The TK's near me rarely have anything good Apparently they have some of the Opi Muppets in there at the moment which seems really quick. I got nail mail from Sally today :-)

Are they nice Sue? I'm dying to try my newbies out but I only did my nails last night. Should have waited really.

Layla Misty Blush is gorgeous..I put on it over what I put on last night as I didn't like it ...  The Pretty and Polished (Dresden Doll Diamond)is my fave type of green and I'm reserving judgement on the Picture Polish...the bottles are so small!

Yes I noticed the PPs are quite small as well. I'll be layering mine so I don't waste any.

That Dresden Doll one looks gorgeous, just had a look at the swatches.

Starry, excellent choice of polishes

Thank you. I finally popped my PP cherry.

Not purchases as such but its my birthday and both HanSpans man and my lovely neighbour gave me polish.

NI Black leather look and OPI Rock Goddess minis from Malcolm. I've not got any, I've never had a leather look, and the banana yellow and orange in the minis look fab - pretty impressive for a man with no hints!

Lovely neighbour more of a mixed bunch. Mavala Black Diamond - nice, Barry M magnetic blue - nice too, Barry M Watermelon - really really lovely. Then Barry M Sequin effect Black - noooooo, and Barry M bubblegum - with short hairy glitter so I'm not sure I can get past the hairyiness.
Still very kind and I do so love swatching!

Then I actually bought (and arrived today) LSL Blue Hawaiian, CBL Tazmo Kramer, Different Dimension the lover the dreamer and me, Elevation darkest storm.
All really lovely!

So that's 14 swatches on the go in the kitchen. I may be high on fumes very soon!

Gosh, you'll need to make some room for all those Han.

Happy birthday, hope you have a lovely day xx

Thanks - am playing in the garden!

And Yup.  I suspect the box of 'I must get rid of these' is about to grow a bit.

I actually think the Barry M confetti glitters (is that what they're called or have I made that up..?) are ok - the strands are a bit shorter than other hair glitters.

I think they are called confetti. I swatched it going one way then the other so I have a sort of faint gingham effect. Its not that bad, but I'm not sure I'll ever get round to wearing it with all the other preferable things I have yet to try. My untrieds is totally out of control!

Hope you had a good birthday Han
I got a new Smitten in the post yesterday...Amas Veritas...it's very pink !!

I did thanks! Lazy day finished off with fillet steak and melt in the middle chocolate pudding with extra thick double cream. HanSpan's Man knows the way to my heart!

I've just acquired OPI DS Ruby and Chiffon.   

Biit gutted as it looks like three Smittens I' bought from a sale page have gone missing in the post,but just had a despatch email for two direct plus a group custom colour

Just treated myself to the ciate nail lab. Reduced from £65 to £25. Would have been rude not to at that price! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Oh heck why did I squeeze in a quick NPAA browse? I've ordered two! One for me and one as a present once I decide which of my friends is sufficiently deserving;)

Hahaha Han... I'm not even sorry! Kudos to my OH though as it was him that found it!

My OH bought me one of those as well. Bless him.
And that was after I'd raided the pound shop and Boots for about 10 polishes (he didn't know about the 4 I bought the day before, or the 4 I got free with magazines!!!)

Aww, must have just missed that. I just checked and it's £65

I had a look at Norway Nails and put some polishes in my basket, which included the Picture Polish space collection. Before checking out I put the total into a cash converter. Turned out it will cost me about £145 for 11 bottles! I've not made the purchase yet. Just thinking about which ones I could cut and which ones I'd "really need"!

At lunchtime I picked up new Barry M Gelly's in Olive, Coconut & Pink Punch, Maybelline Acid Wash Effects in Mint-Acid Attitude & Lilac Rebel and L'Oreal Top Coat Confettis in Oulala Blue, Splash Peach & Graffiti D'Amour (3-for-2's).

I managed to snag KBShimmer Myth You Lots on eBay a couple of days ago.

Aww Tatty  It was a really short lived sale - TBH I only saw it cos of the OH (His training is going well!) I keep getting my excited face on as I know some peoples have arrived already but our work post van has been and gone and I am yet to receive anything.  Having a terrible day today too so could have done with some shinies to cheer me up.

My ILNP pre-order parcel arrived this week with Sweet Serenade and 2 of the new summer collection- Peace and Rehab. Very chuffed with all of these and am itching to get them on.
Other than that, I picked up a pink Jess polish from Poundland (the pale slightly lilac-y toned one from the MacMillan charity collection) and last week I got Barry M Gelly Pink Punch, Huckleberry and Rosehip plus a neon yellow Jess one and couple of Sinful Colors (lilac shimmery one and a green that looked neon-like in Poundland but is really just lime green-that's gone straight on the give away/nail art pile lol).
Just waiting for payday next Friday and I'm planning on getting 3 of the Boots & Superdrug Barry M LE's and 3 or 4 of the new Mattes, plus possibly their matte topcoat too.

Still waiting for my nail lab. Hmph.
