Spring Nail Polishes!!

Where I live, the weather report and the season are never quite the same . . . yesterday it was sunny and warm . . . today it's clowdy with winds blowing at probably 30MPH, no joke. So when I went to Sally's to get some spring nail polishes today, I was faily disapointed with the weather. Luckily, I had my hair in an up-do so it wasn't getting all over my face :)

I went to Sally's a couple weeks ago and got two polishes that I adored by Orly. One was called Green Apple and the othe was Butterflies. I did my manicure with Butterflies on all of my fingers but my ring fingers. Unfortunately, Butterflies turned out to be a jell consistancy, so I returned it and got the most fabulous blue.



*Quote from All Lacqured Up about Green Apple* :
Green Apple is a vivid lime creme. The bottle color is very deceptive in that the polish dries darker on the nail. It has an almost pastel quality that goes away once applied. And holy pigmentation batman!! I barely needed two coats, it just flows on the nail so perfectly. If you’re looking for a fun spring green, this one is definitely a winner.

I dragged Jeremiah along with me, just because. I couldn't decide on what color to swap it out for. I told him I wanted a creme base (which took a bit for him to understand) and I told him what ones I was leaning toward. Out of his frustration to me for not letting him go to Radio Shack, he kept going "Here's one" or "How about this one?" Then, he did it. He found The One.

Orly: Blue Collar

I love this color of blue! My picture is a bit blurry (or just crappy, I had to brighten it a lot), but I don't care! It's fabulous! This is a two-coater, but they dry super fast and have amazing shine. I love this color and Green Apple as well. :D

YEY for spring!

Spring Cleaning

. . . in March? Well, not really. I'm doing laundry right now. On a Friday night. I'm cool.


....

Anyway. I had just completed my FAFSA (4 days late!!! oh no!!) and decided to do some laundry. I got to thinking about how energizing it is when everything is clean. It's an amazing feeling. Which is very hypocritical of me to say. These are pictures of my apartment. As of March 4th, 2011:

This is my kitchen. On a VERY regular basis.





This is my Living Room. Where we store things apparently.





Bathroom. All me.




UN-MADE BED!! [my Cabela's hat]

I don't know why I'm such a messy person . . . who likes to clean?

Acutally it's not that I like cleaning per se, it's just that when I get in the mood for it I REALLY get in the mood for it. And then it makes me super happy knowing that tomorrow I'm going to wake up with clean laundry. And that's all.

Well, on to the rest of the apartment :)
