Orly Birds of a Feather press release

Hello~ First off, like my new layout? XD I spent the whole of last night working on it and getting everything sorted, only to find out the twitter link on the top right leads to blogger's account and I can't change it! Grrrr :( Oh well, it's tiny so I'll just ignore it. If I ever decide to make a twitter account, I'll show it large and clear :P

Anyway, onto the point of this post. Orly Australia has just sent me info of the greatly anticipated Birds of a Feather collection. And OMG. If there's one polish I want to get my hands on in this collection, it's Fowl play. *drools* It looks like a dupe of OPI's Merry midnight, which I have such a huge lemming for.

We never get anything first here in Australia so I'm mighty excited, hehe. I was lucky enough to receive some of the polishes from this collection in the mail a few days ago so do be on the look out for a near future post! :D Any guesses as to which one I might be showing first? :P And, what are you anticipating from this collection?

Flakey layering

Hey everyone~ It's been such a windy and cold day today - brrrrr, still freezing! And so I battled the cool weather with my warm, navy blue and topped it with some gorgeous flakies. I love me some flakies :D. Shown is two coats of China Glaze First mate and one coat of Nubar 2010 layered over it.

Gosh, I can't get over how fabulous flakies look. If Nfu. Oh's were cheaper, I'd have bottles of flakies hoarded up. If only. Nail polish companies need to start the flakey trend, I'm starting to get really sick of crackles... >< What do you think of the beautiful Nubar 2010?

DIY Earrings

Sometime over a week ago I felt like making my own earrings, just for fun. Cuff ones especially because its so hard to find them in the shops, I have a few pairs but I had to get them online from Singapore. So I went online & ordered all the stuff I needed, earhooks, jumprings, beads, pendants, chains.. Got them all & then realised I had no pliers! So a ordered some a couple days ago, they came in the post today so I thought I'd do a bit of experimenting. I still need to order more beads though, I need more variety!

Everything is so small & fiddly, turned out to be much harder than I thought it would be.
