today has been a great day for me; this morning, i went to the school bookstore to sell my books since my online English class ended & i ended up dropping my History class - long story. i made $58 extra bucks. ^^ i headed to my Politics class to find out that class was canceled for the day. heck-freakin-yes!! i then raced over to the new Ulta that opened by my house & bought a few polishes. plus i went over to my favorite nail supply store - Skyline - and bought some more polishes. and now im eating a delicious bowl of curry while typing this :)
i havent had any major hauls recently but i've done a few swaps so i wanted to share those. starting with swaps..
this one is super overdue and this was also my first swap. toward the end of August, i posted about how much i wanted Catrice polishes & if anyone was willing to swap with me... an awesome reader - Hannah, from Germany, emailed me & we put a swap together. i got this package last month yet i havent posted til now. here are my first 5 Catrice polishes;
I Scream Peach!,
I Sea You!,
Sold Out For Ever,
Plum Play With Me, &

wheph! that took a LOT out of me! =X sad to say, i think i've only tried 3 polishes out of all of those posted above. i probably wont do swatches because i hate swatching. major props to all of you ladies who do swatches because i just cant stand swatching. its a dreadful thought so i avoid it.
onto todays mani, its just something simple.
i've got the blues - just kidding =P i used two coats of each polish: Sally Hansen
White On, Avon
Vintage Blue, China Glaze
Bahamian Escape, OPI
Ogre-The-Top Blue, & Studio M
Get The Blues. i freakin love Get The Blues!
my cousins Homecoming was two weekends ago & i did her nails. shes all about simplicity so she just wanted a regular french tip mani but i was able to convince her to add glitter lines & rhinestones.
wow! this post was longer than i expected! i'll end it here!
have a great one!,
