Swatches from my salonsavings.com haul

As mentioned in my video(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsrsWqGHwU0) I ordered 4 OPI nail polishes from salonsavings.com because I was looking for OPI nail polish at a discounted price and came across this website. This was the first website that actually had the names of the nail polishes and you were able to click on each individual polish to which you are directed to its own page. The pictures of the polishes do not get bigger so you need to either google swatches of the polish you want to buy or search it on youtube. The pictures on the website can be a little tricky so it is in your best interest to do your research first. This website has more than OPI nail polish. They have Essie nail polishes, china glaze nail polishes, hair products, hair styling products(hair straighteners, curlers etc.), and even perfumes. Everything is reasonably priced and shipping is $5.95 for everything. It is sent via usps priority mail which is pretty fast!! I had a great experience shopping from this company and look forward to shopping there again soon for more OPI nail polishes(They're my new obsession) Anywho onto the swatches....
First up is We'll always have Paris

Pictured below is The one that got away
Next is all four nail polish bottles
This one is all nail polishes and swatches

If you can get the crackle polish just right it will look great with any of them. I however am horrible at it lol but I'm trying...

Opi mini... Is it really worth it???

                                                             OPi mini vs full size
             Full size bottle in the shade the one that got away(Katy Perry Collection)
            Mini bottle in the shade The show must go on(Burlesque Collection)
While on Ebay just browsing I found this set of mini opi nail polishes from the Burlesque collection and I bought them. When I recieved them in the mail, to my surprise they look like they were for children. While I only paid around $9.00 and got free shipping(Yeaaaaaa free shipping!!!!!!) I was a little disappointed. You can probably get around 4-6 uses out of the mini bottle(depending on how many coats you paint each time) I do however think it would be a great gift or stocking stuffer, but for me however I will not be purchasing any more. I would rather buy a full size bottle than have 4 mini bottles. But hey thats just me. See for yourself in my pictures above and you decide. What do you think???

This wild heart of mine is gonna get me in trouble

Ok so lately(in the last week) I have been obsessed with this new to me song, Wild heart by Sabi(the girl featured in Cobra Starship You make me feel... and Britney Spears Drop dead beautiful) It has a sort of club feel with a lil bit of dub step. I even got a free download of the song from Sabi's fan website! I can thank the Kim and Kourtney take new york commercial for introducing this song to me. The lyrics are written very well its like a tale of a complicated love story gone awry. It kind of reminds me of Eminem ft Rihanna love the way you lie but without all the violence.If you haven't heard it yet you can hear it on the  video above(Its official!!!)

Bruno Mars meets Breaking Dawn

So if you haven't heard yet Bruno Mars has the first released song on the Breaking Dawn Part 1 Soundtrack. Seeing that Bruno Mars is a Pop singer and the Twilight movies feature rock/alternative music I was kind of skeptical. After hearing the song I changed my mind It seems like it will go along with the movie perfectly(Probably played during the wedding scene). The song is called It Will Rain and by the beautiful lyrics I think Bruno must have read the book and was asked to make a song for the movie. I think the Twilight fans will like it as well as any Bruno Mars fan. "There'll be no sun light if I lose you baby, there'll be no clear skies if I lose you baby, just like the clouds my eyes will do same if you walk away everyday it'll rain" A bit dramatic but sweet and endearing nonetheless.
