I'm usually a pink girl but...

I decided to try a pretty blue! Pink pretty much decribes me in a nutshell. It's not even an option if color comes up. I dont think that I have ever worn anything on my nails not in the pink/red family before(unless your count "mad as a hatter" as not). Colors are all the rage right now though so I headed to the drug store and fell in love with " For Audrey" by China Glaze. It's something different and I love it. This post is really over due... I first painted them about a week ago! I just redid them though.. they needed a bit of a touch-up.. esspecially my poor pitiful toe that has been through so much trama these past weeks! haha

For Audrey-

Lucky Lucky Lavender

So today I treated myself to a new bottle of nail polish. This is beginning to become my small treat to myself every few weeks when I need a little something to brighten my day! I've been eyeing this color for a while now and decided to go for it today. It's in the new OPI Hong Kong collection. Although this is not a favorite (it could be because it followed such a statement "Mad as a Hatter") I still do like it. It comes out more of a pinky color than lavender but still very pretty and a bit springy which I was hoping for! That's all for now..

Mad as a Hatter

Like I did the other week instead of getting my nails done I bought a fabulous new polish! It's from OPI's new line of Alice in Wonderland polishes. Mad as a Hatter is this one's particular name. Most of them are kinda crazy and not the traditional OPI to say the least. I think they did a great job of representing the movie from what I can tell from the previews. The movie itself looks a little creepy but it's in 3D which seems like it'd be very cool. I'm not positive however that I will be making that one. Anyhow the polish is all sparkles and glitter...kinda purpley siverish is how I would describe it. I have it on now and I LOVE it. The glitter and sparkle is very me and I also like purple as well although I don't usually wear it on my nails. I decided I should go for it though.. You're only young once!!

Pink Pick-Me-Up

Today was just one of those sad days. None of my roommates were in the room. I had already napped for a bit and it was still early in the afternoon plus our room was a furnace to say the least. I don't have any school work yet although it will hit me soon. Just one of those days, you know. So I decided to get in my car and go somewhere. I decided I would go get my nails done. As I drove though I was totaling what my bill would be in my head and thinking how long I'd have to wait and all. Then it occured to me that a bottle of nail polish usually runs about $8 for a good kind and getting my nails painted would cost between $15 and $20. This is kind of crazy when you think about it. Now don't get my wrong I love a good set of acrylic nails anyday and I absolutely LOVE pedicures but today I decided to go for the more thrifty and practical option. So after a few loops around the square and through town I headed toward our Hallmark store. I know that sounds like a very strange place to get nail polish but believe it or not it is one of the only places in this town that sell OPI polish. This is also a crazy fact to me.. I mean this is a college town with lots and lots of girls but anyhow. After several minutes of deliberation I settled on a Barbie pink color called "Shorts Story". OPI has the cutest names for nail polish!! So I headed back to the house to try out my new purchase! Success!!

Tonight my friends and I attended a speaking entitled "Girls Night Out". The speaker for the event was author of many useful books for girls around our age including "Sex in the City Uncovered" and "The List", Marion Jordan. She spoke about her life in college and the mistakes she made throughout her college career and into her single young adult life. Her story was amazing and she was a great speaker!! She said many things that are worth remembering and worth repeating. Tonight though I'll share a funny one: "Never Ever, never ever believe what a boy says in a hott tub!!"(or something of that effect)This is such a true statement! She was mainly talking about "The Bachelor" but it is also just a common rule of thumb I believe. Something about the attire or the warm water jets I believe. As you can tell she spoke mainly on relationships and self value.. self esteem and Gods impact on all of this in our lives. Wonderful!
