Light - Rocket Summer

hellllloooo!!!!! I'm in a slightly better mood today ;) so I thought I would post some stuff that makes me happy! First of all, MY faveeeee pink polish ever. Pop Life by deborah lippmann. I rarely wear just plain colors, but this one is worthy haha.
Also, random side note: this color matches the pink on a cupcake box! They're the best cupcakes ever! And cupcakes make me happy tooo lol
Oh--- AND my sister had her baby. Remember the baby shower post? Well she finally had her! Baby lily is SO beautiful! I'd show you but I'm not sure my sister is ok with her being on the blog :/ She wasn't born in september like I wanted but at least she's a virgo like her auntie! (Me) hahah! Wellll that's all I have for today.

I'll Find Another You - John Mayer

Gah, sometimes.. life just throws you curveballs... ones you would NEVER expect. Definitely going through something recently.. and my nails.. are taking the brunt of it. i mean... look how short i filed them down! EEEEEK!!!!!!!

I just wanted to so something simple.. and this is about as simple as it gets. i used zoya in savita and phoebe. i really do like the color combo.. i think i could have done something way cooler with these two polishes but.. like i said.. i have been having a rough couple weeks.
This was taken before i did any clean up.... and look at my cuticles! they are basically yelling at me! what is wrong with me.... im not sure this damage is irreversible! hahahah
dont judge all the mess! next post will be better!!! swear. but i DO love these colors together.. dont youuu???
gah.. look at all that matte glory in this picture. is it weird to say that zoya mattes are almost.. not matte enough for me?? that sounds weird. but they still have a sheen to them that makes me want to apply some matte about you over top of them! haha - i know, im weird, but you love me.

Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles

Just a quick post before I leave today! Ive been so busy at my new position that I dont have much time to do my nails... blahhhhhh. BUTTT it is almost my birthday (16 days and counting) and I am sure I will get tonsssss of new polishes for you guys to see.

I started out by painting all of my nails yellow with Pippa.. and then used my speedy top coat to hurry along the process..
After that polish was dry.. I used Robyn to create a half moon on my nail and then to paint my entire ring finger....
FINALLLLLLLYYY after that was dry.. I added a few dots with my handy dandy dotting tool.

............................. Sealed it with my speedy top coat.. and VOILA. a simple summer mani... I thought it screammmeeddd summer time. Y'all like it???? Hope so!

ZOYA PROMO = RECEIVED!!!

I know, I know. You are TOTALLLLLY jealy of these polishes aren't you? It's ok. I would be tooooo.

Like most of you, I took advantage of the latest Zoya Promo (which was probably the best) and ordered one polish and got TWOOO free polishes of my choice. As you can see I got Robyn, Pippa, and Savita.

Robyn is a creamy bright blue color.. also one of my all time favorite colors in the world. I dont really have a whole lot of yellow polish so I thought.. why not.. ill get Pippa.. haha but she seems to be a really intense creamy yellow! Savita.... oh Savita.. how I lusted for you. Savita is a rick purple matte.. SO MUCH YES. I cant even explain.
I just wanna like.. carry the bottles in my purse and take them out and look at them when i need to be happy. -- that sounds totally unhealthy. but I cant help it. I just LOVE Zoya's.

you understand... right? :)

Seventeen - Stars Go Dim

Well, I went to the Stars Go Dim concert.. they were playing with A Rotterdam November.. I was SO excited for this... i thought there would be a lot more people there... but it like a kick back.. not even a concert. it was such a sit down atmosphere.. i was disappointed. BUTTTT the highlight of the night didnt come from either of those bands.

But before i get into that.. ill show u the nails that i wore to the concert :)


it sort of looks like pond water with algae growing on top. but i like it. hahaha the glitter is just wayyy more amazing that u would think. Its Call You Later by Sinful Colors.. its a bronzey green glitter. i mean... i cant even explain how much i love it. and for .99c?? u cant beat it. yyaaaa likkkee???? But the best part of the night was definitely when a couple of friends from Tulsa (who also like SGD) told me to go up to "Mike Left" and say YEAHHAHAHAHAHHAHH.. which of course i did.. and then they told me to ask him to sing. ANDDDD with little effort.. i convinced him to. He is actually super good. obviously. ANNND you should like him on facebook. k? CLICK! Here are a few shots of the bands... this is Stars Go Dim. It was such an intimate performance.. and by intimate.. i mean like.... 30 people. i was into it.

This is A Rotterdam November.. i was suprised by them too... super good. Brittany and i talked to the guitarist guy for like.. 30 minutes after. evidently he eats fish balls?? hahah jk. but u can check them out toooooo. PS - the guitarists guys name is Dylan - like die-lan. i like it. and doesnt he look like Mac Hanson? yes.
