Firecracker Lacquer Everyone I Love Is Dead Pt 1

Indie Polish Monday, March 30, 2015
This is probably the most excited I've been for a collection in a while. I love polish, so it's not hard to please me, but it's rare for me to obsess over something as much as I did over this collection. Kendahl of Firecracker Lacquer hinted that there would be a collection inspired by something many of us love. Here's what the press...

Rainbow Honey Jelly Sandwich using Zoya Paloma

Indie Polish Friday, March 27, 2015
One of the things that attracted me to jellies were all of the beautiful jelly sandwiches being created. This was way before I knew what indies were, and the concept was kind of mind blowing. I know you are probably laughing at me right now, but that's the honest truth. Three years later and I'm hopelessly addicted to indies and jelly sandwiches. I...

Ulta Love Fern over Revlon Rich

Mainstream Polish Wednesday, March 25, 2015
I don't know about you guys, but I'm never quite sure what to do with metallic/shimmer polish like Revlon Rich. I'm sure it's great for stamping, but when it comes to layering I'm usually at a loss. After digging through my untrieds I decided on this combo: I know these photos look like they are super edited, but it's because it was a...

Wahkeena Falls & Fairy Falls Hike

Lifestyle Monday, March 23, 2015
Every time we go hiking I feel so lucky to live in the Pacific Northwest. It really is paradise for anyone who likes the outdoors. This adventure took us from Wahkeena Falls to Fairy Falls with a stop at Lemmon's Viewpoint on the return trip. When we arrived the parking lot was packed! It's not hard to see why with a view like...

Enchanted Polish Freeze Machine over Firecracker Lacquer Forever With Me

Indie Polish Friday, March 20, 2015
I don't usually gush over glitter toppers, but holy cow you guys! Enchanted Polish Freeze Machine is a stunner. I debated on what to use for undies, so I used a tried and true method to choose: I sent a snap (aka a photo in Snapchat) to a handful of friends. It went back and forth for a little while, but the winner...

Horsetail Falls & Ponytail Falls Hike

Lifestyle Monday, March 16, 2015
I'm incredibly late posting this, but we have had such wonderful weather these last few months that I'm spending more time playing outside, and less time blogging. On one of these occasions we took a trip to Horsetail Falls in the Gorge. As soon as you step out of your car you only have to walk a few steps before seeing Horsetail Falls....
