Transdesign Haul

Since I can't get China Glaze from Head2Toe Beauty anymore; I decided to shop at Transdesign. Unfortunately I had to pay custom fees, so that doubled the price, but I'm still happy with my haulage.

Orly Purple Velvet, China Glaze C-C-Courage and Good Witch?

OPI: DS Original, Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees (Suede), You Don't Know Jacques! (Suede), Barefoot in Barcelona, Over the Taupe, Shim-mery Chic.

And here is a picture of the sushi themed dinner we had for New Years. YUM!

Head2Toe Beauty Nail Polish Haul

It sucks that you can't buy Chine Glaze from Head2Toe if you aren't located in the US. Oh well, it means that I ended up with a couple of polishes from other brands.

Orly Prisma Gloss Silver, Orly Prisma Gloss Gold, Misa Double Date, CND Effects Amethyst Sparkle, Orly Cashmere Cardigan, Orly Pixie Dust, Color Club Love 'Em Leave 'Em, Color Club Vivid Top Coat.

I don't know why, but I've always read those Orly topcoats is "Plasma Gloss". I'm sort of disappointed now that I know they are called "Prisma Gloss".

Check out Karianne's blog for great pictures of the CND effects.

20% off on Konad supplies at OC Nail Art!

Guys, cool news. Kathleen of OC Nail Art is giving a 20% discount on all the Konad stuff in her online store. Just use the code polishpixie at checkout. But hey, it gets better! For orders over $20 shipping is free and that also goes for international shipping! I'm really happy about that since a lot of companies seem to charge ridiculous amounts for international shipping.

Aren't they gorgeous? I'm having a major case of the lemmings here. I can't wait for Jocelyn to get them in stock.

The price of Nfu-Oh is unfortunately going up to $12.50 (that makes me a sad panda), but they are so totally worth it. I've asked Jocelyn to pre-order 133, 146, 158, 163, 173, 181, 255, 260, and 278 for me, and I will share them with you as soon as I get them. And no, I'm not affiliated with Fabulous Street or Nfu (though I totally wish I was!), I just think Jocelyn is the bomb.

Swatch Party! Eyeko, Nubar Sweet Nothings, and Hong Kong Glitters

Hi peeps! I finally got around to swatching some polishes on my lemming wheel. The glitters are one coat, Eyekos two coats, and Nubars 3 coats.

Click to enlarge:

1: Eyeko Disco - Dense silver glitter
2: Eyeko Red - Tomato red creme (love this one!)
3: Eyeko Pastel - Baby blue with subtle teal shimmer
4: Eyeko Pretty - Baby pink creme
5: HK Glitter Fuchsia
6: HK Glitter Purple
7: HK Glitter Multi
8: HK Glitter Copper/peach
9: HK Glitter Gold
10: HK Glitter Blue
11: HK Glitter Teal
12: HK Glitter Silver
13: Nubar Candy Apple
14: Nubar Lemon Drop Dazzle
15: Nubar Strawberry Punch
16: Nubar Peach Sherbet
17: Nubar Iced Licorice
18: Nubar Cotton Candy

First lets talk about the Eyeko polishes. It took forever for them to deliver, but the polishes them selves do deliver! They have great pigmentation (there's only two coats on the lemming wheel) and application, and the brush is not as annoying as it looks. I'll definitely be ordering the two last Eyeko polishes. They are £3.00 at http://www.eyeko.com/ and shipping is free!

I'm not as thrilled about the Hong Kong Glitters (I think the brand might be called "HQ", but I'm not sure). I bought these from Paul Lee Design on ebay. The polishes are very cheap, but shipping is expensive. They smell REALLY BAD. A nasty, chemical smell that will eat your brain. Honestly I'm afraid of putting them on my nail. Ingredients weren't listed on the bottles, so I have no idea what's in them.

The Nubars are from the Sweet Nothings Collection. I've talked about that collection earlier, because I wanted Iced Licorice. The other colors looked nice as well, so I picked up the collection pack. The colors are somewhat sheer but buildable. The lemming wheel shows 3 coats. They have very nice micro glitter. I'm excited to see how they will compare with the China Glaze summer collection.

Eyeko Nail Polishes - Free International Shipping

Just wanted to share this offer with you guys: Free international shipping on Eyeko nail polishes. I haven't ordered from them before, but I did order a couple of these guys. I'll share pictures when I recieve them.

They only have 6 different colors so far. I ordered 4 of them (I didn't get the bright pink and the black).

Zoya's Spring Collection 2009: Twist

Zoya's spring collection "Twist" is now up for pre-order on www.artofbeauty.com. Some of them look very promising. I like the look of "Jo" (shimmeing silver blue metallic) and "Cassi" (soft shimmering peach). I hope Cassi has golden shimmer, but I'm not sure it (she?) does.

Another Haul: Nubar on sale!

I can't resist a sale, and we don't get many good sales in Denmark. Aromatique has Nubar's Trendy 1 Collection on sale. This is what I got:

Brown Gold Glitter, Illuminating Apricot, Lavender Shimmer

Orange Crush, Orange Glitter, Pasadena Purple

Pixie Dust, Purple Glitter, Purple Rain Glitter

Walnut (wasn't on sale) and China Glaze Octagon Wild and Tickle My Triangle

The two China Glazes were free. Very nice of them. I don't even think they carry that brand! Honestly I did buy a bit more than what I've shown here, but lets try to pretend my shopping is under control...

My Biggest Lemming: Nfu-Oh Cuticle Oils and more

Lemming (from Urban Dictionary): A lemming refers to a purchase/wished-for-item which results from reading an enthusiastic post about a new fabulous product. Overcome by compulsion, readers follow like lemmings diving off a cliff.

Lemming:

Cute, right?

Now here is my biggest lemming:

Lets have another one:

Beeeeeaaaauuuuuutil. These gorgeous little lemmings are Nfu-Oh Cuticle Oils. I believe the green one is Peppermint and the red one is Rose. Ahhhhhhh, look at the packaging:

In my not very humble opinion, this is the most beautiful nail care/polish packaging on the market. There is only one problem (well except for that thing about them costing money and all): The only place I can buy them is in New Zealand and it costs a lot to have them shipping. On top of that I'd had to pay a horrendeous fee + customs + toll.... No thanks. I have contacted my ebay Nfu-Oh pusher to see if she can get a hold of them. I still have hope!

Update: My Nfu pusher informed me that she can indeed get a hold of the cuticle oils. If you are interested; I suggest contacting her through ebay.
