Today, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share with you some of my favorite nail polishes. Honestly, I cannot tell you the last time I had polish on my nails. I have such a wide variety of colors, and I need to seriously just make the time and polish them every week. #goal. I'm a frugal gal, so most of my nail polishes come from the drugstore. I love getting samples in my Birchbox or Ipsy subscriptions, and have been exposed to new brands through those as well! There's more. Much more.  I've done some blog posts on my favorite polishes, and I hope that you love these colors as much as I do! Even though these posts are older, I still use these shades to this day, and are still appropriate almost two years later! My favorite colors for Spring/Summer include a beautiful nude shade, an awesome mint shade from Wet N Wild, and a pretty purple from Julep! Just in case any of my readers are experiencing the opposite season as I am right now, I wanted to giv...

I have some great posts coming your way soon. A haul, Easter posts, Birchbox and Ipsy posts! Lots to look forward too! Today, I wanted to look back and share with you my favorite Spring nail polishes ! My polish choices haven't changed since last year, and I am definitely ready to start painting my nails again! I think I am going to wear Shay for Easter this year! It is a great neutral, and will do with what ever dress I decide to wear. What polish are you going to wear for Easter? Please leave me a comment , I'd love to hear from you!

These nail polishes are a good mix of many different colors. My mood depends on if I want to wear a darker color or a lighter color for my nails. Here are my favorites for Winter! L-R Giovanna, Ruby Slippers, Kendal, Shay, Kelly, Champagne Zoya Shay: This is in every single one of my favorites, because it is a great neutral. It is the perfect mannequin hands shade for me. It is a beautiful pinky/peach with a hint of metallic. I love it! Femme Couture Ruby Slippers: This is my go to Christmas Eve and Day nail polish. It is a deep red with lighter red glitter. It is absolutely gorgeous, and perfect for Christmas! Zoya Kendal: This is a wonderful Winter neutral. It is full coverage in 2 coats. This is probably the lightest purple, which makes it a great neutral. It goes with anything, and you can't tell that it is purple. Zoya Kelly: This is a wonderful purple/blue/gray neutral color. It is dark and sultry, and I love this with Essie Set in Stones as an accent nail. ...

I did some shopping this weekend, and I thought I would share it with you! I collected these items over a few days, and all of it was super cheap! (Cheap=Happy Mandii!)   I bought these bandanas at Hobby Lobby. I saw Kandee Johnson's tutorial on how to tie a bandana and I wanted to recreate that look. These are slightly larger than an average bandana. I bought the red one because I am going to a tailgate at a college, and their colors are red and white! The pink one, well, who doesn't love pink and white polka dots? Best part about it, they were $.99! I bought this Freeman Paper Mask at Wal-Mart. I have been seeing a lot recently about paper masks, and I wanted to try one. This one is made for oily skin. It has starfruit, lavender, and tea tree in it. This was only $1.37. If I like it, I might go back and get more! If you know me, you know I love a good trip to Walgreens! I picked up 3 products from Jordana, and 1 product from Sinful Colors. The Jordana products I picked ...

Is it Fall yet? Has Starbucks started serving the Pumpkin Spice Latte? (The official start of Fall) Fall means no more pinks, greens, or neon nail polishes but warm browns and burgundy shades. I have a few favorite Fall shades I want to share with you! Sinful Colors: Nirvana- This is a beautiful brown tone that can work as a neutral. This polish will go with anything! Color Club: Insta-this- I got this in a Birchbox, and it just screams Fall! It is a beautiful cornflower blue that is bright but not screaming at you. Zoya: Shay- This will go in all of my nail polish posts. This is a beautiful pink nude that fits in any season. For those of you with medium skin tones, this is your perfect mannequin hands look! It is slightly metallic, which gives it added dimension. Wet N Wild: Gray's Anatomy- This polish has a grey base, but is a duo-chrome. It ranges from a green to a slight purple. This would also look great over black nail polish. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manic...

I don't know about you, but I'm over winter. I was outside with my dogs the other day, and it was cold, and still snowing. I'm ready for Spring. What better way to prepare for Spring than with some beautiful nail polish? Here are my favorites. L-R Clambake Coral, Shay, Charlotte, Strawberry Margarita, I Need A Refresh-Mint, Insta-This Color Club "Clambake Coral"- This is a beautiful pastel coral color. It is the epitome of warmer weather. Opaque in 2 coats. Wet N Wild Megalast in "I Need A Refresh-Mint"- The perfect mint green polish. Every time I put this on my nails, I cannot stop looking at them! The formula goes on streaky with 1 coat, but opaque in 2. Color Club "Insta-This"- I got a sample of this in my Birchbox, and it is a beautiful cornflower blue. It just reminds you of Spring skies. This is also opaque in 2 coats. Julep in "Charlotte"- This color is a beautiful purple. It's not too bright, not too ...
