I know Valentine's Day was yesterday, but I wanted to hare my 365 Days of Color Valentine's Day Surprise Bag with you! I ordered the bag as a pick-me-up and I am so happy I did! There are still some available here.

These can be worn as regular rings or knuckle rings :) As usual, this is a FREE SHIPPING ITEM!"

The bag contained sweethearts, a jelly bracelet, 2 rosette rings, a full sized bottle of LE Crush on You, a sample size cuticle oil in amber romance and a full size balm in Dark Kiss!

Priti NYC: Orient Express

Tonight I have the Priti NYC Orient Express Collection! This collection hits home for me because it was inspired by various sites in Europe! I love the collection and can't wait for you all to see the pretties!

butter LONDON Sweetie Shop!

Tonight I have a few polishes from butter LONDON's Sweetie Shoppe Collection!  The collection is described as follows" Straight from the catwalks, the inspiration for the Sping/Summer 2013 collection emerged from the charming colours and silhouettes of the 50’s-inspired femme fatale. Shades influenced by the soft pastels of cotton candy, milkshakes and macaroons enhance the playful feminine edge.  A brilliant sherbet, luxe lemon and peppy violet are paired with an icy mint, rich candy pink and creamy khaki for a statement that’s sweet but chic.  “Pops of pastels are iconic for spring and look like candy on the nails,” says Katie Hughes, Global Colour Ambassador for butter LONDON."
