Moo Moo’s Signatures Color4Nails Exclusives

Moo Moo’s Signatures Color4Nails Exclusives

Hello! How is your Wednesday going so far? I am doing pretty well, and I’m excited for my my nephew’s upcoming birthday party. Little Jonas turns 2 next week and we are going to his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese’s. I can’t believe he’s been around for 2 years causing all sorts of commotion. I love to see how different he is from his older brother–they are so similar yet so different. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of stories from his birthday party because beer and pizza always creates an interesting environment. Lately it feels like I’ve been a swatching machine so I’m trying to come up with some plan for more balance. I don’t want to spend my whole weekends swatching and writing up posts, but there are so many pretties to play with and show you! I might be switching up my posting schedule in the next few weeks to avoid burning out. In the meantime, I have plenty of things scheduled to show you, one of them being the Moo Moo’s Signatures Color4Nails Exclusives. Continue reading “Moo Moo’s Signatures Color4Nails Exclusives”

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Assassin’s Creed Origins Trio

Bee’s Knees Lacquer Assassin’s Creed Origins Trio

Are you into video games? I’ll be honest…I’m stuck in the past when it comes to video games. I am a child of the 80’s so I grew up playing NES and eventually SNES. Don’t mention Sega to me, because I will get mad. I spent countless hours playing Mario Bros (read this post about the day I beat the game), Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Super Metroid and my favorite game of all time: Chrono Trigger. Has anyone made a Chrono Trigger nail polish collection?? Anyway, enough about me being old. Today I have some pretties to share with you that are also inspired by a video game. The Bee’s Knees Lacquer Assassin’s Creed Origins Trio is a small and cohesive collection with beautiful colors and finishes. Let me show you some swatches below.

Bee’s Knees Lacquer COTM Duo – March 2018

Bee’s Knees Lacquer COTM Duo – March 2018

I know that February was a short month, but why does it feel like the first two months of the year just flew by? I can’t believe that it’s March already! I sound so much like my parents right now; is this what it feels like to get old? Pretty soon I’ll start to use phrases like “back in the day” and “kids today” on a regular basis. Since I had a bunch of polishes to swatch this weekend, I took the opportunity to give away some polishes. I was watching Hoarders on Hulu as I decluttered a bit to help me get more motivated. lol My family calls me the anti-hoarder because I get so worked up getting rid of stuff that I throw out or give away tons of stuff that I should keep. I just get so paranoid about having clutter, that I want to get rid of everything. This is especially hard when it comes to my nail polish. This weekend I swatched about 20 polishes, and today I want to share with you the Bee’s Knees Lacquer COTM Duo for March 2018. What is COTM, you ask? Why…Color of the Month, of course! Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “Bee’s Knees Lacquer COTM Duo – March 2018”

Are your ninja fingers ready for Polish Pickup Pack this Friday? I have a few polishes I CANNOT miss out on for March, so I’m working out, carb loading and doing finger stretches so I can Hunger Game that ish. I am really mad at myself for missing out on previous polishes because I wasn’t prepared, but there’s not much I can do about it now. One of the BEST things about PPU is the shipping; they keep shipping within the US and Canada at $3!!! Say what?! Today I have KBShimmer’s contribution to PPU for March 2018: KBShimmer If You Want My Bodice. Let me show you some swatches below. Continue reading “KBShimmer If You Want My Bodice – PPU March 2018”

How’s your Saturday going? Since I had such a short work week, I feel like Saturday just crept up on me, but I’m definitely not complaining. I don’t feel like I have too much to take care of this weekend, so I’m going to chill out, do some swatching and maybe binge watch Grace and Frankie. Have you caught that series on Netflix? I personally love it but haven’t had the time to binge the 4th season. Maybe this is my weekend for it! Today I have some really gorgeous polishes to share with you. If you don’t know about the brand Bee’s Knees, then you may be living under a rock because they have been on fire! The two shades I have for you today are the Bee’s Knees Lacquer Color4Nails Exclusives that launch tomorrow on the Color4Nails site. Let me show you some swatches.

Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer – Small Batch Release

Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer – Small Batch Release

Hey there Monday readers! I hope that you are having an ok Monday–as ok as Mondays can be anyway. I had a decently boring weekend so I feel somewhat energized for the new week. I am definitely looking forward to the upcoming weekend since I took an extra day off after the holiday so HELLO FOUR DAY WEEKEND! I know that February is a short month so I’m not even going to mention how crazy it feels that we are almost halfway through the second month of 2018. If only California would stop having 80 degree days, that would be awesome. I did a bunch of changes to my blog this weekend and would love to hear what you think about the layout and such. It’s still a work in progress since my coding skills are non-existent and I’ve had to rely on a free template that I will slowly customize. Today I have some polishes from Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer that are part of a small batch release. Let me show you my swatches below.
