Hi lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a bit of an update from IG - <br />
a few products that I had reviewed for the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">BornPrettyStore</a> back in March.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I received these lovely water decals for review. <br />
You may remember I do love to use them - very simple and easy!<br />
If you'd like a step-by-step tutorial, please have a look at <a href="http://www.morenailpolish.com/2013/05/guest-blogger-natalia-from-cats-n-nails.html">this post</a> I did for Cathy <br />
at <a href="http://www.morenailpolish.com/">More Nail Polish</a> last year.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For the base colour I used one of my favorite neutrals - ORLY Decades of Dysfunction</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The water decals very very high quality and easy to use - I loved this delicate pattern!</div>
You can find a selection <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/sheet-colored-floral-flower-patterns-nail-water-decals-transfer-stickers-p-8095.html">here</a>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up, I received <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/5pcs-mini-round-sponge-stamp-gradient-nail-p-12145.html">a special gradient sponge</a> that I used to create this St Patrick's day design:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a combination of KIKO greens and topped using a lovely glitter topper by Penelope Luz<br />
(available from <a href="http://color4nails.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_114&product_id=230#.U4QrVnKSz0c">Color4Nails</a>)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sponge has a little handle (like on a stamper), which I found handy,</div>
and it comes with 5 refills - amazing value for money!<br />

I have been thinking..... when I first created this design about a year ago -<br />it was for a guest post, and I feel it went unnoticed - but I loved wearing it so much!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Y-yPqohbzE7tnUrjGcz8jIqEYFNYm8p0N-u6g5qYHV5Jxh3sdFDfx1HDvwWqGYdv7bFGDfoo_2ic8APYalKY-Y9cT0E5V4pTYTEo8k7MWnGkiPESyTz1m5Tg7ejSvlmIf4QZvjJJg4M/s1600/CoverPhoto.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Y-yPqohbzE7tnUrjGcz8jIqEYFNYm8p0N-u6g5qYHV5Jxh3sdFDfx1HDvwWqGYdv7bFGDfoo_2ic8APYalKY-Y9cT0E5V4pTYTEo8k7MWnGkiPESyTz1m5Tg7ejSvlmIf4QZvjJJg4M/s400/CoverPhoto.JPG" width="227" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the original version</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Originally I was inspired by a pair of glam heels that were very "rock-n-roll" - studs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say there isn't a vast improvement, but I didn't have to clean up as much this time around<br /> - hurray for practice making things perfect!</div>

And what a year it's been!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made many new friends and met some amazing people from all over the world</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(check out the <a href="http://cats-n-nails.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/my-birthday-blog-nail-party.html">BIRTHDAY PARTY</a> post)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I discovered IG my blog has been a bit ... neglected, but never fear -<br />
I have some big things planned for August!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The biggest discovery I made in the last 12 months was the world of indie polishes,<br />
here are a couple of intro posts from my fellow Aussie bloggers:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cassie (<a href="http://www.reluctantfemme.com/">Reluntunt Femme</a>) has published <a href="http://www.reluctantfemme.com/2013/08/a-beginners-guide-to-indie-nail-polish.html">A Beginners Guide to Indie Nail Polish</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rose (<a href="http://www.everylittlepolish.com/">Every Little Polish</a>) has done a post on <a href="http://www.everylittlepolish.com/guest-post-on-the-plastic-diaries/">Australian Indie Nail Polish</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both are spectacular and very informative! I hope you dive in and discover all the brands for yourself!<br />
(<a href="http://gumleaf-mafia.com/?page_id=36064">here is a list to all the brands</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since the IG response has been overwhelming (THANK YOU!!!!), I have decided to do "lucky dip" lots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have over 150 bottles to get rid of and taking pictures will take up way too much time - I want them gone!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each "lucky dip" lot will contain 4-6 bottles plus (depending on brands) and sweet extras.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Including the following brands: OPI, China Glaze, Butter London, Orly, Barielle, Misa, a England, Barry M, Catrice, Color Club, Essence, Essie, Models Own, Nails Inc, Revlon, Sally Hansen..... PLUS<br />
ALL THE AUSSIE INDIES (Emily De Molly, Gloss'N'Sparkle, Pretty Serious, Alana Renee, Shades Of Phoenix, Arcane etc) and Australian brand name polishes.<br />
<br />
Each lot is <b>AUD$30 plus shipping </b>(<u>see below for all the shipping rates</u>)<br />
<br />
I will also provide a discount for multiple lots - <br />for example 2 x "lucky dip" lots will cost AUD$55 plus shipping<br />
3 x "lucky dip" lots will cost AUD$80 plus shipping<br />
<br />
SHIPPING RATES (in AUD):<br />
Australia - $8<br />
New Zealand - $10<br />
Singapore, Phillipines, Malaysia - $12<br />
USA, Canada - $14<br />
Europe - $17-20 (depends on the country - I use AusPost prices)<br />
South America - $25<br />
<br />
Payment must be made through <b>PayPal in AUD</b> to natalia.bruce.nb@gmail.com<br />
within 24 hours. The payment will have to clear before I can send the polish.<br />
<br />
I am not responsible for any import charges/damage in transit. No returns/no refunds.<br />
<br />
HOW TO ORDER:<br />
I will only accept KIK (cats_n_nails) or EMAIL (natalia.bruce.nb@gmail.com) requests</div>

I wanted to do something special this year and celebrate with all the friends I made since <br />
starting the blog last year, and becoming part of the IG nail community.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I invited everyone to take part in a "Birthday Blog Nail Party"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The concept is simple - it's lots of manis on lots of people on one place - just like there would be at <br />
an actual party, with one exception - these are all pictures!</div>

I was contacted by KKCentreHK recently (flattered!!!!) to review some products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zDixw5RSVGrvpA1f_3HrDNKhIrhSj5MM0ppknANEEyVp0gvdn3mEgeo7CNz6YorQGuK2IJVYzrLij-TFdmKiXq-4AVhHIJEEPQDaKlX9yb5rKcyyQ1sFOMCu9-vxDv7j1arwbFp0BxE/s1600/CIMG5333.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zDixw5RSVGrvpA1f_3HrDNKhIrhSj5MM0ppknANEEyVp0gvdn3mEgeo7CNz6YorQGuK2IJVYzrLij-TFdmKiXq-4AVhHIJEEPQDaKlX9yb5rKcyyQ1sFOMCu9-vxDv7j1arwbFp0BxE/s400/CIMG5333.JPG" width="306" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose the foil and the round studs from <a href="http://www.kkcenterhk.com/" target="_blank">the array of products</a>, which promptly arrived! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The foils came with the special glue </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(although the brush is a bit too long for the bottle and bends - application is not a problem).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
Decided to try both at once over a darker colour first - Catrice George Blueney!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see, I didn't wait long enough for the glue, and the tips didn't transfer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A bit later I tried the foils over a beautiful blue from Australis called Sky High.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEp8KFemEAjC6-1yr4pD7pwQN7QpsaTXD83P7ZfSAApRd71hN0a0Dyp2zgF_nQvft7EtMSG5C_lEBmaKKJNe_icRYb7zX_zk5CuGfDN3xA1llmKFtbwd94gltiFG9ZotwDLIVIQYjSPQ/s1600/CIMG5342.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEp8KFemEAjC6-1yr4pD7pwQN7QpsaTXD83P7ZfSAApRd71hN0a0Dyp2zgF_nQvft7EtMSG5C_lEBmaKKJNe_icRYb7zX_zk5CuGfDN3xA1llmKFtbwd94gltiFG9ZotwDLIVIQYjSPQ/s400/CIMG5342.JPG" width="317" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Patience pays off - they fully transferred this time!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how incredibly versatile this particular foil is - looks equally great over dark and light!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can your very own roll of this foil and glue <a href="http://www.kkcenterhk.com/p10914/N.NAIL-Blue-Drop-Bubble-Patten-Nail-Foil-Transfer/product_info.html" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also had lots of fun with the studs - they go so well with many designs!</div>

I had a few requests on IG to explain what the #RandomJuneMani is all about.<br />Here is a little post outlining the basic principal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I can't take the credit for "inventing" this - the idea was suggested <br />by one of the members of the June No Buy group (Hi Erica!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The idea is that if you're stuck for inspiration, or need a distraction to stop you shopping,<br />this will help to challenge and inspire you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have to start by assigning a number to each polish in your stash - it doesn't matter how big or <br />small your collection is - you can still do this.</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg01NbOMFSFBIWZYZgfQ9l-8MHwNRpBBNOch8PDuI4rK8okq96oXkKHJBkxEE9k5g4o_kWqljz5aY0tDurPypkpLpe2fuGENccpATNTjB8x7cFuPPY35DnWhaiQL0wdyut6CtmyDE7Z6uM/s1600/RandomJuneMani.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg01NbOMFSFBIWZYZgfQ9l-8MHwNRpBBNOch8PDuI4rK8okq96oXkKHJBkxEE9k5g4o_kWqljz5aY0tDurPypkpLpe2fuGENccpATNTjB8x7cFuPPY35DnWhaiQL0wdyut6CtmyDE7Z6uM/s320/RandomJuneMani.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here is a snapshot from my list in Excel format</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next step is to use the <a href="http://www.random.org/" target="_blank">Random Number Generator</a> to draw a number<br />(Min is always 1 and Max is the amount of polishes in your collection)</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPywDLUPUqiYG-DiV8iZnP0Vb94FnPH7UiYDjadg2djixImwa4x5BKktRMhV4S8ssYH7q7r_l0uaAxgbZ3XZcip3HAne2-pFFrvTGqs7db-sWzpAhKECMv8oKOPWYaXEy957E7On9D5xg/s1600/RandomNumber.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPywDLUPUqiYG-DiV8iZnP0Vb94FnPH7UiYDjadg2djixImwa4x5BKktRMhV4S8ssYH7q7r_l0uaAxgbZ3XZcip3HAne2-pFFrvTGqs7db-sWzpAhKECMv8oKOPWYaXEy957E7On9D5xg/s1600/RandomNumber.JPG" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is what is looks like</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you have a number, match it to a polish in your stash:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlr3bDZOd4b5yBhoTBVYYUa59I_GRtolJSA5e71S0E5CL9asjb5crWiUggJe9Piw_B6Hwgcxe0ZgafdkmpklWWUbwXXfY656doYLEmx9oSYl3hYKUtTVNfipTK1xp87CBgdVYmHxXd-W8/s1600/RandomJuneManiSelection.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlr3bDZOd4b5yBhoTBVYYUa59I_GRtolJSA5e71S0E5CL9asjb5crWiUggJe9Piw_B6Hwgcxe0ZgafdkmpklWWUbwXXfY656doYLEmx9oSYl3hYKUtTVNfipTK1xp87CBgdVYmHxXd-W8/s1600/RandomJuneManiSelection.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that's it - that's the polish to use!<br />I chose to draw 2-3 numbers at a time and make them work together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you do try this - let me know and tag @cats_n_nails and also use the #RandomJuneMani tag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
