In March 2011 my wallet started hating my new hobby... painting my nails. :o I'm in Australia and love pearly colours especially blues and pale greens.

CoverGirl Peelers - Snowcone Peel
I'm a bit wary of peel polish, they tend to take a top layer off your nail. And this was no exception. But I really loved the icy blue that was in the bottle. It was hard to get on, just kept on leaving these spiderwebby strings as I stroked it on the nail. Also took ages to dry properly and afterwards it still has a kind of rubbery feel, not a smooth, silky finish. Although that is a novelty itself.
I got this out of a discount store, and there was only one other colour, a very yolky egg colour. Hmmm. This is one coat. I did actually put another coat on the next day for one hand and it was slightly darker, but woe! It just imprinted ANYthing I rested my hands on and didn't dry properly.
Peeling off was in one piece (plus heaps of my nail!) on the hand with two coats, but rather ratty and shreddy on the one coat hand. Still gorgeous colour in and out of the bottle. I liked it, but yeah... I even did a base coat but all it did was stick the base coat to itself. My poor nails!!!!
PS I have never had a snowcone that was this blue silver grey colour!

Chi Chi beige world
Not being content with one shade of beige, Chi Chi lashes out with four. Not only these regular size but in their mini range they also have one I think they called High Heeled Wife.
These colours are called (L to R) - I don't gossip so listen, Put your paws up, I don't do housework, I don't do dishes.
HAHA!
Sorry for the bad photo, little did I know that Android's app would resize it to micro!

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms - Pink Rose Diamond
Lucky me - I found 3 of the Nail Prisms in a discount basket in a
pharmacy. They have holographic glitter in them, so love love love!!!
I've only done one coat in this pic, but added another coat today. The
polish is a bit soft - a bit of problem getting it dry. I put it down
to age. Afterall, these came out ages ago. The holographic effect is
top grade though. Even better than the one I paid $20 for!!
