Turquoise Ombre + Polish Haul

Dear Nail Diary,

Long time no see again.  I still haven't been in the blogging mood until just recently.  Plus every time I had blog-worthy nails, I forgot to take photos of them!  I've just had a huge polish haul (which you can read about after the jump,) and as I was swatching them, I saw this cool sort of ombre effect develop - so I decided to apply it to my nails.

The lightest is two coats of Nails Inc's Swan Street, which is from their The New White collection.  Next two coats of Nails Inc's Belsize Lane, then Ciatè's Pepperminty and Maybelline's Turquoise Lagoon.  On my thumb is Ciatè's Headliner.

Lola Barcelona Free Sample Swatches

Dear Nail Diary,

I've been a subscriber to Birchbox for 4 months now.  This month I received a free sample of Lola Barcelona nail polish.  It's an orangey coral colour called Rambla.  It's not a colour I would have picked for myself, but it looks rather nice - very Summery.  My mom also subscribes and she received a dark pink called Gracia.  Again not a shade either of us would have chosen.

Polish Haul

Dear Nail Diary,

Sorry this post is a bit late, but I've been busy updating X99 and making jewellery and Christmas decorations.
Today I've decided to share my latest additions to my polish collection, as jewellery making isn't really conducive to a neat manicure!  I'm currently wearing my chipped polish from last Monday - terrible, I know. :(

Warning: Photo heavy post!

Nail Accessories Haul

Dear Nail Diary,

Just received my goodies from America!  I'm still awaiting my Butter London haul, but I thought I'd show you what I have to keep me occupied until then.

Bundle Monster is my favourite place to get cheap nail art stuffs.  They sell other stuff too like beauty products and jewellery.  You can get them from Amazon too, but I have found it cheaper to buy directly from their website - even with customs charges!  They have a sale on currently for a Mystery Surprise Nail Art Kit - $4.99 instead of $15.99!  All kits are picked at random and this is what I received in mine...
