New Year's NOTD: Body Shop "Starry Night"

I picked up this beauty in the sales, and decided it would be a fitting New Year manicure! Lets hope 2011 is as special, as sparkly and as magical like this nail polish :)

I had some application problems with this, it's a bit thick and stringy... But if you're not so fussy you would get away with one thick coat, but this is two thin coats and MegaShine top coat. It has a black base with sparkly silver glitter and flakies.

Well I am going to indulge in some coffee before I get geared up for the stroke of midnight!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

NOTD: Rimmel Play Fast "Art of Noise"

I've got a thing for the old American Rimmels - got a bit of a collection going... This is 3 coats of "Art of Noise", which is a bit like Zoya "Yasmeen" and Barielle "Secret Encounter". I love these polishes they all have an unbeatable shimmer and depth - if you can find them, get them!

Review: Tommyguns Jasmine & Wild Nettle Shampoo

So this is the shampoo + conditioner I've been trying for a couple of weeks. The smell of the shampoo is just divine... Not overpowering or perfumy, just a waft of the ultimate luxury scent of pure jasmine essential oil. Like having a shower in The Garden of Eden! :) The leave-in conditioner is tricky to get right, too much and it gives you sticky/crunchy hair. But it too smells lovely, almost a bit like bubblegum. I will probably get the Tommyguns Fig, Plum & Marshmallow conditioner and use the leave-in conditioner for extra treatment in winter.

These are sold in John Lewis stores as far as I know, but they can also be bought online. They are decently priced at £4.99 each.

Once you smell the Jasmine and Nettle Shampoo you will be hooked forever, as with MOP Pear Body Wash! :)

Sales finds!

Having a pitstop in Starbucks as I do a round of the January sales. And look what I found! For £3 each, they are a true bargain :) I am now away to tackle the rest of the shops aster the caffeine injection!

NOTD: China Glaze "Ingrid"

I got this polish in a swap. I loved it from the first swatch I saw, but it's a bit weird - it's a bit like Chanel "Particuliere" but with a gold shimmer :) Very cool! I kept thinking about swamp water when I applied it...

This is 2 coats with Sally Hansen MegaShine top coat. I've not got any other colours like this one.

I am gearing up for hitting the shops tomorrow for the sales... Lets hope it's not too busy!

Icy!

Recovering mentally from another water leak in my house, so I haven't done my nails for a week but I intend on doing them tonight after watching The Expendables but this is a cool pic of my rose bush after the thaw-n-freeze in the last few days! Pretty cool!

Merry Xmas!

In our house there are two days of xmas - xmas eve and xmas day! This is my little kitty in his new santa hat before he got his new giant catnip rat! :)
