NARS Pokerface

I'M BACKKKK! 

Hey everyone! I'm finally back to blogging after a very hectic couple of weeks! My sister's wedding was last Sunday and it was beautiful! I can't believe my little sister is a married woman now! She looked absolutely stunning, and despite some mega bridezilla moments on her behalf, the day went really smoothly! I don't have any photos yet, but as soon as I do, I'll put a couple up.... :)

I was so busy with wedding preparations and then spending time with family after the wedding that I barely changed my nail polish. I wore OPI's Dulce de Leche with a coat of Coney Island Cotton Candy for the wedding and kept that on until yesterday! The horror! :P

Today, however, I am wearing Pokerface which is one of the colours released with NARS' Holiday 2010 collection.

Pokerface is a medium lilac with silvery lilac shimmer. Application was a little difficult. I found it to be on the thicker side and so it went on a little gluggy, but a second coat and then one coat of Poshe seemed to smooth it out fairly well.

Pokerface isn't particularly unique, but the shimmer gives it a little special something. It's a really feminine lilac and I personally love the way it looks on me.

In other news, my Rescue Beauty Lounge Giveaway has now closed. I will be drawing the winner for that as well as my Lippmann Giveaway tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who entered! x

I'm a terrible blogger!

Hey everyone, I'm sorry I have been MIA :(

My sister is getting married on Sunday and this week has been crazy busy with last minute preparations! I also am in the middle of moving floors at my work so I broke two of my swatching nails and I had to file them all down... I now have nubbins... *cries*

I promise I'll be back as soon as I can and I have the following posts coming up for everyone:

* Lippmann Holiday Giveaway Winner

* More Models Own swatches

* Nfu Oh swatches

* Spa Ritual Imagine collection

I'm totally freaking out. The Villa Botanica competition closes earlier than I thought........ *faints*

Deborah Lippmann - Daytripper

No chit chat tonight. I am having such long days at work at the moment and I'm exhausted :( I'm sorry if I haven't replied to some comments yet! I promise I will get to that in the next couple of days... :)

Deborah Lippmann Daytripper is a bright coral creme. This colour is so pretty! I felt really girly when I was wearing it :P 

As with the other Lippmann polishes I have tried, application was wonderful. I only needed two coats for an opaque, even finish.

Don't forget there's only a few days left to get your name down for the Lippmann Giveaway! x
