April's Empties!

I've decided to give a recap of products I've used up during the previous month to give you guys an idea of how much crap bath and beauty products I have and use! And hopefully it will motivate me to use more products up since I'm moving soon and I don't want to just throw it away, but I don't want to move it either!

So here is what I was able to use up during April ...

Essie Pink-A-Boo

I saw this polish the other day at the store and grabbed it. It looked so gorgeous, like a pink version of Sinful Color's Cinderella. It's a beautiful light baby pink with magenta and blue shimmer. Perfect for spring, right? Right? No?

I was disappointed with this baby, that's for sure. It was no Cinderella. This was an evil step-sister. All that beautiful shimmer is mostly lost in person, and definitely in the pictures. It's super runny and sheer, below is five coats, yes FIVE and there was still an obvious visible nail line. Blah. I would have kept going but my painting hand was cramping at that point.

Thank you

I wanted to say thank you for all the thoughts and warm wishes I've received since my last post. I'm sorry I was such a downer, but he really was a member of the family. I keep pictures of my pups on my phone and show them to people as if they were my kids. You guys are the greatest, and I was overwhelmed (and a little teary) when I saw the messages. :-*

On a side note, 5/2 was my birthday... My last few birthdays have kinda sucked. My best friend of 10+ years broke my heart the day before my birthday last year and we haven't really talked since, and I miss having my friend, but it's just not the same. So I try to maintain a low profile when it's this time of the year. This year seemed to bite me in the ass anyway. But thanks for the birthday wishes on FB! =)

On a happier note, here are the flowers and romantic card my hubby gave me.

Boys. =P

RIP Hunter

Last night my dog Hunter lost his battle to cancer. My parents were with him when he took his last breath, and while I'm thankful he's no longer hurting, I miss him so much already.

I truly do hope all dogs go to heaven.

RIP boy. I miss you so much. I love you.

Holo & Orchids

I have a fun layering combination to share with you today!

When I was trying out the LASplash nail polish, I also may have happened upon a large and expensive nail polish lot on eBay that I quickly purchased but am too ashamed to admit how much I spent. Needless to say, I now own all of the China Glaze OMG Collection and half of the Kaleidoscope collection. Sigh. Who needs money anyway when you have holos? Can I get an amen?

So here we have a beautiful layering combination that was meant for each other ... LASplash Retro and China Glaze He's Going In Circles. LASplash Retro is the perfect background because it's the same color so it doesn't alter CG HGIC at all, just makes it more opaque with less wastage. Yes, I just made wastage a word.
