Vintage Wallet Series Part 1
My favorite accessory I own is this vintage style clip wallet, so I decided to see if I could pull as many similar and complimentary colors from it and match what polishes I have.
First up is Zoya Irene. It's a beautiful gold-toned green, It applies very clean, which is necessary for me, and I think it matches nicely.
In other news, life is both busy and happy. I am thoroughly enjoying the new job, and I get lots of feedback, which was sorely missed before.
Also, this week I adopted two rescue rats, who had a very sad story before they came into my home. You can read their story and see pictures here.

Up and Away, but not quite Irish
As Irish as I am, I was more than thrilled to get Four Leaf Clover from the China Glaze Up and Away collection.
And it was a beautiful color, just not quite Irish.
I ruined this batch of photos btw, but thought it still deserved posting.
But perfect for Spring!
What do you think?

Wicked
I know y'all don't usually respond well to my posts with my eyes, but here was the eye makeup look I did for taking my mom to Wicked this weekend.
I used the Ulta black eyeliner and Emerald Isle eyeshadow from my freebies, and my favorite UD Skyscraper mascara. For highlighting and blending I used the other colors in the same palette as Emerald Isle.
For my nails I wore......... Emerald Sparkle (Surprise, Surprise)

Light as Air
I didn't think I would like this color, but it had that look of something that looks bad on the hanger but is just interesting enough to buy it anyway, in hopes it will look amazing on.
And, I love it. The only reason I didn't think I would like it was that it is very light and pastel compared to my normal shades. But it's pretty cool. It applies very well, and though these pictures are a little messy (another at work mani) I think I will leave this color on today even though I had planned to move to an Alice in Wonderland color, in honor, or should I say honour, of seeing the movie I've waited so long for.
I justify it by saying I think Alice would probably wear this color if she had the choice.
Curiouser and Curiouser....
