Funny about the gold polish. My theme for December is "Bling" so I'm wearing sparkly and metallic polish this month.

I must've missed something. You have a Hare polish? You came over to the indie side?

Lol! You always know how to put a smile on my face.

! Yes, I drank the Koolaid & came of to the dark side several months ago. I am the proud owner of 4 Hares. Since then however, I'm tempering my NP purchases because I've maxed out my racks. When we renovate the house I'll amend my set up, and hope to enlist the services of an interior designer just to help me make the best use of our space. Mad Chill i stye only one that I've worn so far. I've had it on for a full 2 days and I'm getting some significant tip wear and chipping but I honestly think it's because of what I've been doing with my hands, and not the polish.

Dior Spring:

I love looking at all the spring colours, I'm over winter already, lol. Haven't hauled anything in the BF sales (other than more Jack Black lip balm), we don't really have good deals here, plus I'm broke.

Wow Naynadine...I'm drooling. Oh I just love the soft colors. So, so pretty. The blue reminds me of Nymphea which I love so I know I'll need that for sure! Thanks for
sharing. I'm over winter and it hasn't officially started here. It's cold and dreary today. I didn't do any BF shopping either. I find it hard to buy into the whole concept.
Instead we're in the throws of Hanukkah celebrations----family, food & fun.

That sounds great, Medgal :)
I ended up hauling something, small but exciting. The new Shiseido concealer that won't officially launch until next year. I'm super excited to try it, although I wasn't able to get the lightest shade, but I hope it's still wearable for me.

My new nail polish rack!! :) I only have the one, so put all my favourites on it. Some that will likely be favourites (e.g. Enchanted) are not present because I have not worn them yet.

The only 'assembly' was sticking the top decorative bit on top.

Fuzzy, love the red mani!

Honi, beautiful black nails!

Anitacska, Anneri, CartoonChic: great hauls everyone! :)




Manhattan - Berlin Bling

It's a bit weird wearing something that puts you out of your comfort zone. But I'm starting to like it.

That's awesome....a haul is a haul, no matter how small. You'll be able to give us a review & recommendations next year!

This is gorgeous!

I forgot to show you my Llarowe Hare haul, sadly no Amethystos and Medusa Luminosa, but the rest is pretty. I did manage to order Golden Years twice (doh!), if anyone wants it, let me know, you can have it.

Ooh, how spooky! :)


No, of course I haven't, lol! Let me know how you like it.


Love your franken polish! How did you make it, what did you use?


Nice! Can't wait for my Llarowe haul to arrive, mine was a big one too!

Great haul! I am jealous of the Cast in Bronze. When I do order up some Hares, that is the main one I want. :)

From an email from My Ten Friends nail polish. By the way, does anybody have their polish? What do you think?

Those Hares are the best ones. I have not worn a Hare for a while. Golden Years makes a good December polish... I need to pull out all the Christmas/Holiday/Bling polishes so I can plan my manis for December.

Nice haul! You got a bit of everything and lots of Lush!

I think my December theme is also Bling - and I start with a BANG!

Enough with those grays...



DL Fake It Till You Make It and Glitter and Be Gay
Love the mani as usual!

I love mking polishes. It's very soothing somehow (or are that the fumes lol?). I used solution base, two blue and one black pigment and three different types of glitters. (I answered that above.) I really want to do another version with the round and matte white glitters and instead of the holo glitters add some teeny tiny holo hexes. But I've run out of bottles and it's such a bother to always order everything from oversea. If that was easier I'd start to make a lot more of them!

Thank you CC! I'd really love to have a start in making indie polishes, but it's nearly impossible to get the supplies over here.

Thanks Med! Hope you had a wonderful Hanukkah!


Somehow your quote doens't show up? Specktra can act so strange sometimes!
Anywayws, I was so happy to get especially Accent and Pale Barley. Douglas gave me the hardest time with Accent, their CS really is a joke. So I was really very happy to see the Chanel collection everwhere around London. We don't have a Burberry counter here and I spent now over a year hunting for it whenever I was in a city with a counter! Finally! The Illamasqua foundation is a bit on the heavy side, but the colour matches me so well that I decided to get it. All attendees of the course get 20% off the MU, so that was a bonus. I hope they do a sale after christmas like last year, I want to get some things like Hollow and the brow cake I tried.


Thank you! I just love the combo of blue and silvery glitter this time of the year!


Thank you! I started from scratch so to speak - there's no existing polish that I used to make it. I used different blue pigments and a bit of black, round silver dots and two different sets of different shaped glitter, one matte white and one with holo glitters. I had so much fun making it - I did a few different ones but this was the one I loved most. I'll post the other ones when I'll wear them. But I hope this one holds up well on my nails, because I decorated the apartment yesterday and got a nasty cut on my thumb from the lametta, and I don't want to imagine how that feels when NP remover comes in contact with it!


My husband dragged me into Penhaligons and we had so much fun there. We had a wonderful SA who threw in so many samples! My husband gave me the candle because he bought Elixir which I hate.

I saw that Breuninger also has Chanel now on their website, so maybe they'll have the exclusive collections from now on. I haven't checked for Accent there.
I really need to try Burberry products as well! Don't really have much experience with Illa products, besides one foundation sample which turned out too cakey on my dry skin. But I feel like I need to to give their products another try eventually.

That sounds like so much fun! Very creative. I can't wait to see pictures of it on.
ps- Sorry about your thumb!!

I fell in love with Shiseido this year! The blushes are amazing, as well as the eyeshadows. The Beach Grass palette is my favorite e/s palette ever.

I saw that Breuninger also has Chanel now on their website, so maybe they'll have the exclusive collections from now on. I haven't checked for Accent there.
I really need to try Burberry products as well! Don't really have much experience with Illa products, besides one foundation sample which turned out too cakey on my dry skin. But I feel like I need to to give their products another try eventually.
Beach Grass looks lovely! It reminds me of something... kind of Spiced Chocolate, but I think I have something else, too. I have the Opera and Voyage palettes. I think I should get Jungle and possibly also Lido if it's on the green side, not blue. I will check out BG, too. Luckily I can swatch these irl unlike so many things!

You should really try Illamasqua blushes. Most of the powder blushes are matte and very pigmented (I have not tried their cream blushes but they should be good, too). They don't seem to have a big selection now - so many have been d/c. The best time to catch them is the upcoming sale in about a month. Ah, I still have the 20 GBP voucher from the NP mailing fiasco I should use!

Today's mani, Sally Hansen Pink Amber with Hits Glitters World Paris on the accent fingers. I actually added a few extra hearts to it as it only had a few and I couldn't fish any out. So it's kind of a franken polish I guess...





And here are my two MeiMei orders from last week. I love how fast the shipping is form Hong Kong!


Edm Rhodium, Peer Pressure, Where The Boys Fear To Tread, Seeing Red, FF Mirror of Dawn, GB Get Weaponized, Flowers in Your Hair


Liquid Sky Lacquer Heavenly Hummingbird, Bird of Paradise, Twilight Hummingbird, Twilight Peacock, Twilight Plumage, O Christmas Tree, Arcane Lacquer, Twinkling Tinsel, Ethereal Lacquer Veiled

DL Fake It Till You Make It and Glitter and Be Gay
Wow MRV. Had I seen your mani last night when I was binging hauling I would have gotten Fake it Till You Make It. It was a toss up between that and Boom Boom Pow. I was having a gold bling moment and went w/BBP. I doubt FITYMI would have looked nearly as good on me as it does on you. I think longer nails can handle glitter much better.
