Nail Polish Makes Me Happy!

 I admit, I have a problem when it comes to nail polish...I'm just *a little* addicted!!  I have this small, glittery, pink Caboodle that I've had since jr. high - I had even ordered a gold plate with my name engraved in it to stick on the top - that I've always kept my polish in.  Well, it was overflowing so I had to suck it up and go buy a bigger one, which is getting scary close to overflowing too!  Yes, a 29 year old went to the store and purchased a bright pink Caboodle.  *gasp*  Whatevs...I have no shame and I happen to ♥ my teeny bopper box of fun!!  Don't judge :)


Here are my nails this week...


Zoya in Pippa - I picked this up in the clearance section at Ulta for 3 bucks!!
Sinful Colors in All About You


That lasted one day until I got bored with it!  What can I say...a girl's gotta have variety!
I painted over the gold with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Wet Cement
Then I painted over all my nails with Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Diamonds - I absolutely love this line.  Can you tell by the half empty bottle??  I have almost every color.  It makes my nail so strong!


Meet my new FAVORITE top coat.  I found this through stalking some fellow bloggers :)  I am in LOVE with this stuff!!  You know when you go get your nails done in the salon and they put the top coat on (usually in a brown bottle with no label) and it makes your nails super shiny, dry fast, and last forever?!?!  Well, I'm not sure if this is the same stuff, but it's pretty freakin' close!!  I made a special trip to Ulta just for this!

    I need to buy a good topcoat! THanks for the tip. And the nails look fabulous. I could never pull off yellow but you certainly did!

    I keep saying I'm going to buy that top coat and keep forgetting to. I've heard it's amazing though!

    Me and another blogger will be hosting our 2nd annual nail polish + scarf swap starting next Friday so you'll have to check it out! ;)

    I'm in love with that first nail look! You're also the billionth person to praise Seche Vite, so obviously I need to try it! :D

    “Teeny bopper box of fun”? I like your style! And I had no idea you could still buy caboodles. Where?!? I really love the yellow! And Seche Vite. I feel like I’m putting heavy duty glue on my nails, but it works so well!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture but I was more focused on getting some makeup on my fac

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people.  Ok, maybe it's not t
