as promised..

here's my new bottle of opi nail polish and it's called my private jet. it kinda made me feel happy knowing about the name. actually, i am quite biased in that way. i tend to look at the color first but pay more attention when it comes to the name. if i don't like the name, i always put the bottle down straight away.. am i the only one who do this?

just so you know, the color is much darker in real life. and it's more purple than brown. but i guess it all depends on your skin color. i'm pale.. so maybe that's why the purple comes out more. because i've seen the nail polish on other people through the web, and it looks super dark brown on them.


anyways, the giveaway is still open right now. you can still enter by leaving a comment on the post. the feedback has been great and i can't wait to announce the winner in a couple of days!!

and the doodle below is what i've been feeling lately. letting go of any aspect of your life, in a way that you are not obsessively attached to it, is a good thing. i'm not saying that you should give up on your life and just aim carelessly. what i'm saying is.. letting go of things in your life will allow you to be able to survive with or without it. i hope i'm making sense. i'm just writing from the heart. that's all.

That is such a pretty color nailposish, I don't really have a brownish color, but I tend to "mix" a lot and have made one that way. First a layer of yellow and then of H&M's goldie pink, it turned out into this lovely brown with orangy glow.

I get what you mean with the letting go. Especially with the bad stuff of course, but that's always the hardest. It can be a good thing with the nice stuff too, to put yourself first, instead of the things you do or have, so you can be happy in any circumstances.

Oh this quote is everything I'm struggling with at the moment. It's so damn hard to let go someone.

That's so weird! I was shopping the other day and saw that polish. I fell in love with the name and decided it would be my next polish purchase. But I'm just like you, even if I love the color, if it has a bad or boring name its going straight back on the shelf. So you're not alone!

Ahh! I'm so glad you said that, I'm the exact same way about the names of things. I was looking for a grey nail polish a few weeks ago, and I was so excited when the name of the color I picked up was 'Queen of Everything'. Even though no one else will ever know the name of my nail color, it makes me smile to look down.

(I've also been known to judge a book by it's cover. [literally, not figuratively :)] I'm trying to get better about that.)

I'm guilty of looking at a color liking it and then being disappointed by the name. I know what you mean!!

I always enjoy your doodles! Your quotes are enjoyable! Hope you have an amazing weekend!

No..you are NOT the only one that does this...so do I! If I don't like the color...I put it down. This is my first time commenting...but I love your blog and your doodles!! They often time, make my day :)

tiny twig said...

totally understand and agree about letting go.

also, names are very very very important in my cosmetics search. :)

i'm addicted to reading polish titles too. (i have a colour in my collection similar to this one and it became an unexpected favourite! mines more on the gray side than brown though)

sandzzie said...

yes... it is so fitting for me these days... i love it! letting go and being free =)

Alexis Mullino said...

I'm going to be painting my nails with that same color tonight. :)
