This one is from the 2009 OPI holiday collection, and I remember it being super popular. It's a pretty close dupe for China Glaze Ruby Pumps, but less sparkly. As you can see from the second picture, there's gold glitter in the bottle that shows up as red on the nail beneath the blue-based red jelly base. The glitter looks like it's glowing in low light, and in artificial and sunlight it positively explodes with sparkle. I used two coats here. Also, this polish has probably the cutest name ever.
I wore Smitten With Mittens for a couple days on its own. Then I sponged on some China Glaze Party Hearty, the epitome of holiday glitters.
On Friday a package from Modcloth arrived with presents for me from Ben. For absolutely no reason. My fiance spoils me. This is one of the things he got me.
Isn't it just the cutest thing ever? The pendant is only about the size of two pennies, so it's very dainty. He also got me this skirt, which I've been wanting for years.
Anyway, I finished all of my papers. They could use a quick read-through before I turn them in, but they're all finished, footnoted, with images, bibliographies, etc. Ahead of schedule. I have a presentation on Thursday--perfect excuse for new skirt-wearing--and then two exams next week. Then I'm outta here.
Okay, that's all. Anyone else pulling out the holiday polishes?

I've wanted Smitten with Mittens for the longest time. It's so pretty! And I love it with Party Hearty. And that's such a cute necklace!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could find this one on ebay pretty easily!
DeleteThanks!
Great polish, and such a cute pendant!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWhen I saw that cute pendant, I immediately thought,"A Venn diagram!" It really needs to say "you & me" in the overlap -- but it's still cute, anyway!
ReplyDeleteI think it's supposed to be a Venn diagram, yes. I think having it say "us" in the middle would be nice, but it might look a little cluttered with text that way because it's so small.
DeleteYou too are the cutest =) Love the pendant and the polish =)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your presentation/exams! I'm almost done here as well.
*two. brain is dead.
DeleteMy brain is also dead. Good luck to you, too!
DeleteI thought about the Venn diagram, too! Too cute. wear it in good health, and best of luck on your presentation!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Pretty nervous about it.
DeleteTHat does look like Ruby Pumps-thought it was for a minute! You are a very lucky girl-your fiance sounds like he treats you well which is how it should be. Am a little jealous since I'm being messaged by losers on my online dating adventure. Again I ramble-sorry!
ReplyDeleteYeah I've seen comparisons and I'm pretty sure the base is the same, Ruby Pumps just has more glitter.
DeleteI love reading your dating stories. I hope you find someone! I know you will. There are just a lot of jerks out there.
I'm flattered you even know about my blog and actually read it!!!! Yours was one of the first and still my fave of all! There's a new one in the works-we shall see!
Deletesmitten is a beautiful color once i take my gel polish off i will be replacing it with a glittery red
ReplyDeleteGlittery reds are perfect for the holidays :)
DeleteSuper cute combo! Grats on getting all the papers done! Amazing fiance gifts!
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion; you are awesome. :D
Haha, thanks!
