I got maaaiil!

You may remember a little while ago i took part in this...

A nail polish swap that was hosted by Tara and Celia

I was lucky enough to be paired with the wonderful Lena over at Mom to Memphis and Ruby

and just the other day a lovely little package arrived!

In it was a super sweet note

and these three adorable nail polishes!

I was so pleased to find an Essie nail polish in there as i have been desperate to try one FOREVER!

I have never tried any Sally Hansen nail polishes before but i am soo impressed i wore this colour for a week and it did not chip once!! it is much better than my OPI Meet me on the star ferry and it is almost the same colour!

Perfect shade for Christmas and the New Year

The Essie Power Clutch is B E A utiful! i would never have picked this colour out for myself but i am so glad Lena gave it to me because i LOVE it.

Oh also by the waaay did you know that i am taking part in

One Year in Bergen!!

Exactly one year ago today i arrived in Bergen, and knew almost straight away that this would be my new home. it has been an interesting year of up's and downs. I have gained friends and then lost them, and i have lost loves and found the best one. So to celebrate my first year here i thought i would show you some pictures....
