Sunshine was abundant today in Chicago, and what better than to wear a nice bright yellow?

Polish Addict Sea Witch and GIVEAWAY!! reminder

I'm back again, and this time with polish #4.  Over The Top Coat is having a giveaway that I'm participating in, which is why I'm showing these polishes on my blog.  I almost wish that I could enter...there are some nice prizes to be had!

Today's polish is Polish Addict Sea Witch, from the summer NEON collection.  A red-leaning purple jelly, with some sparkly glitter.  Very pretty!

Time for another polish in the prize I contributed to the giveaway going on at Over The Top Coat.  If you haven't entered yet, go!  Hurry up!  There are a lot of prizes up for grabs.

Polish #3 of the group is probably my FAVORITE!  I wanted to show this one last, but I've been wearing it the past couple of days and figured I may as well post some photos.  This is Polish Addict Caution, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!

Polish Addict Lime Light and GIVEAWAY!! info

Hello all!  So the toes are dipping back in to the pool, so to speak, but it is only going to be the kiddie pool for a while.  I didn't forget the time that goes into blogging on a regular basis, and that kind of time?  I ain't got.  So posting won't be regular like clockwork, but I'm not planning on disappearing for a couple months again either.

A fellow blogger and friend, Natalie from Over the Top Coat, is having her 2 year Birthdanniversary on her blog (blogiversary and birthday combo), and I decided to contribute this year.  It gives you guys a chance to win a great prize (yes, I am biased), and me a chance to get back into the swing of blogging again.  It just went live today, so you've got plenty of time to get in on it!  It runs from today, July 14 to July 29.  To enter and see the details, just head on over <<here>>.

Lots of pics, so let's get to it!

Back to blogging!

I hear a lot of crickets chirping out there...hello?  <<hello.>>  <<<<hello!>>>>


Work is DONE!  I'm taking the rest of the year off to put in the final kick to finish and get my degree in December.  It was a mistake to go back to work; well, at least for as long as I ended up staying.  All the reasons why I left in the first place kind of came roaring back to me, and I realized that the job and career that I once had is really - no doubt about it! - over. 


It's been a long time, and I am dumping a whole buttload of knowledge from that life.  I'm sad, scared, nervous, worried, motivated, excited, and so many more emotions right now...really none of which I'm concerned about.  The one emotion I'm working for - and it's been more than a little elusive - is confident.  But the classes I've got lined up for this final sprint should bring that one out of hiding.


Anyway...I will be dipping my toes back into blogging, starting tomorrow.  I've decided to be a part of a giveaway a buddy is having, and it is going live tomorrow.  So, I'll be announcing it here on my blog, and will be putting up some posts showing the polishes that will be my part of the prize goodies.  And don't worry - I am NOT using the polishes I am giving away for my swatching.  I already had them in my stash.  I liked them so much, I decided that they would be a great prize for the giveaway.


So...same time tomorrow?  See you then!!

Spring Cleaning time!

It's been a long time since I've been here...that saying "time flies when you're having fun" is true, but it also flies when you're busy as hell and are miserable.  But spring brings me a sense of renewal and some much lacking ambition to get back to doing thing that are fun and I enjoy.


My "temporary" job that I though would only last a couple of months back in January has finally got an end date - 1st week of July.  Still a bit of a tunnel, but I can see the light and it is OH SO GORGEOUS!! 


So folks - whoever is still around - I will be cleaning out the cobwebs and dusting off the polish bottles and just waking this sucker back up from it's very long hiatus.  My nails are almost recovered from this harsh winter that is STILL trying to linger here in Illinois, and I've just got to let them grow out a little bit.


See you all soon!
