On Wednesdays We Wear Pink: Bondi New Your "Botanical Beauty"

Hello beauties! Happy Wednesday! I hope you're all having a nice week. As you know, on Wednesdays we wear pink so today I have a polish to show you from a new brand called Bondi: New York, which was sent to me for consideration.

This is Botanical Beauty  which is a lilac tinted Pink creme.    It's got a nice high shine finish. I love the color, it may have a  touch too much white in it for my skin tone but I think a lot of people can pull this off, vs. a true baby pink, because the subtle purple tone warms it up and makes it less stark.

This polish is super opaque and I only needed two coats for the finished result. I had no issues with streaking or balding at all. I thought the formula was very nice on this. Please excuse the index finger, I'd just broken that nail when I took these photos:

  

Bondi polishes are 5-Free and can be purchased on their website for $15 a bottle. The price point is a bit high for me. I do not usually spend that much on a polish unless i feel the color is truly unique. However, if this suits your budget the product is nice.

What do you think o f Botanical Beauty? Have you tried any Bondi nail polishes? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

OPI: Honey Ryder

Hello friends! Happy Monday! I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead of you! Today I want to show you another OPI Liquid Sand color that was sent to me for consideration. This is Honey Ryder from the OPI Bond Girls Collection. This is a really pretty golden shimmering sand color. I love it! 

As with the other Liquid Sand polishes, this is a textured matte finish. I cannot get enough of these. I am so happy to see new colors in this finish! 

The formula was great. I had no issues with application whatsoever. You don't want to use a top coat with the Liquid Sand colors if you want to keep the matte textured finish, but these dry really quickly between coats so it's not really an issue.

  

What do you think of this one!?

Random Bits:

• Yesterday I spent all day cooking for the week. Let's hope this makes life a bit easier during the week. Here's what's on the menu: Baked Spaghetti Squash and Cheese from Skinny Taste (I just baked the squashes to make prep time less), Cilantro Lime Shrimp from Skinny Taste, Mediterranean Quinoa Salad from Skinny Taste for lunches this week, and while I was preparing all of those things I had Chicken a la Criolla simmering in the Crock pot, also from Skinny Taste. If you haven't checked out Skinny Taste and you love to cook, you should. Gina's blog is amazing (and who doesn't love the name Gina? LOL). 
• Saturday, the 27th, is my Birthday! We're going to NYC to see Wicked! We've seen it before but we're going with friends who haven't seen a Broadway show so we thought Wicked would be a great way to introduce them to Broadway.

Color Club: Over the Moon

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well! Today I'd like to show you a color (sent to me for consideration) called Over the Moon by Color Club. Over the Moon is a light blue linear holographic polish.  Holos are just so much fun, when they hit the light it's just a kaleidoscopic of color. What else can I say? So pretty!

This is actually a really opaque, almost one coater! I used two for the opacity shown but if you're super careful you will absolutely be able to get away with one. What's better than that!? No streaking, no balding.

Love this one! How about you?

Well that was short and sweet! I wanted to say hi to you all and thank you, as always for coming and reading the blog. I hope you're all doing well.  I am! I am enjoying my new job and am really excited for what's to come!

What else is going on? Well, I have been told by the Dr. to go gluten-free. What a pain! So I have been doing that, not easily, but doing it. Any of you gluten free? How do you do it? I mean no calzones? No bread basket? No tortillas. It's really sad. I did, however, find a really great bakery nearby that makes killer gluten free cupcakes. One craving satisfied! Any tips are much appreciated. 

Until next time, have a fantastic day!
