EVE COSMETICS - #60 SWATCH

This nail polish I got from Inbal of 20 Drops of Color. Isn't it pretty? It is a pinkish red JELLY with gold glitter. This color is just so pretty, I didn't want to take it off. I took several pictures in different lights to try and show this color off.

The polish is by Eve Cosmetics and it is labeled as #60. I think this might be only available in Israel where Inbal is from, but I'm not positive, so don't quote me on that!

Thank you Inbal!!

NOT YOUR GRANDPA'S HOUNDSTOOTH

Bright and in yo' face - just the way I like my mani's!! I can't find a single thing wrong with this mani (other than my pinky nail I fudged up on). I love the color combo. The base is Essie - Pink Parka layered with Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds. Then I used Sally Hansen in a bright Orange to do the stamps with. I just love this, and in the sun you can see the sparkles from the Wet Shine Diamonds shining through the orange konad stamp - just perfect.

While I'm on this bright kick, I have a really REALLY bright mani planned for tomorrow - so bring your sunglasses :)













LITTLE'S THANKSGIVING FEAST

I told you all I had a short day yesterday, I left to go to Little's Thanksgiving program his class was doing. They were singing songs and reciting poems, finished off with a Thanksgiving feast. It was really good. The high light had to be one song they sang about eating turkey. They were singing they ate "a whole lot of turkey" only it sounded like "a-hole" - Me and my mom had to do a double take, like what did they just say? Lol, it was pretty funny.

Later I took him to Dollar Tree with me and I let him pick out one thing, of course he picked the gun. As we were leaving he told me it was the best day in whole life - because he had his party at school and because of his new gun. Wow, it doesn't take much for kids, does it?








After all the singing, it was time for feasting:


This cracked me up! For some reason Little has a hard time opening up things (i.e. he just gives up) so I happened to catch him handing his cookies across the table to this little girl so she could open them up for him.




Oh look, he eats just like his mom!




Boy, I wish he wasn't so camera shy!



Look who I caught at the teachers desk! It's my mom and Ollie!


One last thing about Little, last Friday we were in the car and the song Celebrate Christmas came on and he absolutely ROCKED OUT to it! I was afraid I was going to get hit by a flying arm while I was driving. So here is Celebrate Christmas for YOU to rock out to!

LMAO!!

I got an email from Rescue Beauty Lounge with a subject of For VIP's Only - Save up to 40% OFF. So I'm thinking, wow, Ji finally got with the recession and is going to offer her ridiculously priced nail polish at a more affordable price - COOOOOL! Wrong, when I read the email I just had to crack up! I will post the whole thing, but I want to point out my favorite line in the whole thing:

And if you're a real Rescue addict, consider this—get a gift card good for $2,000 worth of services for a scant $1,200. That’s like getting a 40% Bonus this holiday season—can your boss match that? Didn't think so!

LAMO - scant, you say? In whose world is $1200 scant? lol, thanks for the good laughs, Ji, really! And she does even use the recession as her reason for offering these "ridiculously low" prices. . . . . blank stare and a couple of blink blinks added.
Anyway, for those of you interested here is what the rest of her skit, I mean email said:



We're having our own "Black Friday" sale this season and
you won't have to wake up at 4:00 a.m. to take advantage of it.

For one week only, you can save:

20% off 6 Signature Mani/Pedis for just $401.28*

or a whopping 35% off 12 Custom Facials for $1,018.91

And if you're a real Rescue addict, consider this—get a gift card good for $2,000 worth of services for a scant $1,200. That’s like getting a 40% Bonus this holiday season—can your boss match that? Didn't think so!
Think of these savings as a way to recession-proof your beauty rituals for 2010. Or give your Mom, sister or BFF what will hands-down be their favorite present this season. You can even email us or leave a message in "customer comments" on your online order form and we’ll create 6 or 12 individual gift certificates for you to give your friends. Poof!

As ever,
Ji

Oh that Ji, she can always crack me up!

ICY PINK

Icy is the best descriptive word for this mani. The base color is Essie - Pink Parka. I then layered Maybelline - Wet Shine Diamonds over the top. I love how this turned out! It is super shiny and bright, and it really does look like it is wet shiny.




(Left blurred to show how wet and shiny this looks!)








I added some konad to this and will show you my NOTD with this in an upcoming post.

Ricco and Ollie - having a little bonding time!




Look at all the fog we had this morning!!! That is a big drop off of the highway on the right side, but you wouldn't be able to tell in all that fog!








This little guy was killing it with these poses! Dinky, our resident Queen of Poses, had a little competition - I think we need a pose-off, STAT!!
