Polish Party!

Heey y'all! Although Tropical Storm Lee has put a damper on Labor Day weekend, he couldn't stop the indoor festivities! So yesterday, when the rain and wind was pretty bad, some of my family resorted to my house. My mom cooked some delicious 'rainy weather food'-Crawfish Corn Soup for lunch, and Red Bean Soup for dinner. I'm sure many of you have never heard of either of these, but I promise you they are yummy! We had lots of left overs to take us into today, which happens to still be crappy weather. 

Let me get to the point of the story.  While my family was over yesterday I got to paint their nails! I painted my cousin Chelsea's nails with the DS Coronation color I swatched yesterday, however I didn't get pictures of them.  Then, I painted my cousin Sophia's nails with an LSU Tiger theme. GO TIGERS! It didn't come out just like I would have liked it to, but it was alright. And lastly I painted my nanny's nails with DS Reserve. Oh, and I painted my mom's nails with Shootout at the O.K. Coral but she refuses to let me take pictures of her nails.


For Sophia's nails I used a purple by Forever 21 (they don't name their polishes specifically).  On her accent nail I used a base of OPI's Need Sunglasses? and for the stripes I used OPI's Funky Dunkey and came back on top of that with the purple by Forever 21.

On to my nanny's nails! OPI's DS Reserve is a stunning pink filled with lots of shimmer and a little bit of holo.

I almost forgot about my nails! I painted them with OPI's Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees the day before yesterday. By time I photographed them yesterday, I had some tip wear due to removing polish from other peoples nails and what not. It's a gorgeous charcoal that builds up with two coats. I know some people see blue in it or something? I don't see it so much. Maybe it's just that I wasn't in the natural light. But I love this much more than a regular black, because that leaves staining and is normally messy to work with!

AANDD! I was going to take a picture of outside for y'all, to show you the weather we were having, and when I opened the door...my Forever21 package was laying on the porch! I was beyong excited! The estimated delivery date wasn't until September 6th! And I couldn't believe they'd deliver during a Tropical Storm! Haha.

Can y'all see the rain in this one? I never realized how hard it is to capture rain in a picture! And of course there's no way to capture the wind. Hehe. So just imagine wind + rain.

BBUUTT! Here's the exciting part about the package! It contained 3 new polishes! Straight up glitter bombs! Online they have better names, but on the label of the polish it just says like, Purple, Turquoise, Red.

The actual names are Sparkling Red, Shimmering Purple, and Shimmering Turquoise.

They are even more amazing in person! Really. Breathtaking. So I couldn't just look at them! I put on Shimmering Purple over my Suzi Skis on my accent nail. Just look at the glitter in the bottle! Everyone should get a bottle of this!

Sorry for the long, pic heavy post! I hope you like everything I showed you! Let me know what you think--especially about those Forever 21 polishes!
