Put your pedal to the medal because these nail polishes rank big this summer.  Think about racy shades in rubberized textures.  SinfulColors introduces its Full Throttle collection this summer with a starting lineup of five smoking hot hues that'll put your nail into overdrive  The ramped-up texturized shades range from radiant red to a powerful punch of purple to a fiery orange. 

If you are looking for stunning nail polishes to add to your collection then slip into summer with these beautiful and luxurious new nail polishes from SinfulColors!  Each of the six new shades have a demi-matte finish with a silk like texture.  The colors are summery and bright and they're guarunteed to add a little sunshine to your style.  SinfulColors Silk & Satin collection features sultry blues, banana yellows, fruity coral and even a soft silver.

I swapped polishes with Kendra from Mommy, In Demand!  We actually had very similar taste in our polishes.  Kendra was super sweet in sending me not just a pretty polish but also a beautiful card and two manicure goodies!  The lotion smells amazing and the nail file came just in time...I needed a new one!

A couple months ago I co-hosted a nail polish swap along with a couple of awesome blog ladies and it went amazing!  I exchanged with a wonderful partner, got a great polish and met some really great ladies!  Recently, we started talking about doing another one...so we bring you the Spring Nail Polish Swap & Giveaway!  This is perfect for this time of year, everyone is in the mood for sandal shopping and to do that you need some cute painted nails. Plus what gal doesn't love getting a little present in the mail?  In addition to hosting the polish swap there will also be a giveaway!  The prize is pretty awesome so stay tuned!

I never win anything so I was completely flabbergasted when Mrs_AOK let me know that I had won her Nail Polish Giveaway from when we did our Nail Polish Swap a little while ago!

A couple of weeks ago I was asked by Mrs_AOK A Work in Progress if I wanted to join a few other bloggers in a nail polish and card swap, I was flattered and the idea sounded so cool!  I mean what gal doesn't love a new nail polish?

So the budget was $10 for the polish and card.  The wonderful partner I received was Karen from Karen's Soiree, her quote from Twitter is "Blogger, Party Planner and Styler, Momma and Wife. Obsessed with paper straws, mason jars and pom poms".  She's so sweet and we've gotten to know each other a little better so I knew I was in good hands!


Last week I received a package in the mail (yay, yay, YAY!) from Ms. Karen and I ripped it open!  There was a beautiful handwritten card and a GORGEOUS Merlot color from Cover Girl, definitely not a color I had in my collection but loved it!  This is going to be a great color for the fall which is perfect for me because I love being lighter and brighter in the summer and darker and more rich in the fall and winter!

I'm so thankful I was included in this and please check on Karen's site for her post about the polish I sent her (we were on the same wave length I think haha).



There is also a contest going on for Essie's Fall Collection (plus a goodie or two) from Mrs_AOK so be sure to check that out!

So I got my first ever Ipsy Glam Bag! This subscription is $10/month and has 4 little treats in it...this months theme was "Pretty in Pink".

1. Sation Nail Laquer in the shade "Love at First Byte" is a nude with a touch of peach in it. It seems very sheer from my test on paper since I have Gel polish one I don't want to ruin it. I'm sure I will use this as an in-between manicures nail color.
2. MICA Beauty Cosmetics Shimmer Powder in the shade "Earth", I'm assuming this can be a highlight, eyeshadow or blush type pigment, although I will probably only use it as a eyeshadow or blush. It's definitely shimmery but no real glitter in it. Seems like it will work well with a "no make up" make up look.
3. Big Sexy Hair POW Powder Play, this is a volumizing and texturizing powder to use on dry hair. I have fairly flat roots so this may be a nice try for me. I've never used any of their products before but they are very popular so next time I fully do my hair with blow drying and curls I will add some in and see if there's any "lift".
4. Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Blush in Sweet Cheeks. I actually just bought the Physicians Formula blush to get a "pink" blush but it seems more rosy so this pink is gorgeous! Tried it on my hand and it seems creamy with a little shimmer but a good amount of pigmentation plus the pink is so pretty! I'm very excited to try this, I've heard good things about this line from Sam Schuerman on YouTube.

There was a card for Generation Beauty code 60% off to a convention but I can't go but if you'd like the code let me know and I will post it! Also there are a couple discount cards for all the things listed about like 30% off Be A Bombshell plus a free eyeshadow that I will definitely be taking advantage of!!! :)
