New Loot

It’s sunny today. It’s sunny and there is a great breeze outside so it’s absolutely perfect. Once it starts to get warm, the area where I live starts to get really congested with traffic from people going to the beach. There is a freeway a block away from me that pours into the main street heading down to the beach so it takes eons for me to get around that. Dang it people, stop swarming to the beach!

I thought it over and I decided that I will get the new Essie Poppy-razzi collection so I went to another one of my favorite nail stores to see if they had it out yet, but they said it would be coming in later. Welllllll…what’s a girl to do when there are thousands of bottles of nail polish all around?  I ended up picking up a few summery colors and a couple of very dark and vampy colors–something that my dark nail polish twin over at Nails Of Many Colors would like.

Lately I have been really into Essie. I don’t know why all of a sudden I’ve been buying tons of Essie. I think it’s because they are becoming much more adventurous with their collections. Can you remember when Essie was all about really blah pastels? I like pastels, but I need variety too!

 

Jessica is another brand that I’m enjoying more of lately as well. These are such dark colors that will look awesome this fall. I don’t really adhere to seasonal colors so I’ll wear whatever I want, whenever I want.

 

And lastly, I got some cuticle oil to keep on my nightstand. I have really been neglecting my cuticles lately, and they have been looking super gross.

 

I’m trying to decide what to do with my nails right now. I just accidentally smashed my middle finger with a sliding glass window so I’m dreading the idea of possibly losing my nail and having to wait for it to grow out and all that. It was so painful that I thought I saw little stars like in cartoons when someone gets hit by an anvil.  Well, since there is a lot of sunlight right now, I’d better get my mani done so I can take some decent pictures of it.

  1. love love love! my dark polish twin you selected amazing colors!!! where is that Jessica brand?! I also love the two Essie's on the left!

    1. I had never heard of Jessica before until I saw it at a new nail place I went to. I actually really like them a lot. I know you can buy them online at their website…they're like OPI prices so I'm not too happy about that. With the amount of nail polish I have, I want everything cheap!
      Oh, I forgot to tell you: I read on nouveau cheap that NYC has a Matte top coat that works amazing. I know you were looking for the essie one and couldn't find it. This one should be easy to find: nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2012/04/review-new-nyc-matte-me-crazy.html

  3. Oooo nice Essie selection! I love Essie too ever since they started to expanded with their shades. If I ever just feel like getting a polish and have no idea what I want I can always rely on seeing an Essie I'd like. I just picked up two of the colors from Poppy Razzi collection, Action and Camera. They looks like creamsicle colors together 🙂

    1. At first I said I wasn't going to get any of the poppy razzi colors, but I think I will because I've never tried Essie neons…do they have neons besides these three? Well, there goes my will power. And this comes on the heels of ordering like 15 Zoyas….I have no shame.

  5. I am a big fan of wearing what nail polish you want, when you want. Regardless of season and especially regardless of what clothes you're wearing. You go! 😉

    1. We are nail polish rebels…sorta. I don't usually match my nails to my clothes but sometimes it just works out that way because I have a lot of purple stuff…clothes, make up, nail polish, glasses, accessories. lol

      1. That's what happens with me and orange. I have a lot of outfits with an orange accent so when I do orange nails I'm like very matchy matchy. Luckily I have a lot of different colors of clothes especially for spring/summer and lots of nail polishes so if you do the probability with all the combinations it's pretty unlikely to have a match. 🙂 Yay for np rebels! Rebel team.
