Winner of HPB Giveaway

On New Years Eve I received the BEST email ever!
I had won 3rd prize in the Hobby Polish Bloggers Winter Giveaway !

I got the email at like 11pm so rang in the new year in a fantastic mood!!
Last New Years Eve my son was admitted to hospital and it was a very stressful and upsetting time and the rest of the year didn't seem to go much better.
Hopefully this is a sign of things to come in 2014!!

I had a choice of a $100 voucher for Llarowe, Ninja polish or a paypal transfer of the money.
I choice Paypal transfer as I had my eye on some polishes from TNBL.

Here is what I spent my winnings on.....


After a LOT of research I found these beautiful Color Clubs! They are Holos but are not part of the holo hues collection so work out at like £3 from TNBL!

Here is (In no particular order) Fashion Addict, Revvolution, Worth The Risque and Wild At Heart.


I saw these and couldn't resist them really. I didn't get black or white as I already have some from the Born Pretty Store but on reflection I should have bought new ones as the ones from the Born Pretty Store are crap.

I also bought a few top and base coats (not pictured)

I had a massive problem ordering from TNBL as it just wouldn't go through but somebody talked to me the whole time online, for around 4 hours, no joke!
As an apology for their site not liking me they gave me a free Color Club polish and bumped my shipping up so I would get them the next day (I ordered at nearly 6pm!)
I thought that was really good customer service as i have had problems with other sites and they don't seem to care. Way to go TNBL!

These are really good stripers. Stay tuned for a nail art with some of this stuff soon.....

What do you think of my choices? What would you buy if you won $100 (about 58 GBP)

New Years Nails! Only 11 Days Late!!

I apologise! 

my laptop died AGAIN! so was off being repaired. 
I do often wonder if people notice I have gone lol I'm sure some of you do :D 

So here are the nails I wore on New Years Eve.


I wore these for a very uneventful night in!
 As you know I have 2 young boys so I don't get out much at all now a days. 

This is Storm by Zoya. 
It is superbly superb! 
It has holo glitter scattered in a black base. 
2 coats in the ^above^ pic


I used a Moyou plate from the Festive collection for the gold streamers. I wanted to use the designs with "Happy New Year" and a clock on but they are just so bloody huge. I couldn't get them to fit on my nails at all. Its annoying when you buy a plate and can only use like 1 design :( 

I'm not quite sure what possessed me to put a blue bow on this Hahahah. I don't like it at all now I'm looking back at it. 


I hope you had a fab new years and 2014 is treating you well so far!
