The Nail File

…’cos if you do, I’m running a quick flash sale on The Nail File Shop until midday on Thursday.

I have mini Christmas sets that include Eyeko Saucy (the perfect Christmas red), Nicole by OPI texture in silver or gold, and a mini OPI RapiDry Top Coat. All that for only $19.95!

I have also reduced the Nicole by OPI Justin Bieber Mini Hit-Makers set to only $15 until Thursday lunch. Perfect stocking stuffers!

For those who are patiently waiting on the Kardashian Kolours, they still haven’t landed but I’m hoping to get the call today or tomorrow. Keep an eye on Twitter or Facebook for updates.

PS – I’m still wearing the OPI GelColor and it’s as shiny and gorgeous as ever, although starting to grow out now. Proper update coming soon!

Just an FYI for everyone who is anxiously waiting for the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolours Kollection (me included) – the anticipated drop date for Australia is first week of December. This will include it going up on The Nail File Shop.

Get eKcited!

Dear Mecca Cosmetica,

I love you guys. Truly I do. You do fabulous nail polish collections (the new ones that just landed on my desk…amazing! I die), and I love visiting your stores because I always find something new and fun to buy. I love that you import all these fabulous brands from around the world that no one else has, like Diptyque, Bumble & Bumble, Chantecaille, Wei and Dayna Decker. And NARS…OMG don’t even start me on NARS. Fabulous eyeshadow, amazing lipstick and who doesn’t love to orgasm. But I’m disappointed.

Oh yes, you make me very sad Mecca. You bring all these amazing NARS products onto your shelves and into our hearts, but you have left out one crucial element – the nail polish. Do you know how I feel when I hear that the Fall 2011 collection has dropped with a heavy, opaque grey polish and I can’t get it? Sure, I’ll probably buy the Outremer blue eye shadow and Pago Pago pink lipstick, but it won’t be the same. There’s a beautiful dark grey nail polish out there calling my name and I can’t get it because NARS American website won’t ship internationally. How do we fix this situation? Do you need me to call Francois? Me and Franky, we’re tight. Just say the word…

Yours in anticipation,

The Nail File

If you’re a fan on facebook you might have seen this picture already, but I have a secret!

Oh my!

I can’t tell you my secret just yet (it wouldn’t be a secret then, would it?) but I can tell you that for the last two weeks I have been rocking ten different colours on my nails and I have had compliments coming out the yin-yang!

There’s no real rhyme or reason to the manicure apart from pastels on one hand and darker colours on the other. It’s a total mish-mash – pink glitter, aqua, lilac, red, taupe and black with glitter just to name a few. Promise me that you’ll try this! Just grab 10 different colours from your collection (if you dont have 10, you can come round to my place and borrow some) and slap it on. I guarantee it will keep you smiling through this freezing cold winter.

I hate to nag, I really do, but it’s the last few days of voting for the first round of the 2011 Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Female awards and I would REALLY appreciate your vote. There have been over 150,000 votes cast so far and I’m just hoping that at least a handful of those are for me (and not just my Mum and my Fiance because I made them vote). To even be recognised as a top 10 nominee is incredible and such an honour – it absolutely made my year. But you know how when you get cake, you always want more? Top be a top 3 finalist would probably make my decade.

Huge thanks to everyone who has already voted (don’t be shy! Vote again!)  – I really appreciate your support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
