Wedding Songs and Finally Some Swap Polishes

Well my wedding is now 8 weeks away, so I was talking to mum when she asked me what songs I wanted...

Umm...opps! I hadn't even though about songs. The only one I'd thought about was the first dance. I just hadn't registered in my brain that I needed more songs.

So I did a bit of googling...and found out you need a billion different songs. (ok slight exaggeration)

Prelude, processional, bridal entrance, in service, interludes, recessional, first dance, father daughter dance and last dance. I probably missed out some.

Well I told dad he could decide on the father daughter song, but I'm cringing at the idea he'll end up choosing Butterfly Kisses. I know he loves the song...but does anyone else just think it's cliche now?

The first dance song is going to be A Whole New World...seeing as apparently (according to everyone else) Beauty and the Beast isn't appropriate. Even if it's just the instrumental :(

But I have no ideas for other songs. So help! What songs did you have at your wedding? What songs are you having at your wedding? What songs would you have at your wedding?

Anyway some awesome swap polishes. These two were from Sam. So thanks Sam!

More Mattes

I feel like I'm having a quarter life crisis! Well maybe not that extreme...but do you ever feel like you haven't found yourself yet? Maybe I'm just not a Junior teacher, I love teaching middles however.

I didn't get a choice this year, I was kind of told I was teaching Juniors...and it's not very me. It's making me question if I really want to teach. But then if I wasn't a teacher, what else would I do? I'd love to teach art actually. I'd love to stay at home and be creative lol.

I love working with kids, but I'm not into politics, or being judged.

Anyway enough of my rambling...here's some polish. I decided to continue the matte theme and these are the two Revlon mattes I picked up.



Powder Puff
 First up is Powder Puff a very pretty delicate white with blue shimmer. Powder Puff is a pretty white I'd actually wear. It's not stark in anyway. It does take a little to dry, and it's not the mattest matte, but it is pretty.


Emerald City
Emerald City is a gorgeous green matte with shimmer. Honestly it's just plain amazing. I meant to just pick up Powder Puff, but I couldn't resist the awesomeness of Emerald City.

They're both not the mattest mattes but they don't dry to a shiny creme. So still matte.

Thank You

I have two awesome people say a massive thank you to today.

On Monday Liz from Liquid Jelly tagged me for the Kreative Blogger award.
If you haven't checked out Liz's blog you totally should. She posted a very awesome universe inspired mani on Monday.
I've already done the 10 facts about me last week...but I wanted to say thank you. It's always so nice to get an award! It's like my class in school assembly, they get so excited about the certificates that are handed out. Well I got very excited to be given an award!
  
The other person I need to thank is Sam. I received a very awesome package, that was bigger than I was expecting!

Sam was kind enough to offer to send me a bottle of Revlon Perplex. So I jumped up and down, did a little dance, and said yes please! I sent her 2 of the BYS colour change polishes (which I hope she loves).

Instead of one polish, Sam sent me 6! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Silver Belle

I love Revlons glitter top coat Belle...yes half of that is because Belle is my favourite Disney Princess and Beauty and the Beast is one of my all time favourite movies.

I had to buy a back up of Belle, I use it cnstantly. When I was searching for a back up I found the Silver+Belle set.

Silver suprised me, it's actually a very pretty grey I can see being suitable as a winter or a spring colour.
Belle is just plain gorgeous and together they create a look I really liked.

Revlon Glitters and other awesome parcels

Glitter! I went back to mum and dad’s today…I had a sneaky suspicion I’d have packages and I needed a prescription from the doctor near their house.  

I had three parcels waiting for me at ‘my seat’.

First was a pair of yellow sneakers. They look very light and breathable, perfect for my early morning cross training. 

Second was very exciting. My beauty and the beast bracelet. My favourite movie of all time is Beauty and the Beast. I’ve been waiting for this bracelet to arrive for over a month. So I was very excited to open a package and find my Disney Couture Beauty and the Beast, story book charm bracelet inside.
I love the fact it comes in a book. Perfectly fitting as we all know Belle loves her books. The version I ordered came with the standard castle charm, a rose, an ice cream sundae, a bow and a cameo of Belle. Beautifull!



My third parcel was just as exciting as my Belle charm bracelet. Revlons 2010 Glitters! Star, Slipper, Belle and Galaxy. Yes I did develop an interest because one of the polishes was named for my favorite princess. As soon as I opened the parcel, and unwrapped my polishes, I opened Belle and applied it straight to my nails. I was wearing OPI You’re a Doll, a colour I’m newly in love with. Belle’s silver holo glitter and silver hex glitter looks amazing over You’re a Doll. I cant stop staring at my nails. So much so that when talking to Nick I was staring past him to my nails. They look amazing.

Star's Midnight Mission

I love China Glaze Midnight Mission, but as much as I love the colour alone I had to play with Revlon Star.

Revlon Star is a glitter top coat that combines silver hex glitter, small silver holo glitter and small purpley glitter.

The silver glitter popped against the midnight blue, but the purple was harder to find. I think the combination was very pretty anyway!
