8 Polish Survey Giveaway Winner (and a recent NOTD: Maybelline Vanishing Venus)

Congratulations to Lauren K. for winning the survey giveaway!

And a BIG BIG BIG thank you to everyone who participated in my survey! I collected over 200 responses in about a week's time and I will be presenting your data for my second year talk on Wednesday as well as at a professional conference this summer! I am so grateful to each and every one of you!

In the meanwhile, I've been busy as an overworked bee writing the first draft of my second year paper. I'm still hoping to get it out to my advisor and second reader before I go to bed tonight though it's not in any condition to be submitted formally.

And so this isn't just text:

Maybelline Vanishing Venus


One of the best $1 I've ever spent (the rest of the $4 for the $5 5-set of polishes... eh). Thank you, Ross Dress for less! I had lemminged this for awhile but pretty much gave up on ever finding it. Then there it was, staring me in the face... I love when things work out like this! Maroon base with very obvious teal shimmer that just shines beautifully against the dark base. In lower lights, the shimmer is bluer; in direct sunlight, it lightens to a greenish gold. Very cool polish! Three coats.
