It's our Anniversary! + Giveaway!

Hey guys!

Today I have a little surprise for you all!  A little over a year ago I was at a rough point in my life and didn't know what I was going to do with myself.  So  I decided to upload a video that I had recorded a few days earlier to my YouTube account that I had made over a year ago.  I found that I really enjoyed filming and editing videos so I decided to keep making videos.  A little while after that I decided to start a blog to share even more info about things that I'm obsessed with.  Over the past year I have "met" a lot of cool people that are interested in the same things as me and it has helped me keep my mind on the positive side of things.  You guys will never truly know how much you have helped through this past year, but I just want to do a little something for y'all to show my appreciation.

In celebration of CDesigns92's first birthday I wanted to have a giveaway!

Nail Polish Spotlight: Revlon Whimsical

Hey guys!  I was looking through my pictures and found a bunch of photos of polishes that haven't made it onto the blog yet!  I hope to get all caught up soon, hopefully in the next few weeks!  : )

First, I want to let everyone know that the winner of my "Birthday Giveaway" was announced and she did contact me!  Congrats again Ashley A.!!!  I will send your prize out tomorrow or Monday! : )

Okay now onto this post!  Today the nail polish spotlight in going to shine over Revlon's Whimsical!

 I applied 4 coats of Whimsical over 1 coat of Sally Hansen's "White Out".

Revlon Whimsical is a sheer blue-grey polish with various sized blue, pink, and iridescent glitter.  When I first saw this polish in stores I wasn't really a big fan.  I could instantly tell that it was sheer and it wasn't worth $4 to me.  Later, once I got into nail polish community on Facebook, I find out that this polish was an exact dupe of Deborah Lippmann's "Glitter in the Air" and that it looked amazing over blue/teal polish.

I bought Whimsical while Revlon was on sale at my local grocery store and was still on the fence about it, but hey I only paid $2 for it so I wasn't complaining!  I tried wearing it by itself, which was an EPIC fail.  Then I decided to apply it over a white polish, which is what you see above.  The glitter did spread nicely, but I had an issue with the color being a little uneven.  Now I'm going to be honest, I don't like this polish!  I wore this mani for 3-4 days and it never grew on me.  I don't know if it's that fact that I had to apply a bazillion coats or if I just didn't like it over white.  Next time I think I'm going to wear it over a blue, pink, or purple polish and see if I like it better.

Here's a close up shot!  (Excuse my poor clean-up job.)
