Personal Accents - "Champagne"

Hey guys,

I'm starting to get pretty dang sick of snow and crummy weather! What I wouldn't just give for some weather and a temperature of something that is above zero. I would even be happy with zero. I don't think that is asking for much.

So this is the last Personal Accent polish I have to show you guys (I think, it wouldn't surprise me if I was wrong) This is a champagne foil. I really liked this one. On it's own it is fairly subtle but imagine this paired with black in a manicure wooo that would be nice.
This was 2 coats.

Personal Accents - "Red"

Hey guys,

Ahhh, Internet bullies- also known as trolls. People who have nothing better to do than to make rude or hurtful comments. These people could be perfectly nice in person but give them access to the Internet and slight anonymity and suddenly there goes the filter. Today Julep reposted a picture I posted to Instagram of my manicure. I was so excited. Only to see the first comment was totally bashing my nails saying my (fairly tame as far as stilettos go) nail shape was creepy and gross. Yeah that kinda stings. I'm cool with people not liking the nail shape I have. That's fine. They're my nails. I like them, and I like them this shape for a reason. They make my short stumpy fingers look longer and in my opinion more elegant. After another rude comment or two in came the Calvary. The awesome people who have no problem speaking up to bullies. Just saying "hey no need to be rude about it" 
I dunno this was my first real brush with this kind of a thing. Trying not to take it personally. But it's hard not to take someone bashing a part of your body personally. Kudos to all the awesome people who stepped up to the plate though. You know who you are, and you are awesome. 

Oh Red nail polish, how I love thee. 
This is a great shimmery red with a blue flash to it. This was from the pack of four minis from Nicole. 
This was two coats!

Personal Accents - "Wine"

Hey guys,

So I need to talk about what happened to me this weekend. Don't be scared. It's AWESOME.
I am notoriously bad for "falling down the rabbit hole" of the internet and next thing I know it's like 10 pm at night and I'm like what happened to The Good Wife marathon I was having and how have I spent 3 hours watching Youtube videos.
There is this girl on Youtube who does these "Does this thing really work?!" videos where she tests as seen on tv products, but these videos are ridiculous. I laughed my butt off, then SPENT AT LEAST 4 HOURS STRAIGHT watching these videos. So many questions were answered. I feel like I needed to share the love. I posted a video at the end, stay tuned.

So this is another Personal Accents polish that came in the set Nicole got me for my birthday.
These didn't come with names so I have named this one Wine.
This was two coats.

Please enjoy this video. This is what spawned the beginning of my marathon.

Personal Accents - "Blue Ice"

Hey guys,

Okay so probably about six months ago my cousin told me to watch Vikings. Did I listen to him at the time? No. Should I have? Of course I should have, my cousin Alex has impeccable taste in tv. I should have known better. 

Also - GO CANADA!

For my birthday my bestie gave me a 4 pack of minis by Personal Accents which is an Amway brand. None of these polishes had names so I've just been winging it here. This is the first of four. An icy blue foil. Good coverage and application here. This is two coats.

Personal Accents - Shimmering

Hey guys,

You know sometimes you get what you pay for, a couple weeks ago I ordered a bunch of iphone cords for my new iphone 5S off of Beyond The Rack, well about half of them work.... and even then they don't exactly work always the way I want them to. I'm pretty annoyed I really didn't want to have to order a bunch of $40 cords.

So I didn't know Amway sold nail polish until I googled this brand that my best friend had given to me.
I was actually really impressed with the formula and colour, this was almost a one coater.
This was 2 coats.
