“Purchased by me”. That’s right, this nail polish was bought exactly 13 years ago this month, as highlighted in my haul post. While I did share a swatch back then, I took the photo in near darkness during my inaugural week as a beauty blogger, completely unaware of the importance of lighting! At that time, photography was secondary; my blog felt more like a personal diary. Reflecting on those early posts fills me with nostalgia, recalling my late 20s and the endless possibilities of the beauty world. Back then, I could write about anything—from my latest purchases to my outfits and meals. Today, social media platforms like IG stories and TikTok dominate, transforming our storytelling into quicker snapshots rather than leisurely narratives.

Can you sense the blend of nostalgia and joy as I present better photos of this purple nail polish? It takes me back to the excitement of starting my blog, particularly thinking about that first apartment where I coined the name “Cosmetic Proof.” I vividly remember my inaugural Christmas when I may have bought every single Revlon Lip Butter available and decorated my Christmas tree with them! October, the month I began my blogging journey, is truly the pinnacle of beauty, showcasing spectacular Halloween collections that always capture my heart. Each year, I look forward to those vibrant and creative releases that inspire my makeup looks.
While the Fantasy Makers collections are still being released, I’ve noticed that the color ranges have changed, and the prices of drugstore makeup have climbed significantly. It’s astonishing to see drugstore foundations priced over $20! However, I still appreciate the thoughtful design of this nail polish cap; its flat shape allows for better brush control, making application seamless. As I wear two coats of this lovely polish, I can’t help but admire the delicate purple shimmer that catches the light beautifully, adding a touch of elegance to my nails.
I sincerely hope that everyone enjoyed a delightful Thanksgiving weekend, surrounded by loved ones or simply savoring a well-deserved extra day of relaxation! Cherishing these moments is essential, especially as they offer a chance to unwind and reflect on the joys of life.
