GLORIOUS!

Two more posts after this and I'm totally caught up with my backlog! I'm feeling so efficient over this break..I wrote a paper, went to numerous Dr. appts., bought TONS of polish (I literally thought three polishes would be enough for one week at home..but no, I bought about 20 more since I have been home shopping for my swap! Its a sickness!!) and logged some time with my besties..I'm a beast. GROWL. 

This polish today is Periwinkle by Petites Color Fever.




Yeah I know, the last picture quality is like really really really bad but i wanted you to get a close up look (I've finally figured out the art of taking a good picture so hopefully no more bad pictures!).  Well ok so this polish, like I said in my post about Vintage Gray (here) had such a better application than the gray so I was really excited about using it.  This is one of the only three polishes I took home for my spring break..that must say something, its one of my fav's.  It went on silky smooth, I used three coats just because I like the color after it gets extra saturated, it comes out bluer if that's a word haha.  I again used the NYC Extra Shiny Top Coat over it.  This one and only bad thing about this polish is that it chipped after like a day and a shower. I think I need to try doing thinner coats, maybe that will help. Hmm..w/e. Rite Aid- $3.99 (expensive for .25 fl oz I think, but worth it).

Woah, okay so I'm watching Pretty Little Liars right now and 1. Aria was texting her teacher/boyfriend and obviously I was looking at her nail polish and it was this pretty blue color when the frame was set wide, and then 2. When they zoomed in on her texting, HER NAILS WERE A DIFFERENT COLOR..and guess what..it totally looked like a dupe for this exact polish I'm posting about!! how funny!

Okay, to bed I go..night!

New and Improved!

As you can tell (and hopefully like), I re-designed my blog today =)  I'm loving all the new fonts that are offered now... I finally feel like a real blogger, how 'bout that! hehe

So I've been getting in touch with tons of developed bloggers and trying to figure out how they gathered their followers and pretty much how they became AWESOME. Surprisingly tons of them were willing to help me out but for the people I didn't get to ask...how about adding me to your blog roll? I'm really trying to have more than 8 followers (although I appreciate those people who believed in me when I was just first starting) so I am really trying anything.  Now I have something to ask you guys, what is this Swap thing I've been hearing about (from ThePolishAholic)? Does anybody know the rules or how it works? I'm willing to try it if anybody else is..it sounds pretty cool and a great way to get my name out there.  Let me know if you are interested!

Yesterday I used Vintage Gray Petites Color Fever that I got from Rite Aid for $3.99 (a little steep for such a little bottle -.25 FL OZ).


Who else loves this color as much as I do? I've used it before but obviously I have forgotten that its so awesome.  So here's the thing, although the color is spot on the application is a little thick.  I used three coats for opacity and topped it off with Seche Vite. The color tends a little towards purple at some points,  but then like a light army green at others (in artificial light)... but it always has a hint of brown, making for the perfect soft cream gray.  I also have Petites Color Fever in a periwinkle color and I have to say that the application of that polish was much better than this application. (weird right?)  I would DEFINITELY recommend this color and brand although application is a little tricky.

Please don't forget about the swap thing..I'm really excited to try it!!
