Latest Haul!

I have been waiting ages for my haul to arrive.  We have been having postal strikes here in Ol' Blighty so everything is delayed at the mo.  I have quite a few new additions but I will start with these three.  The first two are from Paul and Joe.  Now I have to be completely honest and say that the selection of colours are not that inspiring.  They're good if you need to have a "subtle" day, you know, if you need to go to work or an interview .... that sort of thing. However I did buy them purely for the cute bottle!  I love this vintage chic style!  So I purchased a gold one (no 27) and a corally-pink one (no. 15).  Both these are very sheer and both needed 4 coats would you believe!  And even then there was slight VNL!

The gold one has silver glitter in it.  Not quite Chanel Gold fiction but it's still quite pretty.

I liked the coral one more than I thought I would.  This would make a good base for a Konad!  The formula is easy to work with and application is smooth but sheer.  What I also liked about these polishes are the smell.  Now I don't know if these are officially scented but when these dried they smelled like Cerruti 1881.  Gorgeous!
The next addition is Ciate Paint Pot - Shaken Not Stirred.  This is an iridescent purply pink colour which needed three coats.

Again I think this would make a good base for a Konad.  I'm still on the fence on this one! Do I like the colour or do I not like the colour?!?

Maybe I should add some glitter?!  The bottle's pretty cute though!

Gold Fiction - At Long Last!

I can't believe it!  It has finally arrived!  After years of searching (OK slight exaggeration!) I finally have Gold Fiction!  Now I know this is probably old news to some since Chanel has released another gorgeous colour in the form of Jade, but I cannot tell you how long I have wished for Gold Fiction!  I could not wait to get this on to see how fabulous this colour really is.  Boy I was not disappointed! It really is as gorgeous as everyone says it is.  Actually it's better!  It was certainly worth the wait. For those who are wondering what happened to my "No Buy" until the end of this month, I ordered this before I was put on the "No Buy" scheme!  We've been having postal strikes which have delayed it.... honest! Anyway I am now going to go off and sing "Gold Finger ... mwah mwah mwah... she's the gal, the gal with the midas touch ...."!!  x
