Quick VV Update

Hi VV Aficianados!
I just wanted to drop a quick line to let you know that because of all you, my wonderful fans, VV will be under construction for a little bit. Yep, I’m gettin’ so much traffic that GoDaddy is having a hard time keeping my site running smoothly! I will be switching to another [...]

Weekly Poll

1. How has your week been so far? Pretty decent. Especially now because I’m off work until Monday!
2. What’s on your nails? I’m currently wearing Nubar Chocolate Caramel, but might change it out today to some fabulous, dark, shimmery brown…
3. What are you doing for Thanksgiving, if anything?  My in-laws are here and my mother-in-law [...]

The Most Spectacular Bridge in the US of A

I heart the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s kinda funny, because I have pretty much always taken it for granted until recently.
I grew up in Berkeley and had a perfect view of it (that is unless it was covered with fog which is was about 75% of the time) until I moved from that house at [...]

Baby Goats

Awwww baby goats! I took this pic last summer when I went up to Calistoga, which is in wine country. We were actually there to see the Old Faithful Geyser, but they also had a petting zoo.
Disclaimer: I am not a fan of zoo’s, circuses or animals being kept in captivity for human amusement. In [...]

Pacific Heights Garden

Isn’t this gorgeous? This was taken last summer when I went to Pacific Heights in SF. In case you aren’t from around here, Pacific Heights is a really ritzy area in the hills of SF. This is where a lot of old money lives and famous people live/have lived, such as: Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Lars [...]

Beetle Bailey

Isn’t this beetle pretty? I’m not into bugs, in fact I find 99.9% of them creepy, especially up close, but this one has such nice colors! I took this pic at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. I think I want a nail polish the color of that green, haha!

Sally Hansen Special Edition Glitter Nail Polish Swatches and Review

Edit: It has since been discovered that this collection isn’t new (according to a few readers) but old, and possibly from the 90’s! That does explain a lot, LOL. Thanks all!
Dobri ranok (good morning in Ukrainian)!
Sally Hansen released some special edition glitters recently, and one of my readers was nice enough to send them to [...]

China Glaze Out On Safari Swatches

Happy weekend!
Today I have a color that was my #1 lemming for over a year, China Glaze Out On Safari. I couldn’t find this long discontinued color anywhere online, not even on eBay for an insane amount of money. But one day not too long ago, I was looking at nail pics on Flickr,and came [...]

Borghese Allegra Swatches & Review from Guest Blogger Lacquer Laine

Morning all!
Today I have a guest post from blogger Lacquer Laine. Check out her swatches and review!
You know those nail polishes you see in the drugstore with the exotic name, interesting trapezoidal bottle, and a hefty price tag? Borghese? I have never, ever bought one! You know why? I haven’t because I have never, ever [...]
