Mailed out

 

I have been looking for someone who shares my obsession with nail polish to become a sort of nail polish pen-pal with for a few months. Someone to exchange polishes with that I either already have or weren’t what I thought they would look like on me.  So when I found someone I was so excited and when she turned out to be close by that was even better.  And the funny thing is as we talk more she seems like an awesome person. Not just because of the nail polish obsession. It is odd how people come into your life for one reason but seem to just fit in other ways. I really enjoyed packing her box and thinking about little things to send besides just the nail polish. I am one of those people anyway who likes to find the perfect meaningful gift for people. And while I don’t know her that well yet I look forward to getting to know her better. The box got mailed a lot later than I expected because of things going on in my life but I finally got it mailed out. I hope this turns out to be as much fun as I think it will.

Manicure Magic

 

So someone gave me a very unexpected gift and I loved it! I am a bit of a nail polish addict. Okay I am totally obsessed and I change my manicures like twice a week. But I do try to be frugal when it comes to spending out of control on my polishes. So this gift I got was really meaningful to me. I got a bottle of Essie “as gold as it gets” which is a luxe effects topcoat with real gold flakes in it!!! Now as a general rule I am not a fan of yellow gold. In fact it really reminds me a metal pee pee but I digress. But because it is such a high end polish I really wanted to try it. And it was breath taking!! I only used it on two nails but wow! I used Julep “Viola” which is a very dark purple as a base coat. The gold seemed to have holographic flecks in it and it went on in a perfect thin coat, exactly like a topcoat should. I could not take any pictures that would do the gold color justice.  And that makes me so mad!! So if you can find a bottle of it, snatch it up because it will change your world.

Chunk of nail gone. EPIC FAIL!
