Boyfriend Josh's Birthday & Dying our hair!

I'm finally a brunette again! :) haha, Nia and I decided to go on a hair dying adventure :) I was annoyed with my brown roots growing out, and did not want to rebleach my hair (it awas do damaged from the first dying) :( SO! We picked up box dye from walmart and Ulta and started our adventure!
I used the Perfect 10 color on my hair and Nia used the Feria color, haha we had a blast! The Feria color went on really smoothly and didn't smell bad at all!! It was only a 25 minute setting time as well :) Nia did my hair, and the Perfect 10 dye came with this even distributing comb for the dye bottle, and it was a totally easy process :) Neither of us had used boxed dye before!
This is us before the hair experiment began lol, sorry the picture didn't flip for some odd reason :(
And here's us waiting for the dye to set haha, the Perfect 10 color took only 10 minutes :)
We are both super thrilled with how well the color came out on our hair!! Tonight is Josh's birthday and I have a ton of surprises planned for him :) More updates tomorrow!

Pink Wednesday Almond Kiss Cookies

A few days ago I posted about hanging out with my good friend Nia, and how we baked cookies to help me make a good impression on my mans family. Let me tell you, making a good impression to Josh's family was very very important to me. I really wanted to gain their approval, and happiness for Josh over our budding relationship :) To accomplish this...Nia and I baked one hell of a batch of cookies!!
We looked through a new cookie book that I picked up at Michaels that has all the top Taste of Home cookie recipes in it. We decided on the Almond Kiss Cookies, because they looked elegant but would also appeal to a variety of taste buds :) There's Nia above, getting ready to bake up a storm!
I think our finished cookies look exactly like the image in the book! haha :) His family really enjoyed the cookies, at least they said they liked them, at least if they didn't they were kind enough to save my feelings :)
Here's us mid-cookie progress, taking a break from watching Walk The Line (we LOVE Joaquin Phoenix!) The dough had to chill for an hour, and in this time we thought we would clean out some old polish bottles to make some Franken polishes for our next hang out date! It was a funny disaster, polish ended up spilling ALL over my kitchen, and my pretty mani that I created for Josh's family, I was so upset that my mani was destroyed that I didn't notice the bright red nail polish staining the sink hahaha, Nia was swift to action and nail polish removered all the spills :)
We had to unwrap each Hershey Kiss individually, and ate all the ones that weren't perfect, only the best for my mans family!! haha, We definitely had an awesome time baking, and best yet Nia also loves nail polish!!! We are going to start doing a weekly partner blog post about our polishes :P Stay on the look out for it!

Pink Wednesday & the L Word

It's Wednesday! That means pink polish :) and a chance to try out my new pretties!!! I used 4coats of Color Club Vintage Couture, it is a very sheer pigment, and it took about 4 coats to get all the brush strokes out.. I topped it with two coats of the new Wen n-Wild Hannah Pinktana, which is a really soft small holo. and I LOVE IT! I tried to capture the sparkle in the polish in the picture above (sorry for the yellowish tone to the photographs tonight, my camera was having a hard time with my white focus :( )
Here's the pink dynamic duo! I love the way Hannah Pinktana went on, it was extremely creamy, and it put a nice even coat of the holo on each nail :) I'm pleasantly pleased with this polish!! I can't wait to go back to Walgreens and pick up the rest of this new collection :)
Here's just a comparison picture of the plain Color Club polished nails vs. the wet n' wild holo coated nails. I tried to get a good image to show just how awesome the Hannah Pinktana polish is! I stamped my nails using Kleancolor Metallic Black and my BM cheetah print plate!

I know you guys probably think I am insane for posting this blog at 2 in the morning, knowing that I have to be up at 6:30, for a full day of internship/emt work until 10pm. But, awesome things have been happening in my life. I've spent some amazing quality time with my friend Nia...which I PROMISE to blog about tomorrow, or Thursday as soon as I have the time! But also, I've been spending great time with Josh. As you guys read I met his family on Monday and it was spectacular. I really enjoyed their company and his mom cooked an amazing meal! Since his birthday is on Friday we also did a small celebration with birthday cake :) This boy definitely has me swooning. <3

the Revvvolution is mine!

*Squee!* I have exciting news for you all....today, I got my hands on Color Club Revvvolution!!! I could hardly believe it when i found it on the shelf in the store! Its simply beautiful!! It goes on so thick and smoothly, that I don't ever want to use another nail polish in my life. Ok that's an over exaggeration haha, But I AM in love with this color! And since I can't leave my manis alone, I had to stamp it to make it super fancy :) I am meeting my boys parents tomorrow for the first time, so I had to have nails that made a good impression, I think I nailed it with this mani for sure!
Look at all the amazing rainbows in this polish!! It is a fantastic small holo, the best I've ever gotten my hands on. :) *drools*
So, I decided to do a quick comparison between Color Club Revvvolution and the Black Poppy polish I found at the mall..Honestly, when the two bottles were held side by side, I was leaning more toward Black Poppy, the holo glitter seemed to glow more!
However...when compared, Revvvolution (on the left) BLOWS Black Poppy (right) out of the water!! Look at how much thicker and holographic the polish truly is, sorry for the blurry picture I was trying to get more of the rainbow in than quality of the photograph :P
For my finished mani I used Color Club Revvvolution and stamped it with Nicole from the Justin Bieber collection, since it's a mini bottle it doesn't have a name printed on it, but it's perfect for stamping! I used BM-205 for the stamping :) Hope you guys like it!! And I hope his parents do too!! I have a ton I would love to blog about, from my exciting night with my friend Nia, but that will have to wait for tomorrow when I'll blog about our cookie baking experience, our Martha Stewartness, and the beginning of our Frankens!

Babysitting & Purple Holo Nails

After my mall haul of polish with my bestie today, I was looking forward to getting to play with my new polishes, but there was a problem, I had to babysit at 5 tonight :( THEN it was like the polish heavens opened up and the family I nanny for, asked me to come at 5:30 instead! YES! that gave me just enough time to switch up my mani and try some new stuff on!
I used my *new* Kleancolor Holo Chrome for this look, I layered 2 coats of it over my mini Nicole by OPI Justin Beiber collection polish, and finished with a top coat of SV.
The name of it escapes me right now, I'm still at my nanny job. But, isn't that little bottle just adorable?
I love the way this polish sparkles, this is my very first time using Kleancolor nail polish and I am extremely impressed with it! It was a nice formula, and went on nice and heavy, I probably did not even need to use base coats of the Nicole by OPI polish, the Kleancolor polish would have easily coated my nails in a nice color. I'll try it alone next time :)
And just for some fun, this is me and the little girl I nanny, we were pretending to be Angry Birds while waiting for the game to reload on my phone...which took around 10 minutes, and to a 7 year old that seems like 2 hours. :)

Polish Haul!!!

Jess and I hadn't had a girls date in awhile, we've both been busy the past week, and it's been a complete bummer! :( BUT! Today, after seeing Josh, I was in dire need of girl time. Jess and I were talking on facebook chat and I was like "I need to go nail polish shopping!" So off we went! We went to a local mall that neither of us had been to in awhile, and we had a blast-as usual-together! haha! Jess FINALLY got American Psycho (lol) and I picked up a copy of Signs (I love Joaquin Phoenix)..SO lets get to the polish!!
Polishes: (top row) Borghese mini polishes Confetti Collection; Hot Topic Glow In the Dark small Holo polish; Klean Color polishes in: Metallic Black, Holo Chrome, and Metallic Fuschia.

(Second row) E.L.F. Polishes in Twinkle, Golden Goddess, and Cranberry; the entire collection of my haul; part of the Color Club pack I found conataining: Space Case, Ultra-Astral, Wink Wink Tinkle, You Got Soul-ar, Glitter Envy, Otherworldly, Starry Tempress Topcoat.

(third row) Hot Topic glow in the dark holo glitter, the color club collection; and my favorite find of the day from Pac Sun Black Poppy (no polish name) with it an awesome black polish with small holo glitter in it!

Also not pictured in the collage above (oops!) is my last polish find, a mini pack of Color Club All About Color polishes:

Jess makes me laugh so hard, whenever I'm buying nail polish with her, she always tells the sales people "she has a blog" hahaha it's so funny. She works at Starbucks and isn't allowed to paint her nails, so when I was browsing polishes she pouts and goes "this makes me want to paint my...toe nails!" :) She's the best!

The collection

I decided that it was time for me to take a good look at my collection of polishes! I sorted them all by color, which was extremely fun to do haha! I'm going to post a few of my color collections throughout my next few blog posts :)
This is what my collection looked like when I first poured it out...a mess! I counted and I believe that I have a total of 108 polishes in that pile! :) It's slowly growing!
here are my favorites, the pinks! I have 18 pinks, and I loveeee them all!
