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!

Thanks Inbal & Wixbetty!

Well I'm still on holidays, but I couldn't wait any longer to show you the pretties Inbal sent me for the Bloggers Xmas Exchange! I was a good girl and didn't open them until Christmas day, not like the rest of you cheaters! :)

Here they are sunning themselves in my parent's backyard -

I've actually worn the burgundy one and it's fantastic!
I just didn't take photos of it cos my cuticles are still having problems with the allergic reaction I got over Xmas (to my supposedly formaldehyde resin free BYS Kung Fu Blue).
I actually had to trot over to the doctor today to get some higher strength medication - it's just not clearing up fast enough this time. But rest assured, they are AWESOME! Thanks again, Inbal!

And then a couple of days ago these arrived from Wixbetty!




Her frankens of Lippmann's "Happy Birthday" just for me!!
So excited to try these - she gave me one with bar glitter and one without (click for bigger pics).
Yes, Monica - you are now exempt from a nutsacking :D
The rest of you, however...just wait till I get back from vacation...

In celebration of such haulage, there is only one way to party.

And that is with 80's rock.

Witness the stone cold WTF-ery that is "The Warrior" and tremble in your taffeta!

From what I can tell, it involves the be-mulleted weedy second cousin of Wolverine going on a murderous yet strangely lyrical rampage at a rooftop performance of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert".
You can just tell he's going to get his in a strangely anti-climactic jazz ballet-battle that involves an extraneous dance-lift that would make Sarah-Jessica Parker from "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" vomit up a sequined scrunchie in fury. Sigh. Soooo predictable...






I still think Maybelline's Mirror Image looks better on me than on him :)

PS - I should point out that although blog posts are few and far between at the mo with my holiday, I'm still Twittering quite a bit. Just click the little birdy to the right and you'll find me.
