Package love from Marte
Hope you're all having a good start to the week! A very quick post to show you an awesome package I came home to when I arrived back from Hong Kong. Lovely Dutch blogger Marte from Girly Addictions spoilt with some awesome European goodies!

Beautiful Catrice holos! I actually picked up some of the Haute Future collection when I was in Rome last year but so happy to have backups of these pretty shades.

I love essence limited editions and these Come to Town Christmas sets are so sweet! They weren't available here in Aus either so super happy to add them to my stash.

Ciate Velvet Manicure set and gorgeous glitters. I don't have many Ciate lacquers as they're kind of pricey here so very excited for these.

p2 fluffy spot polish and Revlon Enchanting and Electric. The swatches I've seen of the fluffy spot polish look really interesting as it's meant to give a snowflake look.

I love a good face mask and these sound so good coming in flavours like macaron, bubblegum and cupcake. Love the metallic packaging too!

Delicious Dutch snacks including my absolute favourite stroopwafels! They disappeared in no time and went so well with the green tea lemon macaroon flavour which smells AMAZING. And who doesn't love Hello Kitty candy too!

Thank you Marte for the amazing package!

p2 Sand Style Adorable
I've done a complete 180 on sand finish polishes over the last few months and I can't get enough of them at the moment. Yeah a bit late to the party haha! I showed you the lovely package Marte sent me yesterday and I immediately wanted to try out the p2 Sand Style polishes. I couldn't resist trying the gorgeous girly Adorable first!

Adorable is a light pink sand finish polish that contains large silver glitters and microglitters. It is super sparkly and my pics just don't do it justice (dodgy lighting oops)!! It's just stunning and I got soooooooo many compliments. I had to bring it in to work and give my workmate a mani using it lol. It applied really well and the brush was great to use. Dry time was quick and man it wears like iron. I took these photos 3 days after application!! There's some slight tip wear on my index and middle fingers which is pretty reasonable. 2 coats is pictured with no topcoat.

What do you think? What are your fave sand finish polishes? Thank you Marte for this beauty! Thanks for looking as always! =)

Package love!
Happy Friday ladies!! I love a bit of mail and recently I received 2 lovely packages and it's about time I shared the package love!! First up is some lovely beauty items from Christine from starry eyed beauty*!

The Ciate Very Colorfoil Manicure Carnival Couture kit!! I've wanted to try foils for AGES and this gorgeous Ciate kit is just perfect! Thank you for fulfilling this lemming Christine =DD

Maybelline Baby lips Electro lip balms in Pink Shock and Strike a Rose. The Baby Lips range is pretty awesome and these aren't available in Aus yet!

Some Covergirl goodies!! The Clump Crusher mascara, Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss balm in Ballet Twist and Smoochies lip balm in Sweet Tweet.

Very cute Bath and Body Works products!! I love hand sanitiser (haha!) and these tiny scented ones are so cute and smell amazing! The Sweet Clementine hand cream smells amazing too.

The second package is a swap with lovely Marte from Girly Addictions!! I swapped with her last year and she asked if I'd like to swap again and of course I said yes! I loved our last swap so I was super excited.

Marte sent me the beautiful new Catrice Thrilling me softly polish collection!! How pretty are they? Perfect shades for Autumn/Winter.

4 amazing p2 Sand Style polishes. When textured polishes first came out I was NOT a fan at all of the finish but I'm loving them now!! Especially ones with glitter through them like the gorgeous pink.

p2 Lost in Space Glitter polishes and a purple Hema Holographic!! There is nothing I love more than glitters and holos xp

Calvin Klein Splendid Color polishes! I've never tried CK polishes actually so thank you Marte for expanding my brand selection in my stash!

I love trying new top coats so I'm excited to try this Herome top coat. How funky is the bottle! Also the p2 Color-Stop fluid which reminds me of Liquid Palisade. I think it would make sponged ombre manis and stamping with black much easier!

How stunning does this Catrice Liquid eyeshadow in Mauves Like Jagger look?!! I don't have any gunmetal shades like this is too pretty to use I think haha.

Some face and body products!!

DUTCH SWEETS!! I love love LOVE stroopwafels and lovely Marte very kindly sent me 2 packets!! ♥♥♥ Also some yummy Bolletje chocolates and a milk chocolate M =)

Thank you so much Christine and Marte for spoiling me with these amazing gifts!!!!

Birthday and wedding packages from Christina!!
A quick post for you today to share 2 WONDERFUL packages I received from my lovely friend Christina a few weeks back!! she definitely made my week =) She spoiled me absolutely rotten yet again (the naughty thing!!) for my birthday and also gave me a wedding gift!! So much goodness where on earth to start xD

1st off is my adorable wedding present!! A Hello Kitty toiletry bag!! Seriously how freaking adorable is it???! My current toiletry bag is a GWP bag from Clinique and is on its last legs so this gift comes at the perfect time!

So much Erre Due goodness! Erre Due polishes are excellent quality and the special effect ones are especially awesome!! Not to mention the holo base coat too.

So many gorgeous polishes including Catrice Dirty Berry (SQUEAL!!), my 1st BB Couture and ESTESSiMO TINS!!

Eeeeeek thank you for my Nfu Oh lemmings Christina!!! Gosh I love the brand so much xD I've been dying to try their Jelly Syrup polishes for ages now and also their Aqua Base Coat.

Some UK polishes from her travels! How cute are the Top Shop polishes!! Also my 1st Sleek polish and a silver holo from 17. Christina knows just how much I love holos!!

Tommy G holo, glitter and special base coat! I'm very curious about the special base coat =D

NYX glitters which are my 1st NYX polishes actually!

Hello Kitty eyeshadow palette and polish! I sound like a broken record but they're so cute!! How could anyone say no to a Hello Kitty shaped polish bottle??

Some awesome NYX makeup products! I love their eyeshadows and jumbo eye pencils. I really wish NYX was sold in-store here - it's such a great brand at such good pricing.

Christina also sent me a beautiful Dior Holiday lip palette!! ♥ I love the shades but it's way too pretty to actually use lol.

Christina also sent me some of her beautiful handmade creations which you can purchase from her Etsy, Zibbet and Storenvy stores!!

I LOVE Christina's customised iphone cases and she kindly sent me a new Hello Kitty one!! You can purchase them from her online stores too. Her iphone cases and deco items are how we connected in the first place!

And lastly lots of skincare samples from Korres and Apvita!! Plus a gorgeous makeup bag too! I forgot to include the Korres makeup pack she sent me in this photo too.

Thank you dear Christina for the lovely packages!! ♥ You spoil me way too much!!

Barry M Textured Nail Paint Station Road + a care package!
Happy Sunday all! Last week I received a wonderful surprise package from gorgeous Aysh. This girl knows exactly how to make my week!! ♥ One of the pretty polishes she sent me was Barry M Textured Nail Paint in Station Road and I have some quick swatches for you today.

Station Road is a bright yellow textured polish with a grainy matte textured finish. It has a gorgeous shimmer through it which isn't that noticeable on the nail. I've been really undecided about the whole textured/liquid sand finish but I'm really liking the Barry M ones! The texture is really fine unlike the OPI ones and doesn't feel gritty on the nail. I couldn't stop touching my nails all day actually haha, it's a very unusual texture. It applied a tiny bit thick but dried very quickly. 2 coats is pictured with no top coat.

Close up:


The package! A sweet card, polishes and mini eggs which were sooooooo delish xD I wish we got them in Aus!

The gorgeous polishes! I love Barry M polishes and I'm excited to try the Bad Apple duochrome.

From L-R: Barry M Textured Nail Paints in Station Road and Atlantic Road, Bad Apple Cosmetics Arkansas and Collection 2000 Bedazzled Nail Effects Love Jewel
Thank you so much lovely Aysh for my surprise package! I love everything =) What do you guys think of the textured trend?
Thanks for looking as always!!

Kiko Holographic 400 and a swap!
I did a swap recently with the lovely Sam from Fashion Polish for OPI Black Spotted (swatches of that to come!) and she kindly included some other awesome polishes for me including this beauty - Kiko Holographic 400. You sure know the way to my heart Sam!
400 is a linear steel grey holo and it is a stunner. Just look at all the awesome holo!!! The formula is opaque in 2 coats and application was reasonable but I did experience some dragging. I really enjoy Kiko polishes and I'm lucky to have a few in my collection now thanks to my wonderful international nail loving friends!

Have you gotten any nail mail recently? Thanks for looking as always!! =)
