Bloggers that inspire me

During my meeting with Mai from Nanna Nap last weekend we got to talking about what and who
inspires us, so I made a short list of bloggers that got me into nail art (not literally, because
I have never met them, but indirectly though their beautiful pictures)

The Polishaholic is my number one source for swatches of collections

The Nailasaurus - Sam is very creative (check out her Michael Kors inspired studded nails!)

My Simple Little Pleasures - Colette is my first love - she is THE water marble guru! Love her kitty too))

Oooh, Shinies! - Bregje is the master of stamping (I tried it because of her!) bonus - lots of kitty pics!

Let Them Have Polish! - Chris is funny and adventurous

Nails and Noms - Rie has great designs and also amazing recipes

ChitChatNails - Marta's photos are stunning!

Nihrida - has a great collection and I love the reviews (obsession with Essence started here) plus lots of cats!

So there you go - some of my favorite people online! I'm sorry if I missed someone, this is my opinion only and if you have someone you admire greatly - please let me know in the comments.

Thanks for stopping by!

One of these is not like the other...

 Can you spot the odd one out?

As promised, today's post is all about Australian magnetic polishes.
Since Sally Hansen magnetics are costing around $17 (!), I found some wallet-friendly alternatives.

Olga has kindly allowed me to create a guest post)))

A little later on I will post the Australian magnetic polishes review, so keep an eye out!

All about the 'stache in November

Not sure if you heard, but November in Australia is now called Movember.

 To support men's health initiatives blokes are encouraged to grow a mo for the month 

to raise awareness. Now, I am not saying I will be growing one, but I will show you my 'stache (stash).

When bloggers meet up (aka EPIC HAUL)

Yesterday I had an awesome experience of meeting up with a fellow blogger - Mai from Nanna Nap! 

It was so much fun!!! Amazing to be able to talk face-to-face about the stuff we write and read about (although she did call me a "crazy enabler" LOL). 

As you would expect, the day was spent hunting polish and chatting)))

We found some fantastic polishes and I had my very first LUSH store experience!

Where in the World - Day 11 Hungary

For the longest time I did not know what to do for today's country, until I read that the Rubik's Cube
was invented in Hungary. As soon as I read that I knew what my design would be!
