The Week In Review: January 20-26, 2013

Happy Sunday everyone!  Hope you've had a nice weekend so far!  This has been a fun week on The Lacquerologist full of nail art, indies, some new spring pastels from butter LONDON, and a gorgeous new Priti NYC collection!  The big news of the week would have to be my entry into the NUB CLUB!  Check out the collage below for a reminder of all the fun!  Links are provided to each post in the list below! =)

And here's my new nubs showing off the Priti NYC Orient Express Collection!  I was nervous to do it, but I'm glad I did.  I'm sure there are some out there that prefer them longer (and no one said I won't grow them out again someday), but I've gotten nothing but super positive feedback from readers and friends!  And, just so you know, there will still be posts with my long nails because I have some in the vault that are scheduled for the next few weeks.  So don't be alarmed that we'll bounce back and forth a bit for a while!  And of course, I am thrilled about this Priti NYC Collection...my current favorite brand for sure! =)

I also wanted to just make a quick note of something and I figured this would be a good place to do it:  I received a comment on my butter LONDON Sweetie Shop post from an anonymous commenter, and unfortunately it seems like Disqus ate it because it is not showing up on the blog post, but I got the email saying it came through.  The person suggested that my review of the Sweetie Shop lacquers was sort of critical because I hadn't paid for the polishes (they were sent for review).  I want you guys to know that I approach each review with an open mind and whether it was provided for review or not, that never affects what I say about the product.  I'm not afraid to say that I feel something isn't holding up to my expectations or the claims of the product, even if it was provided in exchange for an honest review.  I always try to be positive, but when I think that something is sub-par, I am going to share it with you all!  Please see my Disclosure page for more information!  Thanks! <3
