Goodies and Kitty!

Hi everyone! I first want to start out by apologizing. I have been super busy and I have not been able to comment on blog posts for the past couple of weeks. Sadly this will probably continue for at least a few more weeks. Between this week-long conference and the abundance of homework and studying that I need to do for the end of the semester (which is coming up way too fast!) finding the time to read everyone's blog posts is just not going to happen. I feel really bad because I have always tried to read everyone's posts, but I just don't have the time right now. Once this semester is over I will be able to get back on track, I promise!

In other news, I recieved a package two weeks ago that contained my prize from The Wizards of Bling giveaway! I picked the two Sally Hansen polishes, Star Opal in Rose Gold Opal and Fire Opal in Earthen Opal, theyy are so pretty! And it came in the cutest bag and heart-shaped tin, thank you ladies! I can't wait to try them out.

Next I am going to share a picture of my kitty! This is my kitty at home, and her name is Chloe. We got her from under my aunt's porch about 9-10 years ago when she was a kitten. We lured her out with ham lol. I don't know why she looks so wide-eyed in this picture because she usually isn't. Oh and that fur thing behind her? That is her rabbit fur, she LOVES playing with it. She throws it around and stalks it and hunts it lol. She was never much of a jingle-toy or ball cat, she much prefers toy mice, catnip, and fur. She also weighs a lot for a cat, I think she weighs in at about 19 pounds. Yeah, that is not all fur! She is such a sweet kitty though!

Mecca Cosmetica Celia

Squeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! (Jumps up and down like an over-excited 3 year old) I got my wonderful package from Jacie O who writes You've Got Nail all of the way from Australia! I have never gotten an international package before, so it was really neat to get one. I won a prize from her inaugural giveaway, and I won a Mecca Cosmetica polish in Celia.

Jacie, you pack so well! For anyone who ever wins a polish from her, I can pretty much guarantee that it will not break or leak. It was taped up to prevent leaks and was wrapped tight in bunches of bubble wrap, it took me 15 minutes to get that puppy open; but it was in pristine condition after traveling halfway around the world!

I am really so lucky to have gotten this. This particular brand is only sold and shipped to Australia and New Zealand, and this is by far the most expensive polish in my collection (~$18.54 USD). Thank you so much Jacie, I love it!

I would describe this polish as a pink/lavender. I know that the picture makes it look pink, but it is not. This is definetly best described as MAC Snob lipstick in nail polish form. It is not pink, but at the same time not purple, although it leans more towards the purple side IMO. It can't decide what color it is! It also contains a pretty subtle silver shimmer to it in the bottle, but it doesn't show up on the nail. It applied perfectly in two coats, and is surprisingly opaque. It is very worksafe without being boring; which I love! Do you all love the color too?

My Prize Goodies!

Last week I won the giveaway from the lovely Allya from Painted Tips! Thank you so much Allya! She was giving away two China Glazes of the winner's choice and I picked Harmony and Devotion from the Romantiques Collection from early this year. I just got them in the mail (I have been away for awhile) and I am really excited about them! You won't see swatches until next month because I have a special surprise segment for you all next week that takes up 5 days, so my blog will be a little thrown off for awhile, but I am really excited about the segment; I think that you will all enjoy it!

Oh, and I am dancing my happy dance because I hit 100 followers! Wow! I love you all, enjoy your Wednesday!
