LynBDesigns Review & Swatches - The Name is Everything
Tuesday, June 16, 2015
Oh my friends. Do I have some exciting stuff to share with you today.
First of all...I DID make it to the Wizarding World on Friday! The weather held out for the most part. There was a short downpour but we were tucked safely inside The Three Broomsticks chowing down on pub food and Butterbeer!
And how perfect is the timing of my trip with this post packed full of Harry Potter goodness?
Also...today is my 31st birthday! Oooh weee so much exciting stuff is happening!
I think I'm going to share some of my favorite photos from my trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter later this week also.
Today let's focus on some pretty fabulous Harry Potter goodness from LynBDesigns.
So what house are you? Are you a Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin?
I'm a Ravenclaw and so is my husband!
Jenna over at LynBDesigns is releasing The Name is Everything collection in three short days!
And to be more specific...the release is at 7 pm EST on 6/19/15.
Each polish below is shown all by itself with no undies, three thin coats of each polish, topped with B Shiny from LynB.

Kindness & Justice
**Inspired by the one and only Hufflepuff house. The house that good old Cedric (R.I.P.) was in.**
***Lots of gray crelly goodness in this beauty. Gray with black, white silver, gold, & gold holo glitters. The formula was easy to work with. The glitters played nicely and weren't an issue getting lots on the nail. The Hufflepuff House will rejoice!***
**Inspired by the Gryffindor house this red jelly hits the nail on the head of inspiration**
***Lovely crelly formula. Red crelly with red, orange, yellow, white, & black glitters. As with most jellies, and all polishes in this collection, it needs thin coats and three will get you to opacity. No issues with formula or application.***
Curiosity & Knowledge
**Inspired by Ravenclaw, the house I call my own, any other Ravens out there??**
***Blue crelly loaded with blue and bronze microglitters and black and white glitters. This one has more of a glitter texture and formula than the previous two polishes. It dries to a more textured finish because of that. It can probably be opaque in two coats if you use thicker coats than I did. No issues with staining, application, or formula***
Greatness & Ambition
**Inspired by the always ominous, for better or for worse, Slytherin house**
***Green crelly with silver, gray, green, red, & purple glitters. I'm not going to lie...I may walk the line between Slytherin & Ravenclaw...so this beauty really spoke to me. Plus...I love green. There is so much fabulous going on in this beauty. No issues with formula or application. And like all the other polishes this is shown with three thin coats.***

What's even more exciting then this collection? Well...not much.
But what makes this collection MORE exciting...there will be two more Harry Potter themed collections from LynBDesgins releasing in July!
Again The Name is Everything Collection will release Friday (6/19) at 7 pm EST.

Smitten Polish Review and Swatches - Radiant Orchid
Thursday, June 11, 2015
Hey there gals and dolls!
We've made it to Thursday...I'd say that is quite the accomplishment.
I'm diligently keeping an eye on the weather for Orlando...tomorrow is the big day...hopefully!
If you read my Monday post...you'll know that we are hoping to go to the Wizarding World tomorrow!
Luckily we aren't far from Orlando so if we have to decide that on the day of it won't be a huge inconvenience.
So today I have an oldie but a goodie from Smitten Polish!
Best news is...it's still available in the shop!
**Such a beautiful shade of purple. I don't know why it took me this long to wear it...but I'm glad I finally did! Photos are shown with two coats and Elemental Ward top coat from Lucky 13 Lacquer. No issues with staining or application/formula.**
Below is a quick photo of the morning sun on this beauty!
Next week, on Monday, I will have a new Harry Potter themed collection from LynBDesigns!

Mid-week Coffee Break - Portland, Simplicity, and Limeade
Wednesday, June 10, 2015
Happy mid-week guys!
Every week during this post...I think this is the best group of things I've found...it's no different this time either. The fact of the matter is...the internet has some great freaking finds on it. This is always such a fun post for me to compose because of that!
Let's get to the goods and I'll see you tomorrow!
PS - Happy Anniversary to my hubby! Love you!
This house in Portland is pretty much perfection. The inside...yeah it's perfect too.
This hanging wood shelf is beautiful!
The simplicity of this is just lovely.
Rhubarb Limeade. Yum!
These donuts...are cookies! Love it! Need them...

Pahlish Review & Swatches - This New Sun
Monday, June 8, 2015
Hey there friends!
How goes it? How was your week?
My husband and I spent a large amount of time watching Harry Potter. If the weather plays nicely we will be on our way to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter this Friday for my birthday! Summer in Florida is rough. Rain is pretty much guaranteed at some point during the day no matter what. If the chance for rain is too high on Friday...we will just go later in the year for a belated birthday. One way or another...we will go!
Have any of you ever gone to the Wizarding World?
Today I have a throwback Pahlish to share with you! This New Sun is probably a good 2 years old at this point...and it's fabulous.
I still see them in destash sales so keep an eye out!
This New Sun
**If there was a polish that described me...I think this would be it. As soon as I put this on...it felt like a polish that was literally made for me. Photos are shown with 2 coats topped with the NEW Magic Mirror top coat from Pahlish! No issues with formula or application...no staining either!**

See you Wednesday!

Wednesday, June 3, 2015
Hey friends!
I have some pretty great finds to share with you today...if I do say so myself.
This will be my last post for the week so I hope you like what you see!
I will be back next week as per usual.
Enjoy the finds and your coffee break!
These mugs are adorable and they have different backgrounds for each letter! So cute!
This rustic and oh so charming entry way decor
I'm not one to search out the beach...but I feel like my husband and I would really enjoy this beach scene!
Speaking of my hubs...I could totally see him with an office set up like this when we grow up and start being official adults.
I've never had these from Olive Garden but man does the at home version of this look yummy!
What??? Yes. I have got to try this!
That's it for this week guys!
I hope you enjoyed my two posts this week!
That Gal...signing off!!
