Good morning dears!  I'm heading out the door to meet up with some of my running friends to take an easy trail that goes by Levi Stadium!  It'll probably be the only opportunity I'll get to see the Super Bowl 50 decorations up close because once we're taken over by fans it's going to be nuts!  So while I'm off running you can enjoy this post.  I've got the Zoya Whispers collection which is a transitional set, something to tide us over as we wait for Spring.  It's full of soft, creamy (almost crelly formula) polishes.  You can purchase the Whispers collection now, each polish is $9.  So let's go ahead and check these out!

ellagee 2016 Pantone Duo; Blue Bella & A Breath Of Pink

Good morning lovelies!  Last month the new Pantone color was revealed.  But it wasn't just 1 color this year, it was 2, yay!  Actually I have heard a lot of grumbling about the colors selected; Rose Quartz and Serenity.  Truthfully I am not a huge fan of their selections either, but I think both shades are perfect for the Spring and together they make for great nail art!  ellagee took that inspiration and came up with 2 great crellies, full of soft and subtle with matching shimmer.   Blue Bella and A Breath Of Pink will both be available on Saturday 1/23 at 3pm Central.  They will be $10.50 USD each.   So let's delve into the post and we can take a look at both colors and some easy nail art I did with them together.

Darling Diva Polish The Force Collection

Hello dears!  Ok ok so here's another post in which I am tardy to the party.  Man I just can't seem to catch up!  So tonight's late post is the Darling Diva Polish The Force Collection!  I'm sure you've seen it by now, if not than yay, something new for you to look at!  But since I know Carrie is releasing the second collection to follow this one up very soon I thought it would probably be a great idea to pump up the first collection again.  The Force Collection is inspired by The first and classic Star Wars movies.  The originals; A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.  The best.  Seriously people, it doesn't get better than these.  If you missed out on this collection then you definitely need to get them.  I love the finishes and colors and the names.  HELLO the names are all perfect!  The Force Collection is currently available now and you can pick up the majority of them (only 1 is sold out) for $9 - $10.  Enough jabbering...let's check out this awesome collection!

A Box Indied, January 2016

Good evening friends!  Long time no talk!  Sorry for going silent, I really didn't mean to and thought I'd be able to jump right back in to blogging (amongst other things) but when I got back from vacation I found myself pretty jet-lagged for a whole week.  On top of trying to get a handle on laundry and the regular schedule (running, soccer practice and games, basketball, taxi mom-life, school, etc...) I found myself a bit overwhelmed.  But the laundry piles have been put away, the Christmas decorations are packed up, the house is back to is clean-ish state that I can deal with and I can now get back to the old blog.  Phew!  So please accept my apology for sharing this one late - so late in fact that it's no longer available.  But I figured I would share it anyways since I do have the February box on the way to me and well, I hate being behind on things so it just won't feel right to share that one and not this one.  And with that we can all take a gander at the January A Box Indied collection.  Hopefully you were able to snag on of these - not only are they great winter colors, but there are also some fabulous shades for Valentines Day!  Let's jump in and check it out!
