This Week in Nail Polish

Hey everyone! Since I was unable to post last week, you're getting a special double edition this time ;)

I've racked up a decent amount of polish in the past two weeks. Let's see what has been added to my stash...

Look at that pretty purple duo-chrome!

I actually ordered one of those Julep mystery boxes. Needless to say, I was really disappointed. I got 4 polishes (2 that I already have, so they aren't pictured) and a sample of hand scrub, which is something I have the full size of and rarely use. I had been seeing blog posts about girls getting these mystery boxes with $120 worth of Julep gift certificates. I was hoping for that but meh...lesson learned.
Optical Illusion comes from a head2toe order.

Green holo goodness!

I bought the Nubars from two different sellers on Ebay. The Color Club magnetic comes from the same head2toe order as the China Glaze from above.

Daisy Does It, Sparkle and Soar and Electro-midnight
Once again, these were from the same head2toe order!

I bought the two Pretty and Polished polishes from her Etsy shop last week. I got Orchid from a swap.

This is the blogger collection from Zoya that is being sold on Birchbox. It's limited edition and they are JELLIES made by ZOYA. I had to get them.

And I'm so glad I did. The swatches of these are amazing! I can't wait to wear them...especially Kate :)

 How about an older manicure?

Kitty kisses!

 This is China Glaze Fashionista with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Black layered over it. In the second picture, Lillith was doing what she does best and that's getting in the mix of things. She wanted a piece of the action...or attention. Whatever, she's licking my finger in the picture and I thought it was cute. That and I like how her eyes match the color of my nails :)

To end this post, here's a picture of Penelope in the dryer. She loves going in there even though she knows she shouldn't!

Well, that's it. Thanks for sticking by me and stopping by!

This Week in Nail Polish

Hi everyone! I hope you've all had a good week and are prepared for the start of a new one. Let's see what I've added to my stash recently...

Left to right: Nessa, Ashley, Sarah, Kylie, and magnet

My Maven box came in the mail early in the week. Apparently, they are jumping on the magnetic bandwagon as well. Kylie (the purple one) is the magnetic polish. Sarah was an additional polish I added on, the box only came with Nessa, Ashley, Kylie and the magnet. It also came with a sample of their pedicure cream. I actually have a few magnetic polishes now but have yet to use one as a full manicure yet. Need to get on that ASAP!

Left to right: Bronze, Wine, A Million Sparkles and Bad Kitty
Once again, the stupid Nabi polishes don't have names so those are the ones I gave them. As you can see, the Bronze is missing the magnet it's supposed to come with. Apparently, I didn't notice this when I was buying them...I need to exchange that one soon.

I got the two Nabis at Walgreen's and found A Million Sparkles at CVS. I ordered Bad Kitty from here. It's limited edition and currently sold out but she'll probably post more at some point.

All in all, I'm happy with what I've added to my collection. Lots of pretty polishes!

Here's an older mani:

This is China Glaze Gamer Glam. I added some pink heart rhinestones as an accent finger. Pretty, huh?

I have some older pictures of the cats now. Starting from the first day I got Lillith as a kitten!

It's a cell phone pic, so the quality isn't the best. But I will treasure this picture forever...

Lillith is 5 years old now. She was only a few weeks old when I got her. I'm so glad to have her in my life. Looking at baby pictures of her makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside <3

Sadly, I don't have any kitten pictures of Penelope because she was almost a year old when I adopted her from the SPCA. I do have a picture of her from when I barely got her, 6 years ago...

Her belly is shaved here cause she had just been fixed. She's a lot smaller here too. This was apparently before she turned into the fat blob that she is now.

I still remember what it was like meeting her at the shelter. I took her into that room where you get a chance to interact with the animal. She was SO sweet. Like, I couldn't believe it. It was instant love. I knew she was the one I had to take home with me. I can't express in words how much both of my babies mean to me. I feel so lucky to have them as companions and cherish every day I get with them.

Anyway, I suppose that's enough rambling for today. Thanks for stopping by!
