New Camera!

I have been wanting a new camera for a while now. I have a big fancy one, but hate using it for my NOTD shots. It's hard to balance in one hand hahaha. I have been wanting something small and simple for awhile now. I currently have to borrow a camera to do my NOTD's and I always feel bad. He doesn't mind, but it still bugs me and makes me feel bad. 

So here is my new camera ....... Tada :)

*SQUEEEEL* How gorgeous is this! The funny part is I was so happy it was purple before anything else lol. But outside of the fab purple, it's the top of line Canon Power Shot. I haven't gotten it yet (UPS is delivering it), but I'm sooooo excited about getting it.  My very own Purple Power Shot LOL!

Here's a Picture of the the one I was borrowing 

 

Doesn't this look like it belongs to a guy? HAHA.  I'm a girly girl and it's too 'generic' for me.  I know you guys can stop gagging now lol. Don't get me wrong it's a great camera and takes great pictures, but its super old and it's going to be so neat having my own now.  I'm sure you guys will know when it lands here - I will have a ton of pics when I get it.

Thanks for visiting and thanks for sharing in my happiness!

China Glaze Poolside Collection and Flip Flop Fantasy

Hi everyone! Today I got my China Glaze Poolside collection in the mail *doing a happy dance* :) I was so excited when I heard the UPS man ring my bell.  I literally went running, for cover that is -  I wasn't dressed LOL! If I don't answer he leaves it at the door and takes off, PHEW! 

I decided on Flip Flop Fantasy.  This color is beyond stunning.  It's a bright Neon Coral Pink - that is the best way I can describe it.  I'm in love with this color! The cool part about it, is depending on what light your in it changes.  It's pure love for me!

Now this is a neon and we all know that they don't photograph well at all.  I did my best, but it's impossible to capture the true beauty of it's SHOCKING brightness. These of course are not color accurate and its a bright neon.

I took the Above in Indirect Sunlight - Anything in direct Sun was not visible at all :)

The above was taken in Shade

And Below is the whole set!

Milani Digital

First I want to say hello and WELCOME to all my new followers, thank you for visiting and for all the kind comments that I have been receiving :)

Today I decided to take advantage of the sunlight that I finally got.  I wanted something soft and delicate but with a punch, and Milani Digital has delivered. This is two coats and I did not put a Top Coat on.  I heard Top Coats dull Holos, so I wanted to try without one first.

With this you have to search for the holo a little, but it's there if you look close enough.

I'm trying to improve my photo skills and hopefully you guys like these shots as much as my usual style.

Let me know if you guys like the new photo style lol.  Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Spring 2010 Collection and Swatches Galore

I visited a Kmart this past weekend and got my hands on the new Sally Hansen Spring Limited Edition Spring 2010 Collection...YIPEEEE :) I did some really quick and sloppy swatches and got lucky and got a little bit of sunlight for some of my pictures ...

Here are the first 4 bottles...

(Left to Right Above: Blue Blast #01, Sea Breeze #02, Spring Green #03, and Express-so Yellow #04)

The swatches above are in the same order and taken in sunlight.  These were all done in 2 coats, but both Blue Blast and Spring Green could have easily been one coaters.  The formula for these were awesome...EVEN THE YELLOW!! It was streaky the first coat, but smoothed out in coat 2.  This is probably the best yellow I have in my collection.  It was not thick and messy like yellows are typically of being. 

Above is taken in shade.

These colors looked so fun together in a skittle mani.

 Above Blue Blast

Above Sea Breeze

Above Spring Green

Above Expres-so Yellow

Okay now on to the next 4 bottles...

(Left to Right Above: Mango Motion #05, Pronto Petal #06, Rose Rush #07, and Urgent Orchid #08)

The Swatches above are in the same order and were taken in what little sunlight was left in late afternoon.  These were also all 2 coats and lovely formulas.  I loved all of them, but Mango Motion is gorgeous and my favorite!! It's so bright and pretty :)

The Above were taken in shade

Above Mango Motion (Check out how pretty!)

Above Pronto Petal (Barbie Pink?? lol)

Above Rose Rush

Above Urgent Orchid

I loved all of these.  I hope you enjoyed them too and if you can deal with the thicker brushes on these (which I personally love) run out and get these - They ROCK!! My favorite is Mango Motion and Spring Green.  Which do you like? Leave your thoughts in the comments - I love hearing what you all think.
