Ulta - Pinata Yada Yada

Happy Monday! If you have off for Presidents Day, good for you! I had to work this morning. I'm not sure why the school doesn't close for this holiday, but whatever! I'm done, and I had a really long workout at the gym, so I'm feeling good.

Here's something to brighten your day! The weather is really gross here in Baltimore. Overcast and raw, but luckily not too cold. Anyway, I picked up this polish recently as I heard it's basically a dead-on dupe for Deborah Lippmann - Happy Birthday, which is an $18.00 polish. This one was around $5.00- I forget the exact amount.

Ulta - Pinata Yada Yada is awesome! Two coats are shown here, and I love the look. I see yellow, silver, red, green, blue, and purpley-pink glitter. The base is clear. Here, I used it to jazz up my Yellow Kitty manicure that I showed you last time. You can't wear this polish and be in a bad mood- it's impossible. It's like a party on my nails! Haha, corny but true. Seriously, click on the picture to make it bigger and check out the bling.

This is the closest dupe I've seen for Happy Birthday. I have Milani - Gems, but the old version from before they added purpley-pink, so I can't speak to that. Even just looking at the bottle for Pinata Yada Yada makes me happy! Plus the name reminds me of Seinfeld.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Yellow Kitty

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend!

Okay. So let's talk Sally Hansen - Yellow Kitty. Did I buy this polish based on the name? Maybe. Do I absolutely love it anyway? Yes! I love the whole Complete Salon Manicure collection of polishes. They're supposed to be base coat, color, and top coat all in one, but I always use my regular base and top coat out of habit. I don't need to, though. These polishes all dry to a great shine and wear very well. I have about six colors from the line, and they're all perfect.

So Yellow Kitty. It's a great baby yellow creme. It's pretty much good to go after three coats, which is good for a pale yellow! I don't know what it is with light polishes, but I sometimes have to do up to five layers to get it to look right. I did have a little bit of cuticle drag with this one, so you can see some spots near my cuticles are more sheer than the rest of the nail. But the color is so precious that I can excuse that. It reminds me of pudding or something. A lot of times I stick with dark colors in the winter, but I'm just sick of them at the moment! I needed something to brighten up my life.

Also, here is a picture of my rose ring, which I posted in a terrible camera phone picture earlier this month/late last month. I really like how the turquoise color looked with my polish. I love this ring! It's cool because it's not just a plastic rose mounted on a metal ring, it's acrylic all around. I got it at a surf shop near my house. It's so chunky and awesome! I have no idea what brand it is, though, which kills me! I'd love to have another in a different color. The shop had this one and a black one, but it was too big for any of my fingers. There is a silver logo on one side of a crown. Do you know any surf-ish brands with a crown logo? If so, please let me know! I included a picture that shows the logo. Look familiar to anyone?

Anyway, I wear this ring every single day and I love it to death. It's so big! I can't even get my fingers together when I'm wearing it! See how far apart my middle finger is from my ring and index fingers? I'm probably doing permanent damage to my hand, but whatever.

Thanks for reading! Have a good one!
