It's Been A While...

I always say I'm gonna get back to regular posting... it never happens. Y'all know the deal. But I do have a review that I was supposed to do like fifty years ago. So I actually do have that coming up. And it REALLY IS COMING because I've already written it out and put it on a schedule. Y'all are welcome. But I thought I should like update before I just throw a random review out there. I'm gonna try to sum up the end of 2012 and beginning of this year with a few pictures. I was going through the pics on my phone and I noticed that I have very few pictures of all the awesome things I've done. I get picture happy when I'm at an Arkansas game, but otherwise it's like I don't have a camera on my phone. Anyway, let's get started. 

 I have been obsessed with French manicures. Obsessed. I have no idea why. I mean I've always loved them because I think they look clean and classy. But I also like bling and bright colors. I've had a couple shellac French manicures and have loved them. My nails will go with everything I wear and they don't chip or get messed up. So easy and low maintenance! They're just really pricy.

 My awesome Godmother lives in France and she was back in town recently. She gave me some AMAZING nail polish! It's a brand based in Switzerland called Mavala. She got me a really pretty red (that is the perfect Razorback red!!!!) a gorgeous gray and then a sparkly pink glitter. I didn't get pictures of the bottles, but I took a picture of the red on my nails, I have the glitter on my ring finger. This polish is seriously the best. Super pigmented and possibly the smoothest and easiest polish to apply EVER. I love it! So thank you, Michelle! And y'all can check out her blog and see what she's up to in France.

 I went to a rodeo back in December. I love going to rodeos! So much fun. I went to the same one last year. I don't remember the exact title or whatever, but it's college students from all over competing. My favorite part is when they ride the bulls, but of course I didn't get a picture of that part.

And I just liked this picture. I thought the sky was so pretty, in the mirror and just out the window.

I've been really busy. The spring semester started about a month ago and I got really overwhelmed because my classes are pretty hard. But I'm getting into it and it's not as bad as I was thinking it would be. Of course, I did drop a class. Well let me tell you why... I have been putting off taking a Biology class because I cannot stand science. And so I registered to take it in the spring online. What was I thinking? Y'all try doing labs online and let me know how it goes. It was impossible. So I will be taking it like a normal person in a real class in the fall. I'm so dumb for choosing to take it online. Honestly, the only kind of class that really works online is one with a bunch of reading involved (like history). Not a really interactive class like Biology. So yeah I dropped it. That's over. And I feel a million times better.

What's been going on with y'all? I'm sorry for not being very consistent with my blogging. :( Y'all can always follow me on twitter or look me up on facebook, because for whatever reason I always have time for that. ;)

Game Day Nails!

Hey y'all! I've really been wanting to share my game day nails! On September 8 I went to a Razorbacks football game in Little Rock and I had to have good looking nails. I went with a "shellac" manicure because I wanted something that would last for a real long time. And it has! I'm still rocking this. It's actually OPI's version, which is all I've ever used. I haven't actually done the CND Shellac. I just call it all Shellac because it's easier. I'm not sure if any of that made sense to y'all, but yeah. So I picked OPI Big Apple Red. It IS Razorback RED! Perfect! And my nails looked perfect while calling the Hogs! Although, I really don't want to talk about the outcome of that game... or the one after it... but we'll survive and bounce back! Of course if you follow me on Twitter, I'm constantly tweeting and retweeting Razorback stuff. ;)

My Razorback sock monkey was the perfect thing to hold for this picture. It's so cute! I have a ledge over my bed that holds all of my Razorback stuff. I took a picture of it, but I'm going to include that in a special post that I'm thinking up. Plus all my photos from the game, which are all on my Facebook page. I'm going to another game in October and I'm probably gonna get a lot more pictures then. So I guess I'll post all of that sometime in late October/early November. So anyway! I've been wearing this for a little over two weeks. It will probably have to come off soon because it's growing off. I'm not going to get a fill this time, too expensive PLUS they upped their price for Shellac on me! I was so surprised! It ended up being about $45 with a tip. Ew!

So y'all call the Hogs today as they take on Rutgers in Fayetteville! I'll be faithfully watching & calling! :)

A Look at My Collection: Reds

Today I wanted to show y'all my collection of reds. I've said before that I don't have that many reds, and I find that weird because it's my favorite color. Right now I have 13 in my collection. Not even enough to fill up a whole nail wheel! But that's okay. I like the reds I have and I know I'm going to wear them a lot this fall. :)

1. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Red Carpet

2. Chi: He's Chi-ting On Me

3. Sinful Colors: Sugar Sugar

4. Savvy by Femme Couture: Shimmer Time

5. Borghese: Venetian Red

6. Wet n Wild: Burgundy Frost

7. Essie: Rock Star Skinny

8. NYC: 211 A

9. Ulta: Steppin Out

10. OPI: Chick Flick Cherry

11. Sally Hansen Salon: Hollywood Scarlet

12. Wet n Wild: Red Red

13. Wet n Wild: Crazed

So that's my collection! Like I said, red is my favorite color and I really like to wear it on my nails. But, I'm not a big fan of the staining that reds *always* leave behind. It feels like no matter what you do, or how careful you are... you will still get horrible stains. Do any of y'all have any tips or tricks for removing red polish? Do y'all like to wear red? What's your favorite color to wear on your nails?

Thanks for reading! :)
