Go Pink Wednesday #2!



Hello, my lovelies!

Welcome to Go Pink Wednesday #2!  Go Pink Wednesday is when a bunch of bloggers and nail polish fiends wear pink manis to support breast cancer awareness, because October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. You don’t have to be a blogger to join in! You can find more details over at Finger Painting Fingers, who organized this amazing event.

Today I’m showing off a new beauty by Different Dimension called “Honesty Feels A  Lot Like Mean”.  I’ll be reviewing some of her amazing polishes later this week but today, we focus on this one.

Indie Review: Tipsy Turvy Nails!



Hello, my lovelies!

It’s another beautiful fall day in DC! Today I have for you a review of Tipsy Turvy Nail polish.
 
Tipsy Turvy Nails just opened in September of this year, and I happened to wander across them. They had some lovely colors up so I thought I’d give them a try. I love finding new indie polish makers and trying them out!

I ordered two polishes, Aurora Borealis and Coppernicus. As of this review, Tipsy Turvy has a notice in their store of a special for bloggers wishing to review their products. Visit their Etsy store for more details. Both polishes arrived within a week, no super long turnaround. Now, let’s get to these lovely polishes!

Time To Go Pink

Welcome to Go Pink Wednesday! Notice something different? Like, say, all the gorgeous pink? That's because it's time to Go Pink! 

During October I'm joining a slew of other bloggers for Go Pink Wednesday, where we sport pink manis in honor Breast Cancer Awareness, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Finger Painting Fingers is coordinating this awesome event, and you can find out more about it on her page, as well as see the amazing list of the bloggers participating!

Many, if not all of us have been touched by breast cancer in some manner during our lives. 

For me, it's been through several people. My godmother lost her battle with it when I was 15. My friend's sister lost her battle a few years ago. My mother-in-law won. Another friend won her battle this year. A friend's mother won a few years ago. Several friends walk in the various 3-Days throughout the year to raise money. We really can't do enough to to stress the importance of early detection and treatment. 

So examine your breasts! Regularly! Get the mammograms!

Essie Swatch Spam!



Hello, my lovelies!

Today we are enjoying some gorgeous early fall weather in DC, so I decided to share some Essie swatches with you! Many of these are from earlier this year so these are not fall colors. I am no fashionista and I do not subscribe to “appropriate to wear” colors dictated to by season, so expect to see plenty of warm summery colors during winter and sometimes dark, vampy colors in the spring! 

Warning - Massively pic heavy!
