Hope you all had a great weekend. I'll be back into full blogging mode now that I am back from Colorado. I look forward to March and everything I have to share with you all!

This is two-ish coats. I was having a damn hard time painting my nails. It was no fault of the polish, just of the polisher. I think that this formula works perfectly fine with two coats.

I am loving this color! It's a great rich green color on the nail (I might even say a jungle green (go get your Crayon box)). The color is very much a cream, no shimmer or sparkle to be found. It's unlike anything I have seen from OPI recently. I'm very happy that I finally talked myself into getting it. I haven't even had it on for a day and I received two separate compliments on the color! This one is a winner in my book. In fact I love it so much, I might just think about making it part of my March giveaway (which is gearing up to be full of a lot of awesome goodies!).

Yes, I tend to go towards green when all else fails. It's how my mind works. Honestly, I wanted something gray and funny enough, gray is still what I am leaning towards.

Really what I want to do is have a Kelly green, black and white bedroom. I've been in love with that color combination ever since I had to paint the walls green at Banana Republic (a few years back). They were a little paint happy at the time, which meant I was not happy most of the time, because I was the main painter in our store. This time though, they paired the green with beautiful black and white photos. Ever since then I have wanted to do a room that way.


Yummy!

But we can't paint in this house and I know we won't be able to paint wherever we move to next, so that color combo will have to wait until we're in our forever home. I swear that I will have some room styled that way when I get the chance.

For now I am sticking with my other color combination love. Gray and yellow. Yes I know this was the color combo of the year and is now over played. I seem to love colors a year or so before they hit big. I'm creeped out by the fact that this always happens. Anywho, I love it for our bedroom and because it's gotten popular, it's easier to fine out in the market place. Even Target sells a very very popular pillow from the Dwell line in the colors.

Probably the greatest thing about this trip was the unexpected items I found in the bath section. Just the day before I was over at The Great Indoors looking at bedding (for our room) and a shower curtain (for our guest bathroom). I had snapped a few pictures so I could show Nate some of the things I liked, one of them being a shower curtain made by Vera (yes that wonderful designer from the 70's).

I had been thinking long and hard about "Jade is the New Black" because I don't have a lot of greens. So I grabbed it, because if I am thinking about it that much, then I know I will use it. I also had been wanting a gray-ish color and liked Essie's "Chinchilly". They also had two bottles left of "Mint Candy Apple", which many of you know was Essie's popular holiday color. I had been looking for it back home and pretty much no one had it, so I was shocked to see that Beauty Brands had two left so long after the holidays (I had to talk myself out of buying the second one). The OPI Avoplex was a free gift for spending so much on OPI products. I do love cuticle items, so I'll be excited to see how well it works.

When I get home I plan on trying out the other three colors from OPI's Hong Kong line and of course I will post them for you all. Nate's finishing up a few things and then we are heading out to a "real" HomeGoods, as in it is its own store! I'm trying not to be too giddy. I'll blog about the findings later!

I did a quick sweep of all of the sections and found myself sticking in the Twelve by Twelve line. There was a lot of ribbon, lace and shimmer. I found at least 7 different things and ran off to the fitting room.

I tried to be cool and took pictures of me in the things I bought. I have never done this before, so bare with me. I'm not exactly happy with my body right now, so I am super self critical of everything I put on.
