ORLY SPARKLING GARBAGE

My new favorite polish combo... China Glaze Aquadelic, from their Spring 2012 Electropop Collection, 2 coats, topped with 2 coats of Orly Sparkling Garbage from their new Summer 2013 Mash Up Collection, 1 coat Seche Vite....

This manicure lasted for days without chipping... and that almost never happens for me.... I love that holographic scattered sparkle of Sparkling Garbage in a teal jelly base!

Polish of the Day

















Two coats of OPI's "What's with the Cattitude?" from the Shrek Forever After Collection, Summer 2010, topped with two coats of Model's Own "Indian Ocean" from their Beetlejuice, Summer 2012 Collection.

What's with the Cattitude is a sky blue cream, and Indian Ocean is a glass fleck type pale blue shimmer with tons of pink shimmer in it... very, very pretty!

Spring has Sprung-- and then some...

Well, Spring has arrived here in Texas-- earlier than usual. I don't usually get any of my bearded iris blooming until April and they have already started!

First, a few pics of my daffodils...

















Next, my first iris in the front garden....

























First iris in the backyard...

























Some pale lavender bearded iris and some yellow Siberian irises...


























That's my pink Indian hawthorne bush in the background-- blooming like crazy! My Zephirine Drouhin rose is blooming-- when you walk out the front door, the smell from that Bourbon rose is intoxicating! I will post some pics of it tomorrow, along with pics of my red violet Siberian iris.

I love Spring!
