NOTD: 30/05/09 Collection 2000 Shameless
Collection 2000 is one of those really, really cheap brands that tends to get ignored once you start buying more expensive brands. However, they do have some really stand out products. The nail polishes especially are really fantastic! I'll do a review and overview of my C2000 nail collection at some point, but here's last night's nails.
I'm still not the best at polish application, and I still can't quite get the angle right to photograph my nails.
This is "Shameless" from the fast dry range. I used two coats and Seche Vite top coat. It really does dry quickly! My thumb was dry by the time I reached my little finger. Fast dry polishes tend to dry quite flat looking so a coat of Seche Vite brought back the shine.
It's a very deep, sea green. There's a hint of blue to the colour which stops it being just deep green. I thought it had a hint of duo chrome in the bottle but it didn't really come out on the nail. Maybe that's where the blue hint is coming from.
Best part: it was £1.49 for the bottle!

Summer Dress
Keep Summer Dress at the Beach: How to Create a Dress Policy For Your Company
by Melissa Mashtonio
Dress codes or policies may seem to stifle individuality and lead to tension in an office, but if done properly, such regulations can have the opposite effect. Dress codes ensure the happiness of the employer by helping the company shape its image and create a work-focused atmosphere rather than one of relaxing at home. Additionally, dress codes can hinder problems of sexual harassment by requiring modest dress and eliminate Worker's Compensation claims that arise from unsafe dress.
Employees also benefit from dress regulations as it takes the guess work out of getting dressed for the job. A team environment is created as all employees are dressing similarly, creating a feeling of unity within the office. Also, uniform dress codes can ease tensions caused by coworkers criticizing the dress of one another as too fancy or too sloppy.
When setting a dress code, an employer should keep in mind that there is no set policy for every company. Dress regulations vary depending on the type of workplace; a factory would require different attire than an office, for example.
General regulations for an office environment include ruling out overly casual or revealing clothing such as mini skirts and see-through fabrics. Any regulations about piercings, tattoos, and hairstyles should be included in a dress code as well as any restrictions on perfumes and colognes. When creating a dress policy, it also may be helpful to consult employees as well as customers about what they think is appropriate. Changes can always be made to a dress code, and allowing employee input will make the policy seem less restrictive. It also may be helpful to look at the dress policies of similar companies in order to create a new dress policy.
Once a dress code has been created, it is important to make all employees aware of the policy. Periodic reminders of the dress policy are helpful, especially at the onset of summer. The most important factor in implementing a dress policy is for the employer to create an example by following the dress policy. If the boss is dressed according to the regulations, it is likely employees will be inclined to follow suit (no pun intended). There also should be enforcement of the dress policy, complete with disciplinary action for infractions.
Taking into account these factors, the creation of a dress policy should be easy and painless. Don't be shy about changing the policy if need be; just be sure to alert all employees to changes immediately. Taking employee opinions into account is key to making a dress policy work at your company. When the dress policy makes everyone happy, the company will run smoothly and efficiently while projecting an image of professionalism and unity.

The Wedding Table Decorations Concept
Wedding Table Decorations_1
Wedding Table Decorations_2
Wedding Table Decorations_3
Wedding Table Decorations_4
Wedding Table Decorations_5With so many tables to decorate, budget spouse may stretch thinner than the cloth when choosing how to make each table attractive. There are many simple ways to decorate the tables, but without the excessive costs Wedding with decorations.
Classic white tablecloths are the most common choice for Wedding But they are also the most predictable. Use these ideas to light unique tablecloths add flair and distinction to the table decorations:
* Choose a color fabrics for a more dramatic palettes that will also hide stains better
* Use banners, ribbons, napkins or layered fabric to create a central track, or add color tablecloth
* Choose lace or textured fabrics for more details
* Drape fabric on the edges of the table for greater visual impact
Which method is lit can greatly increase the table decorations and table decoration ideas for many Wedding include various light sources, as part of the decor. Features include:
* Candle central or tea lights, central emphases
* Floating candles or candles on a mirror reflects the light
* Twinkle lights strung along the side of the table, wrapped in tulle or lace
* The rope lights along the edge of the table
New Coastal Scents!
After a very long and busy day at work, I was immediately cheered up when I got home to discover a parcel packed full of some of Coastal Scents new products! I adore the way Coastal Scents pack their parcels. This came as a bundle of cheery yellow tissue paper wrapped around a purple bag.
And here is everything out of the bag:
-Eye Poxy Primer
-Bare Cosmetic Minerals Blush "Sun Kissed Flush"
-Fairy Dust Glitter 0.004 & 0.008 particle size
-Sterling Silver Glitter 0.004 & 0.008 particle size
-Camel Mica
-Red Comet Sparks Mica
-Emerald Isle Mica
-Chrome Carmine Mica
-Golden Satin Interplay Mica
-Blue Silver Star Mica
-Brush - Kabuki on a Stick
-Brush - Synthetic Buffer Brush Large
Have a look at a close up of the Fairy Dust, it's gorgeous!! Pretty rainbow sparks!! The 0.008 particle size is not eye safe so I'm not sure what I'll be using it for. I'll probably cover myself with them on my next night out. The 0.004 particle size is listed on Coastal Scents as eye safe so I'll probably make myself some glitter liners with those. Wonder how they'd stand up to being put in nail polish?
I'm most excited to be trying the brushes though! I've been after a flat topped brush for a while and this one feels divine on the skin. Just one thing to point out, the Kabuki on a Stick felt quite stiff and scratchy at first but a good cleaning took off whatever was coating it and it now feels lovely and soft. These two are new to the site so there aren't many reviews for them yet. Also, there's a close up of the brush heads.
I'll be letting you know what I think of the Eye Poxy once I've had time to give it a really good test. I've had a few requests to review it in the past so I suspect that will end up as a video and blog review.
Excuse me, I'm going to play with some glitter :)
