gift from AYD

i got this bright lavender nail polish from hot topic a while ago and wasn't sure if i loved it. this swatch is two coats, it is nice and bright. it reminded me of an easter color for some reason haha. in case you're wondering, it's almost an exact dupe for color club's puccilicious, the latter is a tad more dusty and not as neon.

then i decided it was lacking something so then i pulled out a lovely polish i hadn't used in a while, golden rose 14 that i received from beautiful blogger AllYouDesire. it's an awesome scale effect flakey blue and green. it really made this polish pop!

here is another polish i received from beautiful AYD; alessandro is brand i have never tried, like golden rose. this color is a great vibrant blue with a slight purple duochrome at the edges.  i actually can't freaking find it right now to tell you all the name of the color haha, oops!

hope everyone's week is going well! keep cool if you're out in the heat!

5 guys I used to fancy when I was younger (and maybe still do a little!)

1. Devon Sawa

ohhh gosh, what can i say about this hottie? haha please, have mercy on my poor little adolescent self! he was my dream man when i saw "Casper" and "Little Giants" and seeing him in "Now and Then" sealed the deal. i was in llllooooovvveee hahaha. he looks like such a dork now! did you see "Final Destination"? ew.


2. JC Chasez from 'NSYNC

yep i was definitely an 'NSYNC girl, no backstreet boys for me! i had their concert videos, all their cds, everything. i would vote for their videos on TRL everyday! i taped all the old Mickey Mouse club shows that JC and Justin Timberlake were on when they came on special on the Disney channel one summer and I'd watch them over and over. haha, i think JC might be gay though...oh well! he did have the best voice!

3. Mark-Paul Gosselaar

saved by the bell = best show ever! i seriously wanted to be kelly kapowski. mostly so i could be with zack morris! i would do my hair like hers and everything haha. hey i got to be cheerleading captain, so theoretically i was halfway there? haha! this is one guy i definitely still crush on though, he's still hot!

4. Leonardo DiCaprio

what young girl didn't have a crush on leo? c'mon really? i think you're lying to yourself :) titanic was monumental for me, seeing that tragicness at the tender age of 12 can really mess with you! leo was my hero for YEARS after. plus, romeo and juliet? ummm YEAH. hotttttt.

5. Brad Renfro

so sad, but brad's life ended early last year. i loved him in "Tom and Huck" and "The Client" and "The Cure". he was so talented. seems like so many young and promising stars are taken so much earlier than they should.

also i wanted to say rest in peace for Brittany Murphy. she was always one of my favorite actresses and i can't believe she's passed on. the world is truly saddened by her loss.
