On My Nails: Orly Artificial Sweetener

I've been doing a bit of shopping lately, and I came across Orly's Artificial Sweetner for $4 at Marshall's. Quite the steal. I used to overlook Orly in the store, but after using this one, I knew I wanted to try some more. This color in particular is a great neutral pink. In the sunlight it looks a bit brighter at times, but it still isn't overwhelming. You may be able to tell in a few of the pictures, but it can look kind of mauve-y at times as well. I gravitate towards pinks anyway, but I love that this one is a bit more neutral. I think it's going to be a great everyday color for me.


Not crazy about the name, but I see where they're coming from.

I love the formula of these polishes, as well as the brush! The handle has a nice rubber grip, which doesn't make for the cutest packaging, but it's really practical. Although I'm a fan of the bigger brushes for painting my nails, this one doesn't bother me at all. It applies the polish very well.

Thanks to Marissa's advice on my last nail post, I think I've solved the bubbly nail issue. I think I might do a whole post dedicated to how I fixed the problem. It's a simple solution, but I'm very happy that it worked!

I always love hearing your nail polish recommendations! Are there any more from Orly that you think I should try?

Photo Friday

Instead of sharing some of my own photos this Friday, I thought I'd show you guys a few that have been inspiring me lately. I spend a lot of time on my computer and look through a lot of random websites, so I often come across something that I love.


I found this picture here on Pinterest a while ago and fell in love. I love the color & I adore peonies. This is currently my phone background, and it makes me so very happy.



Last semester I took a film director course about Hitchcock, and Rear Window became one of my favorite movies out of the bunch. I'm a sucker for anything behind the scenes, so when I saw it in this Buzzfeed article, I had to save it.



I never ever get tired of seeing Eiffel Tower pictures. I came across this website that posts about Paris every single day, so now I can feed my addiction daily.



Jenna Fischer retweeted this picture and it just about broke my heart. Yesterday I watched this video which is an hour and 45 minutes of The Office bloopers. An hour and 45 minutes... worth it, but what is my life.



I guess this isn't exactly a photo, and I'm sure you've seen this quote way too much, but I love it. I think I'm a pretty patient person but sometimes it's hard to imagine your hard work paying off. This is a nice reminder. If you are a bit of a quote junkie like me, here is a site you will love.



This is by far my favorite picture I've seen all week. I just about lost it when Taylor & Ed tweeted about the new video release. It is too, too cute. I saw this photo on Instagram, and this fan site. You can also watch the new video of Everything Has Changed here (I highly recommend you do).

That is all for this Photo Friday. I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful weekend!
