Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat vs Avon Mosaic Effects

When I did my post of Avon Mosaic Effects topcoat, someone commented about how it would look with Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat. Honestly, I had never heard of this before until then, but now I've decided to try it out to see how they compare to each other. Of course, another reason I wanted to try the Crackle was that it was from one of my favorite cosmetic/beauty brands, which I can always rely on for great quality products! Since I didn't have any blue nail polish, I decided to go with the Crackle Overcoat "Wave Break."

The Sunny Blogger

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive!! It feels like forever since I posted anything on my blog three months ago, or have even checked in on other my fellow bloggers! Part of the reason for my hiatus has been because of work (more on my not so great work-life balance skills in another post). Lately, I also haven't really been inspired to write about anything either. I mean, I've had tons of ideas for posts, I just haven't felt like writing. Now with the sun shining all over the place, the birds and squirrels out and about, and the warmer weather, I've been feeling like blowing the dust off the old blog and getting to work again. Apparently, I'm better at blogging in the Spring and Summer than in the Winter and Fall, which makes sense since it was in Spring and Summer when I started blogging seriously.

Sorry this wasn't some super long intensive post, but this is all I can think to write about for now!

Sally Hansen "Golden" Xtreme Wear Nail Polish

Way back in September, I decided to spice up my nail life a little by trying out some metallic nail polish. I decide to go with Sally Hansen "Golden" Xtreme Wear because I had already planned to wear a golden-metallicish cap sleeve dress that I had bought at Macy's for working at a career fair at work. Sally Hansen "Golden" is a great color that is subtly sparkly, which is great since I was looking for something that would "pop" without being too juvenile (most of the sparkly nail polishes out there remind me of the kind I used to wear in middle school). This polish also had the added benefit of containing Sally Hansen's super duper nail hardening formula. As usual, I put on a top coat, and the nail polish lasted for almost an entire week.

  

Masquerading

Scene from "The Phantom of the Opera"

If you could do anything you wanted, what would it be? For me, it would be to have a Masquerade Ball! I've always loved the colors, the styles, the creative masks and wigs, and, most of all, the Rococo gowns with corsets and overflowing cleavage! There is something undeniably luxurious, magical, and even provocative about masquerade balls that feeds your imagination and draws you in completely!

Boo: The World's Cutest Dog

Last month, my mom and I were browsing Amazon.com when I saw the cutest thing ever; Boo! Well, it was actually the plush version, but it was so cute that it made me buy it right on the spot! Not being a Facebooker, I had no idea what Boo was, so I looked him up and found this video (I know, I know: as usual I'm a little slow on the uptake). OMG, this dog is way too cute to be real! At first, I honesty thought he was fake because no dog should look like a stuffed animal, but I saw him moving on the video, so I thought he must be real. When my Boo arrived from Amazon, I almost hit the floor; the plush one looks exactly like the real one!! I stood him up on the floor and my mom came in actually thought he was a real dog! This is great because I was actually thinking of getting some kind of cute lap dog, but didn't want to go through the trouble of taking care of one (ok I admit it; I'm not a very responsible adult). Now, with my Boo, I can have the best of both worlds; the super, cute and cuddle small dog perfect for an apartment, but without all the pooping and having to take him out everyday!
