Sally Hansen Crackle Polish

So I'm at Walgreens doing a little shopping, and I happen to spot a brand spankin' new display of Sally Hansen crackle polishes! OMG!! There are all different colors: purple, blue, white, silver, gray, gold, black.. I want them all. ALL OF THEM I TELL YOU!! I chose the black one to start off with, here are some pictures:

Products used: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish in #15 Presto Pink and Sally Hansen crackle overcoat in #08 Ink Splatter, with Maybelline Express Finish base & top coat applied over top. Tip: Apply a thin layer of crackle polish to get more crackling effects (in above photos, my pinky and ring fingers have a thicker layer applied and you can really tell the difference!!)

I know I've really been trying to not buy any nail polish this year, but come on! I consider this more of an investment, because it forces me to use the colored polishes I already own as a base coat =) So my old polishes get more use and I get to use my new black crackle polish.. it's a win-win situation!!

In hindsight, the Sally Hansen crackle retails for $6.99 each, and I could have actually bought the black OPI crackle for less where I work (I have only been eyeing it down for months now, haha), but OPI doesn't have many different color options in their "shatter" polishes yet.. and I couldn't resist! Also, I'm in love with the Insta-Dri polishes too, they really do dry instantly!!

Happy June!

I consider myself lucky to have the day off today =) I thought I'd share a few things with you!

There's a high of around 90 degrees today and no chance of rain until this evening, do you know what this means?? I'm gonna put on my swim suit and my Banana Boat spf 15 tanning oil and grab a huge beach towel and hang out in the backyard for a little while working on my summer tan! Yeah! I've been using a gradual tanning lotion and did L'Oreal Sublime Bronze tanning towelettes a few times, but nothing tans quite like laying out in the sun for an hour or so, amazing difference!!




I recently discovered a few new favorite songs on grooveshark, here's a little playlist so you can have a listen too! Songs include: Nicki Minaj - "Super Bass" (so fun!) and Mike Posner - "Bow Chicka Wow Wow" which has definitely been a new favorite song of mine!

Make sure you take a listen =)

Also, I FINALLY got caught up on my BlogLovin' =) Took me forever after having the weekend off!! Also, BlogLovin' is totally taking up a lot of my internet time and distracting from other important things.. like finishing up that new self-hosted wordpress blog so I can finally launch it! Ahhh! Hoping to have that site going very soon!

Target Wishlist.

Thought I would make myself a clothing wishlist with Target items, what do you think of the idea?? Usually if I make a list of stuff I would like to buy.. I end up buying most of it! Sooo I don't know that this is my greatest thing to post at the moment =)

I work at a clothing store and get most of my purchases there for super cheap, so I don't really go to Target (or any clothing store for that matter) to shop for clothes. I get spoiled with my discounts at work so now I think that anything on a normal sale price without extra discounts is just too expensive. It's funny how that works.

mossimo cardigan sweater $25

juniors lace inset cardigan $23

juniors open front sweater $23

juniors printed lace inset tank $12

mossimo womens v-neck $13

mossimo black womens satin top $20

 merona womens vionnet top $23

easy care, easy wear top $15

easy care, easy wear v-neck $15

I suppose it is rather obvious that I am looking for new tops I can wear to work, I might just fall in love with that Easy Care, Easy Wear line... although the line only has 9 items listed on target.com >_< I wonder why that is? Why so few???

hey, 100 posts!

I just realized that my last post was #100! Hah, that's actually a pretty low number for the amount of time I've had this blog. Errm... 7-8 months? I don't know, some months I'm pretty faithful about posting and other months the thought doesn't even cross my mind. By the way, this is what getting old will do to you. :) I'm only 26! hah

How about a list of some of my current favorite songs?

• Taio Cruz - "DYNAMITE"
• Jamie Foxx ft. Justin Timberlake - "WINNER"
• Mike Posner - "COOLER THAN ME"
• Drake - "FIND YOUR LOVE"
• Justin Bieber - "BABY" so catchy... such bieber fever! lol

And... what about a list of some of my favorite cds???????? p.s. to be on this list, i have to be able to listen to the cd.. nonstop.. from beginning to end.. no skipping!

• Rob Thomas - CRADLESONG, man is a genius.
• *NSYNC (anything, i love them.. still... sue me.) LOL
• Christina Aguilera - BIONIC - it's all i've been listening to in the car for weeks
• Lady Gaga - FAME
• Justin Timberlake - anything, see above lol

Yes, that is a very limited list of favorite cds. I don't own all that many, and 90% of the ones I do actually own, don't make the cut. Other artists that would make the cut, but I have to be in a certain mood to listen to them include: nickelback, dashboard confessional, trapt... uhm and probably others that I can't think of at the moment. I guess I have my happy music, and my angry/frustrated music and I like to keep them separate. heh

Uhmmm... Amazing?!?!

So I was stumbling through a few blogs and one of them had some photographs done by MarieClaire Roman.. and she's AMAZING. You should go visit her blog right now. >>> LINK

Have you visited her blog yet? This girl is super talented and she's gonna be famous some day :)

New Camera: Polaroid t1031

Well, this post has been quite a long time coming (over a week! yikes!) but here's my new camera!! I bought it from Amazon.com for the great price of $64.99 (on sale, was originally $120). I'm really loving it, it's 10MP and has a 3 inch LCD screen *that's bigger than my old digital camera's LCD screen!* it didn't take me long at all to realize that I can't live without a digital camera! LOL. If you want some more info on this camera CLiCK HeRe to go to the Amazon listing :)

What's New?

I thought I'd do a little catch-up post since I haven't bothered to post over here in... well, forever.

Earlier this week I hosted a BeautiControl Spa Party, one of the ladies from work just became a consultant for the company and I wanted a good excuse to have a little Girl's Night Out type of thing, it was actually a lot of fun and I ended up getting a free neckwrap, a free pedicure tool set and 50% off my order.. so I was pretty excited about all of that!! Here's a screen shot of the BeautiControl website.

Other than that, nothing much new and exciting has been going on in my life. LOL. I've been working, and on days that I don't work then I sleep a lot. And I mean A LOT, for instance.. I am off today and slept about 12 hours last night. Oh yeah. I have plans to go to Six Flags on Wednesday with a friend from work, I'm most excited about playing in the water park!!! I'm not much for theme park rides. I can't wait to get our pool set up for this summer, oh my goodness! but we need to get more sand first!!!

I bought a few new things the last couple of days that I'm pretty excited about so I thought I'd share...

Jergens natural glow FIRMING lotion, says it's proven to reduce cellulite..

equate spf 70 sport sunscreen, the top actually locks

and it sprays awesome, very misty!

and a new swimsuit! it's from JCPenneys if anyone was wondering ;)

was super difficult to find one because everything was so picked through!!!

New Discoveries :)

I've quite recently discovered 2 cool online things:

1) http://theblogfrog.com - online community for bloggers, you don't even need to have a blog to sign up, plus they have cool widgets that show your recent visitors (like the one i added to my sidebar, it only shows visits from people who are signed up on the site though!), warning it's quite addictive! and you will find LOTS of awesome blogs!

2) An awesome list of blog memes! http://www.ourmommyhood.com/social-calendar/memes/ I'm definitely going to try a few of those out!

Hope you all are having a great day!
