It's Saturday - and there was no shortage of awesome happening this week!

Let's get it started, shall we?

Never Too Much Glitter gave us a great blog post on Tips for Nail Biters and Pickers - I'm a reformed biter and constant picker, so this was very informative to me - go check it out!
How about a DIY Nail Magnet? More Nail Polish went into painstaking detail about how to make your own and there are some wicked designs, too!!
Apparently this week there was an explosion of drama within the Indie Polish world and issues with glitters curling and zinc balls! Check out Pretty & Polished's post about these issues and good ways to resolve them with your seller.
How about some NEW LAYLA HOLOS?? The Holo Queen has our first look at 8 New Shades coming soon!
Check out The Top 5 Summer Nail Polish Trends by Gotham Polish!
Alizarine Claws gives us the First Look and Swatches of the OPI Germany Collection!
Orly Holiday 2012 Promotional photos are hitting the web this week thanks to Everything2k!
The Beauty Department shows us a stellar way to make a DIY Manicure Kit! I ran out to my car immediately and grabbed my zebra glasses case to do this!
Debbie at The Crumpet is doing a month long series on blogging - with tips, tricks and all kinds of cool information on starting/running and growing your blog! I recommend reading it ALL!

Picture time!
So I told you yesterday that I re-worked my watermark.
I also re-worked my border design and I think it's much more aesthetically matchy to my blog in general.
So here are the peaks at that along with my hauls for this week:

Cults Nails - Manipulative

NARS - Night Porter

Maisie Shine - Orion's Belt

Cult Nails - Fly With Me

Cult Nails - Hypnotize Me

Cult Nails - Living Water

And last but not least - my wonderful swap with Elizabeth from Nail Polish Is My Crack sent me this amazing Toxic Seaweed!

Funny side note - for those of you with good memories and a history reading my blog will know that my boyfriend is no stranger to being a swatch guinea pig when I get new polishes. So when Toxic Seaweed came home he said I could borrow his finger (which led to three fingers since I wanted to see Living Water and Orions Belt, too) to test it out. As he was painting it he said "Ooooh, this is a nice jelly!"

Say what?! He said "Hey, I listen sometimes"

Notice all these Cult Nails? I just got into them - and I'm also giving a bunch away, too!

And in other news - this has been going around for awhile so I thought I would throw my hat in the ring - I know some people like this kind of personal stuffers:
