Older than most tumblr users (I was born in the 70's).
I am sure that will make a difference in what I post.
Please check out my blog before following.
I don't post many personal posts.
I am not an annoying fangirl. I do not jump on bandwagons and post EVERYTHING from them.
From Chicago, one of the greatest cities.
This is a place for my odds and ends I find that I love.
I do post quite a bit sometimes.
I will most likely post lots of quotes, movie and tv caps or stills, pictures of animals, and other random things that catch my fancy.

And this summer collection, aptly named Summer Neons, is a little less my style. But seeing them in person just might sway me.
(Left to right, top row) Love’s A Beach, Hang-Ten Toes, Beach Cruise-r, Under The Boardwalk, Ride The Waves, Splish Splash and (left to right, bottom row) I’m With The Lifeguard, Sun-Kissed, Orange You Hot, Surfin’ For Boys, Flirty Tankini, Pink Plumeria.

Ugh, that dark blue is calling me <3

want em all

I wonder how some of these compare to neon’s china glaze has already put out (that I own already)

TEN DAY NAIL POLISH CHALLENGE - DAY 4
FAVORITE COLOR
It’s virtually impossible for me to pick ONE color. I blame the libra in me! I will however pick ORLY, Fowl Play for this one, because it’s one of my recents buys and I just ADORE it. I couldn’t stop starring at my nails the whole week I was wearing it, look how pretty!
ORLY - Fowl Play

I love this color. i wore it a couple weeks ago and it was very pretty

blanketprint:

Color: Trendsetter (China Glaze)Retail Price: $6.50 (USD)
This shade is from China Glaze’s Metro collection. It is a mustard yellow with gold shimmer. It almost looks like a very yellowed olive green. I think it’s the most stunning shade from the Metro collection, so if you want to only get one shade from this collection, make it this one! It’s not a standard “fall” shade (I don’t really think it is), but it seems to fit within this collection, too!
Application was smooth and easy. I needed two coats to achieve bottle color.

I am doing a bit of an experiment. I did one nail with bonder base coat. Since suede and matte polishes are very &#8220;chippy&#8221;, I did just my regular base coat Nail Magic on every other nail and I did Nail Magic and orly&#8217;s bonder on my right hand ring finger. As of right now&#8230; that is the only nail that is not chipped (I did my nails wed night). I should have put the bonder on a different nail cus generally my ring fingers do not chip easy&#8230; but I am going out tomorrow night so I will be taking this off and doing another polish&#8230; but I will revisit this experiment to see how long the polish will last with bonder as a base.
Yes, suede and matte polishes tell you not to use a base or a top coat BUT I was trying it out with the base and the tc.

I wish I had some of these but with the price tag&#8230; right now not so much. I will stick with OPI, China Glaze, Orly, Fingerpaints, Essie, and even the NOPI and $OPI

    You do not need to follow me to enter the giveaway. I am more than happy and grateful with the number of followers I already have. Though if you take a look around and you like the blog, you are more than welcome to follow! :) But I will not be giving extra entries to new followers for the duration of this giveaway.
