I'm in the mood for Friday!

Hiiiii everyone!!!! :) It's FRIDAY! And I'm psyched for the weekend!!! My best friend, Brooke, is visiting and we have a packed weekend planned! Including a trip to some nail supply stores in the city! I LOVE having her here, it's so nice to just be able to hang! She goes home on the 4th, but I will see her again when I go to Jersey next month for my Nana's 80th birthday! I am looking forward to getting back to my homeland!!!! 

So, last night, I finally got around to trying the Mood Struck polish I picked up at Claires. I got the purple one (obviously), and it changes to pink depending on the temperature. Much to my surprise, this stuff actually works!! I used Essie Fill The Gap as my base, and then two layers of the Mood Struck polish. I topped it off with some Seche Vite and didn't notice any color changes. It was late, and I went to sleep. This morning, when I was getting ready, I got some hot water on my nails. I looked, and I saw pink and purple! It was a very exciting moment in my otherwise boring morning routine! So, here you go!:

My Best Friend!

Hi there! I have a super exciting post to write about today... my best friend in the whole wide world, Brooke. She and I have known each other since we were 1. She is pretty much my sister and unfortunately, she lives in NJ and I'm here in IL. It's a real bummer, and I miss her A TON, but, it makes days like today extra special. I got a package from her with a bunch of goodies inside. She knows about my little obsession with makeup and nail polish, and must have taken it into consideration when putting this little bundle of joy together for me! First, this is Brooke and I:

Brooke and Tara: Halloween 1986

Brooke and Tara: New Years Eve 2010

We have been through so much together, and I know how lucky I am to have a best friend for pretty much my whole life. Love you, Brooke!!!! OK, so this is what I received today!:

So awesome, right!? The polishes are by Funky Fingers. The colors of the bigger bottles are as follows: the purple one is called Riot, the green one is called Wild Child, and the Super Amazing glitter one is called Sand and Stilettos. HOLY MOTHER OF BLING TO THE MAX!!!!!!! The other smaller polishes in the plastic are a collection called, "Mighty Brights". There are no individual colors names on the packaging or the polish itself,  but they appear to be a pink/gold duochrome, a green/gold duochrome, a purple/pink duochrome, and a teal/aqua/pink trio-chrome? I'll take some better pics when I do swatches. The other stuff is a bath bomb shaped like a cupcake, a loose pigment shimmer stack with a brush on the end, some Big Sexy Hair Spray & Play hairspray, a body spray and lotion, some Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Eggs, and she also included some metal plant stakes shaped like flowers. I can't believe she sent all this stuff!!! Oh, and you guys have to check out the card she sent with it:

It's so us!!!! hahahaha I love it! Alright so I'll have some swatches soon, but I could just not resist trying the glitter explosion. So here ya go:

I know it's blurry, but COME ON!!!! LOOK AT IT!!!!!
