Blog sale news...

1. First proof of today's posting! I think the ladies to whom these parcels are addressed can see enough of their addresses to be reassured BUT nobody else will be able to identify them. That's the theory!

2. There are plenty of polishes still available.

3. I can invoice you if you have already ordered and would prefer it OR...

4. Go to paypal and pay ja  _  latham at hot mail dot com and choose Personal and take it from there.

5. Have a nice day, everyone. It's my birthday. #GETTINGaBIToldNOW

The 100 challenge...how many polishes is TOO many?

I'm going to have a blog sale starting next week: Tuesday August 28th at 5pm. May include any or all of these....

I'm very interested in a movement called 'Labour Behind The Label'. I'm always banging on about ethical buying and decent pay and conditions for workers. One of their campaigns is '6 items or less'. Here's an example of one of their recent campaigns - you choose 6 items of top clothing for Lent (40 days). Shoes and accessories are extra and not limited but the core 6 could be: 2 tops, jumper, skirt, trousers, dress. Quite a few fashion bloggers have done this. Yes, you can wash them but those are your 6 items. Live with it if you can! And I'm going to try this soon.

http://www.ragsagainstthemachine.com/ Rags is one such blogger who has done this and she links to others.

http://www.labourbehindthelabel.org/ For the actual website.

So on the reducing consumption theme - could I get by with a core collection of only 100 polishes? Should I? I think I just may try it and eliminate everything else from my stash. Could end up being a VERY big blog sale!

Jenni
Is there anything you'd like me to include in the sale that you've seen me blog about? What's the absolute minimum you could get away with in polish or lippie or tops?

Oldies but goodies....

Oldies - Jessica tints RH (which confusingly I have put on the left) and Bourjois Prune Virtuelle LH  (sadly discontinued as it is slightly holo and rather good)

• Why are gradients nearly always top to bottom and hardly ever side to side?
• BLOGSALE NEWS: The blogsale will appear here Tuesday 28.08.2012 at about 5pm - taking me ages to sort out and I'm going to Iceland on the 23rd so I'd better wait until I get back - there will be about 150 polishes
• I had toyed with the idea of doing it over a few days as there are so many but I feel that for budgeting purposes and P&P calculations it's better to do it all in one go 

Jenni

When black is not the new black - or even the OLD black

Lancome Piha Black with Catrice Prismatics on little finger with Flormar 004 on ring, 002 on middle and 001 on index

• In short - layering over black (2 coats)
• http://www.flormar.co.uk/article/delivery_and_returns
• These Multidimensions are now £2.24 each plus P&P for a 12ml bottle
• Well worth it
• It's a Turkish brand - ever tried it?

Jenni

Let the (blog sale) fun and games begin! (Soon...)

I have to photograph the beggars first!

There have to be at least 150 here...

• From Orly to OPI
• From Bourjois to BB Couture
• Fromm Essie to Nubar via Illamasqua and Leighton Denny
• I'll give you notice - about 3 days
• It'll be payment via paypal
• Anywhere in the world - if out of the UK then email me for a P&P quote, please
• I'll get proof of posting but if you want 'signed for' then please request it
• Phew - better get busy taking pix and pricing them up....

Jenni

See the lovely silvery glass fleck?

Lancome Piha Black

• No. Me neither!
• Not on the nail anyway - in the BOTTLE for sure but on the nail? Nah.
• It's a lovely glossy polish and nearly opaque in a single coat
• BUT....

Jenni
Not selling it though as I need a black and I quite like this one. Unless anyone desperately wants it. But why would you when the fleck that's so seductive in the bottle fails to materialise on the nail? But I have seen swatches where it works better than I have managed to achieve.

Oo, look at the muck in 'ere!

Gradient with 3 Jessica tints/jellies

• Sorting my stash for keep/blogsale/carboot
• Put the jellies in the blog sale box but may have changed my mind
• Saw a gradient with some newish American Apparel polishes (sheers as they call them) and wanted to try it so here it is
• I like it
• Many bottles haven't been used in years - hence the dust!
• Have ordered 4 of the American Apparel when I meant to have stopped polish purchases - doh!
