Anyway I hope to be posting a lot more now, I know I've been pretty rubbish at posting all year but as you can imagine it's been busy ! I may be a bit slow on posting next week because my grandads come to stay with us and I'm want to spend lots of time with him : )

SWAP WITH IVANA & AN APOLOGY

WELCOME to all my new followers I hope you stick around and enjoy my blog : )


Sorry my posts have been a bit irregular recently, but my cat is ill and so we've been busy with him, this 1st bit is all cat related so skip ahead if you don't want to read it .




This is our cat, Skippy, he really is the best cat, he has never scratched or bitten any of us and he even cleans his paws on the mat before coming into the house ! Anyway a couple of weeks ago he went missing and no one had seen him, (we've had him for about 6 yrs and he's never disappeared for more than 3 days ) after about a week and a half we were getting really worried, but then one day when I entered the drive I saw him there coming towards me lookin surprisingly skinny but I was so happy to see him I didn't pay much attention, then he came into the house and it was only then when I was stroking him I noticed his tail, it was swollen and brushing the floor, he couldn't lift his tail and just sat in one room, so the day after we took him to the vets and it turned out he'd been hit by a car and just left there, so he wasn't able to come back home, and as a result he'd lost all sensation in his tail and they were going to have to cut it, they had him under observation in the hope he would recover but no he didn't so they had to shave half his fur and cut off most of his tail.
He's still at the vets having injections and medicine and hopefully his fur should grow back quickly but it's soo sad, I know these things happen all the time but this cat is another member of our family, he was always there when we went through some really hard times, and even when we had to leave him for a few days and couldn't feed him when we came back he was always there even when we couldn't be for him, so the thought that anything could happen to him really upset me but like my mum said I should be grateful he wasn't hit anywhere else and he's still with us !

Anyway now I've got that off my chest let's talk nails, there's nothing like nail mail to cheer you up, especially when it's super super early and your not expecting it !


Anyway, I've really been dying to get my hands on some essence polishes, It's soo ridiculous they aren't available in the uk : (  Anyway I knew Ivana wanted a china glaze polish I could get for her and we agreed to swap, and I think this was back in November? loll A long time ago but we both had delays but anyway we finally managed to get our parcels out and I got mine yesterday and I wasn't expecting it until Friday !


Anyway here's what she sent me  ! : )

Essence colour and go - got a secret, blue addicted, lime up 

Essence nail art twins - chuck, bella, edward

look at the gorgeous sparkles in edward ! *drool*

essence nail art magnetics, vampires love- the dawn is broken, waking up in vegas topcoat 

essence - high waist pink, piggy polish - confetti ! 

Oh and I also got an essence gel liner in black, I've tried it and it is amazing !!! : ) 

I've already worn 3 of these colours as full mani's so will have those pictures up for you soon and in the meantime if you want to see any polish in particular leave a comment : )

SWAP WITH NINA : )

eh oh ladies, are you all ok, I'm so sorry that i've disappeared ladies, i've been feeling really stressed and tired this week, well it started last sunday, i drunk 4 cups of coffee by midnight and couldn't sleep till 3, then the next morning i woke up at 7.30 i was ok in the morning and then the caffeine started to wear off and i was soo tired i honestly struggled to keep my eyes awake, but then i got home had more coffee and the whole thing repeated itself again and again and again, so i've been feeling a big urghhh but i got something in the post this morning that turned my whole week around : ) 

I contacted Nina from Women's Temptations (who has the most beautiful nails !) asking if she'd swap for some golden rose flakies, but they weren't available, so anyway this turned into a haul with lots of holos ! and a couple of flakies 

i haven't got the bottles nearby right now so i'll have to edit in the names later, but i think you can see 5 gorgeous catherine arley holo's ! inglot flakies 203 + 204 ! and GOSH HOLOGRAPHIC aaarrggh !! can you believe i finally got my hands on this, and this was the last bottle in Bulgaria, : ) !!! there's no sun right now so i didn't put on the Gosh straight away, i'm waiting for the sun to show to swatch it (yep, could be next yr now loll) 

THANKYOUU SOOO MUCH NINA, i love every single one of these and you really have spoilt me here loll : )

ORLY - FOWL PLAY

i was sooo excited to receive this polish and so i have a swatch for you 


this was 3 coats, and no topcoat 

sooo many bottle shots , but this is a true beauty which deserves and needs so many pictures, you can see a quite a bit of the green in the flakies in the bottle but it's not quite so clear on the nail but you can slightly see it in some of the pics above

and also let me know if you want to see a comparison between this and merry midnight (as i have it now ; )  i'm sure you'll have seen loads of comparisons already but if you want me to do one please let me know
