Polish Haul!

Hey everyone! :)

How are ya'll doing?

I am fantastic! Thank you for asking! :p

So, I apologize for the small break I took this week.

As some of you know, I went to NYC over the weekend.

Then when I got home Sunday I had to play a double-header for softball.

That makes for a long day... especially when you're tired.

Then I did have the day off Monday, but I spent the day cleaning! Yes, I cleaned... over doing nails!
What is wrong with me?

Oh yeah... my room was a disaster hole.

I also play volleyball Tuesday's and Thursday's. I've been pretty busy.. it is quite difficult to recuperate after a three day weekend! 

Tonight... I hosted an Arbonne party! Have any of you heard of this?

It's pretty great stuff! I found out about it when I went to a bridal show.

It was REALLY fun. I found the make-up I want to wear for my wedding... I think...

There are soooo many decisions to make! Goodness gracious!

Oh my lanta! I apologize for my life story!

On to the haul already!

 I went shopping on hautelook (http://www.hautelook.com/short/3BneA) during their Color Club sale

They had some really great things on there, but I ended up getting two mini sets.

I got them pretty quickly and was extremely excited!
I got eight colors total including: Style Icon, Muse-ical, By Design, In The Limelight, Ho-Ho Holly, Berry and Bright, Gift of Sparkle, and Snow Flakes.

On to the polish... Beware of pictures!

 

In The Limelight is a true periwinkle, light blue. It is probably my favorite out of all these! The blurred photo shows the true color in my opinion, so I included it.

 



Muse-ical is a very flat, glamorous, and edgy grey. It is very opaque and can be worn with one coat.

 

 

By Design is a medium-dark plum shade. This is also very opaque and one of my new favorites!

 

Style Icon is deep red. It is very classic and perfect for the fall season! Seen below is one coat.

 

Okay, now for the glitter polishes. I only did one nail per color because, let's be honest here, I did NOT want to remove glitter from all my nails four different times! Do you blame me? :p

 

Berry and Bright is a deep red with silver and blue micro glitter.

 

Ho-Ho Holly is a very deep green with blue undertones and gold shimmer. I am so in love with this color. It's perfect!

 

Snow-Flakes is an orange-pink flakie polish. 'nuff said. It is an EXACT dupe for Essie Shine of the Times.

 

 

Gift of Sparkle is my number one favorite out of all my new polishes. It is a purple microglitter base with loads of holographic glitter. It is so beautiful, I can't handle it!

 

 

Woah dang! Is it really midnight already? Where does the time go?

Thanks for reading!

Hello to all new followers! You guys are the best! (hugsss) :)

Now I am going to lay in bed and do a crossword puzzle. How old am I anyway?

 

 

 

C'est fini!

New Members

I know, I know...

it's been over a month since I've posted anything.

I've honestly just been getting my grown up life together.

I recently graduated from college so I was on the hunt for a big girl job.

Lucky for me, I landed an amazing job and I couldn't be happier!

But really, I have no excuse. I was lazy. Didn't post.

Don't worry! I didn't forget about ya'll.

Nail art is a huge passion of mine and it is very soothing to me.

That being said, I will never stop doing my own nails... Ever.

So.. I would like to come back with two new members of my little nail polish family!

I found these beautiful Zoya nail polishes at Ulta.

Honestly.. I can't believe I don't own more Zoya! They are SUPERB!

Anyway.. the colors I bought are Avery and Edyta.

They are so gorgeous and perfect fall (my favorite season) colors.

(actually, Rachel Zoe used Zoya Avery in her fall 2012 runway show!)

Avery is a cool, neutral beige that is creamy and very opaque!

 It's the perfect nude nail polish if you are on the hunt for a nude shade!

The second color, Edyta is indescribable!

That being said.. I will just give you the website's (www.zoya.com) description!

 "A complex mixture of gold, olive, blue-green and smoky grey with a sparkling metallic finish.

A dark shade balanced with sparkle for a dramatic look"

Perhaps now you see why it would be impossible for me to describe! :D

It is simply amazing!

 

(I don't have swatches because my next few posts will feature the colors! Stay tuned!)

 



Shine On

Today I decided to give myself a litte manicure using my two newest polishes from Julep. I adore these colors and the formulas and I am SUPER excited to get my March box! :]

Can you believe it's March already!? I only have 2 more months (or 68 days) until I graduate college, not that I'm counting or anything :D

So, here are my nails.

The colors are Meryl (grey) and Oscar (gold).

I did a little gold glitter highlight nail for some glitz!

Hot Pink Racing

Hey hey! I hope everyone is having a beautiful day!

I just did my nails using Julep Meryl because I could't wait to try out this beatiful grey!

I also used a polish called Screamin' Fuschia by Funky Finger (can't remember where its from!)

for the hot pink racing stripe! I almost didn't add anything to the grey because it looked so chic alone so that's why

I didn't go overboard. I just did something very simple with it so I could still enjoy the grey for the most part.

Now I want to say just how much I liked the Julep polish! It was opaque with just one coat, but I used two just to

darken the color a bit. I think this is my first actual creme color and I struggle a bit with getting it on my nails smoothy, but I managed and I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I want more! :)

Okay, okay... here's my nails:
