RSVP

 My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I decided that the best way to pre-celebrate was to buy something(s) for myself.  But with 2 hours to spare before going to work, if I had plans of doing any sort of damage, I needed to act pronto. I decided to head out to my fav place, and got a couple of nail polishes, nail art brushes and a King Kong size of Seche Vite. Yes, you've read right, King Kong size. It's so huge, that I couldn't stop staring at it. I was all smiles, but truthfully, this was just the beginning of my soon to be wonderful day. When I got home, mom needed to get a couple of things for her trip and being the good daughter that I am, I decided to join her.  As we got to the store, she headed to the travel section and I flew to where else?  Nail Polish-ville!!(as if I need to expand my polish collection anymore) When I got there, I saw this beautiful purple bottle burried inside a basket with other polishes, it stood out amongst all the other colors and that was enough to make it a part of my growing familia.

Take a look:



The polish is from Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength collection and the name is, Save The Date. This enamel is a rich shimmery purple, similar to the color of  red wine. In the sun, it's absolutely gorgeous, you can see the shimmer come to life. I found the consistency to be more on the thick side for some reason, but a couple drops of thinner should take care of that. I am glad I found this beauty. It was destined for me to have this polish as a part of my pre-birthday purchase. I've already received tons of compliments. Now, my nails and I can be fierce and fabulous as we celebrate my birthday!







At the end, I decided to add a touch of fancy-ness by adding rhinestones in a shape of a flower. Cute huh?
