Don’t you just love it when…

You know you’ve got loads of parcels on their way to you but they’re all taking so long to arrive, then they all arrive at once? :D Kinda like what happened with my mineral haul. Well it happened again – my nail wheels finally arrived yesterday! So I set about swatching my entire collection of nail polishes. You wanna see? Of course you do! ;P

I was very, very disappointed to discover I only had 62.. it looked like a lot more than that looking at bottles! Haha. Still, not a bad collection I don’t think. Well, 62 was the number in my collection as of December 1st. Today, December 2nd, I got three packages! One was the Illamasqua no13 lashes I bought from Wayne Goss’s sale, one was unmistakably another box from Brooke, but I was puzzled as to what the last one was. Turns out it was from Jacie! :D Oh my word I was so excited – although I’m still puzzled as to why there’s no indication of international postage on the package from Jacie, haha. So in the space of a day, my collection managed to grow an impressive amount! Take a look at these.. First, the package from Brooke.

I’ve been so excited about the matte topcoat – I know I’m so late jumping onto that bandwagon but better late than never, right? I can’t stop myself from mattifying everything in sight, glitters look especially amazing! Thanks a lot Brooke :D

And here’s what I got from Jacie:

A sweet note in a Koala bear card (had to be something typically Aussie in there didn’t there? In case you’re unaware, Jacie is from Australia and we’re doing a swap), sweeties! (These look like Refreshers but I haven’t had any yet so can’t report back), a Milo bar (god damn this was so nummy, it was a bit like a Lion bar but with more caramel and some brownie bits.. om nom nom), two of the CUTEST little cupcake lipglosses, an eyebrow pencil and some tinted brow gel – I wonder if she’s been looking at my EOTDs and thinking my eyebrows need some grooming? Charming ;P

And here’s the rest of the goods!

I’ve been gagging to try out Glitter Gal holos ever since Jacie swatched them on her blog – my word, they are beautiful! I mattified the brown earlier, sooo gorgeous.

So, a massive huge THANK YOU to Brooke and Jacie for expanding my collection for me XD

    Waouh! Nice collection! I enjoy so much receiving parcels :-) Where did you get the wheels from? I need some as well…

    I’m trying to send you an email but it keeps on bouncing back at me!

    So weird. I looked at 2 polishes and thought how lovely they were and it turns out that I already have them! How clever I am.
    Barry M Tangerine and GOSH Holographic – trouble with the GOSH is that you can’t slap the next coat on until having left a decent interval and that annoys me…
    Love your stuff.

    @Nefertari: Thanks :D I got the wheels from one eBay – just type in nail display wheels :)

    @Jacie: Grr :( try DMing me on Twitter instead

    @Carla: Heeehe.. I know, I am a terrible enabler!

    @Jaljen: Haha don’t worry, I do the same thing :D its just an addiction that’s all ;P yeah that annoys me about GOSH holo. It’s actually a better holo effect that ChG OMG though – I always just assumed OMG would be the better one but I’ve never swatched them together – now I have it’s clear that the GOSH one is so much more holographic!
