Updating, presents and New Years :3

First of all, I updated my old post about some of my nail polishes. Well, some of its pictures anyway.
You can finally see what the colours look like in the bottles :D
I will be editing some of the pictures in older posts, so I'll always tell in the newest post if and when something has changed and where :3

Since I now have a camera that takes good photos, I might as well show you some things I've gotten, but haven't shown here!

I got some new nail polishes a while ago (coughDecembercough), so let's start with them:

From l to r: Barry M. 54 Clear, Barry M. Lilac Foil, Barry M. 292 Navy and Layla 04 Turquoise Wave

I bought Navy for my birthday (I was Mystique after all), and I can't remember when I got Clear and Lilac Foil...
Anyway, I got Turquoise Wave from my friend, Heli, as a present. It is one of those fancy magnetic effect nail polishes one, and it's pretty damn cool :3

I only have samples of Lilac Foil, Turquoise Wave, and in a sense Clear:

Layla 04 Turquoise Wave with Barry M. 54 Clear (base Gosh F1 Base)

Barry M. Lilac Foil. Base: Gosh F1 Base, top: Wet 'n' Wild E401A Clear Nail Protector

So no with those 4 added to my nail polish collection here, that makes it 19 nail polishes:

I need to figure out a place to keep these. I am more than happy to take suggestions!

Now that I got to the topic of presents, I might as well show you some other presents I got for Christmas .

I needed new boots that would keep the wetness outside, wouldn't be too slippery on ice, and would be warm. The result:

The fashionable version of women's hiking boots!

I am surprised that I managed to stay up with those on ice.
Picture above shows the two ways you can wear them... or you could do this:

Ta-dah!

Okay, if I am honest I don't even know what those things are called, my aunt gave them to me for Christmas.
I tried to google it, but all I came up with was: "Fur Lower Leg Boots Cover Socks" and "Fur Winter Ankle Lower Leg Warmer Boots Sleeve Cover" so yeah... I'm just gonna call them boot leg covers, until someone corrects me.

Basically, or simply, how they work is this:
1) Get boot leg covers.
2) Put them around your boots, so that the elastic part is inside your boots.
3) Wear the shoes like you would any other day.

This is what they look like normally. At least mine do.

Only problem is that the fur part does not yield so it's hard to get these around some boots... especially thicker ones.

I also got some other very usefull stuff as a present from my friend, Ida:

5 piece manicure kit and wet wipes that smell like strawberry :3

The manicure kit is for travelling or home, it's pretty handy and it goes to a small space. It's also decorated by crystallised Swarowski elements~ ♥

My oldest cousin, who knows me too well, gave me a tiara:

Her daugher (10 years old) and I were the only ones to receive these x)

I already have one tiara, but it is different. I might post a picture of it when and if I find one. This wasn't the only hair/head accessory I got.
My friend, Anna, gave me the cutest and coolest little hats:

She gave two to all of us from our high school posse (HSP). Each according to their personality x)

Can't wait for the day I can use these for something :3
Well, I did wear them during New Years, which my HSP made awesome by just saving me from being alone.

We played Dixit...

Which is this really funny story telling/word explaining game with picture cards.

We also played Master of Movies...

I came second, and we all were VERY frustrated with the questions about Finnish actors etc. x)

I squealed when I saw this card:

Because Scott Caan. I adore him.

We also were just silly and posed for each other, a bit like this:


Here's my eye make-up from New Years (forgot to post it earlier, oops):

Gosh and M.A.C. Nothing you readers haven't seen before x)

And of course we went to see some fireworks, duh:



And that's all for now! Stay human and blog you later!
