OPI Mariah Carey Can't Let Go

Happy Tuesday my polished pretties!! So sorry for not posting yesterday, but time just got away from me. What's that saying...a day late and a dollar short?

The polish I have for you today is one of the new liquid sand polishes from the Mariah Carey OPI collection. I've had a long standing love for Mariah Carey. One of my all time favorite songs is "Fantasy"! That was my jam back in '95 when I was all of 5 years old. Anyway, the name of the polish is called Can't Let Go and is a purple matte with some glitter that shines through. They definitely got it right when calling it liquid sand because that's exactly what I think of when I see the finish on this polish!

Enough chatter, on to what you came for: the swatches!!

OPI Euro Centrale Collection Swaches

Happy Saturday, polished pretties!! I was running to my normal beauty supply on my lunch break to get the Mariah Carey OPI collection (which I should have swatches up on Monday of those beauties!) and I noticed that they had a display of the upcoming Euro Centrale collection that's coming out in the Spring. This is another collection that has made me do grabby hands ever since I saw the promo pics that came out a while ago.

Zoya 3 Free Sale

Two posts in one day! Aren't you guys lucky today!! Anyway, reason for my second post is because there is an EPIC (yes all caps!) EPIC sale going on at Zoya.com. Check out the info below!

I can't even handle the OMG-ness of it all!!

The ad says that it starts on Monday 1/7, but I've been seeing people placing their orders now in Instagram and getting the $10 price. So, I would try to order it now because I have a feeling that if you wait until Monday, you may be out of luck on a color you really want. 

What polishes are you going to order? Or do you have a list (like me) that you have to try and narrow down?

OPI Nicki Minaj Collection

Hello polished pretties!! So this is my first official nail polish post! Like I said in the previous entry, this is the first collection that made me start to collect seriously and began my involvement in the nail polish blogging world by looking for swatches. With that being said, I haven't worn this collection really at all since I got it, save for Fly a couple of times and maybe Metallic 4 Life once. Strange how that works out sometimes...

Read on for the reviews and swatches of the collection!

A Little Bit About Me

Good morning, polished pretties! I thought I would give you guys a little bit of intro post to me and give you a bit of background info on me. My name is Jessica, but I pretty much answer to anything. I'm currently 23 years old and living in New Jersey. I'm a nursing student and I also work at Lowe's, which is hectic, but I like it (for the most part lol)

I've been collecting nail polish only seriously starting this year, but I've always had a love for it. I used to pick up a bottle here and there and mostly pinks and reds. The first collection that had me rushing off to the beauty supply place was the Nicki Minaj OPI collection that came out at the beginning of this last year. (Can't believe it's 2013!!) So I suppose that would be a fitting first post to do for this blog. I'll be swatching today provided the weather is cooperative and I should have that post up either later today, or tomorrow. I've also been reading nail polish blogs since the beginning of last year as well, and after looking at all the nail polish I have bought this year, I figured I might as well blog about it and put it to good use, other than just showing my friends.

Other than nail polish, I love music, books, tv, and anything 90's related. I also love anything involving Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Lady Gaga (who I'm going to go see in February at Madison Square Garden in NYC!), and Tupac Shakur. I'm always trying to learn everything I can about these people and just trying to broaden my horizons in general.

So there's the basic bit of info on me and what I'm into. Keep checking back for my first nail polish post!

XOXO Jessica
