Finally United with China Glaze Grape Pop!

See, I told you I can't stay away too long. I may be able to make posts later at night when my parents go back to their hotel. Anyways, I can't for the life of me remember what got me crazed about Grape Pop. One thing I do know is that I was that I needed it. If you followed me on Twitter a few months ago you may have seen my less than sane tweets about my dire need for Grape Pop.

I was at a stand still though. At the time I was really only lemming Grape Pop, and thought it wouldn't be very practical to place an order with an e-tailer for one polish + shipping. My local Sally's didn't have it in stock anymore either. I then went on a rampage to find a dupe of Grape Pop. I got OPI Funky Dunky and I got Sally's Girl Your Majesty. They weren't exact dupes, but it was one of those lemmings I couldn't squash until I had the real thing. Well, that day has come my friends....Grape Pop and I have been united. :P Life can go on ...hehe

Isn't she lovely? Grape Pop is a blue-violet med-dark creme. I loves cremes like this that come in non-traditional colors. It's funky and different. I overall love this color!!! :) I think my love for it comes from being a kid. I always loved this shade of purple. I remember when I first started using the internet and AOL chat I always used this color font to type in.

That's it for today. My parents arrived this afternoon. We went out to lunch and did some shopping. We went to Big Lots which was a HUGE disappointment they had little to no makeup there. I ended up getting one Wet N Wild polish. We then went to this store Aldi it's a very odd type of grocery store. It's kind of like Costco or Sams but 1/3rd of the size. They had their own brand of make up there. They had nail polish but only 5 standard colors. I ended up getting 2 because they were cheap and I wanted to try them out. You'll be seeing that stuff in the future!

Happy Monday!

  5. LMAO! I totally forgot you were lemming that big time. I remember when you were going through lacquers looking for dupes and never feeling satisfied. Its like craving a piece of chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting....going to get a snack wells devilsfood cookie will not cut it. I'm glad you got your real chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting (I'm totally making myself hungry, lol).

    And I'm glad your having a fabulous time with your parents.

  8. Aldi is a European chain of supermarkets (German, I'm pretty sure, but I forget). We have quite a lot of them in Oz.

    I am not actually really wanting any creme colours right now, but when I do go back to cremes, I'm definitely getting Grape Pop. Been eyeing it for a while... :)

    But oh Lord! That cleanup! (or lack thereof) Around your nail! :O

    Why aren't your parents staying with you? They don't want to be a burden? Lol.
