Well, here I am still sick. I think that now that the weather is changing again (it was really cool this morning), my body is just going nuts. It’s kind of crazy that while we have been in the 80’s for the last week, other parts of the country are completely snowed in. Yep, I shouldn’t be complaining about sunny, hot days even though it is the middle of January. Today I have the other polish that Daniel brought back for me from his recent trip to South Africa. Here is Golden Rose 37:

Golden Rose 37 1aGolden Rose 37 2This color screams Spring to me so it’s actually rather fitting considering the warm weather we are experiencing lately. I really like this beautiful melon color, but I found it to be an application beast. The formula is touted as a 1 coater, but it needed 3 coats to even out. Still, I love this juicy color and anticipate wearing it a lot this Spring/Summer.

So what have you been up to lately? I hope that I get over this nasty allergy/head cold thing so I can actually feel normal again….well, as normal as I can get. I decided to do some major purging today so I’m going to be setting up a lot of stuff for sale including eye shadow palettes mostly by Urban Decay, Stila and Too Faced. Make sure that you check out my blog sale page here for all the new items. I hope to have them up to day in addition to all the nail polish I have on there already. Thanks for the visit today and talk to you soon!

Hola my polish friends! For most of you, Friday means that your weekend is about to start. But for others like me, who work on the weekends, it just means that another week is almost coming to an end. Can you believe we are almost half-way through the first month of 2014?? Can you believe it’s actually 2014?! I’m not freaking out thinking that I’m getting older, even though I am, but I am thinking a lot about all the stuff I haven’t done. One of the things I constantly think about is that I had made a pact with my best friend, Daniel, to TRY climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro before we turned 30. Did that happen? NOPE. I’m now 34 and in terrible shape so I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon. I also just would NOT be able to afford it since it is quite expensive so now I’m stuck lamenting my poor planning and my even poorer finances. (Is poorer a word? It just sounds weird to me like “fork.”) Daniel still works in the travel industry and he still goes on vacations that make me jealous. His last vacation was to South Africa which he said was great. Any time he goes on any kind of vacation, I ask him to bring me back some polish. When he went to Puerto Rico last year, he brought me back my very first Bettinas. This year, he brought me back some Golden Rose polishes which I hadn’t really heard much about , but you know me: always happy to try something new! The polish I have to share with you today is Golden Rose 09 so let’s take a look at my swatches.

Golden Rose 09 1aGolden Rose 09 2Golden Rose 09 is a hot pink polish…hello! Daniel sure knows my favorite colors! From looking online, this polish line is supposed to cover in one coat, but I didn’t think that was an accurate claim. The first coat covers well, but it definitely needs a second coat. I am not too sure where this brand really comes from, but I’ve never seen it in the US. It’s such a ME color that I am totally in love with it.

A big thanks to Daniel for such an awesome polish (1 of 2) that he brought back for me…even if I do force him to buy me gifts. hahaha Anyway, what do you think of this polish? Is this a brand that you’re familiar with? Let me know if there is something you have been wanting to do but haven’t gotten a chance to do yet. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope you’re having a nice Friday.
