NOTD: If You've Got It, Haunt It

Hey guys! As you might know, I'm pretty obsessed with nail polish. I have hundreds of colors in my collection, and I paint my nails at least twice a week. I thought I would start sharing the colors I use and my thoughts on them as well, so you can get a better idea of if a specific shade would be right for you.

For my first NOTD (Nail of the Day), I'm wearing Sephora by OPI in "If You've Got It, Haunt It". This polish retails from Sephora for $9.00, and was part of their 2010 Halloween collection. The polish has a black base and is loaded with mostly silver glitter, but also has green, red, and blue glitter mixed in. I wouldn't call the glitter chunky, like the Sephora website says. It's more of a mid-sized glitter, but it does feel lumpy when you run your finger over it. I only needed to apply 2 coats to achieve the look you see in the picture. It applied evenly and dries very quickly. The consistency of the polish is quite thick (probably due to the immense glitter content), but I didn't find it to be too difficult to work with.

If anyone is curious, I always use the Sephora by OPI base coat and the OPI RapiDry top coat.









I hope you liked my first NOTD, and I hope everyone had a fun and happy Halloween! =)

Where Have I Been???

Hey Guys! It's been so, so long since I've talked to any of you, and I miss you all. As happens to most of us at some point, life just gets in the way. As some of you that watched me on YouTube for a long time know, after I moved down here to Florida, my videos started coming at less frequent intervals, until they pretty much died out all together. It started to get tougher for me to find time to make my videos. Between my new environment, growing pains, job stress, and personal relationships, something had to give.

I also have had to cut down on my makeup purchases. Everything is more expensive here, and quite honestly, I already have SO MUCH makeup. More than I will use in my lifetime. I'm not saying I haven't been buying any makeup, but it's a lot less than it used to be. I still would like to sell off some of my collection, and the thought of a blog sale is starting to cross my mind again.

I really want to start making YouTube videos again in the future. While on my hiatus, YouTube finally made me a Partner! It took them so long to accept my application, that I had forgotten I even applied. But anyway, like I was saying, I do want to start making videos again, although it may take me a while to get back up to speed. For now I've decided to start back up slowly and try to start making more blog posts, as well as putting up slide show videos on YouTube to compliment certain blog posts (like if I post pics here from a haul). I may also make some updated collection videos soon. People are still begging me for an updated nail polish collection video...and that is definitely the part of my collection that has grown the most!

Consider this post as Part One of my inevitable comeback. Talk to you all again soon. =)
