"It's my party and I cry if I want to."

But, I don't want to. (: I finally have a new mani to show you! My birthday is in two days, so, I thought that I would go ahead and do an birthday mani. I chose Revlon's Minted and Ulta's PiƱata Yada Yada, which is a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday. So, I thought it was fitting.

I love this combo, so so much. In the picture Minted comes out a little more on the blue side, but, it is actually more green. It's quite thin, so I did four coats on top of one coat of white polish.

Remember how I said that I was having problems with my nail polish just "sliding off?" Well, I stopped using my old base coat, a Sally Hansen one that the label fell off of, and started using the Ulta one that I purchased a while ago. Before applying my base coat, I filed the surface of my nails just a little bit, to help everything adhere. You know, like when you go to re-paint a table and you sand it a little first? Same premise here! And, after having this mani on over night, I can report to you that I've had no polish shrinkage or polish sliding off. Yay!! 

Well, that's all I've got for now, I've got dinner to make and some school stuff to do, so, until next time!
