I told you it was taking me ages to get through the new Gellies! I really felt like Dragon Fruit required maximum sunshine due to some beautiful hidden shimmer in it… hopefully it comes across a little in the photos. Dragon Fruit is one of Barry M’s Spring 2013 releases and wow is it springy! The latest Gelly releases include Green Berry, Lychee, Dragon Fruit and Papaya.

This one is my favourite alongside Green Berry, but this is the most ‘gel-like’ Gelly Nail Paint I have tried – I have them all so have worn them all at various points! It’s also the polish I got the most compliments on – one of my colleagues asked me if they were my real nails because she thought they looked like acrylics or gels and I’ve also worn this polish at least 3 times so far, which is pretty good going for me! I keep getting tempted to wear it again but I have to tell myself that I have several hundred ‘unblogged’ polishes waiting for their time in the limelight sooo…

I know, I know… it’s already near the end of March and I’ve only just got this up – whoops! I am extremely busy at work, I am just about to be promoted to Team Leader (yay!) which will possibly take up even more of my time so I need to find a way round pleasing my work time, my blog time and of course my personal life, all at once.

So here is part 2 of my February haul… this part is the ‘salon haul’ I mentioned in part 1 – a lovely lady who was closing down her beauty business kindly allowed me to buy all the following polishes from her for a total of £80, which considering the RRP of most of these polishes and the fact that most of them are barely used, is an incredible bargain! I am so grateful 🙂

Oh dear… I thought my January Haul was bad…!! I have decided to split this into two posts as I was extremely lucky last month – a  lady who was closing up her beauty business was selling all her OPIs and China Glazes, and she ever so kindly let me have them for an absolute steal… anyway, more on that in part 2! In this post are the polishes I bought individually throughout the month. There are a couple that I actually ordered in January but which didn’t arrive until February so I included them here. 🙂

As of 1st July 2013 we will no longer be able to use Google Reader to view updates from our favourite blogs. I, for one, am sad about this – I love having my little Google Reader widget in the top right of my Chrome window! Anyways, since it’s going, I thought I should mention the other ways in which you can follow me. I don’t have Google Friend Connect any more, but I don’t know how many people have subscribed to my RSS feed and use Google Reader to view it. So here is a list of all the ways you can follow me! All of them can be found either in the header of my site or in the sidebar, under the social networking icons.

Here are some feed reader platforms you can use as an alternative to Google Reader:

• Bloglovin’
• Hellocotton

And here are all the social networking platforms you can find me on!

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Pinterest
• Google + (I haven’t been very good at updating this but will make an effort from now on!)
• YouTube (an adventure yet to be explored but hopefully I will be starting YouTube videos in the very near future!)

Feel free to leave me your blog links so I can follow you back 🙂

Rimmel recently released three gorgeous new ‘Cocktail Colour’ nail polishes, all of which are glassfleck-shimmers, in purple (Baby Bellini), pink (Hawaiian Punch) and orange (Shirley Temple). These are all STUNNING, although I warn you, you really really need a topcoat to realise the polish’s full potential!
