Happy Weekend everyone! This is my final weekend before going back to work and I'm trying my best to enjoy it thoroughly. So far it's been a really nice week. On Thursday we finally settled on a crib and my MIL footed the bill as promised. We ended up choosing the Munire Capri Curve Crib in white because it really looked like a crib for a princess, and will later convert into a bed for one too. We got her a super luxe expensive mattress as well, thank you MIL for your CC! Early Friday I got my Secret Santa gift package that consisted of some drugstore favorites, Ulta exclusive OPI minis, China Glaze holiday minis, and a bunch of pampering products. What a wonderful Secret Santa I had!! I love participating in these exchanges because it's so nice to spoil someone who has a similar love for polish. I finished off the week with a wonderful Italian lunch with DH and LO. I couldn't have asked for more.
To match my content and happy mood, today I have Smitten Polish Merry & Bright to show you. This is my first time using this indie line and I was really drawn to the color combination of this holiday polish - it's a strawberry pink jelly base infused with gold microglitter and larger hex glitter. I found the formula to be excellent and easy to apply despite having so much glitter in it. The glitter spread out evenly on the nail and I didn't need to fish or dab it on at all. I used two coats in these pictures but being a jelly, I probably should have used three to get more opacity. I think I stopped at two because I was worried that there would be too much glitter. I finished the mani with a layer of topcoat to smooth it down. I could have used some Gelous to get an even smoother finish.

I sort of wish that the new reformulated
Hare A Positive and Smitten Merry & Bright had a baby, because I think that would be a HG polish for me. Still, I really enjoyed wearing this polish and I'm excited about trying more polishes from this line.
