So I am a few days late. My baby girl had a ruptured ear drum. Here is my mani for 3/17. 
I am wearing Kiss Me I'm Irish by Liquid Sky Lacquer. 
This is a beautiful thermal that is clear with gold holographic. So much holo it looks golden. Looks greenish down below. 

The nice vibrant green is when this color is cold. 

This one shows it where my tips are warm and the rest is cold. I got out of work and got into my car and it changed.

Decided to melt Citrus Tango tonight. 

On cold sniff this is sour tart strong citrus...just the way I LIKE it!!!  I am hoping it will fill the great room. 
This was pretty strong if I say so myself.  The longer I had it going the more it smelled like a sour powdered drink. Like lemonade but not as sweet. Still like it and will continue to use it. It cleaned out the lingering dinner smells. Not something I would melt if I were looking for something sweet...more cleaning up at the end of the day. Might melting it with early sunrise. Just to see what I might end up with. I know ES is citrus too but I think this might just add a touch more :). 

I ordered a set of stamping plates from Amazon the other day. The ones I ordered are by Pueen Cosmetics set number 24E. When they made it here I couldn't wait to try them out. 
I had a party to go to so I thought I would try out a couple.  I am wearing China Glaze Creative Fantasy (purple) and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep Insta Dri for the stamps. 
I had heard that the Insta Dri line was a commonly used polish for stamping. They turned out pretty cute I think. 
Cute little owl.

Vines on the rest. 
I used an old gift card as a scraper. It makes it easier for some reason plus it isn't scratching my plate.

Here is a picture of my recent dotticure.  Not the best but it did the job. 

Someone on Instagram told me to try Julie G White Orchid for stamping. It is the closest I can find to stamping with actual stamping paint. I was missing some of the dots during transfer so I had to dot it up with a dotting tool. Should have done a better job measuring the size.

Yankee has come out with 5 new fragrances in a new collection call Exotic Escape.  Just the name alone makes me want to pack up my winter wardrobe and pull out the shorts, tanks, and flops.  Here's the run down:
Ocean Star:
According to Yankee, "Soothing and fresh . . the scent of peaceful, sun-kissed waters laced with aloe, citrus, and lotus blossom. Dive in!"

Citrus Tango:
Yankee describes this as "Time to shake things up with this lively, playful melody of sunny orange, lemon zest, and grapefruit."
I have to say just by the description I want it.  Sounds like something I would want a million tarts in.  Citrus...you had me at citrus.

Luau Party:
Yankee's description of this fragrance is "Join the celebration . . .every day is a festival with the fun and fruity mix of orange fizz, sparkling peach, and vanilla ice."  
Sounds like a tropical drink.  I have only smelled this quickly at the store during the SAS but I couldn't tell what was what at the time. I was so excited about what I was getting. I even meant to put these in my basket and FORGOT!!!  I will, however, be grabbing this and it will be melted after Citrus Tango. 

Under The Palms:
Yankee's description is "Like cool, refreshing shade . . . a lush, green scent of sea grass, palm leaves, and island coconut."  I am going to try it. Not sure how this will be. I do enjoy yankee's coconut that they use and I do like to have green\ grass type scents every now and then. 

Exotic Bloom:
Yankee describes this scent as "Deep in the tropical night, the seductive perfume of island flora creates an air of mystery and romance."  I will have to sniff this before buying just because it's a floral. 
Over all I am excited for this line up. I am ready for a couple of spring scents ...it's already in the mid 80's here so you can only imagine that mint and pine isn't quite working for me.
