Contest Details:
- So the prize is the MiniMe Lit Kit which is shown above

So the winner gets the prize as an early Christmas present ;) And for those still wondering - YES THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY.

Few rules: Please don´t spam. Open for all ages and genders. One entry per person. If you have multiple comments about the favorite glitter, I´ll count them as one. Good luck to all!"

Sugarplum Fairy

♥

 Color Club seems to be my newest polish love :) I saw both of these polishes on Charming Nails blog. And drooled so much, I had to order both immediately. And I haven´t regreted ether one!

Sugarplum Dairy is an amazing lilac holo glitter and the Foil me once is perfect metallic pink/lilac.

Instant love for me, how about you?

Funny story: I was shopping at Stockmann´s Beauty department for Armani products and the saleswoman actually got more interested in these nails than me buying something :D

Little Miss Delicious

This has GOT to be my most spontanious purchase _ever_. Some while ago I run across one facebook page and I liked the colors and cute things I saw there, so I "liked" the page. But since I was in a hurry, I forgot all about that page and brand afterwards. Suddenly few days later, an update pops into my Facebook homepage.

"We're offering 15 lucky customers the chance to own £50 worth of Little Miss Delicious goodies for a jaw dropping £15! Each pack contains a selection of cute surprises, including necklaces, bracelets, magnets and more. No two packs are the same, and they will sell out VERY fast - so don't miss out!"

I listened my instincts without any thoughts, clicked to their website and ordered! ...without thinking :D...without actually even knowing what I might be getting x)

The package was a bit smaller of what I had been waiting for, but still did not fit into my mail box ;D

The first thing that caught my attention: the cutest princess/hime hair comb :3 I feel like I could seriously eat the decoration on it!!

other side up

Cookie earrings! X____________X How cute! I love these the most. Also very edible :P

Cherry earrings, these I found quite ordinary. I bet I could find something similar in a normal yewelry store.

And a donut necklace :D Actually, if you add any one of these to you costume, it will stand out. I noticed this when I was wearing this necklace at work with just normal work clothes, it really stood out :P IN a cute way!

It´s a shame that I didn´t get any bracelets or rings :( Also I would have wanted a colorful donut! :/ Check out Little Miss Delicious blog here :)

I also went to Gina Tricot some while ago.. And told me that I couldn´t buy anything. I still did. When I´m not supposed to buy anything, I buy even more. *sigh* Anyone know this feeling?

So I got a matching bracelet and a necklace :)

Size 1 is actually really similar with the electrics.. Just a little bit easier to work with.

I don´t mind you keeping me on pins and needles

China Glaze - Blue Iguana

 Ahhhhhh I LOVE this blue! It has a sheer violet shimmer to it - altho the picture doesn´t show.

 And the polish was also so very lasting! I forgot to add a top coat but still the manicure lasted very clean for over a week o_O Aka no chipping or breaking - none.

 Last Saturday I was at a friends house-warming party! Hoo, and after that we moved to downtown to Base. Which was very FULL. Almost didn´t get in!

With Marjut and Rosi... And Valtteri behind us.

 Do notice our really different and outstanding hair colors x) Magenta//pink, nuclear red and lavender \o/

 I was wearing a skirt I ordered from Australia like ages ago, never worn before ! :D What a waste! (I had piled a lot of other skirts on top of it so I kinda forgot It´s existence :P)

also a Spirit Store boots... worn many many times.

 I took a picture of Rosi´s leather jacket´s studs :P Neat, huh? Somehow reminds me of Lady Gaga (now that the picture is in Black and White.)

Rosi got a flower necklace while I was in a bathroom :DD

Haven´t lately been feeling like writing, thus so little from me also this time. I do have a lot of pictures, just nothing to say :D I hate these long dark days when it just rains all the time and you feel like there is only but darkness everywhere.

Foil me once



Color Club - Foil Me Once

 Why have I not found Color Club polishes before?? Pretty bad lighting in the upper picture (that´s why I still don´t have decent makeup pictures to post about) but It´ll have to do. I wanted to share a few cool nail blogs that I have found!

Sonnela

the Nail Addict

Charming Nails

Be sure to check them out :) Great swatches and great designs !

 Also a neutral work look! And I already started dying my hair bit colder ;)

Just a bunch of Inglot colors and Lime Crime´s Diva magic dust ~

...yeah, this is super short entry. I haven´t had time to do _anything_ blog related, sorry!
