Crabtree & Evelyn's Nail Lacquer

Last year, I wrote about Crabtree & Evelyn's hand soap (which is still, by far, the best hand soap ever) and now I have their nail polish to talk about!

KBShimmer Fall 2013 Press Release

Last year, I fell off the blogging wagon. Surgeries, sickness, my mom's passing... there was a lot. But now I'm determined to make 2014 my year so to start, I'm going to work on this backlog of emails that I have and share the wealth. I'm waiting for daylight savings time to start again so I have more hours of daylight but I will work on swatches when I can.

A good place to start would be talking about the KBShimmer Fall polishes. I do have two of these in my stash that I will be able to show you.

PolishGalore is on work/play/polish!

Happy New Year! I'm excited for 2014 - I have some new blogging goals and fun stuff coming up this year starting with my participation in the Blogging for a Cause series over at work/play/polish.

You'll have to visit wpp to see the full manicure and read more about how I found out about Polished Girlz, an organization that I highly encourage you take a second look at. My goal this year is to donate quarterly, mostly monetarily, because polish is something that I love and I want to share the love back.
