Hello Lovelies! Please excuse my random disappearance - Somehow my keyboard on my Macbook was given a drink of water while I wasn't looking and I was sans keyboard for a bit there. The external USB keyboard that I usually use was also doused, and is still out of commission, but the tiny macbook keyboard is working again, which is better than nothing. At least I am able to post.
In other news, I had a flare up of the evil lungs over the weekend (if you follow me on Instagram (@KimbersKorner) you already know how thrilled I was to be denied care by my Pulmonologist since I am currently in between health insurance coverage. On top of that, Monday afternoon I arrived at a long time client's house for the final day of her pet sit, to find that one of her dogs had passed away overnight. Thankfully being a vet tech for 8 years has steeled me for the death of furry friends, yet this one hit me incredibly hard. It appears that he was either bit or stung (he had a history of severe anaphalactic reactions) and in the hours between visits he passed. Calling his owner was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Thankfully she is a wonderful person and knows how high our standard of care is so she doesn't blame us, however I still feel responsible. Chances are that without an EpiPen, even had I been there I would not have been able to save him, but the what ifs will always be there. What's worse, is that my bond with this dog was deep, and I feel his loss very deeply.
See? 2013 is the worst year ever for me, and just keeps getting worse. I can't wait to see it roll away.
But let's talk about happy things, shall we?
Today I have an awesome polish from Mint Polish to share. I've been wanting to try out Mint Polish for good while, and was lucky enough to win a giveaway on Instagram. The shade I won is called Full Bodied, and is a gorgeous Oxblood Jelly. I fell in love with this shade the moment I saw her on Instagram, and a few days later, entered the giveaway to win her. I was shocked that I won, but oh so thrilled. Not only did winning allow me to try a brand that I've been dying to check out, but I won the vampy polish of my dreams! A huge thank you to Mint Polish!
You'll also notice the return of my left hand! It's back to swatch shape again, so I'm sure you'll be seeing it from time to time. I prefer to photograph my right hand, but since I *am* right handed, sometimes the left hand is just easier.
This is 3 coats of the fabulous Full Bodied topped with HK Girl Top Coat:
Rawr! I dare you to tell me that this is not the sexiest oxblood jelly ever! I'll be honest, I rarely love a color enough to wear it without glitter or nail art, but I've been wearing this for 3 days now, all on her lonesome. So much love for this polish!
Full Bodied's formula is just as impressive as its color, with a thick yet fluid consistency that doesn't thicken up during use. Application was so easy that this polish may as well have applied itself - no dragging, balding, or streaking - which is always a huge bonus with such a dark jelly polish. Full Bodied is opaque at 2 coats, although I used 3 since my photo lighting is very strong and tends to make Jellies look much sheerer than they truly are. Dry time was fast, and Full Bodied is incredibly shiny, even without top coat. I, being the impatient creature that I am, did use my beloved HK Girl Top Coat though, which made this girl even shinier. Wear is simply amazing - I'm on day 3 of wearing this beauty and I have zero tip wear or chips, the shine is still just as dazzling and the color just as rich and vibrant.
I love this polish so very much, loves. I simply must try more from Mint Polish (this is why I need to win the lottery - my budget is a cruel, cruel mistress.)! With a formula this fabulous, amazing application and incredible wear, I just have to have more. And the colors! Mint Polish makes some seriously dazzling colors!
You can check out Mint Polish at MintPolish.com. All polishes are 5-free and retail for $12 per 15ml bottle. I have my eye on Original Mint, Czarina, Rue Cler, Ming, and Peligroso (Oh you have to see Peligroso!). I'm also dying to check out their Wet Look Sealer and Flawless Base Coat.You can also follow Mint Polish on Facebook and Instagram for new releases, sales info, and swatches. You can also check out their blog here.
What do you think of Full Bodied? Are you a fan of vampy jellies?
I'll be back tomorrow with this week's Mish Mash challenge mani (I'm a full day late sorry all!), and I have some new Polish TBH coming up as well as Flakie Friday (an awesome Lac Attack beauty that you just have to see!), and more from Squishy Face Polish, Love Angeline, and more.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
