I woke up today feeling pretty yucky. I had a 'recovery day' scheduled from running, so I pushed myself into that. I had a feeling of a fever but I did my 'pretend' jump rope workout anyway. (I jump rope but don't have a real rope to use; just go through the movements with my arms.) I had a work project scheduled early this morning, it was already 80 degrees before 10 AM, but I went and did it anyway. I wanted to come home and be inside where it is cool. However, I went to Ulta (it really is on the way home) and made sure I used my $9 in points and my $3.50 off $10 coupon today.
Even then, I went to a large mall do finish up more work so I wouldn't have to do it tomorrow. But I stopped in Forever 21 anyway and found some polish.
Semi-soothing, here are the goods...
Sparkle babies. From left on: Currant, Silver and Coral.
But you have to check them out up close to get a good looky...
Currant. I merlot shade with red and gold glitter.
Silver. It is a much lighter shade of silver IRL, with iridescent micro-glitter.
Coral. A pinkish coral shade with red and fuchsia micro-glitter. This one might be a jelly. I'm not sure yet.
BUT WAIT!!!!! THERE'S MORE!!!!!!
Early July 4th sparklers! From the left on: Purple/Silver, Green/Clear and Red/Black/Silver. Oh, those names got me excited!!! *rolls eyes, one way then back the other*
Silver/Purple. The base is clear with chunks of silver and a red-purple hexagon glitter.
Green/Clear. A clear base with chunky leaf green and silver hexagon glitter.
Red/Black/Silver. Again, a clear base with chunks of very red, black and silver hexagon glitter.
Any one of these three hexy glitters could make some interesting nail 'sammich' manicures. I'm ready to experiment!
I did stop by CVS in the mall to check to see if I could find anything new. I found the new Limited Edition NYC polishes...
The coupons at the front expired on 6/1/11. Not nice. But one polish did come home with me (where at least 2 unexpired NYC coupons are)...
This is 'Gramercy Glitz.' It's a pink, almost totally clear, base with tons of baby girl pink and iridescent micro-glitter. Not exactly a new shade but the kind I tend to gravitate to.
I'm a chick from the Midwest, I had to look this one up:
Gramercy Park (
/ˌgræmᵊrsi ˈpɑːrk/) is a small, fenced-in private park
in the
borough of
Manhattan in
New York City,
United States.
It looks lovely. I'd like to visit it. Some day. When I go to New York. Where my hubs is from. NYC, where he got his Masters. Yea...some day.
See any shades that tickle your fancy?
