Orly: Holiday Soiree

I'm a tad moody at the moment. My knee is really hurting me in the evenings. Nick sent me to bed at 7pm last night. Good thing school is almost over and then I'll be truly resting it. I might even have time to actually cook. That will be awesome!

Anyways Christmas isn't so far off, so here's another Christmas collection, Orly Holiday Soiree

Le Chateau

Androgynie

Oui!

Au Champagne

I only bought four polish of the six available. I just didn't need another red or Rally Pretty Pink/Faye look alike. I was a little worried that Oui! would be too close to OPI It's My Year, but I was pleasantly surprised. Oui! is much richer and more purple.

L'oreal Spam

7 days to go! no i'm totally not counting down...

I feel a little sorry for my kids...I'm actually still being a mean teacher. We're still doing work. Poor kids. so close to Christmas and they still have to do reading groups, writing and maths groups. Ok I'm not being totally mean...we're doing Christmas activities in the afternoons...I even let them on the netbooks.

Anyway here's some L'Oreal spam! i actually really love these L'Oreal polishes. The bottles are great, they always fit neatly into line. The brushes are awesome. Actually I need some more L'Oreal!

High Tide

Waters Edge

Ocean breeze

Luminescence

Femme Noir

Le Sangre

I really need to expand this collection! it's a pity all the L'Oreal polishes we get are in funny looking bottles and seem to be dark shades.

China Glaze: Let it Snow

There are now only 8 days left of the school year. we are getting closer and closer to Christmas!

So here's another Christmas collection. This time Let it Snow from China Glaze. I love China Glaze polishes and I love Christmas collections!

Holly-day

Velvet Bow

Poinsettia

Twinkling Lights

Tinsel Town

Champagne Bubbles

Blue Years Eve

Ring in the Red

Glittering Garland

I'm missing Winter Berry and Icicle. I just didn't need another silver foil or red.I do have Snow Globe. I ordered it separately and have not had time to swatch it yet. All in all I really like the Let it Snow collection. There's a bit of something for everyone. Some unique colours and some traditional staples. Addicts won't need every polish from the collection but I needed half of them!

Sinful Colors

July was not the best month for me. I was sick basically the whole month until just before my wedding. I just kept coming down with infections...throat, sinus, head cold... On one of my trips to the chemist to get prescriptions I felt so sorry for myself I needed to indulge is some nail therapy. Luckily the chemist I go to is the only one I have ever found Sinful Colors at.

Thimbleberry

I love this amazing coral polish. it's rather similar to Revlon Mock Snob...but I love wearing coral polish so i'm keeping both! It's slightly thick but still very manageable.

Dream On

Dream On is a gorgeous neon purple. i don't have another like it in my collection. very pretty and bright!

Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor is a pretty iridescent glitter in a clear base. Much better than OPI I Juggle...Men.

Pinky Glitter

Pinky Glitter is exactly what it says...pink glitter! Best for layering.

Butter London

Argh! Someone take my credit card off me... It had an accident with the Disney Store and I placed a second order of ornaments. My first order is currently hanging out in Botany, Australia. Does anyone else get a kick out of tracking packages... yeah I'm an odd one some days.

Today is my work Christmas function. They have this big thing about mystery trips and surprises. So I have no idea what we are doing or where we are going. I was promised there wouldn't be much walking. I had to check because of my knee. Not knowing what we are doing or where we are doing makes choosing an outfit hard. The dress code is 'smart casual'.

I'm trying to choose between these two dresses...

Warehouse Silk Blossom Print Ruffle Dress from asos

Day Dream Dress from Max

Obviously the Day Dream dress is more casual... and probably more appropriate. I can wear my flat sandals with it... but that silk dress from Warehouse is just so darn pretty. I have a pair of dainty sandals that are almost flat I could wear...

Decisions. Argh.

Anyway here are some gorgeous Butter London polishes. I bought Victoriana and West End Wonderland for nzsale and found No More Waity Katie at Farmers. I have serious issues spelling Katie after waity. I want to write kait...

Victoriana

I'd been hunting Victoriana for ages. Ever since I decided to by All Hail McQueen instead of Victoriana... To be honest it's pretty but I was kinda disappointed. It just didn't stand out.

West End Wonderland

Pretty gold glitter. Very Christmasy and very pretty. I used three coats.

No More Waity Katie

This is three coats alone. I think No More Waity Katie really needs to be layered. It's  pretty polish but doesn't quite work by itself. I think I'll try it with Zoya Caitlin.

Well there are some pretty polishes for today. It's now 8am so I need to get up and get pretty. The work function starts at 10am... yes bizarre time for a Christmas function. They just love to confuse us!

OPI: Muppets Glitters

Well I'm still feeling lousy, what with my knee and all, but Christmas glitters are most definitely something that cheers me up.

So today I have the second half of the Muppets collection...the glitters!

Excuse Moi!

Rainbow Connection

Gone Gonzo

Fresh Frog of Bel Air

Gettin' Miss Piggy With It

Divine Swine

I used three coats for all of these.

OPI: Muppets Reds and Neutrals

It's December! I just thought I'd point out the obvious... It is now December and therefor I may start posting holiday collections and decorate my tree...house...classroom.

Today I'm posting the OPI holiday offering...well the reds and neutrals from The Muppets collection. I really want to see The Muppets. I'll have to settle for the polishes until I've finished my reports and have some free time.

Animal-istic

Meep-meep-meep

Wocka, Wocka!

Pepe's Purple Passion

Warm and Fozzie

Designer de Better

Well everyone's already seen the Muppets collection before, so nothing new here. I will add that I think these are awesome Christmas colours.

I'm exhausted and in pain. We went to the zoo today. I hurt my knee. I'm kind of in pain but don't have any time to just sit and put my leg up... So anti-inflammatories and flat shoes are my friends.
