Awwww, it’s a kitteh trifecta!

Ok I admit it. I am going insane not posting ANYTHING so I thought maybe a cool shot of a bowl full of Jelly Bellies would be a good choice.

Good morning/afternoon/evening.

This is a post some of you probably won’t like.

The picture above is very apt in reflecting how I am feeling right now. You see, I am at a crossroads when it comes to this blog. I love blogging mainly because I love to write and connect with people. However the amount swatching and picture editing that I have to do in order to keep this blog running is starting to get to me.

I literally have no life! I work a regular ‘ole job 5 days a week then swatch, edit and write all weekend long. I live and die by the sun. Ok slight exaggeration but you know what I mean.

I’m not one to do anything for long that I don’t care about, and I tend to be able to walk away from things fairly easily (it’s the restless Gemini in me). So before I throw in the towel, I am taking some much needed time off away from this blog and Twitter, to determine if my heart is still in Vampy Varnish. It might be a month or might be a couple months, I really don’t know. But I figured I better think this through carefully before I drop some more cashola on a new blog design!

Thanks to everyone for your support. You have all kept me going this long!

Yet another Monday to struggle through, let’s hope it goes FAST!

Today I’ve got Duri’s Paparazzi collection for summer 2010. I will be reviewing the spring Paparazzi collection tomorrow. I know I am doing these kind of backwards, but I am most excited about this one.

I’ve reviewed many Duri colors in the past and found that I like the vast majority of them. They have a lot of colors that have the ‘lit from within’ thing going on, and I love that.

The colors in this collection don’t seem like typical summer colors, but that’s fine with me because most of them are very unique and gorgeous!

Tabloid Rumors

Tabloid Rumors is a steel grey with pink, yellow, green and blue shimmer. I thought this was going to be a plain old steel grey shimmer when I saw the bottle, but I was very pleased that it wasn’t. I think this is a really unique grey and I love it. This was two coats.
