Shockingly Pretty

So the other day, I made my first big girl nail polish purchase. Since I'm super sad to see my money leave me, I've always been a drug store brand kind of girl. Well, I have this pair of thrifted (brand new) NEON pink fishnets that I knew I simply had to wear to an upcoming No Doubt concert. I loved the color and really wanted nail polish to match. I decided Ulta would be the best place to look and lo and behold, they had the perfect shade: Shocking Pink by China Glaze!








I'm excited to see how the "fancier" polishes compare. I had a really hard time making this color streak free (I put on 4 coats!) but I think it's due to the fluorescent shade. I won't dismiss China Glaze until I've tried a more normal color. Others seem to love the brand so there must be something to it!

Up next: No Doubt concert pictures!

Grand Opening

BONJOUR blogosphere!

I've been wanting to get a new blog up and running for quite some time, and I decided now is the time.

I've been inspired by all the cute fashion blogs out there and loved the idea of having a place to show off my fabulous bargain finds and vent my excitement when spotting a celeb on the streets, etc. My poor mother can only handle my idle blabber for so long. ;)

Anyway, this blog will be a fun little venture for me. I look forward to finding and following some of the awesome blogs you guys have going already. Thanks for the inspiration (especially my friend Kate)!
