Pleasant Surprise

Last night Fancy took my to Wiregrass Mall. I was very happy to go because I've been losing weight and my pants have started to fall down, so my plan was to find a new pair of pants! One of our stops was Sephora in JCPenney because I found a coupon online for a free sample of lip gloss from bare minerals. I've only been in Sephora once, however they didn't have any samples =( but the girl said that she could make me a sample out of anything! I decided to go with a sample of Vera Wang's new perfume called "LoveStruck". It's a very nice smell! I'm happy with my sample =) um so of course after I got my sample, I turn around and oh hello nail polish! I picked up this little beaut!

I didn't realize OPI made polish for Sephora so imagine my excitement! This one is called "Set the Mood" This I think will be my next mani (after the one I just did... more on that later)!

Our next stop at Wiregrass was American Eagle! One of my favorite stores! I found a really cute outfit!

My sweater was an extra 50% off....but.....I may have paid full price for my jeans. I bought the sweater and the jeans! Oh did I mention I've lost 13 pounds? ^___^ I brag a little because I've worked really hard! I've been watching what I eat and exercising regularly! I had an interesting conversation with one of my customers, here's how it went down:
Her: "You lose weight?"
Me: "Yes! Can you tell?"
Her: "Hmmhmm... so you not eating?"
Me: "Uh.... no I eat. I just don't eat a bunch of crap." Aaaaand then I walked away (lol).

Anyways!! I noticed that American Eagle has kind of picked up a bit of an Urban Outfitters feel (which is fine with me!). I say this because they had books, lots more jewelery, more wallets and purses.... oh uh and polish! They had this itty bitty display of teeny tiny bottle their own brand nail polish. As I stated last post, my Moulin Rouge mani didn't last long... it may have lasted longer if I hadn't chipped it at work today. >_< I have a really bad habit of picking my nail polish off once it chips. Usually I get lucky and it chips when I'm at home and I can just take it off right then. I wasn't so lucky today, I picked aaaaaaalllllllll the polish off, it was almost embarrassing how ugly my nails looked with bits of red polish still clinging on for dear life to my nail. I work with my hands a lot at work and I'm constantly handing things to people. I dropped lots of things today trying to hide my nails! Getting home I knew I HAD to do something to my nails so I decided to go with my teeny tiny bottle of polish I bought from American Eagle, on sale, for a buck!

This no name polish is AWESOME! I LOVE the color. It took two coats to be opaque. The polish went on super smooth and dried very fast.

Color wise, I would call this Mauve. Who knew mauve could be so hot? I'm thinking I'll be taking a trip to American Eagle again tomorrow to retrieve a few more colors! And maybe an extra bottle of this color! =D

Thanks for reading!! Till next time! 

China Glaze Moulin Rouge

Lately, I've been giving my nails a bit of a rest from polish. I was painting them a TON and I trimmed them back and just put some strengthener on them until they were finished with their recooping-ness. And now they are! I've been DYING to try my new China Glaze "Moulin Rouge" polish! Unfortunately I'm on the ropes about this one. The polsih in the bottle looks AMAZING. There's lots of different colored glitters in it.

Of course you can't see them in this picture >_< I should really just take the pictures with my actual camera instead of my phone but it's just so much more convient this way ^_^

I was sooooooooooooooo excited for this color....

uuuugggghhhhhh.... I started with Finger Paints base coat, then applied two coats of polish. It was very difficult to get even on my nails. Maybe I didn't mix it up enough but sometimes it felt almost gel-like. After two coats of polish, I topped it with TWO coats of OPI top coat and because of all the glitter I couldn't get a smooth finish. IDK, this may be one that looks better in the bottle =( Needless to say I don't think this will be staying on my nails for very long.

New finds

This weekend was at first somewhat difficult but then turned out to be ok! Fancy's grandmother wasn't doing too well at first (But don't worry! She's doing better!). We were in charge of getting breakfast so we wandered into a Publix down there. I always like going to a Publix that I haven't been in before, I like to look at the things they have that we don't carry here! I found some polish ooooof course! We carry China Glaze but they had some colors I hadn't see before! So I narrowed it down to two (Fancy wouldn't let me get the four that I wanted).


Then, yesterday I wandered over to Ulta and found a pretty cool OPI set, plus they gave you a free top or bottom coat. I also picked up my first Essence polish.

(From Left to Right): OPI "William tell me about OPI", China Glaze "Moulin Rouge" (HAD to get this because of the name! Moulin Rouge is one of my all time favorite movies!), OPI "I'm not really a waitress", China Glaze "Strawberry Smoothie", and Essence in "Just rock it!".


Can't wait to try them all! Thinking about doing the pink first for Breast Cancer Awareness.

OPI trial run

Hello readers just a quick little update! Last week I got the OPI nail polish that I ordered from Amazon as well as three new collections from Color Club (which are amazing!) TO kick off October, I thought a darker polish would be nice and since I've never used OPI polish before I decided to go with OPI's "My Private Jet". This color is awesome! It went on really smooth and dried pretty quickly without any tiny bubbles after it was dried (sometimes after I paint my nails I notice that little bubbles formed in the polish). I really love the brsuh because it's just the right size and I can pretty much do one even stoke of color and it covers my entire nail. I used two coats to get it nice and even. I then finished it off with a coat of Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails which caused a little bit of shrinkage.

I looked at the polish in the sun and I was surprised at how many different colored little sparkles where in it! The polish itself looks black, but in the light has an almost coppery undertone to it then on top of that there's all the glitter (red, purple, blue, green). I love OPI!

Shopping with my Button! (LOL)

Yesterday, Leah and I hung out and she got to meet Jax! After playing with puppy for a while she and I went to Ross and this really cute boutique called La Pink. I thought La Pink was a new shop but apparently it's been there for 5 years! They carry Vera Bradley and I've been getting the VB itch! It was a really nice shop and Leah and I both found something! At Ross we were looking at shoes! I found these super cute "Guess" shoes, I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty much in love with them. I'm not even going to try and describe them, they were $32.99 which is GREAT for a pair of Guess heels... excpet I found... some color club nail polish.

This was one that I found a few posts ago and decided to not buy it.... well it was the only one and I decided it was a sign =]

I have been reading some of the blogs and a few people have been using the Color Club Foiled collection. I was SUPER stoked to find this!! I can't wait to use them!

Also a few posts ago I found the other version of this collection. This is Collection A so now I have both A and B!


So I decided to get all three collections and skip the shoes. It was painful trust me, I've never said no to shoes before! But who knows maybe this Thursday I'll see if they're still at Ross =]


I just got three different collections of nail polish and of course I had to paint my nails! I couldn't choose, there were so many! OH! I can't believe I almost forgot! I also [FINALLY] got the polish I ordered from Amazon!!!!

My first OPI's!! I got "My Private Jet", "Russian Navy" (which I thought was going to be more blue, this has purple. blue, and red sparkles in it!), and "Princesses Rule!" Unfortunately my pink leaked a little bit =[ but thankfully I didn't lose too much!


Back to my mani! Leah picked the neon blue from my neon collection!

This is two coats, without a top coat. I should probably have done another coat but I had puppies running around me!
