March package love!
Hi ladies! Last month I received some lovely packages from 2 of my awesome blogger friends and it's about time I shared them with you! The first package was a wonderful (and very naughty!) surprise birthday package from my gorgeous British pal Aysh!! ♥
Not only did Aysh include a very sweet card and 2 packs of delicious Hotel Chocolat choccies (polished off very quickly by my family!) but yes you see right - she gifted me the amazing MAX Factor Fantasy Fire and also Meteorite!!!! *faints*
The 2nd package was from lovely Monika who sent me an awesome New Year/Chinese New Year package from sunny Singapore!
Nail polish!!!! Some fabulous polishes from Sasatinnie, Canmake, Etude House, Flormar, Disney Villians and my first Paul & Joe! Eeeeek! The Paul & Joe polish is from their Meow! collection and is sooooooo pretty. I had to use it the night I received Moni's package! I still haven't posted swatches though doh. Also a pretty purple Za lipstick and a Konad plate. It was all wrapped so nicely too =)
Moni also included some great skincare for me! The masks are too cute to use lol.
Thank you both SO MUCH for your wonderful packages =) It really brightened my month!

Glittery purple NOTD
Hi ladies. Just a very quick post for you today with a NOTD I did last week featuring one of my favourite colours PURPLE!! It's a glittery purple too omg! This post will be short on words sorry, I'm just not in the mood tonight x(
I started off with 2 coats of the delightful Flormar Supershine Shine and Hot Perfect Polish in 14. I picked this up when I did some hauling at the Flormar stand at Parramatta Westifeld thanks to the awesome 15% off code thanks to lovely Lilit. I have wanted to try Flormar polishes FOREVER since Deniz featured them in her NOTDS. I was really hoping they would have the duochromes but unfortunately not. Fingers crossed they will later!
14 is a dark purple polish filled with purple microglitter - IT'S FREAKING GORGEOUS. 2 coats was needed for opacity and I did experience the tiniest bit of dragging on my ring finger because I didn't wait long enough between coats. It applied very easily and dry time was great. The brush is on the softer side but still easy to handle. I'm loving the long cap too because I can hold it like a pen which makes controlling the brush easier
Close up:
I then added a coat of Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance to ring fingers and thumb for an accent.
Thanks for looking as always ladies =) International ladies, don't forget to enter my Beautysnapz giveaway here!

Harry Potter nails
Hi ladies!! I went to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 today and boy was it EPIC!! Everything and more I'd hoped for in the final installment of the movies. It was so emotional and of course I blubbered like a baby x) I'm so sad to see the end of an era as the Harry Potter series has been such a huge part of my life. I was 11 when The Philosopher's Stone came out and my Latin teacher introduced my class to the "Boy Who Lived" and it's been a journey along with Harry, Hermione and Ron ever since. Thank goodness I can read the books over and over again! I wanted some special nails to mark the occasion so here are my Harry Potter nails inspired by the Hogwarts house colours.
What I used:
Pinky: Ravenclaw (blue & bronze) - I used 2 coats of BYS Astro Gold (it's more a bronzey foil than gold) and then added a coat of OPI Blue Shatter *.
Ring finger: Slytherin (green & silver) - I used 2 coats of OPI Jade is the New Black and then added a Dark Mark inspired image from Bundle Monster plate BM-225 using China Glaze Millenium.
Middle finger: Hufflepuff (yellow & black) - I used 3 coats of China Glaze Happy Go Lucky and then stamped full diamond tartan design from Konad plate m60 using Konad Special Polish in black.
Index finger: Gryffindor (red & gold) - I used 2 coats of Flormar 358 and then stamped full diagonal line design from Bundle Monster plate BM20 using China Glaze Passion.
Thumb: I used 2 coats of Face Of Australia Gold* and then added a lightning bolt with a small brush using Ulta 3 Black Satin.
In case you're wondering, the Harry Potter wand was a gift from D who purchased it from Noble Collection. My mother knitted the Gryffindor scarf and the Harry Potter glases are 3D ones from Event Cinemas. My sister also has a Gryffindor tie and jumper too! xD
Event Cinemas George St have some official movie props on display until this Tuesday and it's worth checking out! They don't have too much but still well worth it for fans.
Clockwise from top: The Daily Prophet from Order of the Phoenix; Mafalda Hopkirk's Identity card from Deathly Hallows - Part 1; The Daily Prophet from Order of the Phoenix; Dark Arts Defence Basics for Beginners from Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's wand:
Luna's dress and shoes that she wore to Professor Slughorn's party in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
If you haven't seen the movie yet then what are you waiting for??!! Are you a Harry Potter fan?
Thanks for looking as always!
