Nail mail... FROM SPAIN. And a giveaway reminder/anouncement.

So I never posted about it, but about a month ago I was profiled on brokeandbeautiful.com along with my dear friend and fellow polish addict Irune, who hails from Bilbao, Spain.  Broke and Beautiful is run by two amazing ladies I know, and they wanted to do a post about nails, and naturally we were more than happy to contribute!

Well, Irune decided she needed to thin her polish stash out a little and offered to send me some stuff that I wouldn't be able to get here, including a beautiful Catherine Arley holo that I will show off at a later date!  I was so grateful when I opened the package and saw some pretty great stuff inside.  I will be showing a few of them off over the next few days, so today I will start with the gorgeous Barry M Vivid Purple.

I'd seen this colour before on other blogs, and I love it so so much.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it in my package from Irune.  It was on my wish list and she didn't even know, so it filled a huge lemming.  The colour is well, vivid, but wearable, and very flattering, and this is three coats, because at two it was just not camera ready.  Formula was quite good, and it applied smoothly and easily.  This is one I'll be saving(Code: rationing!) for parties and other special occasions.  It's one I want to try layering with.

My dog bumped my pinky before I could take the last picture :P

Are any of you guys fans of Barry M?  

I think this was a pretty kickass intro to the brand.

And now a little note from both of us:

This is just a reminder that there's only 2 weeks left to enter our Chanel and other awesome stuff giveaway.

This is also a reminder that WE DO CHECK THE ENTRIES. It's one thing to make a mistake and miss something, and we can spot that pretty easily. It's another thing to say you posted us in your giveaway sidebar and not even have one. When we find someone who lied we delete ALL your entries.
