Hi there everyone!

Believe it or not, but we have come to the end of 2014... Crazy right? I know its not the last day today, but I'm not sure when I'm going to get my New Year's nails up (or even do them) nor do I know what my schedule is going to be like tomorrow (I've been looking after a couple of kids for this week and their mother's work schedule is very prone to changing so I have no idea how long I'll be there), so I'm getting this post up a day early.

Christmas
I love Christmas, I really do. I love the present buying and the present giving. I love being on holiday, I love spending time with my family, I love the food, I love the palpable excitement in the air, I love the heat, the swimming and the unique Christmas time that we have here in Australia. I just really love it. Although I thought this year was going to be a very trying time, due to having basically my whole family here, it actually went down really well and I really enjoyed it.

Face of Australia Liquid Liner
This isn't by any means a new purchase, but something I've rediscovered. I stopped using liquid liner for a while and instead I was using gel liner, but I recently discovered this liquid liner within my collection and I'd forgotten how good it actually is.

1989
I had been coveting Taylor's latest album for months and finally got it as an early Christmas present! While I've only listened to it a couple of times, I really like it so far. I'm a huge fan of latest style of songs and really hope she keeps making more music like this.

Powder Perfect Christmas Collection Review

Hi everyone!

So just recently I got my first polishes from Powder Perfect and am so excited about them! In case you didn't know, Powder Perfect is an Australian indie brand that's based in Queensland.

While I have known about them for a while, I'd never actually bought anything from them until now. (This was mostly due to my limited amount of disposable income and the fact that indie's are just more expensive than mainstream polishes and also, shipping costs..)

However, when I saw Cassie's review of their Christmas Collection over on the Reluctant Femme, I knew I had to buy at least some of them!

In hindsight, I possibly should have branched out of the red glitters but they were both so pretty and I don't have any red glitters and I wanted them both. So the polishes I ended up with were It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas and Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal.

First up is It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, which is a bright fire-engine red. I know it doesn't look it in these pictures, but it is actually wonderfully sparkly in real life. It's got just the right amount of holo mixed in amongst the glitters to give it an extra lift while still keeping it within the 'glitter polish' range, rather than the 'holo polish' range.

Face Of Australia Dark Side Review | Part One

Hi lovelies,

So, today I have some really, really, really lovely polishes to show you. Normally, I'm pretty good about my polish buying. I don't do extremely extravagant shopping sprees and I normally keep my 'Absolutely Must Have' polish list to a length that won't break the bank. All in all, it means that I generally never end up buying an entire collection.

But.... When I was walking through my local Priceline last week, I came across these babies and I just knew that I had to own them all. But I was very frugal - I fought my my inner polish demon and only bought half. I felt very proud of myself.

And then I went back the next day and bought the rest. :)

Well, actually, technically, my sister bought one of them, so I didn't buy the entire collection, but at least I have the entire collection available for my use. :)

Face of Australia have brought out some really great polishes recently (See my rave about their Carnivale ones here) and these are no different. They are really gorgeous polishes and also, are named after famous villains. For me, this was what really cinched the deal. How could I pass up the opportunity to tell people I was wearing Voldemort or Darth Vader on my fingertips?!?!?

First up, we have Mystique, named after the amazing villain-but-not-quite from the X-men series.

Glow in the Dark Nail Polish

To be honest, I think the post title says it all. :)

I got my first glow in the dark nail polish a couple of days ago and it was so exciting! First off, the colour was incredibly bright be itself - I swear I have never seen such a bright orange before. These pictures do not do it justice as all, the colour was just that incredible..... I got so many comments from people about how bright they were and when I told them they glowed in the dark, nobody was surprised. They really are bright.
