Damn you, blue screen of death!

Well, Happy Birthday to me.. my laptop decided that for my 40th birthday it would be give me the blue screen of death, and force me to reformat 3 times, losing all my photos etc.  Which means the photos I took yesterday of my awesome birthday nails are gone.  I have one phone pic that I can use ...

*ooh sparkly*

This is OPI DS Extravagance. There are no words.  Its simply stunning. 

And then this happened..

*sob*

So I have now had to nubbinize.  But, then these came in the mail..

*bling bling*

So I decided to have a play around with them and some striping tape, and nails now look like this..

*more bling bling!*

Then this morning I woke up to this card from my son..

*best birthday card ever*

So all in all, not a bad day so far (apart from the loss of all my nail pics).. lol

Giveaway winner and Christmas nails.

Hey all!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, hope you all had a great day!  Our was busy, but still quite relaxing as we ended up back at home for dinner with my Mum, so son got a chance to actually play with his toys on Christmas Day, which never usually happens.  He got completely spoilt, as did we all!  Here are a couple of the pressies hubby got me!

Love Thy Polish nail polishes.. they are all so awesome.

Wonder Woman handbag..  Wonder Womaaannnn.. your a wonder, Wondeeerr Woooommmmaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!!!!!  (Yes, I lurve Wonder Woman!  lol)

Portal earrings.. this is one of my favourite video games, even though it drives me completely crazy.. lol

I am a very happy lass!  :)

I would also like to announce the winner of my 50 followers giveaway.. it is *drumroll*   Teneil M!  Congratulations hun!  I have contacted Teneil, and will be sending her polishes out this coming week.  You can check out her awesome blog at Shades of Phoenix.  

Also welcome to all my newest followers.. I am now up to 100!  I can see another giveaway coming up soon.  :)

Oh and as some of you know, I also make jewellery.. I am having a sale at the moment to get rid of some stock.. 50% off everything in the 'For Sale' album on my Gypsys Creations facebook page..  check it out here!

 Now for some nails!  I went for something simple for my Christmas nails, but I was very happy with how they turned out and got quite a few compliments on them.

Polish used is EmilyDeMollys Path To Glory.. look at the holo-y gorgeousness!!  I was so pleased to get this from my Secret Santa as I had been wanting it forever!  Then I used Scotch tape and striping tape to make the tree.. I think I used a Zoya polish for the tree, then just a layer of Fairy Dust over the tree for more sparklyness.  Then a star decal on top of the tree, and voilà!

Did anyone else do Christmas nails..?  I would love to see them.    :)

Wild At Heart ~ pic heavy post

Hello lovelies!

Hope you are all having a great weekend.. yesterday was my cousins daughters birthday, was so lovely to catch up with most of my family.

Todays polish is one I have been after for quite a while, and finally managed to grab it in a blog sale..  Color Clubs ‘Wild At Heart’.  I am a sucker for any purple polish, and this one is the Queen of them all!  Plus the name reminds me of a Stevie Nicks song, and that’s always good.  :)

Have included a few pics as trying to capture the amazingness of this one was hard!  I can definitely see myself wearing this one alot.

China Glaze - Atlantis

Hey all!
Hope your having a great week so far.. ours has been quite eventful.  Son had his last dentist appointment, didn't go quite as well as last time, so am very glad its all over.  Today he has his assessment at the Minimal Motor Dysfunction Unit at our local childrens hospital, am hoping he gets in as I think it would help him alot. Also, i finally got to meet up with one of the lovely ladies from the Aussie Nails FB group I am in, and we did a lil polish swap.. yay!
Ok todays polish is China Glazes 'Atlantis', which is a bluey green with tons of holo glitter.. its beautiful!  i did 3 coats and that made it opaque, but I think next time I will layer it over SH The Real Teal, which seems to be a very close match.

Trying to capture all the holo sparkly goodness in pictures can be quite difficult, which is why a couple are blurry.  Isn't she beautiful?   :)

Comparison swatches

Hey all!

Sorry I have been MIA the past few days… I have been glued to the tv watching all the heartbreaking footage of Hurricane Sandy.  So sad!  We used to visit NYC all the time when we lived in NY and its just so hard to believe its the same place.  :(

So today I have a comparison swatch for you, between Lokis Lacquers ‘Tinsel’, and Sally Hansens Prism ‘Diamond’. 

Can you see the difference between the two?  On my pinkie and middle finger I have the Sally Hansen, and on my ring and pointer fingers is the Lokis Lacquer.  The Loki polish is more of a glitter holo while the SH is a flatter, all over holo.. if that makes sense. lol 

Anyway, I love them both and will be wearing them again for sure.

My latest obsession...

is nail polish.  Well, its always been something i loved, but in the past month or so my obsession has definitely kicked itself up a notch!  I haven't always had nails, I used to be an extreme nail biter.   But I have managed to keep them long now for quite a few months, so I'm hoping i will be able to keep them that way.  To reward myself i have been splurging on a few nail polishes online.. it's hard to find what I want here in Australia, so yay for eBay!  ;)

I will share a pic of the 2 I picked up today... actually my hubby picked them out for me and i must say I am very impressed with his choices. They are both Revlon. The blue is 'Radiant' and is a clear base with blue, silver and green sparkles. The purple is 'Scandalous' and is a black base with big purple sparklies through it.

So many sparklies! Do love!
