Hello Kitty Polish + Giveaway

There is something about Twitter, Beauty Bloggers and Hello Kitty that I just don't understand.

Okay, its cat, and its a cartoon, and it's cute. But, up until now I just haven't seen the appeal.

I am late on the bandwagon, BUT, Priceline have released a selection of Hello Kitty goodies including makeup, lip gloss and nail polish! [For more on the range, check out Beauty in The Sky ]

When I saw the polish, Cat or no Cat, I had to try it out.

I picked up two of the range for $9.95 each/8ml

Grace of Grass and Kawai Coral

I am a bit of a sucker for an awesome coral polish, and this certainly delivered.

Whilst, it is almost identical in colour to OPI "A Good Man-Darin Is Hard To Find" you can never have too many poppy corals coming into summer.

Oh, this colour.LOVE LOVE LOVEI do not have a dupe for this shade in my ever growing collection.It screams summer, yet it's not too bright for everyday wear
The wear time on these polishes isn't too great, but can be fixed with a good top coat.Formula is quick drying, and is opaque in 2 medium coats.The brush is a little soft for my liking so I didn't have total control, but I got the hang of it by 3rd/4th nail.

Haul: Priceline

I could almost change my residential address to my local Priceline, and have my wages paid directly in-store. It's where my budget goes to die. I walk in needing one thing and end up regretting not picking up a basket on entry.

Today was no different.

I went in for one thing. ONE.

These:

And ended up with this:

Uhh, not bad for less than $50 right?

Necessities right? Hand Sanitiser, Deodorant.

Wait, what? A glass nail file WITH a light. Want. Only $1? Had to have it.

I hadn't seen the Models Prefer polish before, but I adored these two colours

$5.99 each? Score

[Swatches coming soon]

Not that I wear them often, but FIVE pairs of false eyelashes for $5? Plus a cute mock croc cosmetic bag? That is winning my friend.

Everything was on sale, so my inner shopaholic demon is satisfied, and so is my credit card.
