena Williams sets also arrived and I was naughty and bought a polish at Farmers yesterday. I try to avoid buying from Farmers unless things are on special...but this polish was an exception.

So onward...

My last NYX parcel included 10 nail polishes and one Black Label Lipstick in Princess. I haven't taken a picture of Princess yet, but here's the polish!

Dynamic Glitter, Grand Royale and Enchanted Forest
Rum Punch, Grape Fruit, Red Bean Slush and Collection Noir

Ink, Bermuda Triangle and Bubblegum
 And of course my awesome OPI Serena Williams sets. I bought one for mum as well, seeing as she loves crackle so much.

White Shatter, Spak de Triomphe, Red Shatter, Rally Pretty Pink
 And of course my absolute splurge polish. I actually ended up paying $30.95 for this...yes that's really bad lol. But look at it in the sunlight...pretty. Yes I know other people have found it disappointing, but I still really wanted it! Butter London No More Waity Katie.



Well yesterday I spent the day re-arranging my house...there isn't a room I didn't mess with. I've moved all my polish and a little table into the study to make a nail polish corner. Now I'm on the hunt for some big frames to put up my Serenity travel posters...

Have a fabulous rest of the weekend, while I, and everyone else in New Zealand begin Monday.

Another Massive Thank You!

Well Zumba almost killed me. I set it to easy and beginner workout...I swear I almost died. Ok so it wasn't Zumba's fault. Apparently I wasn't well enough to exercise. I should have known that after I couldn't finish my Biggest Loser challenge on Thursday. Anyway I managed to black out, twice. Had a good half hour of wanting to vomit and not being able to stand. Then I had a shower and still couldn't stand and kind of blacked out again. Apparently I still look rather white. So I have a doctors appointment tomorrow.

Anyway enough moaning on to my massive Thank You. I need to send the biggest Thank You ever to Liz from Liquid Jelly.

Look at the awesome swap polishes she sent me! Droool!

Finger Paints Carnation Creation and Easel-y Entertained, Wet n Wild How I Met Your Magenta and Night Prowl.

Sephora by OPI Hell to the No and Who Let the Dorks Out and Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment.
 Yes I squealed when I opened this parcel! I'm such a dork and watch way too many TV shows religiously. Glee is one of those shows...another is How I Met Your Mother. I mean come on I called my little pet mouse Ted just so I could say "Have you met Ted?". No points for guessing where my other mouse Barnabas got his name...

Do you see all the gorgeous sparkles she sent me! And such pretty colours. And they bounce! No seriously, as i was showing off the awesomeness of these polishes to my mum, I dropped not one...not two...but three bottles onto the kitchen floor from the bench. I cringed expecting a broken mess...but no! They bounced. No breaks here! I breathed a very heavy sigh of relief!

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.

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.
