Email question #1: 'WWOMN?' Pure Ice!

I hope yall are having/had a fab Sunday!

I had an email from a lovely lady by the name of Mary T from beautiful Brazil. She asked me 'What Was On My Nails?' in my Orly haul posting. I told her what I was wearing and told her to look for a blog post within the next few days.

Here is what I was wearing: PURE ICE! Pure Ice can be found at Wam-Lart (Wal-Mart) for $1.99.

Pure Ice in Private Show (black base of blue, gold, pink, red and silver glitter). From bottle comparison, Private Show is a dup for Butter London in The Black Knight.

Pure Ice in Take Me Now (clear base of orange/copper glitter with silver hex glitters). I have no dupes for this polish.

Pure Ice in Sheer Luck (clear base of green, silver and purple holographic glitter with silver shaped diamonds). I have no dupes for this polish.

Let's get started!

Index, middle and pinky wearing Pure Ice - Private Show (2 coats + top coat)
Ring finger wearing Pure Ice in Take Me Now (2 coats) and 1 coat of Pure Ice in Sheer Luck over that + top coat. It made my ring finger a golden sparkle of glitterness.

Haul #1: HauteLook - Orly nail polish

Have you heard of HauteLook? I LOVE HauteLook. Super good deals, fantastic customer service and an awesome return policy.

Shop here: HauteLook

I love Orly polishes. What I don't like is hunting down a Limited Edition (LE) polish that sells out before I can get my hands on it. Especially something I have NOTHING like already in my collection. My ladies at Sally's have been nice enough to hold polishes for me but I can't always get there quick enough. My Ulta carries Orly but the selection seems >meh< at the best of times. I have been quite lucky to be able to find many LE nail polishes on HauteLook. I'm guessing around 75% of my Orly polishes have come from HauteLook.

I love hauls. One of my favourite types of videos to watch on YouTube and one of my favourite to read about on blogs.

Hauled: Orly nail polish in Gogo, Androgynie, In The Navy, Hawaiian Punch, Fifty-Four, Act Your Shoe Size, Fantasea, Ingenue, Flare, Hook Up and *Razzle.

*I decided to return Razzle because it did not have a name label. I did take pics so that you can see it's prettiness.

Wedgwood Collection

I am an avid collector of Jasperware Wedgwood.

It started with my Grandmum. Having escaped the Nazis, she and her husband (I never knew him. He died before I was born) landed in England. This is where her collection started. She would send mum various pieces as well. I think everyone in the family has at one point bought pieces. I've been antiquing and buying Wedgwood since my teens. I did buy some pieces from Dillard's when they had Wedgwood signings. They don't even carry Jasperware any more. Have not for quite some time.

I have mostly blue (dark, pale, royal etc) in my ever growing collection. I also have black, brown, green, lilac, pink, terracotta, teal. white and yellow.

I have a few other odds and ends in the cabinet. Daddy's military flag, a few pairs of antique opera glasses, English Bobby whistle (not sure if it is current or antique), mezuzahs (Jasperware Wedgwood, Lenox and an unnamed), some silver Israeli spoons, an Israeli plate, Bruno's paw print, Jonathan Adler penguin and dog salt and pepper shakers, 2 Cunard Line small bone china cup and saucer (1 meat set and 1 dairy set), a small Spode cup and saucer set and a few pieces of Wedgwood china (glazed).



 
As you can see, I am running out of space and I have had to start stacking the plates, trays and dishes on top of one another. I need another cabinet built PRONTO!
