Borghese Nail Lacquer in B275 Verona Pink C

Today's most desirable nail colors, a blend of classic with the latest fashion trends... in a lavishly rich, nail strengthening polish.

• Long-wearing, hydrating, stay-true color with exclusive Acqua di Vita® complex to help restore healthy moisture and Micronized Gemstones for brilliance.
• The innovative Duale Curve Tip brush hugs nail curves for a precision line, delivering perfect application effortlessly.
• Tolulene, DBP and Formaldehyde free.
• Not tested on animals.

Verona Pink is a very pretty, fresh and incredibly juicy pink that was missing in my collection and it has quickly become a favorite of mine.

Comparison with Essie's horrendous brush (right)

The application is great, as the brush is so big - the biggest I've seen, in fact! - and perfectly firm, it basically covers the nail with only one stroke!

The nail polish dries really fast and it is easily removed. I love how this shade looks super shiny and glossy even days after applying it - can you see it in the picture?

If I'm right, Borghese Nail Lacquers retail for around $9.00 but I actually won this one (along with a few others) from Kim a looooooong time ago (thank you Kim!)

This post has been rotting in my draft posts for so long, and I figured out it should finally see the light as I have no mail to show you this week (I might stop posting these anyway). Also, for some reasons, I don't seem to be doing a lot of NOTDs posts... would you like to see more of them in the future?

Birthday FOTN, NOTW and presents

I celebrated my birthday with some friends Friday night. We went to my favorite restaurant, Jardin Thai (I ate sushis with cream cheese and smoked salmon and General Tso's chicken) , and we went clubbing at Le Vieux Shack.

Here's my FOTN:

Eyes

Annabelle Galaxy Eyeshadow Paletter - Shooting Star

Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner - Onyx

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara - Blackest Black

OLAY Regenerist Touch of Concealer Eye Regenerating Cream

Face

Annabelle Zebra Bronzing Powder - Haute Gold

Annabelle Blossom Blush - Peachy

Lips 

Vaseline

(= ♥

I added eyeliner before leaving the house LOL. Don't you think it makes all the difference?

And here's my NOTW, using Borghese Nail Lacquer in Venetian Red (thanks again, Kim!) and Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Rockstar Pink:

Sara and my boyfriend got me some goodies for my birthday =D

 Sara decorated the bag and the box with words I say often like "man", "sex", "shit"... yes, typicial me LOL.

 Maynards Juicy Squirts Sours: These are my favorite candies ever!

 How cute is this!

Fruits & Passion Foaming Bath Collection: The collection includes 2 fl. oz of Blackberry Musk, Pear Peony, Grapefruit Guava, Orange Cantaloup, Georgia peach and Field Berries. They all smell yummy, and I can't wait to try them!

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express in Black Drama: I'm currently using the original The Falsies and loving it (even though I don't really see the "dramatic false lash effect"), so I'm sure I'll love this one just as much!

Burt's Bees Facial Care Kit: 

This set is sure to naturally cleanse and will leave your face feeling refreshed and radiant.

• Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream 170g
• Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub 15g
• Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil 4.25g

This set costs around $14 so it's a great bargain as the cleanser alone costs $12.99. I wanted to try a cream cleanser that wouldn't dry out my skin as it's already dry and it worsens in the winter so I'm very happy with this!

Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black and Red: I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy some myself because I'm very lazy and I didn't think I could achieve something great, but I will definitely give it a try.

Jim Benton's It's Happy Bunny Socks: I needed socks, and I love Happy Bunny! Sara picked these out because it says things I can totally relate to those quotes:

 "I hate everything." (Typical me!)

 "I just don't listen." (I... just don't listen LOL)

 "It's all about me. Deal with it." (Yes, I'm selfish like that)

Jim Benton's It's Happy Bunny and Betty Boop Slipper Socks: Slipper socks are great to lounge around the house in, but unfortunately, these didn't fit, even though it says it will fit shoe size 4 to 10.

 "It's cute how you think I'm listening." (Typical thing I would say to my boyfriend LOL)

I'm not sure what happened here, but the design on the back of the socks seems to have been glued to iself and it makes the socks incomfortable to walk in.

Yoshi plush: I was in Future Shop with my boyfriend when I found some adorable Nintendo plushes and my boyfriend bought me Yoshi! Isn't it the cutest? ^^

I have the best friend and boyfriend hehe! =D

FOTD + NOTW: I might get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans, be your teenage dream tonight

Please ignore the red patch of dry skin in the corner of my mouth X_X
