I contemplated for several days whether I was going to make a post as the fiasco that is Mentality Nail Polish has spun out of control.

Baby R&P

Hey dolls! I just realized that I failed to make one big announcement here when I was providing updates on why I’ve been on hiatus…there’s a baby on the way!

Twinsie Tuesday ~ Nail Polish Collection

Hey dolls! Today’s theme for Twinsie Tuesday was to share our nail polish collection. I haven’t had an accurate count of my stash in quite a few months.
