Pinks, Polka Dots, & Bunnies

hiyeom!~ another short post for today.


the dark pink is 3 coats of F21's Love & Beauty Salmon. the light pink is 4 coats of Ulta's Sweet Tart. yes, sadly i had to use 4 coats. the polish is SO pretty but its kinda a streaky mess. the white polish i used is 4 coats of Revlon's Powder Puff. ugh, i hate having to use 4 or more coats of polish!!! T_____T but i loooove Powder Puff! theres a beautiful, slight blue flash in the polish! too bad it had a whole mess of bubbles when i woke up the next morning =/

the bunnies on my thumb & pointer finger are part of a recent package i got from Born Pretty Store.


my many, new fimo sticks! the package i received came with little special cutting knife things. cutting fimo sticks isnt really hard, just aim to cut a really thin piece!

and thanks to Jessica from Born Pretty Store for sending me another awesome package~

have a great weekend!,

I'm Behind

- on a LOT of things!

first off, i havent swatched since May 13 which is almost a whole month ago! since then, my "UNUSED" polish stash has been growing. here's a picture stash;


this stash keeps piling up..so i finally decided to swatch some polishes today.

*note: please excuse my excessively dried hands & cuticles. im out of non-acetone polish remover & so im using my pure acetone remover..and its killing me -__-


3 coats of Ulta Orange You Glad It's Summer. application was good & kinda jelly-ish. i got this polish [and the next polish down] from my first Ulta trip 2 months ago! finally got around to trying it out.. =P


3 coats of Ulta Vintage Violet. dark, dusty lavender. easy application; much better than OYGIS.

next, i have some Sally Hansen Inst-Dri's. i've had these for..i dont even know how long! i totally forgot that i had them until i went through my drawer of unused.


3 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Snappy Sorbet. application was ok; my camera was able to capture the very subtle shimmer in this coral-ish polish [and even in the bottle!]. *yay!


3 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Spring Green. a dark mint..easy application. i remember how much i used to hate how wide the Insta-Dri brushes are...but now i've learned to enjoy em ;)


3 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Mango Motion. how would you describe this color?..a bright salmon? haha i dont know..but this was the best application of the 3 Insta-Dris & Snappy Sorbet was the worse when it came to application.


ok! continuing my list of things im behind on...awards! a little less than a month ago, i was tagged by Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes & Amused Polish for the sweet blog award. thanks so much ladies ;)





Make a post about the award including the picture and mention the person who gave it to you. Put the award on your blog. Let your nominated 10 know you've awarded them by leaving a comment.

since im so late on this, i decided not to personally tag anyone. anyone & everyone reading this - im gunna tag. you're awesome awesome! =)


finally, the last thing that im late on is...the Zoya Polish Exchange!

i just recently decided to for sure do the exchange. i've been looking at Zoya swatches like crazy..and i LOVE the Zoyas! i need a few bottles for myself! i've already picked 5 polishes that i for sure want & i have a list of 16 other possibilities. haha. im not sure how many im going to trade in..so we'll see.

ok, so my question is, besides for Zoya, Qtica or Nocti, i can send ANY brand bottle in? even Revlon, Wet n Wild, or Finger Paints? - right?


ALRIGHT! i think this post is long enough..so i'll leave it here!

oh! by the way, my sister is going to reboot the computer any time soon...so hopefully i can post once again before i lose all my fonts & adobe photoshop. haha. i dont want to post without my abobe. haha

hope your Wednesday is going great!,
