Happy Friday, beautiful people! I am still on a high from our newly elected President. Life is just GRAND right now. Even if you were a McCain supporter, you have to admit that this is HUGE for America. Not just for African Americans, but for any and every one know thought they couldn't be where they wanted to be because of their race, class or background.
But enough of that because I'll start shedding tears of joy again. I hereby end all political talk on Clumps of Mascara...for now. :)
I haven't been dabbling in make-up at all this week. Blame my laziness after working out in the morning and my news watching at night. But I have been all over nails this week.
My shipment of Zoya polishes finally came in and I am in love with them all. The fact that I was able to snag 3 of them for free is still shocking; gotta love online discount codes!
Ohhh.....and a pretty brown from Sally Hansen's Fall Runway collection:
I was doing good with NOT buying polish until Big Sister Brown (and fellow polish junkie) from Betty Brown's Beautification and Banter had to go and tell me about Sally's sale on China Glaze polishes; Buy 2, Get 1 Free.....$20 later:
(l-r)
-Rite Stripe nail design thingie.
-Ruby Pumps
- Flying Dragon (neon)
-Shower Together
-Poshe Top Coat
That's enough polishes for the rest of 2008.
I will not buy any more. I will not buy any more. I will not buy anymore. I will not buy any more. I will not buy...I REALLY want a gray (anyone familiar with China Glaze's Recycle?) so hmmm..
Nail polish addicts understand! What are you sporting on your nails or toes at the moment? Still not into polishes too much? Tell me why? Have a fabulous weekend, fam.
Stay beautiful!

Ohh, I know JUST how you feel: I'm on a nail polish kick too! I recently got a whole loot of Essie, China Glaze and OPI's and seemingly every day or so I am putting on a new shade!
I'm really in love with the China Glaze Ecollection (awesome name, awesome point). I have Shower Together, Tree Hugger, Unplugged and Recycle and love them all. :)
Right now I'm sporting Violet pigment by MAC mixed with a top coat. I can't for the life of me find a nice purple polish (I'm aware of Flying Dragon yet it's always sold out, darnit!) so this is nice. :)
Wow, long comment! I love your posts and yes: Obama! Obama! I am SO excited! :D
Peace and love!

Nora--> *wipes brow* So glad that I'm not the only one. I seriously think there is something wrong with me sometimes, LOL! I mean who really needs that many polishes? Girlfriend, you are a lucky duck! I can't find Recycle anywhere. Why Shower Together is in stores but the others aren't, I don't know. :( Dude, you're a genius. A pigment with a top coat?! I think I may try that this week. Flying Dragon is insanely beautiful!! I'm sure e-tailers should have it. Head2ToeBeauty ships FAST! Thanks for visitin' CoM, Obama Mama!! :)
Jamila--> Sis, I'm a little too in love with Zara right now to swatch Shower Together. You know you're going to get it and you won't need my swatches to convince you. LOL!!!
Nikki--> A celebrity nail designer, yall! Yesss....we must cop gray polishes STAT!
Amina--> Much like my beauty/make-up obsession, nail care is very new to me. It came out of nowhere and I'm sure the same will happen to you. Watch! ;)
Ooooh I love that ZARA color and the Good Earth is a second runner up
These colors are really pretty on you.
Have the best weekend!

Great colors!! Zara is really pretty!
o00o0 great post!! never purchased any zoyas...what do u think of their formula...they're beautiful! I really love the brown Sally Hansen...might have to go pick that up! Oh and I neeedd Ruby Pumps, I have Lubu Heels (i think thats the name) but I need this one to complete the "set" lol. Have a great weekend!
The colors are gprgeous!!
All of them are purdy. These days I only seem to polish my toes because it doesn't peel off. When I polish my nails in 2-3 days it starts to peel. I feel like all that work for only 2 days. So I rather put on a pale pink or sheer white on my nails and call it a day.(lol)
you know i love it.. uh oh the first three are very similar/same color family ;)
i love kalista now, my sister tried it on last nite. does zara really twinkle like that without the flash. oohh i knew i should have gotten it. richelle.. hawt!
i can't wait to wear ruby pumps to a holiday party!!!
Zara looks fabulous on you!!
Zara looks fabulous on you!!

HK! =] lol i can never paint my nails they chip after an hour!
That reminds me - I must give MY OWN nails a makeover! Oh yea ... I used to love painting my nails blue.
Oooh I have to get that purple shade. Sallys has the full line of China Glaze nail polish now, and i am going to head over there next week and get that flying dragon and shower together (ahh the name hahahahahaha). You're making me broke B. I'm gonna have to stop reading your blog. First Oyin and now this.
Thanks to you I am now OBSESSED with brown nail polish. Awesome looks!
I like that 'Tart' color. I have a similar color on my toes right now. Another color that I'm obsessed with is Sally Hansen's Pat on the Black. You should check it out!

What discount code site did you use to find the code for the Zoya nailpolish?
Did you buy directly from the Zoya site?
I love the Zara one, I have not seen a color like that in a long time.
Love your site. I bought the L'oreal double extend beauty tubes mascara after reading your thoughts and watching your video and I agree with you. I like it, but I wish the wand was smaller for better control.
Please let me know when you get a chance.
Thanks!
Brit, Brit, Brit...Why are u doing this to me. LOL Do I want more n/ps? Yes ... Do I need more n/ps? Probably. I am totally loving the Zoya Zara and Kalista.
