"We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy; we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that’ll fix everything. But happiness is a mood, and it’s a condition, not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry, it’s not permanent. It comes and goes, and that’s okay."

NOTW: Holiday Gift Wrapping Glitter Cheer

butterLondon Knees Up: Although the polish is pretty much
opaque in one coat I decided to apply two coats!

Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday: "One Coat" but I mostly just
dabbed here and there since  I didn't want the glitter to overwhelm the nail look.

This combination reminds me of gift wrapping for Christmas presents!

NOTW: butterLondon British Racing Green

I got a new camera! Even though it's only a point and shoot, hopefully I can take better quality pictures instead of relying on instagram. Enjoy the post!

butterLondon - British Racing Green


Although the shimmer is apparent under the light, on the nail
the polish only looks glossy with little to no trace of shimmer.

Opaque in two coats!

Revlon Colorstay Nail Polish in Spanish Moss

Nail Color: 1 Coat Revlon Spanish Moss (w/ a few touch ups)
I picked up this polish after seeing one of Ingrid's (aka Missglamorazzi) "Get Ready With Me" YouTube videos. Once I saw the color I was hooked and immediately went to DuaneReade (~$8.50 USD) to pick it up. When I got there I had trouble choosing between Revlon's Spanish Moss and Essie's Sew Psyched. Both shades are very similar and are definitely good dupes for each other. I ultimately went with Revlon's Spanish Moss because it was noticeably more opaque. Although there is less product contained in the Revlon polish, I knew that Spanish Moss would be a better purchase since it requires less coats per manicure. This polish is an amazing fall color! Definitely a must have!

Base Coat: Nailtiques Nail Protein Formula 2 Plus
and  Butter London Nail Foundation
Top Coat: Butter London Hardwear
