Nail Mail and NOTD "boy-girl order"

Yesterday I received some nail mail from Jenna! I'm only showing half of what I got because the others will be revealed in an upcoming post.  ;) Thank you so much Jenna! I really like all of them!

Last night I used two of them. That's why I love accent nails, when I don't know which color to choose I just use two polishes! :) No matter what Sasha from Bunheads thinks.

So I decided to use two of my favorite colors pink and (baby) blue. I dubbed this manicure "boy-girl order" because it reminds me of elementary school. When our class was too talkative our teacher would make us walk and sit in boy-girl order. I distinctively remember one year boys out numbering the girls, so the teacher made us sit boy-boy-girl at lunch. I don't think us girls were too fond of it at that age.

The unmarked blue is from Bootie Babe. After checking out the site, I think it's called "Coolio Azulio". I look forward to wearing this under Sinful Colors Cinderella.

The pink is WnW Candy-licious. What a gorgeous pink it is!

Then I pulled out my Revlon Whimsical. It pairs perfectly with my "boy-girl order" manicure.

I forgot to use a top coat last night so I awoke to horrible sheet marks. I topped it off with Dare to Wear Chi Chi to disguise the sheet marks. (Thanks again Cordia!)

Mail Time!!!

 Pardon the pictures, they are from my phone because my camera was dead. I got a package in the mail today from the lovely Chelsea. She found Pinkerbell for me and also sent me an early birthday present. I couldn't bare waiting a whole month to open the polish, so I opened it today and it was China Glaze White Cap!! I'm so excited!! Thank you so much Chelsea!!!

Now for my current nails, it involves a lot of layering. First I had 3 coats of 10 I pinky Promise topped with 1 coat of essie pink-a-boo. I just wanted something soft and neutral for the day. Then once I got my package in the mail, I wanted to play but didn't know what to do. I ended up sponging on essie lilacism and OPI planks a lot and waited for it to dry. Then I added 1 coat of White Cap. I can't stop staring at it. My nails might be a distraction at work for me tomorrow. hehe

Nail Mail: Swap Goodies

 Last month, I did a swap with my twitter friend Mallory. There were a few Sinful Colors that she wanted that she didn't have access to so we decided to do a swap. Here are the lovely polishes she sent me. Island Girl  is a new brand to me and I don't have access to it but now I wish I did. I've already had a chance to play with all the pretties but haven't actually swatched them just for blog pictures, so be on the lookout for those. Two of these pretties look similar to the Zoya fleck effects, that I've crossed them off my wishlist.

From left to right: Aloha Surf, Island Volcano, Mahalo Dream, Island Sunset and Island Color.

Thank you so much Mallory! It was fun swapping with you!

Dec 8 - nail mail

Earlier this year (Feb), I had a very touch decision and that was to decide what polish and makeup to leave behind at my dads. Since summer, my sister has been gathering a few of my items at a time and then my aunt would send them to me. I was mostly concerned about getting all my polish, I just had to wait and that took forever.Then on Dec 8, I was finally reconnected with the last bit of polish and makeup that was left behind.

Welcome back my beauties!!!
