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. 🙂

B.: Sea Foam, Quartz, Woodland. £4.99 each in Superdrug, and cruelty-free! Read More »

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!

As I said in my review of Barry M Green Berry, it is taking me AGES to work through the new Barry M releases but I’m getting there! I have ‘Lychee’ to show you today, which is part of the four new Gelly Nail Paints released by Barry M, in the colours Green Berry, Lychee, Papaya and Dragonfruit as part of their Spring 2013 collection.

Now, I’m not usually one for nude nails, but sometimes it is nice to just take a break from all the brights and darks and glitters and various shades of polish, and just have nice, clean looking nude nails. I probably wear nude polish once every blue moon but I think when I feel the need, Lychee will probably my new go-to nude! I also have some heels from Asda which are identical in colour and finish!

I have managed to avoid indies for the longest of times… I have not looked too closely at them as I have known that as soon as I do, that is the end of my bank balance! Anyway, Sarah from Chalkboard Nails posted a review of Happy Hands’ new Faint of Heart Collection, and let me just say, that was the end of my half-closed eyes!! I immediately fell for ‘Metal Heart’ and within the hour had placed an order for it from the Happy Hands shop, because we all know indies go out of stock as soon as look at them.

Prepare yourselves (and your purses!).
