Hard Candy 2013


[Hard Candy "Black tie optional"]




[Hard Candy "Black tie optional" and "Sugar rush"]


Right after New Year's I caught wind of the entire Hard Candy line of nail polishes being discontinued to make way for a revamped selection.  I wasn't thinking that I would have come across it so soon, but I'm glad that I did.  For the release there are 5 "collections" with 9 colours in each.  There are obvious hard nods towards indie polishes/finishes from heavy glitters, the black and white glitter, and the candy coated colour glitters made famous by indie polishes and Nails Inc.  

What I opted for was of course the black and white glitter(I had to buy two!) mix which contains a good amount of glitter in each swipe and no fishing was needed for me.  Two coats was fine, but I'd recommend using Gelous to tame the glitter a bit.  I am not one to mind a gritty feeling manicure, but when bar or tinsel glitter is involved it's a must!  The other I bought was "Sugar rush", but I've yet to wear this one.  In the photos it looks to be a blueish tint, but I swear when I look at it I see gray.  Either way it's pretty and it will be my first time trying the candy manicure.

Keep an eye out for these because there are definitely some fun shades to try!  They are only available at WalMart(wah wah), but they are worth a peek.

December 2012 - part two photos


[Festive manicure for a special night with....]






[The huge surprise was my little sister, Meg, flying in from California early to go with us!]




[Meg, me, and my mom, Lori ready to see John Waters (Jeremi was too!)]




[A Christmas with John Waters!  We've been trying to get tickets for 4 years now, but it always sells out.  It was amazing and I highly recommend going next year!]







[For the first time ever, a quiet Christmas Eve]




[Christmas morning, complete with fireplace on the television]










[Ain't no shame in Joon's game]





[A few nights before we celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary, Dad cut one of these for all of his daughters]




[Nothing says Happy Holidays like white chocolate peppermint skeletons!]




[The Leg Lamp outside my parents front window.  A tradition every year]


So that was my December in a visual nutshell.  It was more quiet than most, but I totally appreciated that and felt like I was able to enjoy my time even more.
