(ORLY) Galaxy Girl

This is another swatch I did the other day- I seriously need to get caught up! I have a lot of pictures and a lot of drafted posts, but I keep getting nail mail and it distracts me from finishing them! So here is ORLY "Galaxy Girl", a sparkly duochrome I got off of ebay. Unfortunately a lot of my pics were inaccurate or blurry, so here is one from after I added CND "Jade Sparkle" over all but my ring finger. It's also showing a different angle then straight on, so this post is all kinds of messed up! Haha!

(Julep) Charlotte

Julep "Charlotte" is one of the colors I got in my March Julep Maven box and she's so pretty! She's a dusty purple, like a dusty grape color and was opaque in one coat! Amazing!! I didn't even need a topcoat she was so shiny.

Sorry if these pics are a little blurry, like with some blues/purples/reds, the color changed way too much with flash!

Something kind of scary I found out...

I have some cuticle oil laying around that I never use because I LOVE my Julep rollerball one! Thinking I would use them more if they had a different container, I ordered some empty rollerball bottles off of Etsy.

That's when I got to thinking- Self, you are gonna make your own nail polish in a month or two. How cool would it be to make your own cuticle oil as well??

Genius, I thought, and how hard could it be? Get a base oil, add some nice smell and boom! Cuticle oil!

Well, this is when my research uncovered some seriously scary stuff!!

(I look so cute and innocent, but read on to find my scary truths!)

(China Glaze) Blue Hawaiian

This is an older mani I did with China Glaze "Blue Hawaiian", a sparkly glittery blue that really reminds me of the ocean. Or a mermaid tail.

McEvoy Ranch Body Balm

I was in my college's shop looking for some stuff on sale (got some flip flops for spring break for $10 bucks! Whoo!) and saw some samples of a new product on a little table..

Something that is very well known about me- I have a sensitive nose. Not like, anything that smells is gross to me (although powerful smells can give me a headache) I more mean that my nose really really REALLY likes good smelling things! Bf just sighed because I zoomed to the sample table and started sniffing like a hound!

Picked up some "Body Balm" because it looked seriously amazing and get this... it smells like basil!!! I fell in love at first sniff! Ahh Italian goodness be mine! My only concern was, how am I going to get this where I want it without making my palms greasy?

Solution: Makeup sponge. Win.
