Nail Files {7/6/12} & Bauble Swap Reveal

Thank god it's Friday. Even with the day off Wednesday it still didn't feel right, I would have preferred a Monday or Friday off, in 2 years we will get a Friday off for 4th of July so that's something to look forward to. Well today I am linking up with the fabulous ladies {Vicki} and {Tara} for the Nail Files. 

With the 4th of July this week, I wanted to do some festive nails, but knew I cannot draw any sort of design or anything. I decided to keep it simple, but in doing so I have gotten numerous compliments from the bank lady, coworkers, patients, and even doctors! It didn't take me long to do and it looks great on.

{5} NYC long wearing nail enamel in starry silver glitter

{6} Sally Hansen insta-dri anti-chip top coat

Next I wanted to reveal my swap partner for the Bauble swap I participated in with the lovely host {Shanna}! She was so awesome to host this swap and I had a blast shopping for my partner, {Jamie}. Check out her post to see what I got her! When I got my package in the mail I was so excited to see what she got for me and who doesn't love a fun surprise in the mail?! Well when I opened it up I was more than pleased with my goodies!!

Bauble Swap

So the first thing I got is a beautiful coral necklace that I have already worn out twice! It is the perfect summer accessory and it dresses up any outfit!!! Perfect statement necklace to add to my jewelry collection, I know I will be wearing this so many more times. 

{Jamie} also brought it for the arm party. She got me some amazing bangles that again, I've already worn a few times. They are the perfect colors to wear with my gold NY&C watch with different textures too.

I am so so happy with my goodies and I don't think {Jamie} could have picked better pieces for me. I am so happy that I participated in this awesome swap and there is still time to sign up, July 15th is the deadline so if you have been thinking about it I highly suggest it. Not only is it a great way to meet a new blogger buddy, but you get some goodies while shopping for someone else (which for me is the best part).
