Illamasqua - Raindrops

I think it's about time I got into my blog again. I'm sorry that I disappeared for a while. After all of those Hunger Games posts I was so drained. Those took a lot more work than I thought they would, but I don't regret any of it. And I hope everyone enjoyed them. After that I got into a weird depressed funk. I wasn't sleeping, almost everything made me want to cry, I stopped talking to people as much as possible. It was weird, and nothing made me feel better. I don't know what it was but something turned around and things got better. Every once in a while I get back into those funks. I'm falling into one now, I can feel it, but I'm fighting it as much as I can. Except this time the reason is unemployment and my lack of money. I've been applying to several teaching jobs as well as several retail jobs with no luck. I am currently offering private woodwind lessons, but that's a hard thing to have take off and get a lot of students. But I'm still trying (and probably annoying plenty of you with my flyer posts on facebook, haha)! Anyways, on to the polish.

I figured my return to my blog should be grand, and what better way than to show you my number one nail polish lemming that was on my wishlist for a very long time? I finally got this after talking with a lovely lady on MUA for several weeks about lining up a swap. And we finally did! So here she is, Illamasqua Raindrops:




Raindrops is a very greyed out blue. In fact it was much more grey than I expected, but I still love it. It has tiny silver flakies in it (and you all know flakies are my absolute favorite). This was 2 coats. The formula was great, but it dried really fast, so if I needed to go over any spots it started to drag. Next time I'll just paint more carefully. I absolutely adore this polish, and it feels so good to cross it off of my wishlist. 

I plan to start posting twice a week to start off, sometimes more. So stay tuned!
