Kiko 278 and some nail mail

Hello everyone ^_^/

I got some fabulous nail mail through swaps the last few weeks and amongst all the pretty nail polishes, this was the one I liked the most, Kiko 278.

As you can see it is a purple glitter nail polish and I got it from a swap with the lovely Lily from My Little World of Polish (more on that and other swaps in a minute). First let's talk about Kiko 278. In the bottle it looks like a multichrome but that doesn't translate on the nail. Still, the colour is fabulous. With two coats I got perfect coverage and I loved the vivid purple colour.

Here is the rest of Lily's package.

Apart from all the pretty nail polishes, she included some super cute accessories, cosmetics and some snacks from France. If you want to see the other half of our swap, make sure you check her blog ^_^

A few days ago, I got another swap package, this time from the lovely Kayono from Neues vom Kellerkind (who is one of the sweetest people in the blogging world, just in case you didn't know)

She included so many fabulous nail polishes (plus a yummy candy selection) from Germany, including some brands that I have never heard of before So excited as I always love trying new brands and colours ^____^
You should totally check out her blog too, her nail art skills are out of this world <3

Thank you so much Lily and Kayono, it was so much fun swapping with you both <3

Did you do any swaps recently dear readers? Which colours from the above swaps would you like to see me try first? Let me know and I will do some looks with those :)

Swapping with friends is always fun!

Hello everyone ^_^/

You know that happy feeling when you get a package in the post. It is very exciting when it is nail mail. But what makes it even more special is when the package is from a dear friend. During the last couple of months I received packages from two very special friends of mine so today I want to show you what was inside ^_^

Just a bit after the holidays I received a Happy New Year package from my dear friend 'Chelle. I have met her through her blog Cosmetic Cupcake and I can say she is now one of my dearest friends both in the blogging world and outside of it. So you can tell I am always happy to receive anything from her ^_^

The package was filled with amazing goodies, from snacks to nail polishes and cosmetics.

I decided to try the Face of Australia nail polish in Iron Ore first, with a layer of OPI Pink Shatter over it.

Iron Ore is part of the Face of Australia Molten Metallics collection. It's a beautiful black metallic colour and it worked really well with Pink Shatter.

Just in time for my birthday I received a package from another dear friend of mine, Moni from Beauty Oshaberi. We have so many things in common including our love for kawaii and Anna Sui and you can see that in the package contents ^_^

So many lovely nail polishes and brands I have never tried before and she even fulfilled my wish for the new Anna Sui nail polishes in the dress bottles. *does happy dance* I have already tried some of these beauties in a mani I did for my birthday trip to London (blog post about that coming soon).

And finally as soon as I returned from my trip, I found another package from 'Chelle, for my birthday. It was so sweet of her to remember me <3

As you can see the package was full of spring colours and unique nail polshes plus so many cute goodies including a bow for my iphone (which I am using already ^_^).

Do you like doing swaps? If you want to see the other end of the swaps with my dear friends, make sure to check their fabulous blogs too. If you would like to swap with me, just drop me an email :)

I've been swapping...

Hello everyone ^_^/

I have entered the last week of my summer vacation but here is a post to show you what I've been up to this summer. Amongst other things, I've been swapping with some lovely ladies from the blogging world ^_^

I did quite a few swaps so here they are. (picture heavy post ahead!)

First up is a swap I did with the lovely Marina that runs the blog Bonekiitah Dos Vernizes.

It was such an exciting swap as she is from Portugal and I never had any nail polishes from there. She included so many pretty nail colours from brands I have never seen before. I especially love the army green one, such a unique colour for my collection.

Marina is such a sweet girl, it was great swapping with her. Even though her blog is in Portugese, check it out for all the lovely nail art and polishes she posts ^___^

I also had a swap with the kind MelSteph from Singapore. We have been discussing our swap for quite some time and I was so excited when we finally managed to do it! She included some fantastic nail colours and a couple of brands are new to me and am totally excited to try them out!

I had another swap with Liz from Lulla Writes. I had so much fun doing this swap and I was really happy to receive her lovely package. She included some yummy treats too but hubby got to them before I managed to snap a photo!

And last but not least I had two swaps with my dearest 'Chelle who runs the Cosmetic Cupcake blog. I don't think I need to say a lot about her, I bet everyone knows what a fantastic person she is! I cannot imagine going polish shopping and not getting some for her too. She is my official nail polish buddy ^_^

This was our first summer swap. She even remembered me while travelling in Hong Kong and got me some awesome shades from there too. And she even remembered my love for kawaii character goods <3 Could she be any kinder?

And this package from her arrived yesterday just in time for the end of summer. She even included the new Glitter Gal holos (that are on my nails already ofc XD). And in case you are wondering, the sweets included are no more!

If you made it to the end of this post, congratulations!
To close it, I want to say one more time a big thank you to all the ladies mentioned here. It has been a great pleasure getting to know you and swapping with you all <3

If you would like to swap with me too, check the I Swap tag on my blog ^_^

A swap and a Facebook only giveaway

Hello everyone ^_^/

How are you all enjoying your weekend?
We are starting to melt here already gah! October just cannot come soon enough X____X
But this post has nothing to do with the weather.

I want to show you today a swap I made with the lovely Stephanie from So Nailed.

We have been planning our swap for a while now and I was so excited when I received her package.
Everything was cutely wrapped in purple gift wrap and it felt like Christmas unwrapping everything ^_^
Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of everything before unwrapping it but here are the package contents laid out!

First off the nail polishes

Stephanie chose some fantastic colours for me and these are my first Hema and Sephora polishes, yay!!!
I have on a mani with two of the Hema polishes as we speak, which I will show you in a future post.
She also included a ton of lovely goodies and even some of the infamous Leonidas pralines and a pretty purple ring!

Thank you so much Stephanie for everything, it was so much fun swapping with you <<<<3
Everyone make sure to check So Nailed, okay?

Also as I mentioned before on my Blog Birthday giveaway post (which is open until June 25 in case you didn't know), I am going to be holding a Facebook only giveaway too.

Just check my Facebook Page for more information ^_^

A swap with a Spring aroma

Hello everyone ^_^/

how are you all enjoying the start of your week?

I am so excited today as I got a package from Australia, from my dear friend 'Chelle.
We do frequent swaps with each other and  I am always so happy to buy polishes to send her but also to get her lovely packages.

Unfortunatelly on my photos you cannot see the yummy snacks she sent me as darling stole them away on the spot! He's so evil! But you can see all the other lovely contents of the package.

A huge collection of Spring nail polishes that just came out in Australia and also a lovely lipbalm and a Revlon lipgloss.

Here are the nail polishes in more detail

A couple of them were sent from 'Chelle's lovely sister ^_^
Thank you so much to both of you ladies, you have made my week ♥♥♥


I am now at a loss as to which of these beauties I should try first.
Should I do a combined mani with the mood polishes? A super glitter attack layered mani? 
Crackle mix? (although the red crackle is for my mum I'm sure she won't mind me using it once XD)
Ahhhh decisions, decisions...

I have the best friends in the world :D

Hello everyone ^_^/

if all went well with my scheduled posts you will be reading this!

Yesterday just before I left home, I received a package from one of my most loved friends, my dearest 'Chelle.
It is always an absolute pleasure swapping with her but this time, wow, I was blown away by her kindness and excellent taste (also from the fact that she seems to be reading my thoughts as she discovers my tastes even before I do!) On Wednesday it is my birthday so the whole package was birthday themed!

Here are all the goodies!

As you can see she gave me my first Chanel and RBL polishes. Also a fabulous red holo from Ozotic Pro (I am so into red holos lately!), a lovely rich rech Borghese nail polish, the BYS Wonderland polishes that I wanted for so long (<<<<<<<3) and a fabulous purple gradation kit. Lush cosmetics that I love and of course a ton of yummy goodies that I had to hide so my darling won't eat them while I'm gone XD

My dearest 'Chelle, thank you is really not enough to describe what I want to say! But as these are the only words available, I will say it once again. Thank you so very much! This post is dedicated to you with much much love <3

Swaps and giveaway winnings

Hello everyone ^_^/

how are you all doing today? I am recovering from gastroenteritis which is keeping me mostly in bed but I wanted to make a quick blog post so here I am :)

I want to share with you the first package I received for 2011 which was another swap with my dear 'Chelle from Cosmetic Cupcake. I always enjoy swapping with her, she is so sweet and kind and always picks the nicest polishes for me ^____^ So I was super happy that my first package for the year was from her.

She also included a lot of yummy treats, nail art goods, an awesome lemon lipbalm and even my favourite My Beauty Diary face masks <3

The snacks didn't last long as my hubby attacked them on the spot. I did manage to hide some though hehehehe!

Here are a couple of close ups of the nail polishes.

And the rest of the goodies minus the snacks

I am already wearing a couple of these lovelies (will share my mani in the next post) and I think I am going to try the sponging goodies next ^_____^

Also back in November I won a giveaway for the first time. It was so exciting ! It was the Beata's Birthday Giveaway over at Tigirlyly Konadicures.  I got the package some time in December and here is what I won.

6 OPI minis, Holy pink pagoda, rumples wiggin',orge the top blue, Fiercely Fiona, Glitter top coat and top coat.

Thank you so much Beata for having this giveaway and sending me these lovelies ^___^

Yay, another polish swap

Hello everyone ^_^/

Today I wanna show you something exciting that arrived yesterday. A package full of nail polishes, as I had a second swap with the lovely 'Chelle from  Cosmetic Cupcake. 'Chelle is one of my dearest friends, who I met through a mutual love for nail polish and it's always a pleasure to swap with her as our tastes are so similar ^_^

Here is an overview of the package contents

Thank goodness I managed to snap this photo before my darling attacked all the sweets (I had to hide some of them so that he won't eat them all at once).

And here are some close ups at the lovely polishes that were inside.

Rimmel Lasting Finish in 270 Hot Shot, 030 Double Decker Red, 239 Your Majesty, 275 Electric!, 198 Azure

Maybelline mini Colorama in 67 Wonder Violet and 3 Tutti Fruitti, a lovely shade of Sally Hansen's Nail Prisms (I've been dying to try these ^_^) and a taupe from Butter London.

Essie Apricot cuticle oil, Glitter Gal purple holographic polish, Ulta 3 in Black Plum and Bouquet.

Thank you so much my dearest friend for all these lovely goodies. Now I need to decide which one to try out first XD

Btw guys I am planning to present more nail polishes that are available in Greece in this blog. I was thinking it would be a nice weekly feature. What do you think?

Also if anyone would like some polishes that are available here, I am always open to more swaps as it's so much fun! Just drop me an email ^_^
