Greetings from (now) sunny Novato! — home of the most intense hailstorm I’ve experienced in years.
No joke. Last night around 3 in the morning, I awoke to the most frightening sound! A roar of thunder that shook my world to its foundation (and must have terrified Tabs), and then a deafening tick-tack-tack sound from what I quickly realized was hail pelting the house.
It wasn’t raining when I went to bed last night, but the storm must have blown in from the ocean some time after midnight. El Hub said he was awake for a little while before the thunderous boom that jolted me awake, laying there with his eyes closed. He saw the flash of lightning through his closed eyelids, and then the counting, 1-2-3, before the big boom. Three miles from the heart of the storm.
SCARY!
Anywho, the weather looks pretty good now, both here and in the Balearic Islands (in case you were wondering). Partly cloudy and mid-sixties? I’ll take that, and to go with it, swatches of the three Nail Colours from the new Becca Balearic Love collection, $15 each. 🙂
The first thing I noticed about these polishes — I mean, after the colors — is how thick they are. Two coats deliver full coverage.
I really like the wide brush! It just sweeps over the nail, covering such a large area that I only need about three swipes per layer.
I’m still testing for wear time, but so far so good. Here are some swatches to whet your appetite.
Wine Red
Sandy Nude
Black Plum
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Holy crap with the weather! My mom ran into my room all freaked out about it. I was still awake but she still scared the crap out of me worse than the storm. hahaha!
Sandy Nude is perfect. In lust with it.
Wine red is so pretty!
Sandy Nude is gorgeous! 🙂
I’m so excited that black is back for spring this year! 😀
Hmm I like Wine Red! It has this nice jelly quality that I find interesting 🙂
It HAILED here for 20 minutes yesterday afternoon, and of course I had to choose to leave my house and collect a parcel 2 minutes before it started. Little ice cubes got into my boots! Not my favorite kind of weather.
The Wine Red is divine 🙂
That nude is really pretty – all three are, in fact!
Oh my goodness, I was JUST on the Becca website checking out these nail colors and the shadows they used in their newest ad bc I’m obsessed with the smokey eye palette! But I also loved the polishes and was wondering what that black plum might look like! You always deliver swatches that are on my mind, thank you thank you!
