Portuguese Treasures!

My work buddy came back from holiday this week and she brought me a treasure trove of nail polishes back from Tenerife - I just wanted to quickly show the best ever nail polish bottle design! :) The brand is marked as FCC, never heard of it, but just look at that bottle!!




Also, my stuff arrived today from Chagrin Valley Soaps! The parcel is currently busy wafting luscious soap scents around my office, and I can't WAIT to try everything tomorrow!! :)

New OPI Designer Series Colours!

I am soooo excited - I have ordered my OPI DS "Extravagance" from my seller on ebay. Hopefully it will be here soon... :)

Weekend Activities...

Nfu-Oh #45 and Palmaria palmata seaweed

And my first vegetables of the year :)

Nfu-Oh Bonanza Part 1

I went a little overboard and did quite a bit of layering and swatching for my Nfu-Ohs. First for a bit of layering over black.

From left: #45, #49, #53, #56 and #59

These are the Nfu-Oh colours layered over other colours (1 layer each):

From left:

6: #53 over Barry M 292 (a true dark navy shimmer)

7: #53 over Essie Aruba Blue (a bright blue shimmer)

8: #49 over Rimmel 60 sec 829 Big Night Out (a metallic dark peach)

9: #56 over Nails Inc. Ascot (a dark forest green shimmer)

10: #59 over Barry M 273 (a vampy dark cerise creme)

The first colour I tried on my nails was the fiery #45, I think it is an absolute stunner. Application is a bit goopy, but it does dry quite quickly. But I admit to dabbing the brush to deposit some glitter flakes on a few nails.. Below is the pic of it (1 coat Seche Clear, 2 coats #45, 1 coat Seche Vite; tropical aquarium lighting). I must have taken about 20 pics of this, but nothing I did will ever capture the sparkly and glowing goodness of this polish! This is the best one.

I will post more swatches of these amazing polishes during the coming week. I am trying not to display such nail polish attention deficit syndrome but I am sooo keen to try them all!! :)

The Nfu-Oh's are here!!

My Nfu-Oh's have arrived!! A bit of a mixed bag - and some unexpected colours. I was told #53 was sold out, but I got it. I also got a mysterious #59, even though I ordered #60?? But they are all gorgeous so I don't mind :)

From left to right: #45, #49, #56, #59 and #53 (with flash)

#59 isn't as red as it looks here, for some reason, it looks more red in the photos than the berry-burgundy it is on quickly swatched nail wheels. #45 is awesome, a total raging fire of a nail polish!!

I will swatch these as soon as I can, and share some pictures of nail wheels with different colours layered underneath. Currently I know that black is the favourite for layering these but I'm going to try and match up some of my other colours for layering underneath just for something different :)

AWESOME!!

I've been meaning to post this forever, I don't want anyone to miss the AWESOME Nfu-Oh swatches by Rocketqueen, this one will blow your mind...

Nail-Of-The-Day #2

This is one of my favourite nail combos - 2 coats of OPI "Purple with a purpose" with a coat of Mavala "Capella". Its one of those hard to photograph polishes with big flaky glitter. It moves from purple to pink through to a metallic beetle green, it's very pretty :)
