Nail Polish Clean Out + GIVEAWAY!



So I've been doing lots of Spring Cleaning/Organizing projects around my place lately.  Last weekend I tackled the all-mighty nail polish collection....  This was a serious undertaking. 

I used to have all my nail polish in brand and color order.  I finally decided, after much consideration, to put everything in color order only.  And, OMG I had sooo many repeat colors.  Here is a fun photo of how my polish collection looked - Before & After.

 

I started this process during the day and didn't finish until after the sun set, so that's why my "after" photo is a little wonky.  But, I'm sure you get the jest of it. 

 

Oh I almost forgot to mention, these handy dandy wall mounted nail polish racks can be found on Amazon, here.  I have 3 of them, but I'm only using 2 in the photos.  These are better than salon quality racks that you see at the nail salon.  This acrylic is super thick and mega durable. 

 



 

 

 

This is going to be a super long bog post for you all today, but trust me...  It will be worth it!

 

I decided that since I have been doing my blog for a while now, and all of you tend to like my giveaways, I would do a nail polish giveaway :)  Who doesn't love a little extra nail polish, am I right?!

 

Here is an extra special giveaway  for y'all!  There will be 3 winners, total.  All the info on how to enter will be below the descriptions of all the nail polishes.  I linked all the polishes if you'd like to see them online as well as in my photos.

 

Okay, on to the descriptions....

Fashion Friday: SURPRISE!

It's finally Fashion Friday!!!!  So T.G.I.F, people. 
 
So I've had this awesome plan since last month.  I had been getting a few fun accessories from Forever 21 and collecting them for a Fashion Friday post.  So I thought that I would share some fashion fun with you all. 
 
I know what you're thinking...  "Emily, you're in your 30's.  Why do you shop at Forever 21?"  Well let me tell you, friend...  You can find some great classic looking things there.  I tent to dislike about 95% of their designs, but I can always find some cute stuff when I shop online.  Shopping in the store makes me crazy, so online shopping is for me.
 

 
Here is a rundown of what I got...
 
Waverly Print Scarf - Navy & Cream
Spiked Stretch Bracelet - Gold Tone
Show Off Bow Ring -  Gold Tone Size 7
 
So do you all like this stuff???? 
 
Well, I'm giving it all away to one lucky reader!!!!!  SURPRISE!  Okay so here is the scoop.
