Today I have a super fun post for you! Well, I call it super fun because it was really fun for me to write and even more fun for me to receive these lovely polishes. My birthday was back in September so I’m a little behind on doing this post that I had planned as soon as I received these. Some lovely ladies and I started a little birthday polish exchange group a few months ago. The first polishes I received were these two gorgeous BB Couture babies from Lesley:
Junk In The Trunk is a polish after my heart. It’s blue, it’s shimmery and it’s super opaque–what’s not to love? Since this was my first experience with BB Couture, I was so pleased with how easy the formula is to work with. I did not have to do any clean up with this mani–zero. The formula is medium thick and extremely opaque so I only needed two thin coats.
Michael is another amazing color. It’s a dark greyed purple with some muy caliente shimmer. I love how subtle the shimmer is in this polish. This polish comes from their men’s line which I didn’t even know existed. Upon doing a little research, this polish comes from their Infamous Lovers collection which pairs a female polish with its “infamous” male lover. The couples represented are: Adam/Eve, Anthony/Cleopatra, Clyde/Bonnie, John/Pocahontas, Romeo/Juliet and….Michael/Carla? I wracked my brain to think of famous Michael/Carla couples but could not think of any. It turns out that this duo is named after some friends of the owner–how cool is that? This polish was also perfection to apply and only 2 coats were needed.
Since we are such The Office nerds, both Lesley and I immediately thought of Michael Scott. I took it one step further and I swear I kept singing the Michael Scarn song and even tried to do the dance.
So thank you Lesley! These polishes are so freaking cool.
What do you think? Have you tried BB Couture yet?
Aaaaah! These are super gorgeous!

Thanks, Laura! I think it’s my favorite of the two. Plus, I can’t get over the name. hehe
Ack! Another lovely blue for me to drool over… btw, I always thought the mens line was still really just for the ladies?
Seriously! This blue is so gorgeous that I can barely stand it!! I don’t really think there is much of a difference between the men/women’s lines except that maybe you won’t see like bubblegum pink over on the men’s line. 🙂 I’ll take any polish! lol
OMG!!! I am so bummed that I missed out on this post!!! I was sick, BTW, I’ll catch y’all up when I get back on Twitter, probably tonight. OH, this just makes me smile! These look GREAT on you!!! You are so very welcome!!! I want to buy you more of them now, hahaha!
Well, thank you for the awesome gifts cause you know I love them. The blue is so freaking dreamy.

hehe…I love the office. I totally agree that it’s just not the same since Michael left but I’m toughing it out and watching it until the series ends even if it’s not as funny. And yes, Lesley rocks! She picked some awesome colors.

Yay, more enabling! *heart* I am liking our birthday polish group more and more, haha.
And I agree with you ladies…it’s not the same without Michael, but I love the show so much, I’m just keeping going. It’s almost the end, anyway 🙁
I haven’t been watching it much lately to be honest but I will catch up. I think the last episode I watched was when Jim called his friend about a new job or something like that?
That was pretty early on, maybe 1st or 2nd episode of the season. When you catch up, my favorite so far was the “Here Comes Treble”/Halloween episode.
Now I totally have to watch them all. lol
