Blue My Mind: Because I’m Graduating

 

 

I am graduating in 8 days.

Like many other college seniors this time of year, graduation is upon me and I am so excited and freaking out at the same time.  I mean who wouldn’t be excited to finally be done with 16 years of school and ready to take on the real world? And before you ask, yes I am excited and so ready to start the next chapter of my life, but it is also very bitter sweet. Four years of college have flown by way too fast. It feels like I blinked and it was over. These are just some of the thoughts that I had while opening my commencement materials today. I sat on my bed looking at the blue part of the gown that represents my univeristy and thought what better way to celebrate the last 4 years than to paint my nails blue.

A few days ago I was in CVS and happened to notice that if you bought $12 worth of Sally Hansen products, you got $5 extra care bucks. Needless to say you did not have to tell me twice. It was the perfect excuse to buy new nail polish (not that there ever isn’t one); because lately I had been craving a bright blue manicured finger; which is why I setteled on “Blue My Mind“. This is the perfect blue for summer, and satisfied my blue nail craving. Typically I am not one for shimmery nail polishes, but I love this one! The shimmer reminds me of subtle waves rocking up onto the shore line at the beach on a hot summer day.

Sally Hansen nail products are some of my favorite beacause they are excellent quality and have a wide range of prices depending on what you get. “Blue My Mind” is $7.99 at CVS, but Sally Hansen also has nail polish for about $5 a bottle, you know because sometimes we are ballin’ on a budget. I had to spend $12 so I also picked up the Dries Instantly top coat which works fabulously. I noticed that when I used it, my nails went from wet to compltely dry; without that awkward sticky phase in between. This was well worth the $5.49 which results in a 30 second dry. Another reason why I love Sally Hansen is because yes I did get two nail polishes for $12…WHEN does that ever happen?!?!

 

 

As always stay classy, fabulous and polished
