i've added quite a few new bottles of nail polish to my assortment since i made that post awhile back with photos of my entire collection. here are the new additions!
essie: shine of the times, as gold as it gets, a cut above, set in stones
so sparkly!
dior: rock coat, new world purple chanel: peridot illamasqua: load
butter london: knees up, bumster, blagger
essie: sexy divide, marshmallow, cherry pop, after sex (some of these names are awful, i know)
china glaze: lubu heels, tinsel town, vintage
sally hansen: celeb city, mint sprint (a repeat, oops!), big money
my standys! sally hansen complete care 4-in-1 treatment and seche vite
there are a few amazing polishes and a few disappointments as well, but all in all, i think i've got a pretty amazing collection so far!
i had one! on friday, in fact. it was amazing! i keep saying it, but i can't stress it enough - i have the best friends in the entire world!
you see, i hate my birthday. i also hate new year's eve. both of those "events" feel like the end of something, rather than the beginning of something (glass half empty, etc. etc.). i always spend the entire month before my birthday ignoring the fact that the date is impending, only to wait so long that it becomes too late to plan anything, and then i feel disappointed.
this year, i left the planning to amy, who i am officially appointing to the position of "MINISTER OF JEN'S BIRTHDAYS" from here on. (just kidding! ...maybe.) the night was perfect and full of great surprises and delicious food and yummy drinks and FUN.
i also received the perfect presents from friends and family - makeup and macarons and chocolate and tea! i realized that almost everything i received was either from europe or europe-themed. like i said, PERFECT :)
i'm so excited to try my new makeup! i've really been looking forward to trying items from the latest chanel collection, including the "peridot" polish and illusion d'ombre eyeshadow in "epatant" and now they are MINE ALL MINE!
here's a video featuring some of the items from the collection. i could watch these all day:
the animation was done by peter philips, chanel's global creative director of makeup, who also apparently has a background in graphic design. so awesome.
