After Christmas I bought my very first Illamasqua polishes and the formula is DIVINE. Now, if only they would come out with colors that I don’t already have…<\/p>\n

Then I saw something about the I’mPerfection collection, and caught a glimpse of those polishes. Deborah Lippmann is coming out with some similar, but her stuff is a little more expensive, so I thought I’d order a couple of the Illamasquas from Sephora. When I was on the Sephora website, I clicked “find in store” and LO they had arrived at the store by my office.<\/p>\n

And I ran on down after work to buy myself a little Valentine’s Day treat.<\/p>\n

\"DSC04602\"<\/a>That would be colors Fragile and Mottle. Mottle looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream… which is pretty much why I bought it.<\/p>\n

The formula is nice. I could have done with just two coats, but this is three (and no clean up, apparently! hah) and I probably should not have taken pictures at 10 pm but… whatever.<\/p>\n

Also for Valentine’s I decided to splurge and buy myself a pair of earrings that look just like the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda video games:<\/p>\n

\"DSC04605\"<\/a>When I saw those at Target, I thought they were pretty funny, and even though I try not to buy myself jewelry, I ultimately couldn’t resist. I’ll probably take the dangles off from the middle portion, I haven’t decided yet.<\/p>\n

I should probably beat Twilight Princess, shouldn’t I? And then start Skyward Sword. Hmm. Losing video game cred, I think.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
