Taking the plunge, FINALLY!

It all started just about a year ago when my best friend, Missy, sent me a link on my facebook to show me some awesome nail art she found on a blog. She knew that I have always loved nail polish. Little did she know, though, that sending me that link would send me into a tail spin of obssession <3 The rest of that day I searched countless nail blogs and looked at millions of pictures. I thought to myself one day I'll start a blog of my own!

Fast forward a few months and I found myself in touch with Maria of Cult Nails, after I found out that she lived only about 20 minutes away from me! She was putting together a nail polish blogger meetup for Central Florida bloggers. I happened to comment on her post and say how I wish I was a blogger, so that I could go.  She replied with "Come anyways!" I swear I almost died. After going to that meetup and meeting everyone there who had such great blogs, I wanted to start one even more!

Why didn't you just make a blog, you ask? Well, I am a full-time college student that also works part-time, so I just couldn't see myself finding the proper time for one.

Fast forward a few more months to this past Saturday when I attended another fabulous blogger meetup. While there Brittany, from Clumps of Mascara, said to me "You still need to make a blog!" I thought to myself...I really do just need to do it already, nail polish and reading blogs are all I think about anyways!

SO, here I am and I couldn't be more excited :) My wonderful Mom is the one who helped me name this blog, so that makes it even more special<3

Now that we basically have my life story out of the way, I'll leave you with what you're really here for...NAIL POLISH!



I was one of the lucky few that was able to order Cult Nail's Unicorn Puke AKA Clairvoyant. I did this combo back in November. I layered Unicorn Puke over this subtle holo, Petites Black Diamond.



In my next post I will talk more in detail about the AMAZING blogger meetup from this past Saturday <3

Thanks for reading! :)
