Nail - What? NAIL MAIL!

   There's nothing more exciting than checking the mailbox or receiving an "on board with driver" notification, or better yet, answering the door with the mail man right there delivering your precious cargo :D

   I've had a lot of polish come in in the past couple of months, so I thought I'd share with you all my spoils (or at least all that I can remember)!

   Guess we'll start with the most recent. So the fairytale starts off with a conversation on Instagram about how I wanted polish in the US and she wanted indies from Australia. Over a course of ...I don't know ...6 months or so, and 3 to 4 boxes sent each, we've finally succeeded in our nail swap and are now swimming in our polishes :P It took us a while, but we got there in the end! And well worth the wait! Shout out to Jennifer (Jennibert's Nails / IG @jennibert) for being such an awesome swap buddy :D

   First two swap packages from Jennifer included a range of Butter Londons, China Glazes, Zoyas, an Orly and Ultas. Also pictured, is my Emily De Molly order that arrived on the same day :D *jumps for joy*

   The third box from Jennifer did the impossible - it topped the first two boxes -  it squashed some pretty huge lemmings - yes, YOU, China Glaze Frostbite and Color Club Eternal Beauty!! In the huge box, amongst all the polish was a China Glaze shot glass and nommies that left me craving for more!! Anyone know if we can get those Flamin Hot Cheetos here in Australia?! SO GOOD! 

   I couldn't resist, I had to try some of these on immediately.. and since I have two hands, why not different polish on each?! :P

Left hand: 2 coats of China Glaze Frostbite with China Glaze Prism on the accent

Right hand: 2 coats of Color Club Wink Wink Twinkle with Butter London Lovely Jubbly on the accent

   And now for my Zoyas.. ALL THE ZOYAS!! Aurora and Blaze were my first Zoyas, and when it came time to ordering more... I went a little crazy :P

   There are a couple of doubles such as Sookie and Charisma - but they're for my mum, she ordered them to gift away (: But the rest are all mineeeeeee *evil laugh*

   I've yet to swatch them all, but when I did try Dahlia, boy was I blown away. I don't usually like textures, I always put a top coat on to make it nice and shiny and smooth, but wearing Dahlia felt like I was wearing unpolished black diamonds (or something along those lines) on my nails. Definitely was shoving them in peoples faces, and demanding them to cop a feel :P

   And that brings us to the end of my polish haul. I've bought bottles of pretty polish at the drugstore too, but never took a picture of them all collectively. One special mention though, I got Essie Mint Candy Apple and Marshmallow from Priceline and I'm really excited to try them! :D

   Now, I think maybe it's time for a no - buy (or low - buy :P) until Christmas? 

Little bit of this, little bit of that.

   I promised you all cherries didn't I? So here they are:

   This is two coats of China Glaze It's a Trap-eze! over Revlon Lily, with the thumb Cherries accent nail. Pretty darn random but the awesomeness of the CG makes up for it! If unicorns existed and it were to puke on my nails.. this is what it would look like... absolutely stunning! 

A little later in the day, I took my cherry nail off and replaced it with the CG and topped it with Pochacco and Choppy! (Even after painting my nails, I still wanted to re-paint my nails.. haha you think I have a problem?) 

   I have another treat for you guys! And no I didn't repaint my nails a third time! Any other night and I would've been painting my nails right about now, but it's such a waste to wear such a lovely polish for only a few hours, so instead I preoccupied myself with finishing my first nail art wheel!

  This is just an amalgamation of all my past designs, the top half being the most recent designs. My second wheel will be more focused on gradients, ikat and floral designs. It's about a quarter way done, but I'll be sure to post it soon as well :D

  I have more news! Christmas came early this year.. I got amazing nail mail the other day!

   The top half is from my secret santa Natalia (from cats-n-nails) and the bottom half is my nail swap with Tina from California! Such awesome pretty polishesssss ^_^ the highlights include OPI Nothin' Mousie Bout It (it has pink glitter hearts in it OMG!), China Glaze It's a Trap-eze! and the Color Club Holos Cherubic and Angel Kiss. So excited to try them all!
