Spoiled Rotten

I think I've been a very lucky girl this Christmas! Whole ton of beauty related gifts from my dad, yay!



Lauren Luke's book, a Linda Mason book I've had my eye on for quite a while, GHD IV stylers, all the Konad plates on my wishlist, and a UV gel nails kit - I'm kinda intimidated by this! I definitely won't be jumping straight in with the tips, I'll start off doing gel overlays on my natural nails. Also pictured are Lush Snow Fairy, Collection 2000 Glam Metallics in Vinyl (Silver) and Ripped (Purple), and Glam Glitter Wand in Showbiz (Black) from my younger sister. I always avoid talking about Lush on my blog, because I used to work there and since they got big in America I feel like they've really sold out. Hmph. :(

Anyways! I'm FINALLY going to spend a week with my gorgeous boy from tomorrow so reviews on most/all of these things will be up in the New Year. I'm going to try and schedule a couple of posts for the week I'm away if I can find the time today. ^_^

Oh oh oh! And here's the mani I actually ended up with on Christmas Day - I painted them with China Glaze Emerald Sparkle late on Christmas Eve, then after receiving new Konad plates from my dad I added this design from plate M73 with China Glaze Passion, and finished with China Glaze Wireless Holographic topcoat. Very festive, right? :D



I hope you all had a fantastic day and got spoiled rotten like I did, hehe. Let me know in the comments what you got! I'd love to hear :D
