...pink on pink...
...while I am all for wearing pink pants, or pink shoes, or a pink cardi, I'm yet to be as adventurous as the delightful Bee from Atlantic Pacific and wear pink on pink AND leopard print...
....come to think of it - i've worn lilac pants and a pale pink shirt before...surely that counts...?!

... snap, crackle, pop...!!
... first published on Primped here...
This week, I was lucky enough to review Sally Hansen’s new “Crackle Top Coat”!
To my great surprise, I was sent a gorgeous base colour in “Sonic Boom” which made a perfect base for my crackle colour “Vintage Violet”! Both colours come in a great sized bottle, with the crackle effect even on the lid, so there is no chance of mistaking it for a regular nail colour. “Sonic Boom” went on like a dream – with a thick brush I only needed one swipe AND one coat to cover my nails! The polish is most definitely “Insta-Dry”, as by the time I finished the pinkie on my right hand, the left was dry! I was even tempted to leave the strong, bold, hot pink on its own, as it is such a fab colour!
In comparison, the “Vintage Violet” brush had nothing on “Sonic Boom”! At about half the size, it was ok for my pinkie, but for the other nails I needed 2 or 3 swipes. After trying a light coat on my ring finger and then a thicker coat on my middle finger, I decided a thicker coat gave a better effect. The crackle coat also dried quickly and I made sure to use a top coat to seal in the colour and the effect. Both colours wore really well, as well as can be expected for me at least – typing, filing and housework don’t leave them looking all that amazing at the end of the week!
Overall, I was thrilled with both products and will definitely looking at other colours in this range! I love all the new and fun nail effects out and about at the moment – crackle, colour blocking, newspaper nails and more! So great to see a wide range of colours – for a while all we saw was black & silver. I would definitely recommend this to all nail polish lovers and give them a rating of 5 out of 5 – up there with OPI and China Glaze!
Thank you to Primped and Sally Hansen for the chance to review!

...so many pictures...so little time...
... as you might have noticed from the link to your right, I have started a Tumblr... I come across oh-so many fabulous pictures and I often feel bad posting loads of pictures here, unless of course there is a theme or I comment on them...
...I figured a Tumblr was a great place to post or re-blog pretty pictures without the need to comment on them, unless I wanted to...
...check me out here:
(so happy my name was available!)
...please feel free to recommend any Tumblr's your regularly check out, so I can too!

...curse of the glossies...
... anyone who anything about me would definitely tell you I tend to be slightly obsessed with fashion magazines... while I do have my favourites - Vogue Australia, Shop Till You Drop, Industrie - I am drawn to new, glossy covers and will often purchase quite a few more, depending on the cover star and the headlines...
This month (December), I picked up Marie Claire , which I never buy, just to read the article about SPJ!
I used to subcribe to InStyle, but felt I needed to cut back... Still a FABULOUS magazine, and this month is no exception with the gorgeous SJP gracing yet another cover...
...I am proud to say I own every single copy of Shop Till You Drop and it remains my favourite for the fact that it is all about shopping - high end, low end and everything in between! Plenty of shoes, bags & dresses plus hair and beauty info, a great lifestyle section and not too many articles! Not a fan of the cover, but, oh well...
... I am also a huge fan of Madison as it has the perfect mix of fashion, shopping and beauty as well as great music/books/movies reviews, celeb and real life stories... This month, I couldn't go pass the gorgeous cover AND the bonus Butter London polish...!
...Vogue Australia is the other title I subscribe to and the perfect read for all fashion lovers out there... Beautiful pictures, relevant articles, gorgeous models and the best of the best of high end shoes, bags and dresses a girl could wish for! This month was slightly hit and miss ( I felt) as I flicked through way too many pages of advertising, average gift ideas and more advertising before I got to the stunning editorials at the back... Not my first choice for a December cover star, Isabel Lucas sure does look amazing!
...Even though the bonus cards and pretty cover tempted me, I managed to hold back on this month's Bazaar... With the winner of the lastest ANTM on the cover, it nearly got me, but I thinking Miss S can send her's over for me to have a flick through... (hint hint)
...adore this cover of W magazine - the gorgeous Fanning girls also made an appearance in Vogue Australia's October issue, so I got my fix then...!
...hoping to pick up this special edition of US Vogue next week ! LOVE the cover stars - Mary Kate & Ashley and looks like it should be a fab issue!
