Polished Professionals: Minimergency Kit

Hello, everyone! As we kick off the work week, I thought it would be appropriate to bring back my Polished Professionals series with a product that I've been testing for a few weeks now. It is currently replacing my old standby survival pack.

The product is called the Minimergency Kit by Pinch Provisions and it's a 3.5" x 2" x 2" case with seventeen items that any woman might need "in a pinch." The Snake Charmer (snakeskin) bag was just released for Spring and comes in four colors: Mint, Cherry Blossom, Blue Raspberry, and Tangerine. I received Tangerine!

Swatch & Review: Color Secrets Amelie and Moulin Rouge

Hey, everyone! Thanks for sticking with me this week... I appreciate it! I'm so glad to be back!

Today, I have two polishes to show you from a new brand called Color Secrets. One of the really cool things about their polishes is the fact that every single one is named after a movie, most of which are chick flicks. Some of my favorites used are Casablanca, Miss Congeniality, Clueless, She's All That, Tangled, Notebook, Pretty in Pink, Never Been Kissed, Dirty Dancing, Devil Wears Prada, Love Actually, the Breakfast Club, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Night at the Roxbury, and Across the Universe!

I received Moulin Rouge and Amelie! How Academy Awards appropriate, right?

First up is Moulin Rouge, a juicy strawberry polish with electric pink glass flecks.
