I want to share a video I created with you guys. From time to time I make videos featuring my rabbits. As some of the older readers know, I have loads of bunnies. The following video showcases a few of the more charismatic ones. If you want to know more, there is a link above in the main navigation bar.

I had a bit of fun with the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. The songs are (in order) Concerning Hobbits (Fellowship), The Dark Rider (Fellowship), and The Adventure Begins (The Hobbit).

The rabbits (in order of appearance): Dale and Chip (about a week old), Gemma, Emma, Chip and Dale (Chip is the brown one, they are 2.5 weeks old), Chip and Dale again at a month old, Gemma, a bunny does not have a name yet because he just showed up in our yard on Christmas Eve (I'm not joking), Zeke, and Iris.

Also, the chihuahua in the video is my mom's dog, Kloe. The two cats in the background is Magic and Olivia. Kali is the booger who swats at Chip. She's harmless. None of the rabbits are afraid of the animals, they're all pretty used to them. No rabbits, cats, or dogs were harmed or scared during the making of this film. Lots of curiosity though.

Hope I added some cute to your Saturday =)

P.S. Zoya is having a promotion where you can get 3 nail polishes for free. All you have to pay is $10 shipping and processing fee. Code: Zoya2013. It officially starts on Monday, and runs until the 13th, but the code works now. Get on it! I already have my three picked out =)

I warn you, lots of cute in this post

Taking a few days off from posting for a bit. Probably until Monday. I'm in a funk where a lot of things aren't working out right. I tried an ombre manicure, and I just failed.

So, to tide you all over, and to not make this post a picture-less one, I want to give you an update on Baby Gandalf, who has a yeast infection. That's right folks, rabbits can have yeast infections. They can also be diabetic. Who knew? We're taking care of him, so no worries about that. On to the pictures!

These pictures are from when he was 2-3 weeks old.

That's his momma, who look nothing alike! I blame genetics. The annoying and recessive part of genetics. Her name is Tea Cup.

Meet Baby Gandalf!

This is the youngest member over here. He is so cute! You will be seeing him a lot. He sleeps upside down. Such a chubby cuttie-pie. He is not asleep in the picture, his eyes aren't open yet. Yes he is in my July Julep Maven box, no I am not posting about it. =)

 I can tell he's comfortable with me though. I pick him up, and he doesn't squirm anymore like most of the babies do. Color, I *think* is Lilac. I'm having issues figuring it out. It's not what it's supposed to be, genetics wise, let's just say that. You guys are probably so lost. In an attempt to not make that worse, this is where I say toodles! Hope you all are enjoying your Saturday, I have Ikea and apartment looking on the agenda.

Bye bye!

P.S. My husband named him Gandalf, and I added the "Baby" in front. If his color ends up being Lilac, he will be Gandalf the Lilac. So cheesy, I know right?

Sick Days

Well folks, playing outside with the rabbits has finally hit me. I am allergic to them, and having a little less than 30 out there can really play with my allergies. I love them though, and I don't think I'll ever get rid of them. I can't imagine life without rabbits. I will suffer with a sinus cold for the love of the fluff, I suppose.

M.A.S.H. on Tv (TV Land), Dia Frampton playing over that (such an energy waster!), and painting a french manicure on my nails, with A Great and Terrible Beauty sitting to my right, waiting to be read. That is how I'm spending Thursday. So this blog post isn't entirely boring, I will share some pictures of cuteness. I must warn you though, we're about to hit a cuteness overload!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I am off to make some Chicken Noodle Soup and then go lay down while watching the special features of Breaking Dawn (really want to know exactly how they did "dying Bella"). Toodles!

A little bit of bunny for you

Some talk

Well, I just spent a good part of the last hour updating the layout of the blog. I like it!!! I may make the background more pink, but we shall see. I like the lack of color. It makes the focus more on the nail polish, which is where it ought to be.

In blabber type news, I lost my Seche Vite..... in my house..... in my bedroom.. I think. Seriously, I am in the process of tidying up, reorganizing, and just plain cleaning in there. As tradition would hold true, something i love near and dear would magically poof. *sigh* Looks like I need to go out and buy a new one. Currently I am going on an anit-top code binge. The OPI top coat makes me mad. I always bubbles on me! No matter now long I wait, if that color is just a teensy bit wet, it will bubble. I don't like it.... Nope, not one bit.

I more off of the nail topic news I can't WAIT for my refund for my school to come in. Spencer is getting breaks for his truck, my trip to North Carolina will be payed for, I will have money to buy a chunk of the new OPI Holland collection, and I think I will treat myself to a new purse. I used to be a purse addict, but my dislike of Vera Bradley (the designer I lived in during high school) has grown and I need non-Vera purses. I am currently up to 2. A Nine West I LOVE and bought a few months ago, and a huge Converse bag that I got my senior year of HS. It hold my school stuff nicely. Oh babble.

I also think I am going to dabble into some off topic reviews!!! I am using this new foundation that I am in LOVE with. It's nothing fancy, but oh my goodness is it doing my skin wonders. I always heard Neutrogena was one of the best at skin clearing acne (I have very, very oily skin. As in it does not get dry during really cold northern winter weather). I decided to trust this and buy this gem: SkinClearing Liquid Foundation. It makes me smile =). I don't know if I will actually do a review, it depends. I still have soooo many nail polish posts to do. It just depends I suppose.

So this post isn't all words, let me grace you with some bunny photos.

Till next time, toodles!!!!

ETA: The rabbits in this picture are the same ones as the one in this video: http://polishadore.blogspot.com/2011/12/just-little-comething-to-brighten-your.html

Their names are Ashelia, Yuffie, and Penelo. <-- I'm such a nerd!

Just a little something to brighten your day =)

Home, and a great find

My trip to Indianapolis is over. What was I doing there, you may ask.

Oh nothing, just a little bit of this:

While I was there, we decided to go downtown, and go into a mall. We were almost ready to leave, when I see a "spend $25, get one free OPI nail polish" or something like that. Guess what I did! Yup, I was sucked in by the deal, and had no idea how good it actually was! I ended up getting this much:

From left to right: OPI: Planks A Lot, Dulce De Leche, Skull & Glossbones, Steady As She Rose, Essie Adore-A-Ball. My mom gave me money to get her one too, which is why the total was more.

I walked into Trade Secret wanting only two colors; Planks A Lot, and I was torn between Skull & Glossbones and Steady As She Rose. I haven't seen the Pirates of the Caribbean collection for a few months, and was happy that they had it there, but sad that there was no Mermaid Tears. I pick up SASR, and walk over to the table where they had stuff for sale. I found Tweezerman Brow Gell, and a box of mini nail files for $2 each, AND Adore-A-Ball for $1. Oh my goodness!! I keep looking, and there are the other two colors I waned, SASR and S&G for 50% off each. I put the original SASR back, and picked up these two lovelies and took my happy little butt to the counter. The sales lady then tells me that I can get a free OPI nail polish!!! I was so overwhelmed, so I went for the pretty redish, greyish, pink; Dulce De Leche. Oh was I happy!

I was so excited for Adore-A-Ball. It's what this blog is named after, and a color I've been wanting, but haven't actually gotten around to actually buying. Now it's mine =).

Buys buys buys

I went a little.... overboard. So much nail polish!!! To the average junkie, this wont seem like a lot. But, considering how much I bought VS what I was actually on the hunt for, it's a lot. I heard about the Essie Raise Awareness nail polish, and that it would be sold in salons and at Ulta.com. Me, not putting 2 and 2 together, I went to Ulta thinking that I would only be getting nail polish from the new Essie Cocktail Bling collection. Silly me, there was Raise Awareness right next to the new collection. Snagged that one up real quick. I also looked at the new collection, only bought one; Cocktail Bling. The red one, Size Matters, wasn't as red as I expected, and Bangle Jangle had this weird purple liquid at the top that I could not shake or mix for the life of me! No matter how hard I tired, it wouldn't mix. So, I went to Target thinking that it would be out. Silly me, my Target is so slow!!! No new collection. But, I did still manage to walk out with 2 new nail polishes, Essie Case Study, and OPI I Want To Be A-Lone Star. Also, the ORLY minis (along with loads of other varnishes) were by 2 get 1 free at Ulta, so I decided that I wanted Lolipop, and a really bright true orange for Halloween, and them my husband picked up a sparkly red which had the name rubbed off of it. What is it with men and red?

I do plan on going to CVS later today to see if I can hunt down 2 of the new collection colors. Not sure which ones, but I'm limiting my self to 2.


On with the pictures!!!! Cause that's what you really want to see.

L to R: Orly Star Spangled (I think), Orly Hola (♥ the name), OrlyLillipop, Essie Raise Awareness, Essie Case Study, Essie Cocktail Bling, and OPI I Want To Be A-Lone Star

Some close ups:

I have a lot of posts lined up in the next few days:
A Essie Raise Awareness/French Affair comparison/review
Re-organizing my "the now box"
A comparison of the "drugstore" vs "salon" Essie bottles - They're different!
Matte Avon nail polish review/ comparison

So much!!! Ok, see you guys later, and expect an update soon! Also, don't be surprised if I throw in another "nail polish buy" post today or tomorrow :D
