Hello. I definitely broke my "post every day" promise to myself. My post from Wednesday morning seems more like a week ago rather than a couple days. Please know that if I take a couple days off it isn't because I'm leaving, it is because life happens, as it did in this case. Should I ever decide to conclude my blog (which I honestly don't see happening) you will definitely get a head's up.
Today I have a haul and new idea to share with you. First, my haul.
Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in Ice Queen and Frozen Solid. |
My Wal-Mart finally got these in even though they were advertised in last weeks flyer and never showed up. I haven't swatched them yet, but I picked these five colours because they are, in my opinion, the most unique from the collection. I haven't swatched any of these yet, however I plan to in the coming week.
As my stash grows I'm finding it harder and harder to come across polishes I don't already own something very similar to. Also, I'm trying to dramatically decrease my polish spending. I have so many polishes that I have purchased that I haven't tried. I would say 80% of my collection consist of un-trieds, it's shameful.
All right, now onto my idea. You may or may not have noticed the new picture in my sidebar, which looks like this:
I am really loving the Pink Wednesday's and thought I would create my own version with a different colour on a different day. While brainstorming I came up with "Blue Monday's". I Googled it and didn't find anyone else with this idea. (I would hate to take someone's thunder.) I have seen some bloggers do "Swatch Saturday's/Sunday's", etc, but have never come across Blue Monday.
EDIT: Wendy from Love. Life. Beauty let me know that Nails Beautiqued does Blue Mondays. I did not realize this when I thought of my idea. I do my utmost to ensure people receive credit where it is due. I will continue with Blue Mondays however I want you to know that I created this without any malicious intent or knowledge that this idea had been created previously. (The photo is my own, I created it in Paint because I am not very tech-savvy.)
Anyway, what do you think of my idea? I would like to come up with something for each day of the week as I think that will give me motivation and inspiration each day. So far, Blue Monday is the first one I will start with. Stay tuned for my first Blue Monday and my Sally Hansen Hard As Nail Swatches!
Do you have a schedule or any guidelines you follow for certain days of the week? Let me know!
Thanks for reading. :)
PS: If you like my idea feel free to grab the photo and put it on your blog. Please give me credit if you do! :)
I like the idea of Blue Mondays! That's really cute! I don't really have any schedule for my nails though, I just paint them whatever I want whenever I want! I love Sally Hansen hard as nails polishes, they hold up really nicely.

Can't wait to see swatches of these , they look beautiful .
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Blue Monday! I wonder what you will come up with!
ReplyDeleteI think Ice Queen is a dupe for an NYC glitter... at least they look it in the bottle :)
ReplyDeleteMy schedule consist of a "finish of the month" that I swatch on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; Pink Wednesdays and "Haul" Sundays. Monday and Friday are just whatever days.
I could definitely get onboard with Blue Mondays. I love blue so I'd have no shortage of polish to share. I don't know about a category for every day, because I think that would begin to be limiting, but I do like Blue Mondays! I'll slap it on my blog this coming Monday. :)
ReplyDeleteThey all look beautiful, especially Sapphire and Ice queen :)
ReplyDeletethose polishes look great! i like the green one the most. :D
ReplyDeletethe blue monday idea sounds great. i don't have any schedule on certain days. i just started blogging a month or so. :D
There's a saying about Blue Mondays in a Kurt Vonnegut book! Good choice! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I need to do something similar!!!
ReplyDeleteNice haul!
ReplyDeleteI like the Blue Monday idea :)
Great idea! Me and another nail polish junkie friend of mine have been thinking about this too. So far, we do Franken Fridays (we started doing this b/c of rachelmariesnails. Her blog is awesome too! Can't wait to see your 1st Blue Monday...
