OPI Alice in Wonderland = Project 10 Pan Fail

Project ten pan has been a failure, i managed two items and then caved at the sight of small sparkly things once again....

I partly blaim my manicurist, who let me down the road to temptation, by painting my nails in the gorgeous 'Thanks so muchness' a lovely deep classy shimmery red.

I found it really difficult to photograph, in real life it has a beautiful shine and is slightly deeper, like the shade in the first photo. I searched swatches on the internet and found a lot of people have found it hard to photograph, glad it is not just me!

The little set retails for £12.15 and contains a mini bottle of all four shades in the collection, which i don't consider too bad price wise.  I can't wait to try the dark glitter called 'Mad as a Hatter' and i will be sure to post as soon as i do! I'm undecided on the blue glitter 'Absolutely Alice', not sure it i really my style but i will give it a go!

I can't wait for the Paul and Joe Alice in Wonderland collection either, i loved the Disney collection from last year!

What do you all make of the Alice in Wonderland inspired collections? Any favourites or are you just not fussed?

TAG- 10 Things that make you happy : )

The lovely Vex in the City tagged me for this post, so here goes!

10 things that make me happy

1. My mini- it makes me smile everytime i drive it, sad but true.

2. Unique car boot/ charity shop finds- I love this bracelet i got from a car boot so much, i've never seen one like it!

3. My lovely boyfriend- well it would be pretty sad if he didn't make me happy after three years  : )

4. Gossip Girl- i can dream of that lifestyle for just a few short minutes : )

5. Happy Hippos- they do actually make me happy

6. Payday- enough said.

7. Parcels in the post- there is nothing more exciting then opening up a parcel, far more exciting than shopping in the city!

8. The smell of rain in the heat- i don't know why it is just so refreshing

9. My trollbead bracelet- each bead means something to me and brings back special memories

10. Hugh Grant films- Sad as it is they always make me smile!

I'm not sure who has done this tag, so i tag all my followers who want to do this tag! Link me to your post, i'd love to read them!
