Recent Ebay and shopping haul!

My "Happy Grey" konadicure is still looking great (the first time my mani has lasted 3 days, wow!), so I decided to wait until tomorrow to make a new mani. Until then, I figured I could show you what I've gotten in the mail and bought on my shopping trip the past week!

First, OPI Ebay haul ~ from the new Burlesque collection!

Show It & Glow It, Shimmer & Shimmer, Sparkle-iscious & Teasey Does It

I also ordered this green beauty ~

Here Today.. Aragon Tomorrow (suede)

And this glitter I have been lemming for quite a while! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

OPI Mad As A Hatter ♥

Close-up of the sparkly goodness that is truly mad as the hatter! ♥

And here is a comparison shot to Sparkle-iscious. MAAH is more grey/silvery with more colours in it, whereas Sparkle is more golden.

On my shopping trip I found the following polishes ~

Cheap no-name polish in beautiful colours!

The dark blue looks sheer.. Can't wait to try 'em out!

Who says anonymous polishes aren't gorgeous!

Two polishes from H&M and a cheap brand called Trend ~

No Mambo Jambo, Happy Grey & noname Trend polish

No Mambo Jambo deserves a close-up to show it's shimmer!

I also found GOSH polishes on sale!

Rainbow goodness! All were reduced to half price, I think they're discontinued

And last, I was pretty excited to find the brand Pieces in some amazing colours!

Ms. Jagger Green, Kryptonite, Soul Petrol & Plum Gum (ew on the name, LOL)

I've wanted colours like Kryptonite, Soul Petrol and Plum Gum for ages! And I never turn down a creme turquoise, LOL!

Sorry if I drowned you in pictures! Kudos if you made it to the end ;)

Give-away when I hit 25 followers!

I really appreciate those who follow my blog, a big thank you for reading my posts, watching my manicures, and for your comments ♥ That is why I have decided I will make a give-away when I hit 50 25 followers! (if I reach 50 followers within the timeframe of the give-away, I have a very neat 2nd prize ready).

It wouldn't be much of a post without showing you the prizes I've found so far, would it? ;)

I want to share one of my favourite polishes of all time - which is also the one that got me to admit that polishing my nails were more than just a regular habit, LOL! That nail polish also happens to be a gorgeous flake polish - and said to be much like Nfu-Oh's famous polishes!

GOSH Rainbow! And along with it, I stumbled upon a black effect polish, which is not being sold in the stores anymore. They make a cute couple, I think ♥

GOSH Bright Passion and Rainbow

Here's swatches over blank and black bases ~

I might add more prizes along the way!

That's all for now!

OPI + Katy Perry = new glitters!!

OPI made a video showing the upcoming Katy Perry and Serena Williams collections - here's a link if you haven't seen it yet! I was holding my breath while watching... 

This is what caught my fancy!

NEW GLITTERS!! Yay ♥ I think they look holo, but there's no way to be sure for now. They are, under all circumstances, going to be part of my collection. 

Just had to share the exciting news! Check out the video if you want to see the Serena Williams set, the new shatter polish and the rest of the Katy Perry collection.

It's cloudy outside..

As it is on my nails! I decided to make a quick konadicure tonight while watching Simpsons. Admitted, I am exhausted from work and a very nice trip I went on afterwards with my mom. We went shopping in a town nearby and they had LOADS of nail polish goodness. I bought like 18 bottles or something! Will post pics soon ;)

One of my finds were a H&M colour called Happy Grey - I bought the two other one released together with it, Happy Purple and Happy Pink, and when I got back to the store nearby to pick up the last, Happy Grey was sold out. Bummer. But the H&M in the other town had just one left, yay! So of course I picked it up. Felt like polish fate LOL. Grey Sky has a subtle shimmer, not visible in the bottle but on the nail you can just make it out. Sadly, my pics weren't good enough to show it.

Happy Grey brings me to today's mani - I used Konad plates M3 and M79 to add some clouds and stars to the grey sky.

Excuse the bad pictures, my fingers looks yellow/red spotty, and the blurryness is my own sloppyness. I'll do better next time!

*edit to add* Come to think of it, this colour is pretty close to the Deborah Lippmann colour Lady Gaga wears on the cover of Vanity Fair. Maybe that's why it sold out so quick?

That's everything I have for you today. I think i will spend the rest of this cold, wet and cloudy Monday under a blanket with a cup of hot chocoa!
