Polish All the Nails

Once in awhile, I get the urge to do what most would consider insane levels of glitter.  I do it because I love it and I love sparklies.  This took a really long time to do - two night in fact - but it's totally worth it because it's just so very, very sparkly.  The glitter from LoveNailz etsy store goes so well together too.  I hope I get reincarnated as a mermaid, and my tail looks like this.  That would be nice...

One of my goals here is to try to avoid some of the blogging cliches - things like apologising for lack of content, complaining about being busy, etc but I have to say I've been a little uninspired of late.  After 325 posts (this is 326), it gets rather challenging to come up with something new.  There's only so many times I can do glitter mosaics - well, that's not true, I love them but I don't want to wear out their welcome.  As a result, my posts have dropped off.  I've still been doing my nails but not in a way I feel needs showing.  In an effort to haul myself out of my blogging funk, I swatched my entire collection.  Yep, on these  lovely things.  It's helped me see what I have stashed away and I should get back to posting more.  The Reddit Weekly Challenge seemed like a good place to get back into it so let's take a look at my interpretation of "Blue". My collection doesn't even come close to fitting in one Helmer.  That's o...

 As you may have noticed (or not, if you're reading this as an archive) I've been away for the few weeks, having a wonderful time flitting around Australia.  I had this great elaborate plan of having a series of guest posts but while I have the content, the access to the internet is something of an issue when you're scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef.  To make it up to you, let me show you my duty free present to myself: my first Chanel. Chanel Blue Satin is an absolutely gorgeous midnight blue, with a very subtle shimmer.  I seem to have something of an  affinity for dark blues in the high end polishes , but what can I say?  I like what I like.  Application was a dream, as you'd hope, and what you see here is two coats.  As has been the case for a few other dark colours, the shimmer is a lot more prominent in the bottle than on the nail but the gloss this polish puts off is worth the reduction in shimmer.  This is literally the shinies...
