I'm still around - okay so my grand return was not exactly what I was expecting but I certainly hope to start posting more often.<br />
At the moment I am still working from phone pics so no love today :(<br />
<br />
<br />
Just to prove I am still a mad fanatic (not that you need any proof) - here is something I just discoevered - these are the polished that were on my bedside cabinet. These are ONLY the ones that are within reach - not with the rest of my stash...<br />

By the way - yes I took these with my phone, it's been so long I have NO IDEA where my camera charger is! Sorry!!<br />

I used a franken pinky-nude as the base - this was actually my first failed attempt at frankening my own mannequin colour - and Konad special polish in black with the lace design from plate m65.<br />
Because my talons are verging on velociraptor the image did not cover my entire nail I freehanded black french tips with Diamond Cosmetics - Starry Night.<br />
<br />
I would really love to hear what you think - I know my technique has dropped since I stopped blogging and I welcome all critique! My cuticles need a LOT of help I know...<br />
<br />
Talk to me my darlings - I missed you all so much!!!<br />

I picked this up at my local random dusty polish place for AU$3!<br />
<br />
It's from US #1 Beauty (Anyone heard of these guys? I haven't!) and apprently this one is toluene and formadehyde free (if you're into that...)<br />
<br />
I COULD NOT capture the amazing multichrome in this, it keeps showing up as a green/purple duo instead of the blue/purple/green/yellow magnificence that it should be!<br />

Okay so this one is pretty self explanatory!<br />
I've used the infamous Ruby Pumps as a base coat and then tried the lace foil over the top!<br />
I LOVE this!<br />

Hopefully I will be posting more regularly from hereon!<br />
Unfortunately my workplace isn't too happy with mad colours, I'm pushing boundaries but my boss doesn't really like it, she has about 5 bottles of nail polish (OMG) and keeps her nails super short, she thinks mine are CRAZY!<br />
Here's a vault pic to kick us off, from the time when my nails were very short!<br />
<br />
This is another foil, i really think it is hideous! The orange and yellow tones clash with my skin, but let me know what you think!<br />

For the base coat I used the gold-orange colour from the haul sent to me by Scandalous, I haven't swatched it yet! Argh!<br />
<br />
If anyone likes this, please let me know. I have a HUGE roll of it and I'll likely never use it again!<br />
Miss you all so much!<br />

I said I was back and proceeded to not post any pretty pictures.<br />
<br />
"Ya, great Toxin, you're back,<br />
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE POLISH?<br />
THE SHINY?<br />
THE GLITZY GOTHNESS?<br />
<br />
THE NAILS FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!!???"<br />
<br />
And I agree with you.<br />
<br />
So here you go - one that's been a long time coming, these are what I did just before I decided to drop a 15kg (about 33lb) box on my thumbnail. Yeowch.<br />

I told you I'd be back!<br />
<br />
Here's a mini update on everything that's been happening in my little world...<br />
<br />
Started temping, finished temping, got called back to work as casual contract for the company, broke my thumby nail (but you knew that), racked up a stupid internet bill, got cut off, got taken on as casual by work, watched my nails grow, received a mystery package (WHO WAS THAT!?!? TELL ME!!!!!!) did some modelling, and yesterday, the big day, finally got the internet reconnected AND got offered a permanent contract at my job! Yay!<br />
<br />
I know I've missed a LOT while I've been away, you all need to fill me in ASAP!<br />
What's the gossip? Who's hated? Who's new? What trends are you loving? What life changing posts have you made? What have you been doing with your lovely selves?!<br />
<br />
In the meanwhile, here's the result of one of my modelling ventures! (clicky for bigger!)<br />

I miss you all very much!!!<br />
I'm doing a quick post at a friends house to let you know everything is all okay and that I miss you!<br />
I managed to rack up a whopping internet bill and am currently in the process of paying it off, until then I'll be away but hopefully for not much longer!<br />
Thank you all for your kind words while I've been away!<br />
Also, I just got word that my work has accepted me full time until AT LEAST july! So YAY!<br />
I've been crazy busy and luckily with income I'll have this monster bill paid off very soon!<br />
<br />

<br />
Very recently I ordered a tiny haul from the very lovely Evil Angel (one of the Wicked Vixens!) who owns her own makeup company called Evil Shades.<br />
If you haven't seen her stuff before, <a href="http://www.evilshades.com/apps/webstore/">check it out here</a>.<br />

You're back? Okay!<br />

Last night I decided to play around with everything I got! Are you ready for this?<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The only "cons" I can think of to say about the eyeshadows (and I really had to try to find anything bad!) are that when mine arrived I had a few that desperately tied to escape, the pots had unscrewed themselves slightly in shipping and because there are no sifters everything in the bag had a fine coating of shadow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Not a big issue, but maybe can be fixed with a tiny bit of tape to make sure the pots don't unscrew in international shipping.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is just gorgeous. I only ordered one gloss as I hate when: it's too sticky, smells weird, tastes awful, too goopy, too thin, too gritty I could go on. All through high school I searched for the "prefect" gloss - to no avail. Colours I loved felt or smelled weird, good consistencies had boring colours or smelled weird.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If only I had known about evil shades... I have been blown away by this gloss. It smells great, a subtle coconut smell, by no means overpowering, it's not gritty or goopy or sticky. And the colour... I love this.</div><br />
It's not quite as dark as I thought it would be, but it's definitely a wearable red.<br />

<br />
Sorry for my absence of late, I've been ridiculously busy lately, what with working and... working. Haha!<br />
<br />
Another reason I've been away is I had a bit of a problem. As you may have known I had a tear in my right thumbnail below the quick, I'd been using pieces of tea bag as a silk wrap replacement, but the inevitable happened, I didn't buff it down quite as much as I thought I had and I snagged it, tearing across.<br />
<br />
I hate having my nails mis-matched lengths. So I've been reduced to this...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">My inpiration for this was partly all the cute pastels I kept seeing around easter, as well as having Nubar - Milk Chocolate Creme turn up. I'm not sure about using it for day-to-day polish, but boy, I'll use this guy for nail art for sure!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">What I used:</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thumb and pinkies: Eyeko - Lilac Polish(The only Eyeko so far that agreed with me!

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Yay!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Oh and the title of this post is from me worried that chocolate would look more like... well... you get the picture.</div><div style="text-align: left;">My photography lecturer in Uni used to used the phrase "turd polishing" a lot. It means when you start with a piece of crap, you can spend ours and hours polishing and refining it, but in the end, it's still a piece of crap.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">One day he was looking at what I was working on, shook his head and for the billionth time...</div><div style="text-align: left;">"You can't polish a turd"</div><div style="text-align: left;">Not missing a beat I looking him in the eye with a manic grin and said</div><div style="text-align: left;">"Maybe... but you can roll it in glitter!"</div><div style="text-align: left;">He was HORRIFIED.</div><br />

What... the... heck? It actually CHANGED COLOUR from what was in the bottle... I managed to scrape one last use out of my dying bottle of Seche so I know it wasn't that... I'm also at a loss to explain the weird bubbly texture thats going on (if you can't see, click the above pic to figure out what I'm on about)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Just to make my point absurdly clear, look at the above photo. The purple on the left is the bottle of polish. On the right, my nail covered 3 coats of that exact polish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Application on this was way better than the Vintage polish, but not worth it for a boring berry shimmery creme. Blech. And yet the bottle colour was so awesome!</div><br />

<br />
I'm cleaning out my little stack of posts to do before moving onto new stuff!<br />
This was a franken I made out of Essie - The Naked Truth, I was never going to use it again as it was, and wanted to see if I could get it closer to my skintone, unfortunately my skin is multiple colours, not one!<br />

Hrm, not too bad for a first try! It looks a lot less shonky in person, trust me!<br />
NB: I've since had a go with another foil that didn't have a transparent backing and the results were MUCH better...<br />
<br />
What other nail art do you want to see?<br />
(Hopefully not more mutant painted fishes...)<br />

Also, thanks again to the VERY lovely Jacie from You've Got Nail - what a sweetheart! It was so lovely to finally meet another nail blogger in person!<br />
I also got a couple more from her - but you'll have to wait until I try them to find out what they are!<br />
<br />
More posts lined up! I'm excited!<br />
Also, don't forget to vote in my poll! After all, I want you to enjoy my blog as much as I do!<br />

The quote above is from Lucy Liu - it cracked me up the first time I saw it!<br />

Anyhow! Here is a little something that arrived in my mailbox on friday...<br />
Eyeko's Vintage Polish!<br />

NB: I am desperately running out of Seche Vite, meaning until the new bottles get here you're gonna have to deal with ugly bubbly top coat again. *sigh*<br />

The colour in the above pics is pretty true to life, except its a teensy bit more green. It looks kinda blue here. My camera went funked up at the idea of photographing this one. :(<br />
<br />
I really didn't enjoy this, I left it on for a couple of days purely to make it worthwhile... application was pretty damn awful, though apparently it's better than the old formula, which must have been a total nightmare. The colour is pretty as hell, but it was quite sheer, and with my long nails and the tiny bottles, doing three coats used up about a third of a bottle!! Mostly this is because it won't let you do a thin coat as it was so goopy.<br />
But the colour is hella pretty, although next time I think I'll franken my The Face Shop mint green to make it a bit darker and more blue, the application of it was better and considering price and availability, I probably wouldn't buy it again.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

I had a package in the mail from the VERY amazing Tiffani. This is - of course - Manglaze Fuggen Ugly. It is DIVINE.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Application on this was awesome - I've never worked with matte polishes before but I always crap up matte topcoats, need to get used to the fast drying idea! But just look... look... now I have a secret to tell you... come closer... closer...<br />
<br />
*whispers* I didn't do cleanup on this...<br />
<br />
Not that you could tell from it being all jacked up around my cuticles... blargh... but yes... manglaze is a dream... I'm off to buy more! Ta ta!<br />
Love,<br />

I've been playing with my makeup lately - I ran out and bought MAC's Painterly so I am able to do eye looks without creasing and with better blending! Yay! I really need to buy myself a proper set of makeup brushes (I have 4 brushes... ugh) but I'm creating some fun looks so far!<br />
<br />
I got these samples with my new foundation from <a href="http://myworld.ebay.com.au/**pure*cosmetics*customer*service**/">Pure Cosmetics.</a><br />
I love this! I have totally been converted to mineral powder for a while now, but I think Pure Cosmetics are the best I've tried!<br />
If you buy a pot of their mineral foundation they send you FIVE colour samples of your choosing so you can get your absolute perfect colour!<br />
<br />
They offer two kinds, "Classic" and "Ultimate" - Ultimate is the same but jam packed with nutrients. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Pure-Cosmetics-ULTIMATE-Foundation-Sheer-Mineral-Cover_W0QQitemZ260563401107QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Makeup?hash=item3caac9f993#ht_7978wt_941">That's the one I got.</a><br />
I went with colour "Porcelain Mist" and it matches my very pale, very cool toned skin perfectly! Because I had already bought samples not realising they came free with the foundation, I got some mineral eyeshadows instead.<br />
I got three "travelling" eyeshadows - they look white but reflect a different colour, as well as two mineral eyeliner colours, a black and a metallic pewter.<br />
These are the eyeshadows I got:<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here's what they look like; (I already had a full size of Pluto from them- it's part of the set so I swatched it too) These have all been swatched wet:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XEIYNF-zxAk/S7c2hrPZOFI/AAAAAAAAArs/76wdjyw4WgU/s1600/IMG_4858.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XEIYNF-zxAk/S7c2hrPZOFI/AAAAAAAAArs/76wdjyw4WgU/s320/IMG_4858.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XEIYNF-zxAk/S7c2dY-YMgI/AAAAAAAAArk/kFp3yWQN9WI/s1600/IMG_4860.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XEIYNF-zxAk/S7c2dY-YMgI/AAAAAAAAArk/kFp3yWQN9WI/s320/IMG_4860.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here's a look I did using only Uranus and the pewter eyeliner (around the crease, used dry not as an eyeliner) that I wore to the supermarket!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XEIYNF-zxAk/S7c2oxbtN1I/AAAAAAAAAsE/ywpN26Bz3Iw/s1600/IMG_4865.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XEIYNF-zxAk/S7c2oxbtN1I/AAAAAAAAAsE/ywpN26Bz3Iw/s320/IMG_4865.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was far brighter in real life and it looks amazing how it changes under different lighting!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before using an eye primer my eye makeup used to crease up in a matter of minutes - not anymore! I am learning new makeup tips on youtube - if you have any tutorials you think I should watch or and looks you want me to try, please let me know in a comment!</div><br />
