PRETTILY INSPIRED POLISH: All Nighter, Disco Lights and Snowfall

Pin It Hellllllooooooooooooooo! I hope everyone had a great week! I've been busy stuffing my brain about anatomy, pathophysiology and disease processes. It's a lot different than the business classes I took to get my bachelors degree lmao I've been swatching on breaks to stay sane!

L->R: Prettily Inspired Polish Snowfall, All Nighter, Disco Lights

Today I have some pretty Canadian polishes from a new indie called Prettily Inspired Polish!

Swatch and review after the jumppppp!

ZOYA: Spring 2013 Lovely Collection

Pin It Phew! Finally! My Zoya Lovely swatches :] Hopefully I made the wait worth it?


I know not everyone is SUPER stoked about it, but I am way excited for all the pastel polishes this year :] ALSO I'm way stoked that they brought back some of the polishes from the Zang Toi and Peter Som NYFW 2013 Spring-Summer Collections! Zoya's Lovely Collection is a set of 3 shimmers and 3 cremes, a little bit for everyone.

I have swatches, comparisons, some stamping, and review after the jump :]

Breaking News! (??? Lmao)

Pin It I guess this is an "official announcement":

Recently blogging and polish has become more of a chore to me. And I hate chores, dishes and laundry pile up for days! Vacuum? People do that?! haha xP

I've had a heart to heart with a few bloggers, who reassured me it happens to others too, and I've decided to cut back on posting for the time being. Just to regroup myself! I love my polish, nail art, and my blog - so much! I really don't want to lose the happiness it brings me. Or the joy I can share with y'all! So, in efforts to restore that feeling, I'm going to be cutting back on posting.

I already cut back from 7 days to 5. I think every other day might be the new regular. We'll see, I'm not making any plans... But I DO plan to post regularly! Duh ;)

If you're worried about review polishes, don't be lol. I'll get them done ASAP, before I post any thing else! I'm a pretty reliable person, polish and life wise, and I intend to stay that way!

I just realized finally I need time for ME... and that the reason why I'm doing this is because it makes ME happy, and it makes ME happy to share it with y'all! I think I got lost in the heat of the moment with likes and followers. After my surgery, I was more worried about my blog/Facebook/IG/you guys than I was about my health. As much as I LALALALOVE you guys... If I'm going to be great at what I do, and I will be (I don't give myself an option haha), I need to enjoy it! ;)

I'll have my Zoya Lovely collection swatches up later today! :D

Short Hiatus

Pin It

I'm taking a short break after my surgery on Monday. I'm alright - no worries! I thought I'd be 100% by now, but I'm not. I just don't have energy to swatch, photograph and write up posts yet.

I have a lot of swatches I need to get done for reviews, they will get done ASAP, I promise!

I'll be on Facebook and Instagram, as per usual, if you want to chat or keep up with other sales, deals and pictures I share on there!

Sorry for the unexpected break! If you need me, you know where to find me! I'm thinking I'll be back to swatching and posting on Monday - for the giveaway post.

POLISH ADDICT: Candy Crush, Winter Wonderland and Organic Cuticle Oil in Sweet Tart

Pin It Happy Hump Day ya'll! Sorry I didn't post yesterday :[ If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know I had septoplasty done on New Years Eve. All this pain and pain killers has made me super tired! So I wasn't purposely ignoring posting, I've just been super out of it. I'm getting behind on my reading for my MTE course too >.< *sigh* But I'm fine so no worries! Just kinda a messy recovery! Best part is after 23 years, I can finally breathe out of 2 nostrils haha it's the strangest thing EVER!

Anyways! Here is my first actual post of 2013!

Polish Addict (L->R): Candy Crush, Winter Wonderland and Organic Cuticle Oil

Today I have 2 polishes and some cuticle oil by Polish Addict to review for you! I think I've said 1003249707023857203x I'm over white based glitter polishes, but I think this one might be my exception. I think it's because it's the only white based glitter polish that isn't multicolored glitter I have owned/reviewed.

Swatches and review after the jump!
