Midnight Ride

Sorry for the sporadic posts lately, you guys! School is out for summer next week and I've been preparing for exams and finishing up all my projects. It will be such a relief when it's all done! I'll be able to post more regularly during the summer. I'll be doing a post about my birthday and what I got soon, but today I have China Glaze Midnight Ride for you. The formula on this is great, but to be honest I'm disappointed in the color. In most lights this was just black on me, although the flash of the camera brings out the purple. I'm probably going to put it up for swap on MUA because I just want something that actually looks purple!



To spice it up I added a coat of Orly Prisma Gloss Gold. It really makes any polish beautiful, in my opinion.





Woah. Today I noticed I have 128 followers, I'm so excited! Looks like I'm going to have to start planning another giveaway already. Don't forget to enter my current giveaway though!

China Glaze- Side Saddle

When I first read a description of this polish I knew I just had to have it. It's has a deep purple base and is loaded with golden/bronze shimmer. It's such a gorgeous color...in the bottle. Unfortunately on the nails (mine at least) it was practically impossible to see the purple base, it just looks like a bronzy slightly burgundy/brown shimmer polish :[ Hmm...I wonder if it was because of the dreary lighting...I'll be sure to wear this on a sunny day next time!




It's still pretty, just not what I had hoped for. It is definitely one unique color though! I think the Rodeo Diva collection is one of my favorites, I love shimmers!

Here is what I had for lunch a few days ago. Romaine salad with fake "chik'n" and a homemade honey/orange/dijon vinaigrette. It was pretty good, but the vinaigrette is much better with fresh lemons. The fake "chik'n" cutlets I've been using are the best I've found! They're called Quorn Naked Chik'n Cutlets. If you've been curious about fake meats, this is the one to try! Most fake chicken products easily get the flavor, but seriously lack the texture. This one's texture is spot on! Mmmm :]


My little darlings has been such a sweetheart lately! Look at her cute little facey! She always tilts her head when she's comprehending something :]
