Olympia Beauty 2011
Hello everyone!
Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Yesterday, Sunday 18th and Monday 19th of September, were days I had been looking forward to for nearly two months! The reason? It was the the Olympia Beauty event in Kensington Olympia, London.
BIG woooooo!
...Anyways, more about that in a minute. First let me show you guys the manicure I did for the event. Seeing as I blog about Nails, I wanted to create a really special, completely blinged out Mani for the event.
This is what I came up with:
Nail Expo Special Mani!
A close up-
Pretty, no?
For this Mani, first of all I used two coats of Orly Dazzle, then two coats of OPI Crown Me Already!, then glued a Swarovski crystal onto each nail with nail glue.
It came out pretty cool I think, I felt a bit like GaGa or something- this is one impractical manicure! Still, I got lots of compliments on them whilst going round all the stalls, so that was nice.
To start, can I just say, omg! The event was so much fun!
OPI was there, as was Nubar, China Glaze, Color Club, Essie, Jessica and more!
Here's a video I shot on my phone- as you can see, it was busy, busy busy!
Olympia Beauty Event
Some pictures of the stalls:
The OPI stall was insanely busy the whole time! -Look at those brand new, unavailable in shops Muppets Mini packs! I picked one up, of course! Swatches coming soon... :)
To prove how busy the OPI stall was all the time, here's a picture of the queue:
OPI Mania! (And yes, in case you were wondering, the queue was this long all the time! Go OPI!)
...And who can blame people when OPI was being sold at trade price!? Discontinued Lacquers were discounted to £3.00!
£3.00 OPI's!? Thank you very much!
I also had a lot of fun getting my greedy little polish loving mitts on some lemmings I've had for certain polishes from other brands:

Here's the Nubar Stall:

Discontinued Lacquers at Nubar were only £2.00!
What a bargain!
The Color Club stall was brilliant. I was really excited to see this stall here because I've only ever seen Color Club available on the Internet. It was great to see all the shades in person...

And some general shots of the Exhibition Centre:

As you can guess, I was loving every minute of it!
My Top 5 new acquisitions from the Expo are (in no particular order):
* China Glaze Skyscraper
* OPI DS Temptation
* Color Club Wish Upon A Rock-Star
* Nubar Purple Rain Glitter
* OPI I Brake For Manicures
Lots of new swatches to come soon for your viewing pleasure!
Have a great day, everyone! :)

Italian Haul! Mamma Mia!
Hi lovely people!
Today I've got a little Italian haul I got the other day to show you.
I bought these three polishes in an Italian 'high street' style store called OVS. They had a really good nail polish section in there, with plenty of different polishes in there, some of which are available on their website. Here is the link if you wanna check it out:
http://www.deborahmilano.com/en/sub-subcategory.php?id=132
So, to the fun stuff- what I picked up! I wanted colours that I hadn't really seen elsewhere, unique, more unusual sorts of colours. With that in mind, here's what I got:
L-R: From the Deborah 'Pret a Porter' line, no. 26, next from Deborah's 'Debby' line, no. 113, and from Deborah's 'Shine Tech' line, no. 18!
There! One polish from different Deborah lines- I was very eclectic in my choices, no? :)
Anyways, about the polishes, from what I can tell going by bottle shade alone-
No. 26 looks like a very pretty pale baby blue foil. Looks like it will be a stunner for a cool 'frosty' Winter mani.
No. 113 looks like a beautiful purple/gold duochrome shimmer. I'm actually extremely interested to swatch this alongside 'It's MY Year' from OPI's Miss Universe collection, to see which I prefer. That should make for a very interesting comparison which'll be featuring on here shortly! Stay tuned for that!
No.18 looks like a pure black base with multicoloured very fine glitter running through it. Think more of a finer China Glaze 'Fairy Dust' suspended in a black base than the original version of OPI MPJ.
I think all of these polishes look really nice!
The first one from the three that I decided to do a Mani with was....
No. 18! My nails are short (at least by my standards!) at the moment, so I'm liking the darker colours at this time....
...Check the next post for my Deborah No. 18 review!
Happy polishing, everyone! :)

Sephora Nail Products :)
Hi!
I went to Nice (France) yesterday with my shopping buddy for the day, my Mum, and among other shops, we popped into Sephora.
I didn't buy any of the polishes in there, I prefer the bigger brands like OPI, Orly, China Glaze, etc. as I think their colours are much more unique a lot of the time, but for a quick hit, the Sephora colours are alright, and the colour range is pretty good.
Sephora colour selection. (Sorry the image quality's not the best, I shot this on my iphone!)
Sephora Europe doesn't have Sephora by OPI like it does in the US, which I personally way prefer, but its normal range is fairly good. Here are some colours from their Summer collection:
Summer at Sephora! As you can see, the colours are all €4.90 per piece, and to be honest, I think this is pretty expensive for how much you get. The bottles are cute, but they're pretty small.
Sephora also does a range of 'Nail Patch Art,' their answer to Minx...
Here is the shot of all the different options:
Nail Patch Art, by Sephora
-Have you tried these out, or any from another brand, such as the original, Minx, or Nails Inc or any other? I never have, but I'm very curious, and would definitely sample one and review it on here.
If you have any tips or recommendations, let me know, gals!

OPI Glacier Bay Blues
Hi people!
So I went shopping in my local town centre today and popped into a couple of Nail Salons. There was nothing much in the first one, unfortunately.
I had gone dusty hunting in the hope of finding a bottle of Mad As a Hatter or something nice and glittery like that.
Instead, I found something in the second salon I went to which is, in my humble opinion, much better than MAAH. Sure, MAAH is cool, lovely and glittery, but the colour I found today is a stunning HTF multichrome!
It's OPI's Glacier Bay Blues, from OPI's long retired Canadian collection!
I was SO happy to find this today! I never thought I'd see it in person, unless I resorted to Ebay, which I didn't want to do- So, WOW! I'm so thrilled to finally have this in my collection!
I took quite a few photos of this one to showcase the fantastic multichrome. Honestly, this polish is STUNNING. It reminds me of a beautiful peacock.
