Short and Sassy!

Short and sassy would describe me. Except I'm not really sassy. I'm French. Anyway, presenting Short and Sassy!

I must say, I absolutely love this color. The polish dried fast, barely chipped in three days (again, quite the accomplishment for me) and goes with everything. I've never been a big fan of China Glaze because I don't often find their colors wearable (for me). This, however, is making me change my mind.

I kinda just wish my skintone was darker to match it. Or that I was tanned. But no skin cancer for me. Can you believe the oiled barbies you still see on the beaches?! What? People are stupid. Enjoy your skin cancer. Same goes with cigarettes - but that takes me on another tangent. I have plenty of bad habits so I'm not really one to talk anyway!

It's been really warm here lately. Hopefully the weather cools off. Or at least we could get some awesome thundershowers please?

Borghese again!

Hi all! Happy Saturday night. I'm spending an excellent night with the hunny, blogging whilst he's playing a video game. We also watched The Sixth Sense since I had never seen it before. I liked it a lot! Bruce Willis was pretty awesome in his prime.

Moving on. Here's Borghese's Stellar Notte.

 

If the bottle looks small, it's because it's a mini! The polish is gorgeous. It has flashes of green and purple but still has a gunmetal feel to it. Seems like it could be similar to Chanel's Black Pearl if it didn't have the purple flash in it - the purple flash isn't too strong though. The shimmer is very small which gives it a flawless application. This is two thin coats and Seche Vite topcoat. I can't speak highly enough of Borghese - not one polish I have of theirs is a dud. I think I have about 5 by now... and counting because it's on SALE this week!

Uh oh, Deborah Lippmann, you've got me under your wing...

Um yeah, I went back to that local shop. And came back with some Pop Life!

And Cake hand lotion.

I quite like the hand lotion. It's definitely not sticky, it absorbs quickly and it smells really nice. It's quite a sweet smell though, so for people who don't like vanilla-ish smells, beware. Hopefully this will work better than my other hand lotions which include the Vaseline brand ones, and Avene, which flatly sucks.

Here are pictures of the polish. It's beautiful.

It's very pink without being too bright. It's definitely not what I would call neon. It's strange - it looks like a soft pink in some lights and way brighter in others. Definitely a staple in my collection.

 

The closest polish I have to this is Essie Jumpin Junkanoo. But Jumpin Junkanoo has very subtle shimmer and Pop Life does not.

I am also in love with the Deborah Lippmann formula. It dries super quickly to a jelly and very hard formula. Thus, the wearability is excellent. I'm definitely a fan. Next on my list are Bad Romance, Lara's Theme, Glitter in the Air, Bitches Brew, Don't Tell Mama... And that's just on the top of my head. I may have a new found addiction.

50th Post Splurge!

Good afternoon bloggers!

This is my fiftieth post! I'm really proud of myself because I started this blog as a way to occupy my time and give myself a project. I'm the kind of person that goes crazy without projects to fill up her life - this blogging has been rewarding my sanity. Thanks Blogger!

I told myself that at 50 posts, I'll treat myself with something I wouldn't normally buy. And so I came up with some Deborah Lippmann polishes! I couldn't justify the price without the accomplishment. So I waited for my 50 posts!

I got the All That Jazz trio at a local beauty store.

I'm not even a fan of glitter in general but these are SO pretty. Especially the following:

 

Am I right? Like if you're going to do Deborah Lippmann, you might as well do her glitters. They are flat out stunning. This polish has so much depth! I'm totally in love with it! This is two coats with Seche Vite on top. I'm loving the jelly finish of this polish. I don't remember the last time I've seen a navy polish that was jelly.

I shall post her other polishes in the next few days. Stay tuned!

BBQ Time!

Don't you love it when you find a polish you're completely smitten with?

That's me and OPI's Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ.

Pretty right? Not too berry colored nor too brown. This is a two coater. I hasn't even chipped after a day (shocker for me). It totally makes me want to eat a nice steak from the grill. Mmmm.
