I'm Back!

It has been quite a while since my last post. But I am back home in San Diego! My room is all set up and 95% of all of my things are put away, going to good will or going in the trash! I've been so exhausted lately, I think everything from the past couple of weeks has all of a sudden caught up with me and I've just been exhausted ever since. So here's just a quick post of nail polish!

Richard bought me the Nice Stems Collection from OPI, because he's just amazing like that! (: There are 4 colors in the collection, all varying shades of pink. Really only two called out to me, but I'll find uses for the other two (which is a pale pink and a coral pink). But, for today, I have Be A Dahlia, Won't You and I Lily Love You (which is an amazing top coat, by the way).

Here's BADWY on its own. Its a bright pink with loads of shimmer in it. Its beautiful on its own...but I just had to play around with I Lily Love You, so...

ILLY has a bunch of different shaped glitter and flakies suspended in a pink jelly base. It is very sheer on its own, and of course meant for layering (which is always fun!). As you can see from different angles there are multiple shapes. There was a huge flake on my pinky, as you can see in the last photo! In these I had some fun and used Hard Candy's Matte Top Coat (Matte-ly In Love, I think?), on my ring finger and Seche Vite on the rest. This manicure lasted for 2 weeks before I finally had time to take it off...and that's two weeks of intense cleaning, playing with 2 kids, traveling, packing, moving, etc. All there was was tip wear and the obvious growth. Pretty good, thanks OPI!

I hope to have my engagement ring posted up soon! (:
