As you all may have seen in a previous post, I'm so ready for fall!! I love bright colors, but something is drawing me towards the rich darker colors. Do you see where I'm going with this? :o) Yes, I did more dark colors!
Hello, all! I'm sorry for the small break I had to take. We had company in town and leading up to that it was major cleaning time. I missed you all! In a couple weeks I will be having to take 2 weeks off again, but I'm looking into getting guest bloggers to cover that time. It's the munchkin's 3rd birthday, and the hubby will be out of town for a month so I'll be handling the cleaning and preparation and company on my own. I don't want to leave you guys high and dry like I did back in May. I didn't like doing that. Anywho...
I recently received my first VoxBox from Influenster. I got the Mom VoxBox. I hate to say that I was so excited about it... I totally forgot to take pictures. I know... shocking... I take so many pictures and I forgot to take a picture of the whole package. So, I'm sorry... I hate that I forgot, but I got a good box! That's why most of it is all gone! :o)
I've just recently started acquiring some of the lovely OPI Designer Series polishes. So many shades full of sparkle/glitter. Each one is absolutely stunning in its own way. Surprisingly enough, out of the few bottles of DS I own, DS Bold has been calling my name the most. Reds don't usually draw me in. Actually, I have to REALLY be in the mood to put on red. Even red clothes. It's not a color that I general have anywhere. Now that I say it like that, DS Bold is starting to sound like my "poison apple" or "forbidden fruit". UGH And that makes it even more sexy.
OKAY!!! Going to stop talking and just get to the pictures already... that's what you're really here for isn't it? ;o)

A few weeks ago, SneakPeeq had a deal where you'd get a $10 credit after peeqing at 5-10 items. During this deal, they had LEX Cosmetics as one of the brands they were offering. Luckily enough, when you peeqed their polishes they were $10. Perfect if you got the $10 credit! Well, when I went to check out, I noticed a link that said "Click here to get free shipping". Of course, I clicked it. I shared the info on my FB page and got free shipping on top of a free bottle of polish! Nothing much better than free polish huh?
I had never heard of LEX Cosmetics before that day. It was free polish, I didn't care. I did my mani, still didn't go to their page and research them. I wanted to be able to review the product freely without knowing anything. So, first off... here is the polish I picked out...

Yesterday, I had a baby shower to go to. It was a lot of fun! I hadn't seen my friend in 3 years. Actually, the last time she saw me was when I was pregnant with Maggie. And the funny thing is, she's due just a few days before Maggie's birthday. There's always that off chance her baby will be born on Maggie's birthday. Would be funny...
Anyway, for her baby shower I wanted to do something simple, but fun. I grabbed 10 of my blue glitter polishes and decided to do an ombre blue glitter mani. Obviously, I opted for blue because she's having a boy. I swiped each polish on a piece of paper so I could figure out what order to put them in. I thought I got it right, but after all was said and done, I had a couple that were a little off. It was ok though because it wasn't all that bad.
This is a little picture heavy so I'll get right to it!

**Products were sent for my honest review. All opinions are my own.**
Maria at Cult Nails was kind enough to send me some of her polishes to review. I was so excited to be able to do this for her. Most of you are familiar with Cult Nails polish, so for this review, I wanted to show the colors in their true form. I didn't layer them over anything. I didn't do anything fancy with them. Trust me, they shine on their own!

Since I've gone on an overload of reviews and pictures lately, I figured I'd take it easy on you all today and do a new Maggie's Corner post. :o) Today we've got A Little Kindness from Rainbow Honey's Equestria Collection. A Little Kindness is inspired by Fluttershy on My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.

The wonderful Sunny at 365 Days of Color sent me 2 polishes from her upcoming Toxic Love Collection to review. I was giddy with excitement when I saw them! She actually let me pick the ones I wanted to review. I knew right away I wanted Dangerously Beautiful and Killer Kiss.
The lovely Erin over at Nostalgic Nail Lacquer sent me a fun polish to review. When I opened the package, Maggie jumped in and snagged the bottle. She kept ooooing and ahhhhing over it. I think someone is going to have a love of matte glitter like her mommy! Do you wanna see which polish she sent?! Alright, I guess I should show you...
