It feels so good when the items I've been waiting for finally arrive!!! 

Previously I mentioned some of my favourite websites which included NZsale and buyinvite

today I received items from both sites! 
yay! 

You see that big box?
this is what was in it... My yummy scented Revlon nail polishes. purchased for only $8



And that white bag.. contains this...

One of my now all time favourite tops! 
It is Romeo and Juliet Couture.
The giraffes are foil printed and it has epic bat-wing(ish) sleeves. 

Check back to see when I have it as my outfit of the day (OOTD)
So I'm some what a nail polish fiend.

If I see a new colour I just have to have it.

Now most people rave on about OPI and yes, sometimes their colours are cooler and admittedly they do have a pretty darn awesome iPhone app.

But my nail polish love is Revlon.

That's right the iconic shaped bottle the gold printed letters around the base of the neck.

I find revlon nail polish to be smooth and easy to apply. It doesn't clump up over time, and they're the provider of my favorite top coat "999 colorstay top coat" (GET SOME)

Now I'm no nail technician, and I don't think I'm an expert on nail polish. But I love the stuff, and I like to try new colours/patterns/styles.


After Revlon my other favorite nail polishes would have to be:
Australis: they usually have quirky different colours and come in a cute cylindrical bottle. The formula is easy to apply, doesn't get clumpy overtime and tends to dry smoothly (admittedly I ALWAYS use a topcoat)

Sally Hansen: (mostly "salon effects- real nailpolish strips") these allow you to do patterns you never though possible. They're similar to minx nails worn by many of the celebrity's but don't require a UV lamp to set. They say they'll last up to 10 days; and I'd agree. I can usually keep mine on for a good week (with a few chips at the end)

More on each brand and colour later.

Saturday fun.
I didn't get up to much today... just looked at my Easter eggs longingly.
and made an Easter cake
(it was meant to be a chocolate nest, with chocolate eggs)


and encouraged MyLove to do his uni assignment. 

While doing all this I felt fab in my new pants! (I just really love these!)
T-shirt: Bardot button white t-shirt
Cardi: Glassons Merino red and grey cardi
Jeans: Max cranberry jeggings
Shoes: Hannah's gold and red ballet flats
Beads: Cheapo-shop Plastic red beads
Just another day at Uni...
Totally love my outfit today! 
I finally got to wear my black jacket with my cranberry pants which match perfectly!!

But I have to point out that it is a fully max outfit... (which shows how much I love the shop haha)


Jacket: Max Black blazer with cranberry trip
Top: Max Stripey knot t-shirt
Pants: Max Cranberry Jeggings

Shoes: Shoe Connection nude heels (not Max)
Earrings: max red and gold drop
Bracelet: gifted from my father...
So I got a new nail polish today (no shrinking violet) the ring-finger purple one.
I decided I wanted to do something a bit different and exciting, so I decided to do a DARK mani! 
Each of the nails is a different dark colour
Green: australis: Here today gone tomorrow
Blue: Revlon: Midnight Affair
Purple: Revlon: No Shrinking Violet
Red: Revlon: Vixen (one of my very favourite nail polishes!)
Black: australis: Blackmail

Later on today I painted my friends nails for her 21st party.
(this is a photo I took yesterday to show her different options)
we ended up doing a silver tip with a pale pink stripe similar to
this nail \/
