Essie Spring 2014 Nail Polish Collection – Swatches & Review
My office, aka The Polish Room, looks out over the backyard and given that we live on a close-knit street filled with active little kids, it’s common to see them running by, playing games after school. Especially now that spring has finally sprung.
Seeing them streak across the yards reminds me of building forts and endless games of Tag with my neighborhood friends.

Urban Decay Bang and Chaos Nail Polish for Summer 2014 – Swatches & Review
Because I have a good friend who went to Syracuse, it’s hard for me to see blue and orange together and not think of their school colors. Which is exactly what crossed my mind when the new Urban Decay Summer 2014 nail colors, Bang and Chaos arrived, in the midst of March Madness.

OPI MLB Collection Nail Art for the Cleveland Indians #RollTribe
Yesterday was the Cleveland Indians home opener and, in spite of the rain delays, wind and overall crazy weather, they managed to pull out a major win over the Twins. Now, because I suffer enough with weather during Browns season, I never go to opening day at The Jake (sorry Progressive), but I cheer from home with #RollTribe pride.
Fortunately, the new OPI MLB Collection arrived a few days ago, just in time for me to create some Indians-themed nail art. Partnering with a sports league is a first for OPI and these seven new shades scream Americana, just like our national pastime.
