China Glaze - 'Tis the Season to be Naughty & Nice

Hey everyone! Once again apologies for not posting as regularly as I should be. I promise this week I will be back on track! :) My camera is only half working at the moment, so bear with me. I will have to buy a new one soon I think. 

I was going to show you a stack of Models Own swatches today, however yesterday when I went to the post office, something was waiting there for me - the polishes I had ordered from China Glaze's Tis the Season collection! So of course I had to show you these first! I only got six of them because I felt that I had similar stuff to the other colours already, but I am so impressed with the ones I chose!

Check out all the holiday goodness after the jump!

Help me win my honeymoon!

Hey everyone! I wouldn't normally do something like this but it's such a massive opportunity I had to ask for your help!

The venue where my fiance & I are getting married are having an absolutely crazy competition on their facebook page where one of the couples that are booked in for a wedding can win a 5 night honeymoon in Bali at Villa Raja. 

In order for us to be in with a chance to win, people need to go to the Villa Botanica facebook page, "LIKE" the page, and then write on the wall of the page "Carina & Micheal 26/8/11"...... You can only do it once though....

As I said before, I wouldn't normally do something like this, and I still feel a little weird asking everyone... I hope I haven't overstepped the mark here and done something distasteful... :( If I have, please let me know and I will take the post down straight away..

But if you think you would be willing to help us out, then thank you soooooo sooooooo much.... We are eternally grateful for your help!

Edit: Thought I'd post a pic of me and my boy that we took while we were visiting the south coast of NSW a couple months back <3

Edit: I just realized that I somehow linked this post to a photo of me and my sister on her hens night instead of the Villa Botanica website! Haha! I'm so sorry to anyone that had to witness that messiness! :p It should be fixed now :D

Models Own - Lilac Dream

I'm baaaaaack! :D Sorry for not posting over the past few days.. I have been flat out!

Anyway, as I promised, I sat down tonight to do swatches of all the Models Own colours I bought at their 50% off sale.... I put the first colour on, and started snapping away and then...... my battery died.... *cries* ..........and for some reason it wont charge!!!! So I only have pics of one of the colours tonight, Lilac Dream.

First thing tomorrow I'm going to the shops to get a new battery (or maybe a new camera!!! :P)...

Lilac Dream is exactly as the name describes it - a dreamy lilac cream that glides on effortlessly! I used two thin coats and a coat of Poshe.

(Note: This photo is not actually this pink.. I swear! But every time I add it to the page, Blogger makes it darker and redder! What the hell Blogger?!?!?!)

This last photo was without flash but I feel like it gives a more true indication of the colour of this polish.

I really love this colour and if it wasn't for the fact that I am dying to try the rest of the colours I got, I would probably be happy wearing this for days! 

Just a quick reminder that there is only a couple of days left to get your name down for my 50 Follower Giveaway! Thank you to everyone for all your encouragement and thank you to all my new followers! I really appreciate it and promise I will repay your generosity with giveaways well into the New Year! x

I'm still here!

Sorry for being MIA everyone! I had a very big weekend doing wedding planning stuff for my sister and going to her hens party. I also had to do some final assessments for college :( 

I'll be back on Tuesday with a stack of Models Own swatches! Hope everyone had a fab weekend! x
