Happy Sunday! I have 3 more blogs here for you.
First today is Vampy Varnish. Blog owner Kelly has short to medium nails and has also started to blog about makeup too. She gets some advanced releases of certain brands, so she's a good one to watch if you like reading about things way ahead of time. I do wish that her RSS would load the whole post the first time. I always have to click the "Read more" from my reader, which I haaaaaate because it loads in a new tab but I'm more inclined to comment because it does load the blog ^_^. Kelly also created a line of nail polish with BB Couture found here.
Next is Inside Of My Purse which actually a Turkish blog but owner Zuzu writes in both Turkish and English for her readers. She has short nails and reviews a lot of cremes with other finishes as well. She recently moved so she was on a bit of a break since everything has been packed up.
Finally today is A Polish Problem. I love that she promotes other blogs every Friday in her "Blogger Round Up" which includes new and just new to her blogs. She's one of the people who inspired Blogs of Note. She was also listed as a Top 50 Nail Blog by SpaBeautySchools.com. Megan has short pear shaped nails which I have never seen before. It's great to see a variety of nails out there, and blogging has certainly done that.
Enjoy!
Oh look! More icky weather! I seriously couldn't get a good picture of Jolly Holly to save my life due to the cloud coverage. Everything just looked gross which is sad because China Glaze Jolly Holly from the Winter 2010 collection is a super pretty dark green shimmer! China Glaze actually had it listed as a forest green shimmer.
I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 1 coat of Jolly Holly and a top of Seche Vite. Very nice formula - completely opaque in one coat. I'd also like to mention that I didn't have any staining of my nail or of my hands after wearing this color - something that always scares me with greens.
I really am sorry for just having this one nasty cloudy picture - I promise the color is pretty dang awesome! Additionally, I think it would be very beautiful with some Konad stamped in Cheers To You!

There has been a rash of websites popping up using other bloggers' pictures and in some cases, their own blogs. I thought I was slightly immune because I'm still new to the game, but I'm not a spring chicken anymore.
Please do feel free to report these posts as well - here's the ones of mine that I know (and have reported) so far.
