China Glaze Monsters Ball Collection for Halloween 2013

I love glitter, I do... but then you'll know this if you've been a regular reader of this blog; and so when I spy a glitter nail polish, my interest is automatically piqued, just like it was when I spotted these glitter-fabulous China Glaze 'Monsters Ball' collection images in my inbox today.

The shades are as follows (from left to right reads from top to bottom):
 
Ghoulish Glow: Glow-in-the-Dark top coat
Howl You Doin’: Shadowy purple glitter
Fang-Tastic: Mysteriously mixed up green, blue and magenta glitter
Boo-Gie Down: Multi-sized orange, black and white glitter
Bat My Eyes: Ominous gold glitter
Bump In The Night: Hair-raising black texture

I'm totally eying up the whole collection, especially the purple and gold glitter shades, oh and also the black texture too... so if I absolutely *had* to choose just 3, I'm thinking that those would be the ones I'd be choosing.

What do you think my lovelies? Do you like the look of the collection, are there any shades in particular that you must have in your life?

Professional Beauty Nubar & China Glaze Nail Polish Haul!

First off, sorry for my lack of posting, I've been a bad blogger (and not very organised) as I didn't get a chance to schedule any posts whilst away from home over the weekend!

Yesterday I went to Professional Beauty North @ Manchester Central (although if you're like me, you actually still call it the GMEX) and whilst I wasn't there as long as I'd have liked (Mr Beauty Scoop was bored!), you'll be pleased to know that I still managed to have quite a large nail polish spending spree.

Nubar Sparkles Collection!

I bought 20 Nubar polishes, including the full Prisms collection as I love the look of the holographic finishes, all but the silver G180 polish from the Sparkle collection since I already own that one (and have blogged about it HERE!), and Reclaim, the green holographic polish from the Going Green collection. I also bought a few random sparkly ones that I think I'll use as topcoats to make plainer polishes twinkle!

 China Glaze 'Let it Snow' Seasonal Sparkles Set!

 China Glaze 'Let it Snow' Belle of the Ball Set!

From China Glaze I bought 2 Christmas sets (I would have bought more but they had sold out(!) on the first day) including Seasonal Sparkles that contains Poinsettia, Twinkle Lights and Holly-Day polishes, and the Belle of the Ball set that contains Champagne Bubbles and Tinsel Town polishes and a bauble - I have a few more bits from the Christmas/Holiday 2011 'Let it snow' collection coming from America too, I'll show you when they arrive!

L-R: It's Alive, Señorita Bonita,Ruby Pumps, Ahoy, 108 Degrees, Pool Party!

I also bought 6 other China Glaze polishes including 108 Degrees, Señorita Bonita, Pool Party, Ahoy, It's Alive and Ruby Pumps!!

I'd have loved to have spent more time (and money) there but after leaving early, and remembering how packed it was on the Monday last year, I decided to quit whilst I was ahead and order some more bits online at some point. I don't think I did too badly, do you?

Did anybody else go to Professional Beauty? If so, what, if anything did you buy? x

China Glaze 'Haunting' Halloween 2011 Collection!

I think this collection from China Glaze for Halloween 2011 sums up Halloween almost perfectly, without being too 'out there'... I do think a nice rusty orange would have been a great addition, but this still looks like a fabulous collection all the same.

I think all the shades look great but I am especially interested in the glow in the dark topcoat. I'll update this with more information and photographs when I receive them later in the day, but I just wanted to get this 'out there' as soon as possible. Will tweet when updated.

Are any of the shades screaming *must have* to you?

China Glaze's 2012 'Eye Candy' 3D Glitter Polish!

I saw this photograph on Polish Galore's Twitter feed recently (from her visit to Cosmoprof, North America) and just had to post about them! What do you think? Personally, I love the look of them and can't wait until they're released (probably next year from what her feed says) - hopefully we will get them over here, unlike the ill-fated (but oh so gorgeous) Tronica collection that Sally's UK decided against stocking!

Haul - China Glaze Nail Polish!

I’ve been spending a bit lately... I really shouldn’t as there’s about a bazillion things that I *should* be saving for, but pretty things keep catching my eye and I am weak! So, I have decided to start posting my hauls more regularly (I'll try to do them as I get them) so that you can see what I've been buying lately!

Anyway, the first haul post is from yesterday, when I received a package containing some China Glaze polish that I ordered from America. It arrived in super quick time – so much so that I may just have to put in another order very soon to take advantage of the quick shipping!

Anyway, here are my goodies - individual swatches to come soon! I got 4 crackle polishes (not the metallic ones, although I expect I will get those too) and 4 random non-crackle polishes!

L-R: Fault Line, Cracked Concrete, Broken Hearted and Crushed Candy!

L-R: Doll House, C-C-Courage, Mango Madness and Grape Juice!

I also bought Seche Base as I am currently trying to find products to cure or at least hide (very well) the pitting on my nails and make them smooth (or just appear it) like they used to be!

Can't wait to try them all out!
