Peeps Bunnies Easter nails

I was going to wait to share this manicure on Easter, but I figured some of you would like a tutorial to rock this on Easter! Not to mention my birthday is Saturday so I'll be out and about, and I'm not sure what we're doing Sunday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!). SOOO I decided to show you early, mostly because I couldn't wait to share with you :] So jump over for more pictures and a short tutorial!

YOU POLISH: The STARjelly Collection

You Polish STARjelly Collection

Ello, there! Today I have swatches of You Polish's STARjelly Collection. I have a love/hate relationship with indie jelly polishes. No offense to anyone, but it doesn't seem like making jelly polishes is every maker's forte. Y'know? Since the first time I reviewed for You Polish (then Makeup Your Face) last summer, until today - her jelly polish formulas have been on point. I was super excited to try these out! Jump over and check out the swatches and review, they're pretty great!

Polish Addict The Wizard Of Oz Collection

(that's the coffee again) I have to give it to Laura, these are very pretty and unique polishes. I even told her she entirely blew OPI's collection out of the water and these where the best quality polishes I've reviewed for her yet. I'm very impressed. And I'm not easily impressed (I don't think). SO without further adieu (aka me bouncing off the walls), let's get at it!

DELUSH POLISH: Lady Sybiling, Unlucky Edith and The Matriarch

Delush Polish (L->R) Lady Sybiling, Unlucky Edith, The Matriarch

Also, as you may of heard, or not of heard, there has been a notice given that the Google Friend Connect feed will be shutdown. I personally use that feed a LOT to stay up to date with blogs I follow, and I know I'm not alone.

[CLOSED] SCHICK: Hydro Silk Razor (PLUS GIVEAWAY!)

Usually I do these posts on Saturdays but I felt like I was depriving you guys of posts :P

Schick Hydro Silk Razor

Today is another NPR (non polish related) post. But still beauty related :] I'm going to take a look at the Schick Hydro Silk razor. The big idea this razor tries to make is that it's a great moisturizing razor. As most of you know, I have eczema. My legs are no exception, sadly! While eczema doesn't flare up on my legs, they are fairly dry 24/7 no matter what kind of lotion, how much lotion I put on them :[ SO, I was looking forward to trying out this razor! Check out my review after the jump for more info!
