Random me things:
- I knew from the age of 7 that I wanted to be a doctor. So I guess that makes me really stubborn, huh?
- As a junior in high school, I toured Europe for a month as a part of a concert band. It was made up of a select group of high school band students from across the east coast. I played the trumpet – I continued to play through college and I miss it! I also used to play the piano and I taught myself how to the play the flute… badly.
- I’m so not a sorority girl… but I was one. I went to college at a place where I didn’t know a single soul, so the Greek system was a good way to meet people and be a part of the social life. I am a Chi Omega alumnus, so I love anything involving owls or skull & crossbones!
- I truly think that if I met her, Jennifer Lawrence would be my best friend.
- I aspire one day to have someone respect my opinion enough to send me nail polish to review!
- I think I have impeccable taste in music, movies, & TV shows, but I have a lot of guilty pleasures too. For example, I love me some Bravo TV and crappy reality shows.
- On the night we met, the first things my husband and I bonded over were our shared love of Monty Python and The State.
Before I share my nominations with you, I want to show you a few pics of a new polish. Colors by Llarowe puts out some amazing holos, and I bought a few of the multichrome holos. Right now, I have on Rockin’ My Juju, which is a ridiculously amazing color. It shifts from blue to purple, but is predominantly teal-blue and has a really strong linear holo. You can easily wear it on its own since it’s opaque in 2 coats. I love it!
You can see some of the purple shift in the above pic. But really, pictures don’t do this color justice!
And with flash:

love the color! (you neeeed a better camera though! I found that the only thing that really separated me being good at nails and me being good at nails but getting sent some few things to review was using a better camera and editing my shots for color). love the monty python connection 🙂 my boyfriend first admitted he liked me after we joined in for a sing-along with dr horrible’s sing along blog. it was epic!
I totally agree – I am in need of a better camera… I’m just using my iPhone camera now. LOVE Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog too!
Congrats to you!
