Essie Holiday '13 Gift Set

I hope everyone enjoyed the Holidays with great food, family and friends! Even though Christmas may be over, the holiday mood is still in full effect, so I thought I'd make a quick post about the Essie Holiday '13 gift set. I was at a Target when I spotted this beautiful set and needed to have it! //truth be told, it was a potential gift for someone but I got them something else = win win// It retailed for about $15 and carries five of Essie's most popular and sought after colors. They are smaller in size (compared to a regular Essie polish) - but it is completely worth it if you want to test out some seriously dynamic nail colors. They were definitely opaque and carry the right amount of color variation you would need to start a collection, or expand on one. I am obsessed with painting my nails frequently and I give this set an A+, so if you can still find this, I'd snatch it up to have options for a New Year's party!

Third Time's A Charm

*Waves like a 7 year old seeing their best friend across the street on the first day of school* I've had a couple of different posts to put up but it has been pretty hard to just focus on writing it down, and to be honest I gave myself a mini-heartattack thinking that I might lose all my eye sight by the time I'm 25 because of how much I'm on the computer every single day. 

If I'm being even more truthful, the holidays are upon us and all I want to do is lounge around, binge on Netflix, drink the occasionally cliche hot chocolate and cuddle with my cats. But I thought it was time to buckle down and put up a new post because that's what I love doing.

This year I've seen plenty of "Holiday Wishlists" // "Holiday Gift Guides" floating around blogs and I really took a moment to be selfish and think about what I wanted. Surprisingly enough, clothes/bags/makeup (things I automatically can list off) did not pop into my head. I think in the past couple months I have purchased anything that could have been on my "want/need" list, from those categories at least. I did, however, come up with three categories that have three items in each I've got my eye on - you can click on the links below the images if you like what you see and want to know where to get it.
What's on your list?
