June 2012 - New Additions...


I thought about putting the text first, but that picture is awesome enough to head up a post on its own. Hell yeah. So, my stash update of additions for the month of June. Technically almost all of these are birthday presents, but they were all ordered or sent in June, so they can count for that. Haha! Okay, onto the sexy bottle photos!

The first post!

Dun dun dunnnn. I always find the first post kinda intimidating, a bit like the first page of a sketchbook. What do you do? What if it's not good enough to be the first post? Oh well, best just to get it over with.

I've had a nail tumblr for a while, but I thought I'd branch out into blogspot too; partially out of curiosity, partially because I'm hoping it'll be easier to keep up with my favourites as well! Also because I'm stupidly verbose and waffle on all the time, and I just kinda feel like tumblr isn't a talky kinda place (except maybe to shout "OMG WHAT IS THIS BRILLIANCE I CAN'T EVEN YOU GUYS!!!!!1!1!"). Anyway, I'd imagine everything will be crossposted to both, just means more watermark-changing for me. :P

Anyway, I recently managed to get my hands on the wonderful Sticks N Stones by Cover Band Lacquers, via Ninja Polish. It's my first indie polish, but I'm now starting to think that perhaps it's just opened the door into a slippery slope of spending all of my money on indie lacquers. Sigh. I guess there are worse things to spend my money on, eh!

Enough talk! A picture!


Ha! Neon eye-searing brilliance! Yesssss. Obviously I couldn't decide on which colour to use, so I thought, hey, skittles, yeah. Polishes are, in order;
Blue; China Glaze - Splish Splash
Green; China Glaze - I'm With The Lifeguard
Yellow; China Glaze - Sun Kissed
Orange; Models Own - Beach Party
Red; Models Own - Hedonist

Appearance of the lesser-spotted right hand;


The lighting on this one is atrocious, the sun had already gone down here and my bathroom is the only place my flash wouldn't go off. (My boyfriend has very nicely built me a lightbox now, so hopefully I won't run into this problem again!)

Colours here are not really true to themselves, but as follows;
Purple (thumb); China Glaze - Beach Cruise-R
Pink; China Glaze - Hang Ten Toes
Blue/teal; Rimmel - Sky High
Pastel lavender; Nails Inc - Bluebell

Now, just to work out where this supposed "read more..." button is...
