Nail Mail from Priceline

I won a giveaway that Priceline was having, celebrating beauty with a give-away each day for the month of July! I was one of the lucky winners of the Press and Go prize packs!!

These were my prizes!!! I received 4 of the KISS Nail Dress nail strips and 4 of the Press-On Manicures!!!

The Nail Dress strips I received!
One of the Nail Dress strips and one of the Press on manicure prizes are missing from my pictures because I gave them to my sister-in-law to try :)

Press & Go Manicure prizes!

I've never tried either of these types of products but I'm excited at the idea of a quick manicure :) I really hope these products are as good as advertised! Have you tried any of these products before?

Nail Mail from Casandra

I was one of the winners from Casandra's at The Mani-Logues One Year Blogaversary and I thought it was time I posted my lovelies :) i have to start by saying THESE ARE MY FIRST INDIE POLISHES!! Can you imagine just how much I was bouncing off the walls when my package arrived!

I forgot to take a picture of them wrapped which was hilarious because they came safely packed in a diaper and my brother was watching me open my package and became extremely curious as to what the hell I got when the diaper came out :) Hilarity ensued!

Since I was super excited I took a photo immediately before I remembered to shake them :) I got Alter Ego Desert Storm Trigger Puller, Alter Ego Penny Pincher and a sample of FEVERshadow Beach night loose eye powder :)

My pretties just seconds after I unwrapped them :)
I love how these are packaged! The label on the front and back are really professionally done and I love that there are instructions and ingredients listed. Casandra was sweet enough to send my a surprise sample of one of her loose eye powders!

After I had calmed down and mixed them up

Love this note! It's embarrassing just how happy this note made me! And for some reason the cute of the note really made my day, it looks like a flower to me :)

How cute is this note! I love the shape!!!
I'm so crazy happy and unbelievably appreciative to Casandra for her amazing generosity and to Cynthia, the creator of Alter Ego, for providing these polishes in the giveaway :) I almost don't want to use these polishes because I'm still so in awe of them! I finally understand what nail bloggers mean when they talk about their indie polishes arriving and how amazing they are in person XD

Nail Mail from Karine!

So I've been meaning to post this since FOREVER but kept pushing it back in favour of my nails posts. But at least the time has come :)

I won a giveaway over at Karinea0a and the package actually arrived on my birthday :) BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!

 My beauties all carefully wrapped!


Oh my precious!
 Ok so my photo really sucks as Cutie Pie and Trendy have amazing colour shifts. Can I just say I was jumping off the walls when I got these! My first HITS polishes!!! The first HITS I ever saw were swatches of the No Olimpo collection and I instantly fell in love! I'm so crazy happy to add these amazing polishes to my collection!

HITS Cutie Pie, HITS Trendy, HITS Progressivo and HITS Brit Pop
 The lovely note from Karine :) I'm such a sucker for these notes!
 
Awwwww
Thank You so much Karine!! I can't express how happy I am to have these polishes in my possession. I have been wanting to buy HITS polishes for ages but haven't had the money so winning this giveaway was unbelievable and the package arriving on my birthday was like the icing on the cake!


Now on a random note to any of my readers that might be in/near/around Perth, have any of you been to the new Coventry Square Markets in Morley? I am in love with that place! There's a stall there called Save A Lot that I visit every time I go there. They sell toiletries, personal care products, cosmetics and perfumes - but I'm sure you can guess what I look for :) The sell Maybelline and Revlon polishes for AUD$5 that you often see on Ozsale. They also have a display of older Sinful Colors polishes - the first SC I've seen in Perth. The have Sally Hansen, Essie and a bunch of other brands of nail polish that I hadn't seen before and can't remember right now lol! They had full sized bottle of Essie Braziliant for AUD$5!!



Essie Braziliant and Super Bossa Nova, Revlon Royal, Essie Meet Me At Sunset and Smooth Sailing

I got these two Essie mini packs, each were AUD$7, and the Revlon polish was only AUD$5. When I was there they were having a stocktake sale so they had 20% off everything in store!

Even though the sale is now finished this is the cheapest I have ever seen these polishes. As you might have guessed I can't wait to head back and see what new stock they have as they were still filling the shelves when I was there last.

Nail Mail from Bethany!

Yay another early birthday present! Lol not really but that's how it feels to me :) I won a giveaway over at A Plethora Of Nails and was over the moon happy! You'll see why...

First up these amazing Revlons! I had been looking at getting some of these as soon as Priceline had some kind of deal on but they're really expensive here. Hence, why I was SO happy to win these in Bethany's giveaway :)

Revlon Whimsical, Popular, Facets Of Fuchsia and Radiant
My first Claire's polish!! I have been dying to get these three polishes since they've been popping up on many nail blogs taunting me with their gorgeous photos >.<

Claire's Candy Shop, Sinful Colors Cinderella and Essence Choose Me!
Every single polish that Bethany sent me was on my wishlist, not to mention mostly dupes of more expensive brands, so I couldn't have been more happy! I can't thank Bethany enough for sending me these gorgeous polishes and my package arrived so quickly. I swear looking at these goodies I'm like a kid in a candy shop unable to make up my mind of what to try first lol :)

Nail Mail from Sarah!

I was one of the winners of the 1000 Follower Giveaway over at The Giveaway Lifestyle. There were 4 winners and I was drawn 3rd so I didn't think I would get my first choice but I did! It's taken me awhile to get this post up but my package arrived from Sarah just over a week after she sent it - how crazy quick is that from the US to Aus!

Everything was perfectly packaged and opening the box was like opening a present on Christmas morning!

Everything was perfectly wrapped!
 Everything unwrapped! I left it like this for awhile just looking at the pretties :)

Look at these beauties!

I was so happy to get these since I don't own any Spoiled polishes! Also Ants In My Pants and Shuffle The Deck were on my wish list from seeing gorgeous swatches floating about the nail polish community :)

Spoiled Shuffle The Deck, Paying With Platinum and Ants In My Pants

My first Sinful Colors polishes! Also on my wishlist was Green Ocean which I was so happy to receive!! Bikini looks to be a gorgeous bright neon pink and I can't wait to try it out since I have almost no neon polishes.

Sinful Colors Bikini and Green Ocean
Yay my first Nubar too :) Nubar Indigo Illusion was the very reason I chose this prize pack! I was jumping for joy when I unwrapped this beauty :) IMO Fairy Dust should be a staple in every nail polish lovers collection!

Nubar Indigo Illusion and China Glaze Fairy Dust
Always good to have nail files for on the go! And you can never have enough cuticle cream! I LOVE Burt's Bees Lemon Butter and always use it after painting my nails :)

Ms Manicure Mini Salon Boards and Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

 The lovely note from Sarah :)

Very sweet card from Sarah :)
I have to give a HUGE thank you Sarah for sending me these wonderful prizes. Because of Sarah I have my first Sinful Colors, Nubar and Spoiled polishes! Not to mention all the polishes Sarah crossed off my wishlist :) I was so happy to be one of the winners of this giveaway especially since May is my birthday month so it was like receiving an early birthday present!!

Nail Mail from Cathy and Essence!

I won the Need More Nails Giveaway and my polishes arrived today! It so good to have to wait less than a week for mail to arrived :) Look at those bubble wrapped beauties!!

My precious!!!!
I only recently started buying Ulta3 and it's quickly becoming one of my favourite cheap brands, easily available here in Australia. Cathy send me Waterlily, Bo Peep, Pacific Fever and Kiwi Kaos!!!

Ulta3 Waterlily, Bo Peep, Pacific Fever, Kiwi Kaos
Thank you so much Cathy! The colours she picked are gorgeous and I'm already debating over which one to wear first and how to wear it :)


 OK so you might remember this epic brush!


Well a representative from Essence replied to my email about my damaged brush and offer to send out a replacement. They sent me a whole new bottle of Hunt Me If You Can, instead of the brush  I was expecting, as well as some extra unexpected goodies!!

My Hunt Me If You Can replacement and extra goodies!!
 Along with my new bottle (and brush!!) they sent me a perfume and a shimmer powder from the Vampire's Love collection. I was extremely happy these, especially the shimmer powder since I've been looking to buy one and now I don't have to :)

I love nail mail :) I even love knowing nail mail is on the way!!

Nail Mail from Carina!

I won the China Glaze Magnetix Giveaway over at Carinae L'etoile's Polish Stash and it arrived yesterday! OMG I am SO HAPPY! When I saw the box I was just so excited and couldn't wait, although it took  me an embarrassingly long time to finally get it open lol.

Want to see? Of course you do :) I would have shown you how safely everything was wrapped but I was way too excited and impatient to take photos oops!

It took me awhile to get through all the tape lol
This was what I won:

China Glaze Magnetix Instant Chemistry, Attraction, Cling On, Drawn To You, Pull Me Close, You Move Me and the Magnet

I was so happy to have won this giveaway because I don't own any magnetic polishes and was looking forward to trying them :) I can't believe I won the entire set!

And then there was ALL OF THIS!!!!!!!!
 
Look at all these extra goodies!!!!
I wasn't expecting so much extra! We had a bit of trouble with the shipping and Carina said she would be adding some extra items as a sorry for the trouble but I had NO IDEA how much extra she would add! I think she's qualified for Sainthood lol.

I'm sorry but I'm still doing a happy dance and have been smiling non-stop since the package arrived. So close ups of the added goodies:

Zoya Opal, Maise and Chloe
I was over the moon when I saw she had sent me the entire Zoya Fleck Effects collection. When this first came out and I saw swatches of them they were instant lemmings of mine although I had no idea how I was going to get them. I only have one poor flakie polish so I am eager to add these to my stash :)

Color Club Nouveau Vintage and Alter Ego
Carina also sent me Nouveau Vintage from the Back To Boho collection and Alter Ego from the Alter Ego collection. I swear it's like she was reading my mind! I loved both these gorgeous shimmer polishes from each of these collections and was hoping to eventually get them but Carina beat me to it!

Nails Inc Magnetic Polish House Of Parliament and Whitehall
My first Nails Inc polishes!!! And they're magnetic to boot! She did it again! These were my two picks from the Nails Inc magnetic polishes and she sent me them both! Wow I think I'm running out of exclamation marks but there are more coming.
Butter London Knees Up
 MY FIRST BUTTER LONDON! I swear I almost died when unwrapping this. All I kept thinking was it couldn't possibly be a Butter London polish (since I was guessing from the shape) and almost screamed when it was. I can't wait to try this one on, it's such a gorgeous vibrant red. I love reds!

Barielle Love Your Nails Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover Towelettes
I didn't know Barielle did nail polish remover towelettes but I've seen these wipes popping up on nail blogs. I can't wait to try these out, they will definitely come in handy!

Aww she's so nice!
And the lovely note that Carina wrote :)

Phew! Thank you so much Carina!  I am overwhelmed at all my amazing goodies and don't know what to try first. I think I'm still on overload! Carina did such an amazing job and I love everything that she sent me. Please do check out her blog - it's amazing and her pictures make me so jealous!
