OPI - or is it.

I am a new lover of coloured nails.

French Mani was my colour of choice for many, many years.

Since the beginning of summer my love of polish has flourished and am now addicted to purchasing the product.

So I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across these beauties at a recent stop at Cotton On

At only $4.95 a pop they are an affordable option for nail colour for everybody.

I bought 4 bottles - and given the price I was pleasantly surprised.

Pictured: Miami Coral, Sky, Ace of Hearts [Black] and Purple Haze.

OPI is by far my favourite brand - "A Good Man-Darin is hard to find" is absolutely devine, and the similarities of OPI and Rubi do not end with the bottle

Whilst they do wear faster than OPI does, with a good base and top coat they will easily last the week, and tend to fade rather than to chip, even without the top coat.

I would definitely recommend to those on a beauty budget.

Rubi Polish can be purchased from Rubi Shoes, and most Cotton On outlets and RRP is $4.95

A few random facts.

 My childhood ambitions were in this order: Nurse (until I found out the sight of blood scares me), teacher (until I found out kids are so annoying) and writer.

My adult ambitions are: Wedding & Events Planner and homeowner.

 I don’t have any children, but I love and adore my niece & nephews as if they were my own.

I fall in love really easily, but there was only one guy I’ve ever imagined marrying [and it’s not Brad Pitt]

I can buy multiple pieces of the same clothing/shoes/bags in different colours if I like the piece very much.

I wished all men dressed in suits for work.

The sound of Styrofoam makes me cringe like mad.

I hate beer. But I love wine & pear cider

I prefer lemony to chocolaty.

Really likes sushi & dumplings.

I love office supplies, I can spend hours leafing through the catalogue and I can find a use for anything listed.

I want need to lose 25kgs

When I started blogging, I wished I have done it anonymously so I could really say what I wanted to say. Now I’m glad I didn’t, because I can actually say what I want to say, and stand behind it, too.

I don’t like things that are terribly sweet

I don’t think I’ll ever use that jar of pickled onions in my refrigerator.

I always thought it’d be great to have a best friend who’s a huge celebrity.

I wish every cup of coffee that passed my lips was perfect and I can’t understand when coffee isn’t properly prepared since I don’t know anyone that likes bad coffee.

I often twirl my hair no matter what length it is short, long straight or curly

It is impossible for me to make it to 10am on a weekday without coffee. Yet, on a weekend, I can go a whole day without one.

I have a phobia of eating in public with people I don't know, or know well.

I am a Sagittarius - but my personality traits more closely resemble a Cancer.

I drink Diet Coke for the taste

If I had to choose 3 foods to live on for the rest of my life it would be: Dumplings. Diet Coke and Figs.

I consider "Shop"  to be my "Bible".

 I wear my favourite shoes long after they have been trashed. A worn clicking heel is nothing compared to the comfort of an old friend.
