Just a quick post for me today, Ive spent my whole weekend looking into options for moving my blog to my own domain and the self hosted version of WordPress and want to keep researching while Im motivated.  Still not 100% sure if Im going to do it or not but Im very frustrated with the lack of customisation using wordpress.com, especially that I can’t use Google Friend Connect or Google Analytics so I have good reasons for wanting to move.

Anyway today Ive got some swatches of the Essie Braziliant Collection today.  I ordered the entire collection back in July however when it arrived, Braziliant had been substituted out for Vermillionaire so Im afraid I don’t have that one to show you.  The formula on all of these are fabulous – thin and highly pigmented.  The only one I had some trouble with was Absolutely Shore which was a bit streaky.  I ordered these while having a huge orange rampage so I was really surprised to find that Super Bossa Nova was my favourite out of them all.  I can’t really explain it – its a berry pink with shimmer, nothing too radical but I love it all the same!

My apologies for the shade photos of Meet Me At Sunset and Too Too Hot – my camera completely freaks out at orange/coral/red in the shade sadly and I still haven’t found a way to fix it.
