Quick Haul-erific Post

I've still been struggling with this head cold and I have a meeting tonight at the bank. Which hopefully leads to me having money...so hopefully we get to go out for dinner!

I have an afternoon tea for my wedding this Saturday and then a few of the girls are spending the night in the city with ideas of seeing a movie, eating and maybe some drinking...
So I'm not sure I'll get anything posted this weekend!

Wednesday was a super awesome day for me. I came home to 3 parcels. One was a book, one was my beautfiul Lord of the Rings blurays...extended versions that are sold out everywhere. The last was my Beauty Joint order. OMG Beauty Joint I love you. My parcel came so fast and was so well packaged. Seriously less than a week to get to New Zealand.

Anyway on to pictures!

An Orange Crackled Pineapple

I had plans to post this on Thursday...then on Friday...and now it's 2:30am on Saturday morning and I'm finally posting!

I wanted to show everyone another of the Mia Secret Crackles I purchased on ebay. There was a wide range of colours available and at only $2 a bottle I was prepared if they didn't live up to my expectations. Luckily the three bottle I bought, gold, orange and rose, seem to crackle just as well as other crackles I've used. The formulae does smell stronger, but if you can look past that, they're fun to play with and come in a lot of colours.


Mia Secret Crackle in Orange over China Glaze Electric Pineapple
I'm still coming to turns with my break, but I wanted to apply some polish. I decided on Electric Pineapple, but then it was too bright for what I'd wanted. So I made it even brighter with some orange crackle. I actually really like this combination. I love orange polish, so I love the twist of wearing an orange crackle. It's so bright and summery...if only we weren't going into winter!

I still have the gold crackle to test out, hopefully I can do that today. The colour doesn't seem to be as nice as the orange or rose. If I have time I'll test them all over a few different colour polishes. I want to see if they can handle a darker base.

A Crackled Pink Wednesday

A few weeks ago I had a little fun on ebay. A few weeks is what I say when I can't remember exactly when I purchased things... but they came in the mail yesterday.

I needed For Audrey for my wedding toes, and I'd misplaced my bottle. Rather than just buying one polish I stocked up on a few. I decided to try out these cheap crackles Mia Secret Crackle. I bought an orange, yellow and deep pink.

Today I have Mia Secret Crackle Rose over Sparrow Me the Drama.




The reason it looks like I dipped my fingers in egg yolk and didn't clean them is I played with the yellow crackle first...It did not want to come off!

Anyway happy Pink Wednesday. I hope everyone has a fabulous day. I have an observation teaching reading today...So I'm slightly freaking.
