Jesse's Girl Crush vs Zoya Jancyn

Are you seeing double?  DOUBLE TROUBLE!  ^_^  While wearing Jesse's Girl Crush, I was thinking "Hey, I've seen a perfectly pigmented orange before!"  Zoya Jancyn from the Flash collection was a pretty awesome orange as seen here so it's time for a comparison!


For Crush, I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 3 coats of Crush and a top of Seche Vite.  For Jancyn, I used a base of Zoya Anchor, 2 coats of Jancyn and a top of Zoya Armor.

Yep - they look pretty much like twins!  Both were smoothly applied, both have a nice shine - winners!

Same story in the shade.  Nice - orangey... mmmm juice.  Love it.

CSN Giveaway #5

I'm still validating the entries from my Urban Decay Giveaway, but hey, let's have another CSN gift certificate giveaway - this one for $45!  Sorry international friends - this is only for USA & Canadian readers, but I'm going to be having a few more giveaways in the near future, so stay tuned!

To sign up, just fill out the form below - giveaway ends in one week on 16 February at midnight GMT.

So as I mentioned before, I purchased my first house last year, and while we were remodeling the kitchen, we tore down the existing bar area in the kitchen to open up the floor plan.  Now that it's gone, I miss it!  I've thought about building a new one, or even just a stand alone area but one thing that was missing was an overhang to place some modern bar stools.  It was pretty annoying, actually, since you just had to stand there and when one person was preparing food and the other was talking to you at the bar, well, it wasn't very inviting

Now, I'll be honest, you're not going to find a bar stool for $45 on CSN, but you could get some beautiful framed art, or maybe some accessories for you bar, so with that in mind, make sure you follow via GFC and fill out the form below!  ^_^

Cat's Meow Winner

So as I mentioned (like 2 months ago), the winner of my Cat's Meow 6 piece never contacted me back (ever), so tonight I went through the entries and picked a new one.

#79 is miketrochack!  Congrats!  I have already emailed you and will need to receive your mailing address by 16 February or I'll chose another winner.  

Jesse's Girl Crush

It's time for another Jesse's Girl color - today is actually Jesse's birthday!  Give him a shoutout on Twitter if you have time.  ^_^  Crush is a perfectly pigmented orange creme - very vibrant and a very nice formula.  I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 3 coats of Crush (to make sure it was even) and a top of Seche Vite.

In the sun, you can see how this color is very pumpkin like - or a big glass of orange juice.  Either way, it's pretty sweet!

Same story in the shade - just a lovely orange that looks good enough to drink.  (I think I'm just craving orange juice...)

Jesse's Girl sells for $2.99 a bottle online or at Rite Aid stores. You can visit Jesse's Girl on their website, Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter.

Blogs of Note

It's Super Bowl Sunday here in the USA, and I'm stoked to watch the game.  While I start pre-gaming, here's some blogs of note for you to nosh on.


Jellynat: Medium to Long nails - slightly sporadic posting (had a down computer and was missing her photo editing software) but still a good place for searching older posts.


Just Nice Things:  Definitely long nail blog here - which I think is super cool!  I wish I had long nails sometimes!  You'll also find guest blogging reviews, some makeup, and some great blogger interviews here.  I do believe this blog is updated daily, so be sure to put her in your RSS/GFC feed!


Keerthamina: This is another blogger who hasn't updated in a while but does have some great older posts to check out - reviews and some art.  I really do like researching other colors on other blogs - especially some of the "core" colors from companies.  ^_^


Enjoy!
