My Friend Nails and NAIL MAIL!

I have a few manis to show you that I did for my friends. 

Samantha's "Foxy" Nails

Andrea's "Lupus Awareness" Nails

Reba's "Spooky" Nails

This was a lovely nail mail sent to me by my friend Elise. These two polishes were on my wishlist forever! 

NAIL MAIL FROM ISRAEL!!!! Thank you Jin!!!!

So I was very pleasantly surprised by my friend Jin from the blog Superficially Colorful. 

She sent a humongous box to me from her native country of Israel. I love international nail mail! I love that I have friends near and so very far. :) 

Anyway, here is what she sent!!!

This box is loaded with goodies! 

Mmmmm....international treats!

Here's what makes this package super special: not only did Jin send polishes, but she sent her very own polishes which are currently not available to anyone but her closest and dearest friends. I'm please to be one!!! 

As if all those beautiful polishes that she sent weren't enough, I got another package from Jin just a few days later with a few more lovely polish beauties!!!

Jin specially made this custom polish just for me! It's called "Hot Italian Woman". D'awwwww....thanks Jin! 

I love the gold and red. Look at the stars and dots!!!! Gold and Red are probably equally my two favorite polish colors. She hit this nail on the head! 

What do you think of this lovely nail mail? I can't wait to show you swatches of her polishes! She has several color changing polishes as well as a glow in the dark polish. 

BARIELLE NAIL MAIL!!!

I received some lovely new products to review from Barielle. I got the opportunity to hand pick them from Barielle's huge array of nail and skin care products. They have so many product and polishes to choose from that it really took quite some time to shop through the site. 

Check out what they sent!

I have to be honest and say that I don't really use this cream. I prefer Cutie Balm for my nail beds, but this made a nice gift for a friend. The cream has a lovely scent and a non-greasy texture. 

I couldn't wait to try this product out. I go through cuticle remover creams like water. It's a staple in my manicure routine. 

These particular Barielle shades are ones that I've seen swatches of long ago and wanted very badly. Aren't they lovely and unique!!! 

I think Barielle polish sets are to die for! I own several. Each set is a great mix of colors. I especially like this set of Carnival inspired shades. 

I have truly been a Barielle fan since I purchased a set from them many years ago. Stay tuned for future swatches of these polishes. I can't wait to show them to all of you.

*special thanks to Barielle for providing me with these lovely polishes and nail care products to show you all today.*

So what do you think of these polishes? Which is your favorite? What great Barielle shades do you own/love? 

NAIL MAIL!!! From My Super Awesome Friend Jen!

Today I want to show you a lovely package I received from my friend Jen from My Nail Polish Obsession. If you aren't already a follower of her blog, you should check her out. She tries on a lot of fun new polishes and has some great nail designs.

So here's what she sent. 

So, how awesome is Jen? I love everything she sent me. I was so excited to cross a lot of these polishes off my WISHLIST. Also, since these photos were taken, I had a chance to use the foot pumice sponge and that thing is amazing! Seriously! I usually use a paddle style file on my feet, but I'm a convert to these sponges now. They're great! 

Do you swap polishes with friends? Have you tried any of these lovely polishes before?
