Hag Fish Skin ;)

For today I have a kind of a palate cleanser if you will. I am so gosh darn pale that nudes really don't do it for me. This is the most boring I get and I actually LOVE greys :)

As for the title of this post, my biology teachers FAVORITE fact:
'Anything marketed as eel skin (eel skin bags or wallets etc) Are actually made with Hag fish skin. But noone would want to buy a Hag fish skin purse!!!'

Haha it cracked me up everytime!!

So for today, I give you Eel Skin by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure!!






All of the above pics have no top coat, one coat on pinky, two on ring, three on middle, and four on pointer.
This was very opaque and you could totally get away with using just two coats!! Plus it is very shiny on its own. 

Right now I am wearing it as a full mani and to change it up I used Essie Matte about you top coat. I think it looks awesome like this!! Now it totally reminds me of hag fish skin!!! haha 




The above photos have two coats!

In case any of you were wondering here is a pic of a hag fish, I really don't know why they have such a weird name!

They are really cool animals actually, they can tie themselves in a knot to escape predators! woo :)



You learn something new everyday don't you?!

Haul SPAM!!

Okay, I have been putting off blogging until I unpacked! Sorry :( And the day I want to start up again... BLOGGER IS DOWN. :( It was all in all a very depressing day. But I have some awesome posts planned so stay tuned :)

For today I figured I would post pictures of all of the hauls I have had in the past two weeks. And you might say, how many hauls could you possibly have? Well....a lot. I truly am addicted haha :)

Warning: PIC HEAVY :)

First, A picture of what I came home to from college....


Yes, they are all polishes :D  Don't judge me!! :)

All of the polishes contained in said packages.....


I did not write down all of them, but just comment and I'll look up the name for a certain one :)

Here was an especially awesome package from an awesome ebayer...


My three awesome polishes, PLUS a hand written note, free bottle of Sephora's nail polish remover, Perfume sample, and mini OPI!!! :)

I have no idea what color this is (no name on the bottle), but If you girls recognize it let me know!!


This is a pretty accurate picture of the color.

My new crackles :):):):)



Here is a true testimony to how awesome Zoya is! I received my Zoya Earth Day order and when I opened it, there were six polishes that I did not order!! I talked to customer service and told them what happened. They shipped my correct order out right away and let me keep the ones I received in error!! I got to get more Zoya and they are all beautiful! I just never would have gotten them myself!!

Here is my haul from the Earth Day order....
