Swatches, Part 1

I've only managed to swatch 20 of my polishes so far - I had grand plans for more, but my 9 year old suddenly declared that it was an Easter bonnet parade tomorrow and I had no bonnet for her!  Don't panic, I found her some bunny ears and then did a mini manicure for her with dreadful stamping :D No pictures of that for you I'm afraid, let me get a bit better first please.

So here are the swatches.  They're all Barry M Gelly or Sinful polishes - I'm not writing a list but you can read most of the names on the sticks if you look carefully :o)



Of this bunch my clear favourite is Cinderella by Sinful.  This is a dodgy phone picture, which misses a bit of the sparkle.  It is the exact colour you'd imagine for a Disney princess dress <3

My Biggest Haul

Where to start - jabber on nervously, or admit that this week I bought over 70 new nail varnishes?!  That's right SEVENTY, probably the size of 3 or 4 "normal" people's stashes.  It is a personal record, and I intend on spending several weeks swatching and playing with the new stamping plates I bought (oh yes, I bought 50 of those too!).

To save me boring the entire world via. Facebook (and to ensure my partner Simon, and my mum, never see quite how many polishes I own), I'll rabbit on here about things instead.  You may have guessed already, but I'm a leetle obsessive and enjoy collecting lots of things.  Adventures with wool will be written elsewhere, but you may have to put up with me talking perfume and make up here too.

I'll be back tomorrow with pictures of pretties!!
