Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy commercially-created-pretty-pointless-holiday-that-usually-causes-more-pain-than-pleasure Day, my lovelies!

I kid, I kid. I have nothing against Valentine's Day, but it's not really anything special either. So this year, guess who's my valentine? YOU! Yes you, all you beautiful people, I love you so much.

Here, I made you a Valentine!


I didn't want to do anything too pink or gross for today so I decided this was appropriate without being ew.

If you want to know about specific colors, feel free to ask!

And now, as I bid you adieu, I leave you with a bunch of CUTE.

Guest Post - A Polished Touch

Today's guest post is from a wonderful lady who I am glad to call my blogging friend! She was even awesome enough to send me some really great polishes when I couldn't find them myself (thank-you post hopefully forthcoming, I also have another lovely lady who is doing a guest post on Friday to thank!)

Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox and hand the mic over to A Polished Touch.


"To start I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Laura for having me on her blog today. This is my first guest post and I'm so happy that it's for Laura! *insert a multitude of compliments and lovin's here* ;)
 
I asked if it would be all right if I continued my Blue Monday mani's here and she quickly agreed (being a blue polish lover herself), so for those who wear blue on Monday and for those who carry a special love for blue in their hearts, this is for you.





Polishes used:
Base - OPI What's With The Cattitude (3 coats)
Silver - Wet'n'Wild Silvivor (sponged 2 coats)
Glitter - Revlon Sparkle (1 coat layered over Silvivor)

I took a foundation sponge and cut up little pieces, used my tweezers to hold it and then sponged the silver onto the tip of the nail, aiming for a more opaque look at the very tip and lessening the amount of silver as I went down the nail. I took Revlon Sparkle and lightly applied it on top of Silvivor and brought it down just passed where it ended to elongate the gradient effect.

I don't usually do too many mani's that have any sort of detailing on them but lately I have been practising and thought this would be a fun one to share. This "sponged"/gradient style mani is very easy to do and makes it look like you've got a creative flair. (Even when you might not, ha.)

Thanks for having me Laura and Laura's followers - I loved being here and sharing my mani with you.

Have a great Monday!"
 
 
Yay, blue! I tried the Blue Monday thing a grand total of once and then promptly forgot all about it because I am terrible at remembering to do things. But if you pop on over and FOLLOW A POLISHED TOUCH, then you will be treated to not only Blue Mondays but also the widespread Pink Wednesdays. She has a lovely blog and I thank her for this wonderful post!

Tags because I'm too lazy to do a real post

More tags guys! Isn't this so much fun? Ugh I have not written a buttload of posts like I hoped I would, I've had this cold all weekend and it is just making me ornery. So instead of a nail post I will bring you more tags because recently I was tagged by A Polished Touch for the Butterfly Award and Lovely Blog award. No I'm not going to put the pictures on here because does anyone really care? Sorry, I told you this cold was making me ornery.

So first up, we have the Lovely Blog Award which beseeches me to inundate you with yet more useless facts about myself. Well you ask, and I deliver!

1. At this very moment, due to the cold, I sound like Marcel the Shell. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go watch it now because it's literally the cutest thing ever.

2. I just made these earlier today except with the addition of butterscoth chips. Yeah, they're freakin' delicious.

3. I don't believe in horoscopes but I love reading about zodiac signs.

4. I have a lot of jewelry but I rarely wear it.

5. I have a little freckle right above my lip that I forget about because I swear it disappears sometimes and then I see it and I think it's dirt. It's kind of annoying.

6. I named my laptop Veronica.

7. So I just had myself a mini Ryan Gosling marathon. I watched Drive and Ides of March. Drive was... well let's just say that if you cut out every scene where someone was spurting blood then you'd have a really short movie. I probably have about an average tolerance for gore, and this was definitely too much. I appreciate some tasteful blood splatters and severed horse heads as much as the next girl, but you have to leave some things to the imagination. I love you, Ryan, but I really don't want to watch you smash some guy's skull in like it's an eggshell (yeah, it's gross). Ides of March was better, not my favorite movie and I probably wouldn't watch it again, but it was blood-free so I was pretty pleased with that.

Aaand now the Butterfly Award, which luckily has questions so I don't have to rack my brain for more nonsense! (I've probably answered these questions a million times before so I'll try to think of some new answers)

What's your favorite song?
Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley.

What's your favorite dessert?
Kentucky Derby Pie. You're welcome.

Who's your favorite pet?
I can't pick!

Black or white?
White.

What's your biggest fear?
Zombies. People think I'm joking when I say that, but I am dead serious.

What's your best feature?
Ummm well. Physically I really like my eyes (they're a dusty blue) and personality-wise... I am very ambitious.

What's your everyday attitude?
Well if you ask people who are around me every day they'll probably tell you I'm pretty negative. I don't feel that I'm very negative, but I think I tend to express my pessimistic thoughts more than my optomistic ones. So I'm trying to work on that.

What is perfection?
Not having a stupid cold...

What is your guilty pleasure?
Hmm... wow I am completely blank right now. I guess I don't really have a guilty conscience or something!

All right then! Thank you to A Polished Touch for tagging me. :) Now you all know even MORE about me. So tell me something about you!
