HOLIDAY MANI: Zoya "Posh" + Stamping =

Check out this holiday mani I put together with a beautiful matte polish and some very simple stamping: 


Zoya "Posh": an amazing red matte finish polish. AMAZING!!!! 
Basecoat, Two coats of polish, no topcoat





Next I added some simple stamping using my Bundlemonster stamping plates and the new stamping plates my friend Jin sent me. 




Here's where the magic happens: I added topcoat. I love matte finish polish because it literally transforms into a new polish when you add topcoat. 





So what do you think of this holiday mani?

Essie "All Tied Up" + Stamping =

I just chopped off all my nails recently. Those are the times, I break out my more neutral colored polishes. 












What do you think of this mani? I like wearing more "subdued" colors when my nails are short. I love this Essie polish. It is a perfect color for my olive complection and I love the subtle gold shimmer.

My October 2012 Birchbox

I got my October Birchbox today in the mail. I'm not sure why, but the company sent me an email before the box came, that basically said what was in the box. I don't like that. I like to be surprised. So it took a little of the fun out of it. Anyway, here's what I got this month: 













What do you think of this months box? Worth $10? 

I don't mind the price. It's not much to pay for the service and I do really enjoy getting these boxes. However, this definitely wasn't one of the better boxes they have sent. I love the full size Essie polish OF COURSE. I wasn't real thrilled with any of the other items and I"ll be passing them along to a friend. I think the box could have used one more full size item, and I'd like to see something a little more exciting than lotions and cleansers. 

Birchbox  is a monthly subscription that costs just $10 a month: no obligation to continue. Cancel at anytime. 
You earn points for taking a short survey on each item in your box, for each box you receive, for anything you purchase on the website, and for referrels. You can use these points to buy items on their website.

Revlon "Silver Dollar" + Essie "Set in Stones" + Stamping =

I LOVE THIS MANI!!!
Sounds conceited, right? But seriously, this was an eye-catching, luscious, sparkly and sexy mani.
