Silver snowflakes - my first adventure into stamping!

Wow - this is embarrassing. My soon to be sister in law very kindly gave me a wonderful gift for my birthday, a Konad stamping kit. I was thrilled and resolved to start stamping asap. 4 months later......

But better late than never. And as it's Christmas, what other stamp could I use, but snowflakes:)

The base coat is Accessorize Electric Purple. I used Barry M Silver Foil Effects for the stamping and Bourjois It's Raining Stars for my silver glitter accent nail. 

This was hard work; I stamped off centre to disguise the fact that I struggled to get the whole image on my nail! Some of these took several attempts, but I have to admit I'm pretty pleased with them. 

Holiday haul!

As promised guys, here's my South American haul - I was bad, very bad:) 

Holiday + birthday + engagement = muchas polish. 

 China Glaze for £8 a bottle - got to love that exchange rate:) L to R: Red Essence, Innocence, Secrets, Water You Waiting For.

 OPI polishes for about £9.50 - God bless duty free shopping in airports! 

Mod About You and Gold Shatter.

 Random Argentinian drugstore - unnamed, yummy glitters! Nommy nommy:) 

Another random Argentinian drugstore - oh well, if you will sell polish for £1.50, I will buy it! 

Revlon polish for £4? Okay! Whimsical and Hearts of Gold FX

Ooooops, nipped into another drugstore.........these worked out about £1 each - the fact that I only bought 2 was a miracle. And also enforced by my bf, who eventually manhandled me out the shop lol! 

And then...........it was my birthday, and my bf's lovely sister bought me these goodies - unbelievable:) 

A Konad stamping kit - flipping AMAZEBALLS! 

A small round up

I've died and gone to heaven:)
