im currently on my Spring Break this week...and yesterday, on my first day of break, i had to work.. a full-almost 10hr day. it was a bummer. but then, i got a tweet from my sister that my package from Steff, over at Short 'n Chic, had come in - already! [i was lucky enough to win her awesome giveaway! =)] i was so excited for work to hurry up & end so i could go home and open it up!
here's what i came home to:
i opened it up to find:
these beautiful polishes and
two Dior Addict perfumes - smells soooo nice!, Wet n Wild eyeshadow, and a card!
i did some swatches of my newly arrived polishes last night as well... it was late at night when i took these pictures so the lighting in some of the pictures suck & my hands are different colors in the pictures; so im sorry in advance.
Sally Hansen Going Green. here is two layers of this very pretty green! im bummed that i wasnt able to capture the tiny little shimmer that is in the polish.
Sinful Colors Surf'n Blue. im not going to lie, i wasnt sure how this one would turn out...but after two coats of this polish, i fell in love! i really like it!
China Glaze For Audrey. i love this color! my old For Audrey was getting kinda thick & i was just about to buy a new bottle, but no need! here's two coats of F.A.
Essie Mint Candy Apple. ever since i got into nail art, almost 6-7 months ago, i've always wanted this polish! for some reason, i just never found one. but im so glad i finally got it! i love it! [i couldnt get a good picture of this one. bummer. the polish is a bit more aqua? a little less blue.]
Claire's Cotton Candy. this one definitely smelt like cotton candy! even after i took it off, i could still smell a small bit of it. haha to me, the polish looks a little frosty? [can i describe a polish like that? haha] it took me three layers to get to this. there are small glitters and bigger hexagon glitters in the polish. very pretty!
this was my first blog giveaway that i entered and i luckily won! so, again, thanks Steff! =)
speaking of blog giveaways, i did say that once i hit 50 followers, i'll do my own giveaway! i've really had the urge to do a giveaway! haha so..21 more followers.. =D
anyway, today is my first official day off. im getting lunch with my friends in a bit, but i hope i can come home and swatch a few more polishes from my haul from last week. and i also have to post up my St. Patrick's Day mani!
so i'll be back later. have a great day & enjoy the sunshine! =)
