My Obsession. I mean, Hobby!

For the past few months, my interest in nail polish has gone from not really thinking about it, to it now being a dilemma of what color I am going to wear that day!! And mind you, it doesn't help that I easily have over 200 nail polishes!

Obsessed much?

I think not!

Or could I be in denial?

Well, nonetheless, I shriek at a new color that's come out, or even at a color I have never seen before!

But, what really surprises me is the difference in how my nails look now, as opposed to when I first started! While I was looking at older Instagram pictures, I thought to myself, "Oh my goodness, I can't believe I posted that!"

I have TONS of nail pictures I want to share, but I don't even know where to begin!  So, I decided I am going to start by posting the more recent nail polish purchase I made, which is also one of the current ones out right now. I only have three of the six in this collection because I have similar colors of the other ones.

Let me start out by saying that Zoya is probably my most favorite brand of polish! Their formula has been the most consistent by far, and all the colors are gorgeous!!! I get excited just thinking about it!!


So, with that said, this one is called Marney, however on the website, it's spelled "Marnie." It's a beautiful plum/mauve tone, and it goes on like butter!! It's gorgeous on, and you only need two coats. I could stare at my nails all day!

This one is called Emilia, and it's a dark chocolate brown!!!! Oh my gosh...I love every shade of brown, but this is one of my favorites by far!!! Perfect in every way!

Finally, here we have Aubrey. A little similar to the first, but I think it has a little more pink to it. Another one I couldn't stop looking at! IT'S JUST THAT NICE!

I guess what I'll do is just post my nail pictures randomly (not every other day like I do on Instagram)! And I also want to point out that I'm not being paid by any companies for my reviews. This is just something I love to do!!

MANICURE, SHOPPING & A MOVIE

Last Thursday, I had plans for my oldest daughter and I to have some quality one on one time. It's always such a blessing for me to be able to spend undistracted time with each of my kids.

Our plan was to go to the mall (what else does a tween girl like to do besides that), get her nails done (a French manicure to be specific), find a top for her to wear on Sunday (because she was singing in choir at church that weekend), and then to go to the movies.

She has been wanting a French manicure for awhile now, and I was going to get one too, but there was only one lady working at the time. But, that was okay. I got to take pictures of her!

Soak those hands, girl!

Makes me think of those old Palmolive commercials.

Doesn't she look EXCITED???

She loved it! So did I. I think they came out great!

We had about an hour to spare at the mall before our movie started, and she was able to pick out a couple of things she liked for Sunday. The closest mall to us is an outlet mall, so we always find great deals at Tilly's and Papaya.

Now came movie time!! My favorite part!

Well, if it was up to me, we'd watch Invictus. I'm totally into those kinds of movies. But, she kept insisting that we see "Everybody's Fine" with Robert De Niro. She was saying it was funny because she saw the previews. So did I, but I didn't think much of it. Anyway, I gave up, and we ended up seeing that movie.

Now, I'm not going to spoil the movie for any of you, but let me just say that it is FAR FROM FUNNY! There was some language in it that really did not have to be in there, but in terms of an emotional movie, this takes the cake. See this movie with your girlfriends, or even your better half. Not your kids. This will just go over their heads. When it comes out on DVD, I will definitely buy it!

Overall, we had a great night together! My daughter loves "quality time" and we really get to connect when it's just her and I.
