I went out this weekend to do some grocery shopping and to hunt down some items for some swaps I was doing. My husband decided to have some father daughter time so I could have some mommy time while I did all this. You have no idea how much I needed this little bit of time to myself! I ended up finding most of what I wanted for my swaps. I was so excited! I even found a small amount for myself. I got home and I had a huge bag of goodies from Andrea at Finger Painting Fingers! I will post pics of my mini haul and nail mail next. 

Oh, how I've missed you guys! I enjoyed revamping my page, but I've missed painting my nails and sharing with you all. It's silly how, once you get into the swing of things with a beauty blog, the stupidest little cut can kinda put you out of commission for a bit. At least is was only 3 days! I had to wait for the cut to heal so I could use remover without putting myself through a lot of pain. I knew I had to do something fun for my first post back. I asked my husband what color I should do, he said violet, but unfortunately I don't have any violet polishes. :o( Everything is either really light and lavender or super dark. I guess I need to focus on some in between shades of purple. Anyway, on my hunt for a purple that could be called violet I came across some pinks. More specifically, Max Makeup Cherimoya Matte.n.a Fairytale. It's a silvery bubble gum matte pink. I LOVE it! But then, I love the 16 Matte.n.a polishes I have and I need to find out how I can get the other 16.

I recently got a nasty cut on my finger while chopping onions. I'm sorry it put my posts out of commission for a few days, but I got a chance to revamp some things. Yesterday, I decided I had had enough and Maggie and I really needed to mani/pedis. Instead of diving straight into smothering my hand in acetone, I tested things by taking off Maggie's polish. No issues!! I was so happy! After that, I couldn't wait to get her in bed so I could finally chance my nail color. 3 days of the same colors was driving me batty! I told Maggie to go pick a color and she came back with this... 

So, we had fun plans this weekend to get out and drive up to Gettysburg and explore (the outlet mall). haha Then it decided to rain all weekend. There goes that plan. Even better, we had fun pajama days and watched movies, had dance parties and the best part of the whole weekend... laundry!! :o) To brighten my rainy days, I got some nail mail!! Nothing huge, but I'm still very excited about them!!

So many people have been doing neon manis. It's been rainy and gloomy in these parts lately, so I figured I would grab the few I had and do one as well. The only neon polishes I have are matte, and I just got my first matte top coats. So I was also excited to finally be able to use the polishes as they were meant to be used... matte... not glossy! My nails look like highlighters right now. I feel like I'm back in high school Yes, I used to paint my nails with highlighters when I got bored in class sometimes... who didn't?!
