Something Different: Nail Stuff Galore!

Nails, nail galore! Here's a few photos I snapped of recent manicures (ignore my terrible hand and just focus on the nails, lol).

KB Shimmer's 24 Carrot Bold. I got so many compliments and comments on this color! I love these bright shades because they are really fun for summer!

KB Shimmer's Blinded By The Bright. Stunningly yellow, and they are right, VERY bright. I didn't get as much glitter in this manicure as I wanted, but that's okay!

 I painted my mom's fingernails. Not too shabby!

Nail Mail the the other day! (Well 2/3)

• OPI's Save Me: An AMAZING glitter! The pieces are in thin bar shapes; the colors range from green to blue to pink...LOVE this, can't wait to use it!
• Essie's The More The Merrier: I didn't know when I bought this at Target that it's a 2013 Summer shade...absolutely incredible bright green!
• OPI's You're Such a Budapest: a lighter purple, sort of periwinkle even. I just love this shade, it's so pretty!

OPI's My Significant Other Color is the base color on my nails, and Essie's To Buy Or Not To Buy serves as the dots. I have this on right now and love the combo! It's subtle enough to be good for any occasion. Again, another manicure I've had tons of compliments on!

I have been having tons of fun doing my nails all the time, and we even built and finished a homemade polish rack that's in the office (I will have to take a photo when it's not so gloomy outside)!

Currently, I am trying OPI's Nail Envy as my base coat because they are brittle and chip often (even from opening simply packages). It's been about 3 weeks and while they have gotten a bit thicker, I don't know if it has done as much as I thought it would.

Do you have any tips for beginners (I feel like I have asked this before but don't remember)? What polishes are you loving for summer?

Something Different: 30 Days of MoviePass

I know this is a scent/wax/candles/tarts blog, but, for Josh's birthday, I bought him a month's subscription to MoviePass.

To those who are not familiar, MoviePass is a paid subscription service where you have "unlimited" access to 2D-movies. Here's how it works:

• Users can see one 2D-movie a day, every day, until their subscription expires with a limit of one showing per movie. 
• For example, if I wanted to see "The Hangover Part III" twice or in 3-D, I wouldn't be able to. 
• The company sends you a MoviePass "credit card" in the mail a few days after you've registered with their website.
• Upon receiving your card, register it online, then download the MoviePass app on your phone, and begin seeing movies!
• Once you arrive at your destination theater, you must "check-in" on the MoviePass app.
• You have to be within 100 feet of the theater to "check-in," (in the parking lot is where they suggest).
• Find the movie and showtime you wish to see, and reserve your seats to the movie.
• Go inside the theater to the ticket purchasing kiosk, swipe your MoviePass "credit card" (now funded with the cost of one movie ticket), and voila! Easy as pie!

Since we wanted to try it out first before we committed to a year's service, I went with the one-month plan, $49.99/month, per person; if you commit to a year of service, the monthly price drops to about $29.99/month. The reason I am putting the price will become apparent throughout the next month!

Well, waxy friends, Josh and I are on a mission to see 30 movies in 30 days with MoviePass. As frequent movie-goers anyways, we generally limit ourselves to early morning showings because, in our area, tickets are discounted for showings before 12:00pm. Matinee tickets are cheaper than late night showings, but these early morning movies are at least $2-$4 less. And, I want to document our attempt!

My question to you is: would you readers mind and/or hate it if I added movie review posts in with my wax review posts? They would be separate so you could scroll past them if you were not interested, which won't offend me in the slightest! I'll more than likely write these reviews on this blog anyways, but I wanted to let you know and get some input; I really don't want to create another blog! Movies are a big part of our lives, and I thought, why not write about the ones we saw!?

Thoughts? :)
