Latest OPI Purchase

My OPI order arrived from Ball Beauty this morning (http://www.ballbeauty.com/ - I can't recommend them enough!) so this should tide me over til August when the Spain collection comes out.

From L to R - Princesses Rule! Done out in Deco, Banana Bandana, Royal Rajah Ruby

1st coat - I could've left RRR and PR at just one coat... DoiD and BB were a bit weak.


Second Coat - Personally I prefer Princesses Rule with just one.

And finally in the sunshine - Banana Bandana in the end needed 3 coats.

I bought Royal Rajah Ruby as a Chanel Rouge Noir dupe since I hate the formula and although it isn't identical, it's certainly good enough. I actually think the India collection (RRR) is one of my favourites. Never had a bad formula and the colours were all wearable.

Princesses Rule! is a pink version of Hollywood Blonde. Absolutely adore both of them.

Done out in Deco is a little bit too similar to Parlez Vouz OPI (I really try and avoid similar colours at this stage of my collection - I'm up to 20 or so!) but out of the two I prefer DoiD.

Finally Banana Bandana. A runny formula, but I've been craving a yellow polish for ages. Much nicer yellow than the mustard tinged one from the Bright Power collection, BB is a really bright creme.

For $800 One Could Buy...

1 YSL YMail Bi-Fold Wallet

Saddles

Calleija Saddle Ring Love the shape of these. I think it would flatter my large fingers beautifully. Prices start from $3950 http://www.calleija.com.au/

And for comparison, a Bates Isabell saddle, priced at around $2000. Named after Isabell Werth, German dressage rider.

Deep Patents

These dark metallic patents are grand. Rich with a healthy lustre, these colours basically go with anything in my opinion. Sadly I think the only item on the list to fit the budget this year will be the OPI but I might possibly save for the wallet since I always need a new one and am just in love with the colour.

Fashion, Media and All Things Edible

It was only after I came up with the idea for a 360 degree sneeze guard in general conversation that I realised it existed, not in the fashion world, but in the food hygiene world.

Sadly my vision was more theatrical, plus I strongly believed it could be a fashionable statement that would take its form by way of a hat.

I hope this blog will give you a taste for fashion, media and all things edible at different intervals throughout the years ahead.
