Happy Birthday and Hello Kitty!

Well technically... my birthday was yesterday but I wanted to show you my polished nails from the last week. I'm pretty sure I will use Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday every year because it's one of my absolute favorites. This year I put it over OPI Ski Teal We Drop because I'm loving my blues this month! 

Very glittery and pure awesomeness. I have two bottles of Happy Birthday... one bought from beauty.com and the other I bought on ebay probably for $11 or so (great deal)! 

More pictures of greatness: 


And for some non polish pictures:



I bought the Periodic Table of Elements wall decal from Scribble on Everything! The first picture shows the entire table and I thought the second was a great close up. 

And I got the most amazing balloons for my birthday thanks to my cousin, Cat! 


I suppose I should show my other gifts too :)

Dior Saint Tropez!

I recently got this in the mail and just had to put it on. Dior Saint Tropez is a great color with the addition of Dior's awesome brush! I found the polish a bit thick, forcing me to repaint three nails.

I think this was day three with the polish. I used Zoya for my base coat and I absolutely love Dior's top coat. It's fast and dries super quick! 

Birthday in 13 days! Super excited for my birthday mani

Things Have Gotten a Little Crazy!

It's been four months since I actually posted the first post. In those months, I have gotten a job, bought more polish, reconsidered my major, went a little OCD and now I'm back!

I tend to paint my nails every other week-- let them breathe after painting. Since there's nothing new this week I'll post an old picture. This is China Glaze 2NITE. I bought this a while ago back when evilbay didn't have sellers trying to get people to pay $20. It's gorgeous and held pretty well with no top and base coat!

The holographics don't really come out in full blast unless you're standing under the sun. But it's a stunner! 

Rating: 4/5 -- I'm biased because it's a holo BUT chips easier than the Kaleidoscopes.
