What's in my bag: January 2015

I've been in love with my new purse lately, 

so I figured I'd show you a little 

sneak peak as to what I typically carry in this beautiful bad boy.

First off, this is my new baby...

It's the Merona Satchel in green with a cross body strap 

and tortoise & gold hardware.

Love. Love. Love freaking love.

This color has been discontinued,

 but Target now offers it in a ton of colors.

I'm tempted to buy the hot pink mini version.

Without further blabbing..

Keys with a ridiculous amount of keychains 

& vineyard vines lanyard

Phone charger

Kate Spade Agenda, monogrammed of course

"Sorry I'm Not Sorry" ID holder

Kate Spade card holder 

Fake RayBans from Cotton on

Halloween hand sanitizer from B&BW

Fake Rayban flashbans from Burlington

Simply Southern mason jar coozie

Kate Spade Patent Leather wallet

No7 mineral setting spray

Grossly old Victoria's secret lipgloss

Mad about you body spray from B&BW

Scrunchies & a claw clip

EOS lipbalm stick

NYX HD concealer

Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange lotion

and towards the bottom of my bag

 is normally an obscene amount

 of pens I've stolen after I close my tab, 

mechanical pencils,

spare change, 

and receipts from things I shouldn't have spent money on.

What's in your junk holder?

Xo,

Polished.

Nail Polish Haul : Urban Outfitters 

From left to right:

Bright lights: Sheer gray toned polish with round multicolored large glitter

Tiny Shirt: A neon bubblegum pink

Scorcher: A clear polish with large multicolored glitter and fine silver glitter

Sunshine: Bright, sunny yellow

The best part about buying these? Since it's the end of the season, it's out with the old and in with the new for most stores...so I purchased all four of these polishes for $1. They're normally $5 each. 

Winning.

Have a good week everyone!

Until then,

 A little multi colored glitter never killed anyone.

NOTD: On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink.

Nail of the Day: Essie Figi

Because on Wednesdays, we wear pink.

Forgive the really terrible picture. It's finals week and as I'm posting this I really should be studying for my fashion history final on the 1920's-1970's.

Anyway...

I am so in love with this color. I initally only purchased it because I had heard so many rave reviews from not only gurus, and bloggers, but also some of my close friends. I'm more of a dark nail kind of girl, but this color looks so good. Your hands look clean and fresh. It's deffinitly a staple polish to add to your collection.

The only thing I dislike about this polish is the fact that you need a couple of coats to really get the true color from it. It tends to be a bit streaky with one and two coats. I didn't use a base, though, so that might help stop the streaking.

This color is perfect for spring and summer, and I think it would look amazing on tan skin!

                                                      Here's a better picture, from google.

Typically Essie nail polishes sell for about $8-$9. If you have an Ulta by you though, you can use your coupons on these polishes! Just a little FYI.

Hope you all are having a good week, and if you're taking finals, my heart is with you.

Best of luck everyone!

Until then,

-K.

Nail of the Day

April 20, 2013

Totally loving this light wash denim colored nail polish from Ulta's Salon Formula Line.

I've had this one for a while, but just recently fell head over heels for it.

I know, it's not your typical pink, or red, but it's so cute!

And perfect for spring, may I add.

What are your favorite non conventional nail colors?

Do you dare go dark in the spring, or do you stick to pastels and pinks?

Comment below and let me know!

Until then,

Vodka and caviar.

Hello again, 

I have this really bad addiction. I've had it for a while, and here I am, finally...explaining myself. I do this thing where I decide my collection isn't large enough, and spontaneously buy ridiculous amounts of nail polish. High end, drug store, doesn't matter to me. I can't help myself. I just can't, okay? Don't judge.

Hey, an addiction could be a lot worse. I could be drinking it or something...hey..then I could be on the TLC show my strange addictions..but then again I'd be dead...

ANYWAY...

Even though I have an absurd amount of polish, there is one that I always fall back on. My old reliable. Old faithful. Every girl needs a classic, staple red polish in their collection.
Mine happens to be OPI Vodka and Caviar. It is legitimately the most perfect red. Not too orange, not too blue. I can wear it year round, and it never gets old. I'm onto my third bottle. Once again, don't judge.

OPI can be a little bit pricey, but for a staple product like this, I'd invest a bit more. It's an everyday, school, work, formal occasion, appropriate polish. It works with any outfit, and it looks nice on any skin tone.
OPI in the US is typically around $8 dollars depending on where you buy it. 

Here's a tip. If your bottle is getting a little bit low, and you really want to use every last drop like I do, take a little tiny bit of acetone based nail polish remover and add it to the bottle. Shake it well, and presto, good as new. 

What's your favorite polish? Do you have a staple color that you turn to? 
Let me know!
Until then, 
-K.
