Fan Friday...Floss Gloss

Floss Gloss has just recently released three new polishes as part of their Fall/Winter line, Lifestyles of the Floss and Gloss! These polishes have got some serious sass. Not only does the brand name their beauties flawlessly (I mean..Donatella..), the colors are unlike anything you've seen anywhere else.

If you aren't familiar with them, Floss Gloss was started in Cali in 2009 by art school besties, Janine and Aretha. Together, they concocted their polish which is cruelty free with no DBPs, toluene, formaldahyde, and formaldehyde resin. Boss nail polish that isn't harmful? I dig it.

Not only do their polishes rule, but their lookbook photos are perf. Below are snapshots of each of the shades. I love that it feels like a cohesive collection and also shows you how the polish looks on real fingernails (something not every website does)!

Needless to say, I have got to get my hands on these babies. I am especially lusting after Donatella - that color is unlike anything I own! Unfortunately, the shipping is a bit expensive, so I haven't been able to afford to purchase ANY of their polishes yet (Faded has been on my lust list for months). However, check the Retailers tab on their website to find a physical location to snag these gems in your city. I'm gonna get one next week at a local boutique :)

What do you think of Floss Gloss as a brand and as a product? Let me know!

Happy Friday <3

Springtime Delays...

So sorry for the long wait between posts! I've been busy with school and many other things due to the fact that it is spring time now!

Here's a brief update on some of the cool things that I've been reading, purchasing, and viewing!

Movies:
Jamie and I have been switching off on movies - he picks one and then I pick one.  Lately, we have gotten through Inglorious Basterds, The World's End, This Is The End, Pink Flamingos, and Midnight in Paris.  Overall, they've been pretty good. We are looking forward to tackling more in the future, as well as more documentaries!

Books: 
It's so nice to actually have some time for reading! I've just conquered Caricature and Ice Haven by the super talented Daniel Clowes, as well as The Complete Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.  I really enjoy reading graphic novels lately, because I feel accomplished when I finish a book quickly!  I especially loved Persepolis - it's such an inspiring and informational story.

My friends are avid readers and have also lent me the Scott Pilgrim series, Right Ho, Jeeves by Wodehouse, and the Tim Kinsella novel, The Karaoke Singer's Guide to Self Defense. I will post about them in the future once I get through them!

Beauty and Nails:
I just recently bought two fabulous colors (on sale!) from Julep, my favorite brand of nail polish. These both are vibrant and fresh for spring - what do you think?

I also tried polka dotting for the first time (with toothpicks haha). I think that overall, it came out okay and it wasn't too stressful!  Do you have any easy nail art tips for me?

My Nails Today:

One of my favorite Julep shades, Estelle.  

This is 2 coats of polish. It has a little bit of a rough texture which I love!
