Mother is back

So my mom went on this crazy 8 day trip around the south visiting family.  Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Missouri all in one week.  Crazy right! After all that visiting all this woman brought back is junk food. 

BLOOD SPLATTER

So I have been seeing these all over the web all month and I couldn't wait to do mine for Halloween.  I can't do fancy nail art with a brush and I don't have the steady hand for spider webs so I went with something more abstract. Thus blood splatter nails which I'm more than a little in love with.  I might just wear this manicure again when it's not Halloween although they are a little gruesome.

Pasta ( on netflix)

I've recently been addicted to Korean Romantic Drama (Soap Opera). They are sooooo dramatic and there is something about reading subtitles that makes it seem like I'm reading manga that moves.

Hand Knit Gifts

So my best buddy is moving to Atlanta Georgia and I'm going to be paying her a visit for my birthday (which is in 1 week). I've decided to make her house warming gifts as well as buy her a few things. These are my first completely hand knit items for her gift basket.  I made her a hand towel and a kitchen/body scrubber, depending on how she wants to use it. I think I want to make her another hand towel because to decorate a standard bathroom towel bar you usually need two folded towels. I also want to make her two face towels to match the hand towels and I plan to include some Lush body products. All in all I think she will like the basket I put together.

Hand Obbsession

I know this may sound crazy but ever since I became nuts for nail polish I find myself staring at other people's hands. If someone pushes the elevator button I look at their fingers. If you type in front of me I stare at your hands. It makes me feel a little creepy...I've become a finger voyeur. And don't get me started thinking about what severely chipped nail polish does to me. I mean I know people that paint their nails and just let the polish wear off naturally. This didn't used to bother me, now, I want to demand that they let me fix their nails.  When oh when did I become nail crazed?

Hauling in the polish

So for the past couple of weeks I've been shopping like a mad woman. I'm not proud that all my purchases have been nail polish but I am very pleased that its all been inexpensive nail polish. So really how could I turn down things that were on sale or just plain cheap. Besides there are plenty of women who have way more polish than I do so I feel no guilt. Here is what I got...prepare to be underwhelmed. 

1. Sally Hansen - Celeb City
2. Ulta - Mint Condition ( $2)
3. Ulta - Sun-Sational
4. Ulta- High Roller
5. Ulta - Encore Pink

1. China Glaze - Smoke and Ashes
2. China Glaze - Fast track ( My new favorite almost-nude)
3. Orly - Fresh ( brightest green I've ever seen)

1. NYC - Uptown
2. NYC - Big City Dazzle
3. NYC - Central Park
4. NYC - Lincoln Square Lavender 

1. Essie - Set in Stones (looks good over every polish my favorite glitter. I have to force myself not to put it on everything)
2. Sally Hansen - White On (bought it to stamp with because it's just so thick)

1. Essence - Gold Rush (yep, I only paid 49 cents )
2. Essence - Wake Up
3. Essence - Let's Get Lost
4. Essence - Sweet as Candy (extremely sheer pink that I don't have a clue what to do with???)
5. Essence - Choose Me!

See nothing special but lots of colors I didn't have. I feel like I rounded out my nail polish selection so I can do more nail art type things.
