Happy Black Friday!! How many of you stayed up late last night or got up early this morning to shop? Who still feels that they are stuck in a food haze from yesterday? After having fun glitter nails last week, I decided I wanted to keep the glittery feel going into a holiday week. I also wanted a nail polish that could stand up to more wear and tear, as I’d be helping with the Thanksgiving meal and traveling (which meant I wouldn’t have my nailpolish with me). Because of that, I decided to go with “Vesper” by OPI. Vesper was part of the Liquid Sand Bond Collection. It really does feel like sand is in the nail polish, which I know bothers some people, but I actually really like it. It goes on smoothly, and there’s no top coat needed. I put on a base coat and two coats of the polish. Here’s what it looks like:
It’s a very dark purple, but like many colors, it changes just a bit in different lights. In indoor lighting, the sand almost twinkles like stars, especially since the nail color itself doesn’t look nearly as purple indoors. I love it!
Now on to some random Friday Facts!
1. I haven’t ever really done the whole black Friday shopping thing. If we do go out on Friday, it tends to be late morning or early afternoon, so everything I know about the whole black Friday crazies are only through stories. I feel sort of lame admitting that.
2. Melissa and I started listening to the “Serial” podcast on the way to Columbus for the Hot Chocolate Race, and I’ve been obsessed since! On Saturday morning I biked for an hour and forty minutes, and listened to two of the podcasts during that time. I’m not quite caught up, but I’m definitely going to hate having to wait for a new episode each week.
3. I saw Mockingjay on Sunday, and I’m obsessed. If I hadn’t had things to do, I would’ve turned right around and watched it again. It was actually better than I thought it was going to be. I can’t put my finger exactly on what it is about the series that makes me obsessed with it, but I am, and I accept that. I’m already itching to listen to the books on tape again!
4. I decorated for Christmas this past weekend. I have white lights hanging up around my living room, on my little tree, and in my bedroom. I have glasses full of little ornaments sitting on my TV stand, I have some little snowmen figurines out, and my little nativity scene from when I was really little is now out. I LOVE it, and love mixing old and new decorations.
5. I’ve finally updated my mac to yosemite! I hadn’t updated my mac in at least two years (in terms of operating systems), so I had missed snow leopard and mountain lion and I’m sure something else in there too. I was a ball of nerves updating, because I wasn’t sure if my computer would be able to handle everything. It took almost 48 hours to complete everything, but I’m glad it’s updated!
6. Check out this awesome discount from Bioskin!
Happy Friday!
Now it’s your turn to share! Do you have today off from work due to the Thanksgiving holiday, or are you back at work today? Tell me one random fact about your week!
My hubs and I started listening to Serial this weekend during our drive for Thanksgiving and it’s SO awesome!!
Isn’t it? Yesterday I started going doing the bunny trails of articles online about it. Have you checked out the podcasts about Serial yet?
