Monday Blues - Colors by Llarowe Wind Beneath My Wings

Hi, guys - Happy Mondayyyy! We are still enjoying some cold and dreary weather here in Colorado, but I am not going to let it get me down - especially when I have a stunning polish to show you for today's Monday Blues!

This is Colors by Llarowe Wind Beneath My Wings. This polish was part of a recent collection of charity polishes - the proceeds from the sales of this particular polish went to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Wind Beneath My Wings is a gorgeous medium denim blue with a touch of holo and an amazing copper shimmer.

I just had to have this polish - and I mean had to have it. Like, in an I-seriously-questioned-my-sanity kind of way. Llarowe launches/restocks can be kind of crazy, but this one took the cake. I was at my computer at exactly 15 minutes prior to go time, and was promptly placed in the "queue" at the top of the hour. About 7 minutes later I was allowed into the website for my turn, only to find that Wind Beneath My Wings was reserved! I hit refresh for nearly an hour - an HOUR - but I couldn't give up while there was still a chance! My bf even created an account on llarowe.com in an effort to help snag one for me (talk about true love), and finally, victory was mine!

Was it worth it? Absolutely. Do I still question my sanity? Every day, people...every day.  :)

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Boutique

Hi, guys - I hope everyone is having a great week! Last week I had really had it with the snow and cold weather, so the bf and I took off for an impromptu weekend in Las Vegas! For a few days we enjoyed the warm weather, drinks by the pool, and In-N-Out Burger!!!

Today I am back with the Neverending Pile Challenge and our theme is boutique. I figured I couldn't go wrong with two polishes from I Love Nail Polish as they say "boutique nail lacquer" right on the label!

These are my picks from the ILNP Spring 2014 collection - Cutie Pop and Music Box. Both of these shades are absolutely stunning! Cutie Pop is a coral-ish pink with golden shimmer and a subtle holo sparkle. Music Box is a dusty teal with turquoise sparkle and a slightly stronger holo.

Check it out - this mani almost matches my Topsie!  :)

The Neverending Pile Challenge - Glitter

Woo woo it's challenge time! Missy over at Gnarly Gnails has put together The Neverending Pile Challenge where we dust off those untried polishes and wear 'em! I hope to participate in quite a few of the prompts for this challenge, as I have soooooo many polishes that haven't been shown any love.

The first challenge theme is glitter!

I decided to go with HARE polish Oh What Fun it is to Love, which was part of the Bohemian Holiday 2013 collection. This polish is a lovely pinkish/brick red shade with golden and white glitters, and a delicate shimmer. I really love this - I think it just might be my new favorite HARE polish!

Monday Blues - ellagee Chase The Clouds Away

Hi, guys - I hope everyone had a great weekend! I did a little bit of spring cleaning and then settled in for the Game of Thrones season 4 premier - yayyy! Of course the end of the weekend means Monday, and that means the Monday Blues.

ellagee Chase The Clouds Away is a beautiful sky blue with holographic shimmer and lots of teeny tiny glitters in a rainbow of colors. Sounds like the perfect April polish, no? Hopefully we've chased the last of the snow away here - I'm so over winter but it seems to just keep hanging on.  :/
