Nail Polish Spotlight (Combo): Sinful Colors Endless Blue & Essie Shine of the Times

Hello hello everyone!  Today I have probably the most AMAZING combo on the planet, or at least I think it is!  I was swatching some new polishes that I had bought a while ago and I decided to try Essie's Shine Of the Times (SOTT) on top of Sinful Colors Endless Blue; I was stunned at how great they look together!  I couldn't stop moving and staring at my nails because all of the colors were just so captivating!  I'll just let y'all look at the pictures. 

Fact:  I actually took over 300 pictures of this mani (I'm NOT joking), but I'm sure you guys wouldn't of wanted to scroll through THAT many pictures (LOL) so I cut that amount down drastically! ; )

From L to R:  Sinful Colors Endless Blue and Essie Shine Of the Times

I applied one coat of Essie SOTT over two coats of Sinful Colors Endless Blue.  I must say that Endless Blue is probably my favorite blue polish in my collection.  The application was great (almost a one-coater) and it didn't stain my nails after wearing this mani for over a week.  Oh and did I mention that I had NO chipping what's so ever when I took this off!  This is definitely one blue polish that everyone should get!

Change

No one likes change, especially if what you've been using is working just fine for you.  If you haven't heard already, Google Reader is going "bye bye" in July.  Personally I'm not too pleased because that's what I use to read all of the blogs that I'm following.  I've seen a lot of bloggers talk about Bloglovin and have moved all their blogging info there, so I've hopped on the bandwagon and have done the same.  You can still follow me via GFC, but that will be long gone soon.  Now you can follow my blog via Bloglovin and/or Networked Blogs.

Sinful Colors Sugar Rush Collection!

Hey y'all!  Today I wanted to show you all the polishes that I got from Sinful Color's new spring collection.  The name of the collection is called Sugar Rush and it is filled with pastels and bright polishes that are perfect for the spring time!  I bought mine a couple of weeks ago when Walgreens had them on sale for $0.99!  You can watch my haul HERE.

Before I get to the swatches I want to thank Lizzy from The D.I.Y. Lady for offering to pick them up for me.  I must say that the ladies in the nail community have been some of the nicest people that I have "met" over the past year! For Lizzy to offer to do something like that, not even knowing who I was, really touched me! Thanks again Lizzy for being such a sweet person! ❤

Now onto the polish goodness!

 

Here are my picks from the collection! From L to R:  Orange Cream, Unicorn, Sugar N Spice, Cotton Candy, Sweet Tooth, Candy Coated, and Sweet Nothing.

I did a little experiment!

Hey guys!  Sorry for the lack of post.  These past few days were "interesting."  Last week I got some shocking news about a friend (nothing too bad) that's kind of complicated to explain so I'll just leave it at that.  Yesterday I was searching internet for new job openings in my area and my mom called me and told me that her friend knew some guy that was looking to hire someone and left an application for me!!!  Not only did he leave an application, he also set up an interview for me that same afternoon!  My mom's friend dropped off the application and I had about 4 hours to fill it out and get dressed for my interview!  I haven't heard anything yet but I sure do hope I get this job! So yea, that's how the past week or so has been for me.

Enough with my excuses explanation, let's get to the "experiment" that I did!

When I first started following blogs I saw a post from Lizzy (The D.I.Y. Lady) about her first frakens.  I wasn't really sure what a fraken was, but when I saw her post I immediately wanted to make my own!  For those of you that might not know, a fraken is a polish that is made with polishes that you have in your collection (I think). Lol  I've been mixing my first fraken for a while now and I'm finally satisfied with it and wanted to show it to y'all! : )

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.
