This Wasn't Supposed to Happen

Ever have one of those days where you need to buy very mundane objects, and come home with a small loot of your favourite things? 

Me too.

All I needed to buy was felt to make a felt board rainbow, a cookie tray for a game for the kinders, and a concealer...and just look what happened!!

I went to buy my sister a candle since she has been lusting over my collection recently, and they had half price yankee candles! Half price! Throw in that it is my favourite discontinued scent (Natures Paintbrush) and I had to grab all the remaining jars (luckily for my bank account there were only two). 

Then I went to buy concealer, which I did. But of course they have to put the Essie stand at the front of the shop, which is how Fishnet Stockings ended up in my cart.

Then I went to Kmart for the cookie tray. Obviously when one is in Kmart one has to wander around, and stumble across a favourite childhood movie, and then this adorable notebook set (those are gold foil hearts) reduced to only $3 left over from mothers day, and then on the way out discover that my local store now stocks elf cosmetics (blush in twinkle pink, and matte lip colour in tea rose, both $8). 

Yeah, this wasn't supposed to happen.

Nailed It...California Coral

Time for a new blog segment, and one that I believe will stay alive too! I love painting my nails (I blame going to a strict all girls school where nail polish was banned) and I love looking at pictures of different nail polishes so why not merge the two and post my own manicures. I can't promise this to be an every week thing because sometimes I will really be feeling a colour/not have time to repaint my nails, however when I do change it up I'll let you know. 


The colour I am currently rocking is essie's California Coral. Being a cool toned person I generally shy away from corals and other warmer colours as they aren't very flattering on me. However I love the look of coral nails in Summer and took the plunge with this polish last Summer and have loved it ever since! 

Don't you just love how my pale hands blend flawlessly into the walls

If you would like to purchase your own little bottle of Summer you can do so at the essie website here

Or if you live in Australia you can purchase it online here. Or in store at Priceline (it's not showing up on their website) or Myers (also not showing up but I know they used to stock essie polishes).
