Essie: Van D'Go

Hello!

Today I have Essie's Van D'Go to share.  

Before I start my post, I just wanted to say that lately I've been going through my polish collection and I've sold a lot of it.  Maybe more than half of it.  I've been buying OPI/Essie polishes starting from 2008 and during my stressful busy seasons is when I usually buy a lot.  I noticed that I didn't wear a lot of it.  I've disposed it in the hazardous waste depot and I've sold some for a discount.  So my collection isn't as long and this might affect future posts.  

I opened up an instagram account but I haven't posted a lot on it.  If you would like to follow me, my name is just my blog name which is BLUETIPSWATCHES.  I'm trying to put effort in posting, so there might not be anything on it. 

Anyway back to the post.  I bought Van D'Go a long time ago but I haven't worn it for quite some time and I remember liking it. 

Essie: Got Engaged

Hello!

Today I have a light pink to share.  Got Engaged is part of Essie's 2014 Wedding collection.  This is the only polish I bought from the collection.  My coworker was telling me how excited she was for this collection and I took a look at it more closely and it is a very pretty, delicate, sparkly, soft pink.  So, I bought it too.

butter LONDON: Bumster

Hi everyone!

Off topic story

I'm going to go off topic first.  I typically go to the gym and work out.  I do about one hour to one hour and fifteen minutes.  Usually this includes some cardio and some machine weights and stretching.  At work, my boss suggested that we took a class.  So I agreed to go because I was wondering what these classes were about.  I've gone to maybe two before (one cycling one and another called Body Attack).  So we went to Body Combat, which is like punching the air.  I'm going to be totally honest.  It was a rough first five minutes.  I thought I was going to fall to the ground.  My boss and another coworker are a lot older than me, so I decided that I can't give up.  If these ladies were keeping up, I have to too.  Though, there were different levels of effort and besides the age, I wasn't going to compare anything else.  We didn't stretch, so I went back to the gym after to do a bit of cardio and stretched (though I know it was pointless because you have to stretch right after the intense workout to actually benefit from stretching).  Anyway, the next day I was sore.  My calves, and bum muscles were sore.  On Saturday, I went to another class called Body Attack.  It was mostly leg work, but I have to say my arms are in pain (especially my triceps).  That one was more doable than Combat.  Well until the thirty minute point. Then it was really difficult.  After Body Attack, I had to do some house chores that involved scrubbing.  I just wanted to say that I'm in all kinds of self inflicted pain right now.  

Review

Now for my post.  As I mentioned before, I was clearing my nail polish collection.  I came across butter London's Bumster.  I've noticed that the butter London's I own are a hit or a miss.  The ones that are a hit, last for a very long time and have a beautiful shade.  The miss ones are the ones that chip after one day.  So, I wasn't sure how I felt about Bumster. When I bought it, it was during my need to own every single shade of colour and I barely own any yellows.  I decided to keep it anyway because it was unique and it's pretty.

Cover Girl: Skylight

Hello!  Today I have Cover Girl's Skylight to share.  Sometimes I buy Maybelline, Cover Girl or Revlon polishes, but I don't necessarily post it up on my blog.  I'm not sure why.  I realize if I'm going to decrease my polish collection, the drug store ones are first to go.  I'm not sure why but that's how it is.  

I bought Cover Girl's Skylight at Shoppers Drug Mart during a sale.  Which was $5.99.  I think I've seen it cheaper at Wal-Mart? Yet, it caught my eye at SDM, so that's where I bought it.  It's like the perfect skyblue, which is my favourite shade of blue.  I have a lot that are too bright, or a little to the powdery side, but this one seem to be just perfect!
