Perfect Chic #310

Just a little post today. Starting the blog up again after a month off has proven harder than anticipated, what with work and everything :/ Blargh. Let's not talk about my *&^% day job, shall we?

So anyway, here's another one of the gorgeous polishes Inbal sent me as part of the Xmas Bloggers Exchange - a beautiful glossy cranberry creme...


Unfortunately there was no sun today, so no photos in that light, sorry. But this was two coats and one of Poshe. Very easy application.


This is actually the second time I've worn this, and for some reason this time it was quite chippy. Maybe it didn't like the base coat I was using or something - weird...

But in any case, true to it's name it was Perfect the first time I tried it! :)


Thanks so much Inbal - I love it!!

Perfect Chic #53, Wixxy Franken

Howdy y'all!
I thought I'd post some off-the-cuff pics of one of the beautiful polishes Inbal sent me for Xmas.
#53 is the perfect glossy baby blue. Even my Nanna, who said in her day there were only two types of polish acceptable - red or nude - loves this.
(Sorry bout the cuticles - my hands are going through the "peeling off all the damaged skin" stage of recovery after the allergic reaction over Xmas)

Ha! I just realised you can see the tiny spot of hair dye that made it onto my pinkie nail :P

This is 3 coats plus a layer of Poshe. Application is really good, but you'll definitely need the 3 coats to get bottle colour.

These pics are from the third day I've worn it - some minimal tip creep but otherwise very nice staying power, too :D
Thanks Inbal!

Now, all attempts to photograph one of the frankens Wixbetty sent me so far have failed. They look fine when I take the pics, then when I get them on the computer they're all out of focus! Very frustrating. So this is the only pic I've been able to salvage so far, done pre-cleanup so please excuse the messy application...

My hands still looks like lobsters from the allergy! But nothing was going to stop me wearing this baby! EDIT* I should point out that the allergy was from a BYS polish I wore over Xmas, not the franken!*

I put on one layer of Color Club's Sexy Siren as a base, then 3 coats of "Happy Birfday" (as Wixxy calls it) over the top. It's cr-azay! Hopefully I'll have better luck with it's sister polish next...

I'm getting towards the end of my holiday. Starting to feel sad and apprehensive about going back to work again :( I really have to look for another casual/part time job when I get back. Doing what, I don't know.

Mum and Dad have me going through all the stuff I left behind to see what I want either chucked out, given to charity or sent on to Melbourne. Again it's quite sad, but hey - I'm a grown up now. I'm sending quite alot of stuff back home, but I have no idea where I'm going to put it all. As a little girl I thought when I grew up I'd go live in a warehouse like Jennifer Beals in "Flashdance" or Janet Jackson. If I lived in a warehouse I wouldn't have this problem!

Of course, the heating and cooling bills may be rather excessive in a place like that :D But look at all the room you have to DANCE!
