OPI Neon Revolution

 OPI Neon Revolution

 Don't Say It - Yellow It!

Blue It Out of Proportion, Pink Outside the Box, Don't Say It - Yellow It!, The Time is Pow

OPI Neon Revolution is a fun limited edition nail polish set for Summer 2013. I really liked The Time is Pow (orange neon) the best. You apply the white base polish as a base coat first, that way the neon colors stand out on the white "canvas." Surprisingly, the white base that comes with this set isn't as good as the white base that came with the Nicole by OPI neon sets. I found the white base in my set was more on thick side so it was hard to get an even perfect coat of white. It's important to get an even application of the white base so your neon shades apply evenly. The white base in my Nicole by OPI Scandalous Neon set was a thinner formula and applied much smoother. I do really like the OPI top coat that was included in the set.

OPI Walks the Runway with New Couture de Minnie Nail Lacquers, Inspired by Minnie Mouse

            OPI announces the launch of its Couture de Minnie collection, including four limited edition nail lacquers and one new Liquid Sand™ shade. Created in honor of Disney’s beloved character, the Couture de Minnie line explores the fashion-forward side of Minnie Mouse, mixing pink, fuschia and red shades with textural elements. In addition to three crème lacquers, the Couture de Minnie line features a red and white polka dot glitter shade and the strawberry-hued Liquid Sand nail lacquer in Magazine Cover Mouse to give nails a sparkly, matte finish.

 “Last summer, OPI created a ‘Vintage Minnie Mouse’ line. Women around the world fell in love with the fun and playful shades evocative of Minnie’s traditional look,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “This year, OPI is exploring a different side of Minnie Mouse. The Couture de Minnie collection draws inspiration from Minnie’s iconic style and incorporates trends most recently seen on the runways, from standout shades to fun textural elements.”

I burn candles almost everyday in our house. I think they're a necessity if you live in rainy Washington and have dogs. lol I also cook a lot of Vietnamese food and always light a candle after I finish cooking. :) Nothing makes your home feel cozy like lit candles.

Nutwhat’s Pecan Scribbles are rich, buttery nuggets scribbled with dark chocolate. And because the bottom of the bag always comes too soon for this “twistedly addictive” confection.

 “Nutwhats are nutty little creations of yumminess,” says owner Lisa Rast. The Cashew Coconut Scribbles are a playfully delicious combination of coconut and cashews. And as their slogan suggests, these magnificently buttery nuggets are “twistedly addictive.”

 Three unique flavors of The Caramel House's caramels.

 Loblolly Creamery began making their signature marshmallows to fill a hole – not in the market, but in the bottom of their homemade waffle cones to prevent them from dripping. Customers loved the little pillowy stoppers so much that Loblolly began making them to sell individually. Made with local Arkansas wildflower honey, real vanilla bean, sea salt and NO corn syrup, these little creations are not your average ‘mallow.

The gals from Loblolly recommend plopping one or two marshmallows in a cup of coffee or cocoa, making smores with them (heat brings the honey out), dipping them in chocolate, and of course, putting them in the bottom of your ice cream cone.

Treat yourself to Treatsie! :)
