i haven't painted my nails much lately but a recent trip to nyc changed that. had to meet up with someone and unfortunately for them, their subway stop was across the street from ricky's. i couldn't resist going in and i got a nice purplish periwinkle shade. my mom got some cheap polish set that had a teal glitter so i put that on the tips today. the camera flash made the polish look a bit more blue and dulled the teal contrast but you get the idea. yay new nail colors!

I recently hauled a whole lotta polishes due to a friend in the beauty biz de-stashing her 300 odd collection. 8o
This shade is Orly Gumdrop - I'm a sucker for opaque brights!
 
^it only took me a couple hours. i just sent an invite to your gmail listed on your fb account. hopefully that will come through. :)
 
Oh I'm getting jealous over here!
I need a pedi!
I gave myself one a couple weeks ago b/c I was petrified to go in.
I have a toenail split down the center :( EEEEK! And the top was breaking off! haha
I wanted to save it and not have to have someone cut it too low. Glad I did but now my poor little feet need some attention.
Summer is coming soon and I LOVE going in for a pedi! I think I may need to do that here soon!


So I've been trying out Benefit's different primers and also Urban Decay's all nighter spray.
I'm IN LOVE with the all nighter spray. I highly recommend it. I'm surprised at how well it works!
I thought a) it would make my makeup cakey b/c it's a mist and putting moisture on top of my makeup didn't sound right b) there was no way a little mist could keep my makeup from coming off or doing all it claimed c) It couldn't do all it claimed.
I am pleased to announce, it does what it claims :)
My makeup doesn't cake from the moisture on top of powder, my makeup stays put and still looks smooth after all day/night, and seems to work well even on a hot day!

I also have just started using MFE's HD powder which I must say is light and lovely. Another I would recommend.
 
^nice. :) I <3 all nighter as well. I got it just for special occasions but ended up using it whenever I wear makeup. It's that good.
 
i found that site when looking up photos of Birch Box. Might try to get my brother to go in on a subscription with me for Mother's day :)
 
^Zomg! I would dieeee for that!!

I actually just cataloged my whole stash for Pinterest - I have 208 polishes! A lot by most standards, but nothing compared to that! I took some pictures that I'll post when I'm not on my lunch break!
