Barry M Spring Launches – Press Release!

I received a very exciting email this morning from Barry M, with all the amazing new products set to be released this February! It’s been a little while since their last release: the Jewel Glitter collection back in September. I can promise you won’t be disappointed by the new products though! There are 4 main ‘categories’ of products being released. These are the Lash Vegas Mascara, 3 new Gel Eyeliners, 4 new Gelly Nail Paints and 4 new Textured Nail Paints!

Carry on reading for more information on each of these products! 🙂 Read More »

China Glaze It’s A Trap-eze!

Something has taken over my ability to limit my spending this month… maybe it’s the amazing new collections coming out every other week! I’ve ‘accidentally’ bought 5 Butter Londons, 3 China Glazes, 3 OPIs, 7 Illamasquas since the beginning of January and I’m not convinced that’s the end, either!

Anyway, since I am now inundated with amazing polishes, I’d better get on with showing you them! Here is China Glaze It’s A Trap-eze! – a gorgeous white jelly containing blue, pink, yellow, green, silver, orange and purple glitter… it’s like the topping on a cupcake 🙂

Butter London Swinger

Hello all, another Butter London today! I got this one off eBay – I’m pretty sure it’s US-exclusive so to all you UK ladies it’s best to search on eBay.com or wait for it to pop up on the UK site, or maybe even Amazon! It cost me £9 including delivery which I just could not resist!

Swinger is the most gorgeous grass green glitter I’ve seen – it comes across a little yellow-toned in the photos but in person it is purest lime green!

Butter London Shambolic

Today I’m at home watching the beautiful snow outside my window 🙂 I should technically be at work – I made a pretty gallant attempt at cycling in but it got to the point where I couldn’t see because the snow was in my eyes and one of my eyebrows had smudged right down to my eyelid so I decided it was definitely too dangerous to go into work (for me and the customers – no-one needs to see that! Haha)

I saw Butter London Shambolic first on Scrangie’s blog, but didn’t really feel the need for it until I saw this Flickr photo – I fell in love. The trouble then was that you can’t actually buy Shambolic on it’s own, it’s only available as part of the Butter London Holiday gift set (which was what I ended up buying from lookfantastic.com for just £23!) or as part of a Holiday Lips & Tips gift set. Anyway, it was part of the Butter London Holiday 2012 Collection – a set of 4 glitters and 2 shimmers.

Models Own Southern Lights

Hi everyone! I am SO excited to be back blogging! I feel it’s only fair to let you know what stopped me from blogging between November 24th and today. First of all, my laptop broke so there was physically no way for me to edit my photos – I borrowed Andy’s iPad for the month of December but couldn’t work out how to edit photos on it. This was resolved in January, when I bought a brand spanking new Acer laptop, which should have been the end of my problems. Next, we discovered there was a connection issue with my laptop, largely due to it only having out-of-date network drivers, so that took a good few days to fix. I then installed the latest update for WordPress, and something happened to my entire blog where the permalinks were all wrong and I couldn’t upload or edit any of my posts, which again would have been easily fixed but for the fact that when I changed my hosting package over, they put me on a new server but never sent across the login details so we couldn’t access my cPanel. Anyway, the whole thing took a good 2 weeks to fix but thanks to the hard work of Andy, Andy’s business partner and the people at 600host, Imagination in Colour is finally fixed!! I have so many images for so many blogposts it’s unreal… Look forward to lots of blogposts over the next few weeks! I’ve also added a little favicon (the flower you can see at the left of the tab for my page) for my site as well and will be working on a new logo!

Also a quick mention for my giveaway on Facebook – it was my 2 year bloggiversary on 13th January so in light of my blog’s problems I set up a giveaway on Facebook. All you have to do to enter is SHARE this photo! The prizes are: Fearne Perfectly Polished gift set, Barry M Aqua Glitter, GOSH Holographic Hero and Barry M Amethyst. The winner will be announced on Sunday 27th January.

Today I have Models Own Southern Lights to show you, released in October 2012 as part of the Models Own Wonderland Collection. All of the polishes are so pretty but I only chose two, you’ll have to wait for another post to find out which one 😉
