Just a quick nail polish post - I bought the Madison Australia December 2011 Magazine yesterday, which comes with a free Butter LONDON polish, and wanted to post while it was still available. You can choose between Trout Pout, a bright, coral-y salmon colour that I picked so you can see below and a taupe-y/sandy beige colour that I didn't look at the name of. I opted for Trout Pout as it has a cream finish, whereas the beige colour had a bit of shimmer - which I hate in pale polishes. Butter LONDON polished are usually $22 in Australia, so for the price of one of my favourite magazines at $8.95 this was quite the steal. I must admit - I'm quite glad I didn't fork out any more of my hard earned cash for it because I don't think the quality is all that great - it took three coats to get it opaque and streak free - and the colour isn't really one I will reach for regularly. But can't complain, it was a freebie after all!

The magazine issue is quite good actually - I love the true crime section that Madison always has, I have a morbid fascination with that kind of thing. Jessica Gomes looks gorgeous on the cover - she actually went to the same highschool as my husband, I think she was in the grade above him and had a locker just down from him, and he always tells me he had a crush on her. I can see why! How can I get my hair to look like that?

Anyway, on with the polish.

Every time I see the name of this polish I get "Trouty Mouth" from Glee stuck in my head - haha! Sidenote: Glee came back for like five episodes then went off the air for the Christmas break - grr Channel Ten, grr!
