Haze Glaze Fairy Dust & Blog Updates

Hi dolls, I wasn't quite ready to remove RBL Scrangie, so I decided to layer Haze Glaze Fairy Dust over it. Haze Glaze is a purple jelly glitter bomb that is filled with mini holographic glitter, purple, pink, silver, turquoise, white hexagonal glitter in various sizes and iridescent bar glitter. The glitter was very dense and I only had difficulty getting the large hex glitter out. One coat was used and it dries to a gritty finish. A couple of layers of top coat are probably needed to smooth things out. 
Fairy Dust was so hard to photograph! Hopefully you can get the gist from these pictures. I moved out of my glitter comfort zone with this purchase and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't hate it, but I think I would like it more without the bar glitter. If you're into glitter bombs, this one is definitely for you.

Now for the blog updates. For my long term readers, you all know that I'm a speech-language pathologist and I'm finishing up a doctoral program. My studies are nearing the end and my dissertation defense is less than a month away on June 26. I've done a pretty good job of balancing and continuing to blog during this time, but I'll be taking some time off over the rest of the month to prepare for my defense. I don't typically swatch polishes, so I don't have tons of photos in a vault waiting to be shared. Most times, I'm blogging about what I'm wearing currently or what was just removed. No worries though because I've contacted several polish friends who will be preparing guest posts throughout this period. Maybe I'll try to get 1 or 2 posts in, but I won't make any promises. I hope that you all enjoy the guest posts that are lined up. Feel free to leave comments for them as well!

Happy weekend!

This is glitter-tastic. Congrats on the degree. Good luck. Speech therapists do amazing work. Regardless of the population they choose to work with. :)

Crossing my fingers and sending you good vibes for that defense! Congrats on completing your degree, it's a great accomplishment. :) (My parents want me to study speech pathology, haha. Or not.)

KayJay, Wow---you've come a long, long way to get to the end of your doctoral degree (I'm a dentist, so I know of what I speak, pardon the pun)! Congratulations and the best of luck in your career. Consider yourself one tough cookie, and throw one BIG party to celebrate after the 26th! ;)

KJ -My best thoughts going to you as you get ready for your PhD thesis defense. I went through it in microbacteriology now eons ago. Had attended a lot of them before mine & that helped a lot. My questions all came along lines I felt very comfy responding to, much like teaching a class and responding to student questions I found. We will 'see ya back here' when you have time.
