Aaaaaaand the WINNER is......

SARAH!!!

Congratulations Sarah!! I just sent you an email to request your polish selection and address. Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway. I promise to have more giveaways coming up soon!

China Glaze Carnival Lights

I got the majority of China Glaze's Glitters, Shimmers, and Cremes collection MONTHS ago when it first came out. So... why am I so slow with posting them? Well, pretty much pure laziness!! lol

China Glaze Carnival Lights




(outdoors, direct sunlight)




This polish was a little too sheer and goopy for my liking. It's a cotton-candy light pink with rainbow-colored microglitter as well as larger pieces of hexagonal glitter. I am wearing three coats here, and as you can see, it is still not completely opaque. I definitely think the color and glitter are super pretty, but the effort expended wasn't completely worth it. As I mentioned, the formula is think and incredibly hard to work with. As I was eyeing the rest of the glitters in this collection, I noticed that the majority of them are thick and goopy. That may be another factor deterring me from trying them all out right away. Oh, boo :-(

But, onto more positive things -- have y'all noticed my post from last night about my first giveaway?? I am now officially accepting entries, and you only have SIX more days to enter!! Please see my previous post for directions as well as pictures of the prizes :-) I didn't mention this yesterday, but obviously, the winner would get their choice of five polishes from the selection posted. I'm really excited and I can't wait to select a winner and ship out the gifts! I have a BE Foiled Eye kit of my own, and I'm wearing it today, and I must say, I love it! :-D

YAY!!! Mission Accomplished!

I am at 100 followers!! Thanks y'all :-) So, as promised, I will be having my first giveaway. I have a busy weekend ahead of me, so I will not get around to posting info/prizes/deets until early next week.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, and I will be posting giveaway details shortly. In the meantime, feel free to still follow me, because only followers will be eligible to win the giveaway :-) THANKS AGAIN!! xoxo

Help me hit 100 followers so that I can do my first giveaway!!

Yep, you read that right! I am almost halfway to 100 followers, and to help expedite the process just a little bit, I will be doing a contest/giveaway when I hit 100 (partly to celebrate 100 followers -- partly to get rid of some of the insane amount of polishes I have). I promise the giveaway will include lots of great polishes (and definitely several Designer Series goodies!!) and other goodies as well :-)

After I hit 100, I'll post giveaway details as well as what the winner(s) will receive!

So, get to it and follow me :-D
