Miss D - Catch Up For Coffee

Miss D is an Australian brand attached to accessories store, Diva.

I bought these with low expectations.  As Diva is an accessories store predominantly, I figured these would be pretty terrible.  Kind of like an afterthought rather than a product they would invest time in perfecting.  I know, faulty assumption to make but, hey, I'm old and I'm allowed to be cynical.

But, oh, how I've had to eat my words with this brand (along with some Creme Eggs).  Check out Catch Up For Coffee, an amazing greige.

Gorgeous.  A genuine one-coater.  Glides on a like a dream.

I am utterly impressed.  So much so that, each of the prize packs for this month's giveaway has a Miss D lacquer up for grabs.  Yes, I'm prepared to stake my reputation on these.  They are a wonderful surprise package.

Am totally going back for more of these.  Let's just hope no-one else figures out how good they are and beats me to the counter!

Goddamn, I need some Lippmanns.

 Cashmere Cardigan, I would be happy to take care of you while Miss Nixxy if you're nasty is on holidays.

Lisa has a great layering experiment to share. She's a not so mad scientist.

I don't normally swear on YGN but F*CK ME THIS IS GORGEOUS.

Sheesh, Nihrida has beautiful nails. This is breathtaking.

Orly Holiday 2010........ sorry I'm just wheezing with excitement at these.

Jess' franken has to be seen to be believed.

Spunky. Just spunky.

Sinful Colors - Frenzy

This is my very first time with a Sinful Color.  I'm glad you're all here to witness the lacquer world equivalent of Brenda does it with Dylan during the prom moment.  For those of you who don't understand that reference, you're young enough to be my kids.

Best first time ever. Easy to apply. Never got opaque but that doesn't worry me so much.  Looks like a foil party on my fingers.

Beam me up, Scotty, I've gone into glitter overload.

China Glaze - BFF

Another super quickie from me today. I'm kinda behind on... well.... EVERYTHING....  Plus my Director is overseas next week so I'm trying to get a whole lot done before he heads off tomorrow night.

Not that I need to sell the following.

Whoever came up with the idea for this collection..... well I just hope they got the world's biggest performance bonus ever.  Off the chain.

Wet n' Wild - Shield

I'm not entirely sure if I like Wet n' Wild's Shield. I guess I was hoping for a subtle, sexy pewter-like colour and what I got was a blinging shimmer that can be seen from space.

What I do like about this lacquer is the way it resembles Orly Foil FX in its finish.  It's like the long lost colour of that collection and could easily slot in.

Am a little hectic at work at the moment so this is a short post. My Director leaves for Beijing tomorrow so I'm busy trying to get things done for him before he goes.  Be good and I'll see y'all tomorrow.
