NAILS | Deborah Lippmann "Do the Mermaid" Swatch and Chat

I honestly don't know how I got here to the end of this week/end of the month. It has been an odd week at work with it being both busy and not. It has all been a bit of a blur as there has been a ton of construction and visits from various people. Mentally, I have been feeling really ugly on the outside and bored with my workwear so this past week I have made an effort to dress up more and wear designer pumps and actual blazers to feel more "boss woman"! The past two years, the work dress code has relaxed a little bit and now we are allowed to wear cardigans instead of blazers (yay!) which was something I took FULL advantage of as sometimes I feel very restrained or hot in a blazer especially in the summer. The thing is, there definitely is something much more professional looking about wearing a blazer so I've been wearing all of my blazers again this past week with heels and it actually has made me feel better. I plan on going through my clothing this weekend and organizing it for Big Brother to pick up so I'm hoping I keep up the momentum!

This polish is an untried one and has been so for I wanna say like 10 years??! I picked it up when Deborah Lippmann was all the rage and "Mermaid's Tears" was the best thing since sliced bread! She ended up doing a "mermaid series" so in addition to picking up "Mermaid's Tears", I picked up this little number - Do the Mermaid"! I have on here two coats which was pretty perfect, but to be honest I think the original "Mermaid's Tears" was the best one out of the group!

Back to talking about myself now (ha!), I managed to score a three-day weekend which I booked off a month ago for a friend's 40th birthday party. The party is on Saturday, but I knew that I would be too tired to do anything else other than party, so Friday is going to be errand day and Sunday will be the day my husband and I organize junk pickup as we are doing a massive apartment redesign! This involves a lot of beauty clean up on my end as we need to move out a lot of furniture and right now, my beauty products are sort of all over the floor...

Happy Friday everyone! It will be May on Sunday and I can't believe how quickly summer will be here!
