Bye bye mister mailman!

Today, I'll see my regular mail man for the last time *crowd goes: ahhhwwww*

He has a new job from November 1st. I've done quite some online shopping over the last few months and, well, he's the guy that has kept me sane. He kept me supplied with polish. There were weeks when he came by EVERY SINGLE DAY! Yeah I know that's bad!

Here are some of the coolest things he has brought me in the last 2 months:


Two and a half years ago, he backed into my dad's car. That was the moment when our mailman became more familiar to us. You know, without him, I couldn't have kept my blog up and running with all the pretty pretty polishes to show you. Sure, someone else would have brought the packages, but my Autism liked seeing the same face and the same van every time and I'll have a hard time getting used to anyone else.

This feeling will be familiar to most of you: you're expecting a package. You know it will be delivered some time in the afternoon, but you're not sure when. So you check the clock, and check it again, and your eyes flash to every white van that drives through your street. Then finally it's the right van so you jump up and you run to the door and... you stand there for a couple of minutes while the guy tries to find your package in the back of his van. This mailman knew I'd be watching so he didn't even ring the doorbell anymore if he had seen me lurking, I'd be at the door before he was.

Not familiar to you? Then you shouldn't be here! Go hide in a corner somewhere...

Ofcourse, dork that I am, I thought my last package before November was delivered last week, so I gave him a card to thank him. ...What? I'm nice like that!

Okay, I guess I just wanna say: Be nice to your mailman/woman, wherever in the world you may be!

Hop over to the second part of my GlitterBunny review


Welcome to part two of my review of four ah-MAH-zing GlitterBunny polishes. These are, as the name says, full of gorgeous glitter and I'm just completely in love with them! Lookie lookie here and also check out my other half of the review!

GlitterBunny Polish is an indie brand from Israel. Nicole, the maker of these beauties, is SUCH a sweetie! I swear you won't be disappointed when you purchase from her. I love that the polishes are 5-free and they are cruelty free. Plus, she ships to everywhere around the world for only $4,50! The polishes are simply amazing, and if my promise to you isn't enough, I'll show you just how perfect they are. I've split up my review into two parts due to how many pictures I have of these. I couldn't pick, they're all gorgeous.

I received I Got A Goodie BagLittle Pink DressDon't Be Such A Guppy and Part Of That World. I reviewed the first two yesterday, I'm continuing my review with Don't Be Such A Guppy and Part Of That World! The photos with the white background are taken in daylight near a window, the black background is in my studio.

The bottles are the usual round 15ml/0,5fl.oz size with the nice flat brush that I love so much. The name is on a label on the bottom (don't turn it upside down with the cap off!). There's something that surprised me, and that is that the polish smells... well... actually pretty good. It's not scented, it's a very obvious nail polish smell, but it doesn't smell as harsh as certain main stream brands. I've noticed some other indies have this smell too, and it's the smell of home to me. Okay, gushy mode *off* and let's hop to it!

What if my rats were people....

Warning, cute rat pics ahead!

It was about time my furbabies made another appearance on my blog! After all, fRATselarius does have RAT in the name! Do you ever wonder what your pets would be like if they were people? I had to describe the personality of different cars once, it was a school assignment. I do the same thing with my rats so I thought it would be fun to write it down for you guys!

Sea floor nail art

Hi y'all! (Sorry I have a southern accent stuck in my head LOL) I was wearing one of my birthday polishes, Picture Polish Ocean, when I saw a lovely design @madamluck had made with it (see it HERE). She is absolutely AMAZING with her acrylic paint, and I loved the sea floor idea so I tried my hand at it!

Mine turned out a litle bit childish, but I love how detailed my sea horse and my crab are! These are all hand painted with actual polish, I used Zoya Godiva for the sand because it made for an awesome sand effect. I used a lot of my Bondi polishes too, I just received Chasing The Sun as a prize last week so that's what I used for my crab. I call him Sebastian <3

I made a turtle on my thumb and I just HAD to show you, he's so cute! He turned out really well and detailed! Unfortunately, this young lady right here forgot to sit still for two minutes to wait for her top coat to dry *deep sigh* I jumped up, ran to my light box and totally smudged his little tail end...

My prize from Wonder Beauty Products!

Sometimes you win, and most times you don't. But when I win a prize, I'm sure to jump through the roof! I've been participating in the Wonder Beauty Products daily giveway for a short while and I check it every day. Then, suddenly, my own pic appeared and I won a mystery box filled with polish goodies!

Here's the pic of my box right after I opened it (and removed the protective packaging). I received:
- Three SuperChic Laquers (LOVE these unique bottles!)
- Holographic pigment for polish mixing
- A heart shaped ring (very pretty)
- Super cute pumpkin glitter
- American candy!!! I've never had a Tootsie roll before but I've heard so much about them!


I swatched my polishes right away! I'll show you Mink, Funnel Cloud and Enchanted Slippers and do a little review while I'm at it. The pics with the white background are taken in indirect sunlight and the black background indicates my light box.
