I Love My Sister! Windestine Sister's Day

Hey everybody!  Did you know that Sunday, August 4 is National Sister's Day?  Me neither...that is, I didn't have any idea until a couple of months ago.  And I have just the perfect polish for the occasion!   But first, indulge me a bit while I tell you about how great it is to have a sister. <3

I have mentioned my sister Melanie a few times before on my blog.  She is 3 years younger than me, 3 inches taller, and has red hair, but still a lot of people think we're twins.  We were always best buds growing up.  As a matter of fact, we didn't have many other friends because we were each other's best friend, and we had way more fun together than we could EVER have had with anybody else.  To quote Ashley Wilkes in Gone With the Wind, "She's part of my blood, and we understand each other."  Scary! :P


Mel and I only live 3 and a half miles apart.  We have always had about 92% of the same interests.  We sing together and perform in dramas together.  We even say the same things at the same time!  Sound too perfectly Little House on the Prairie?  Well, it's the best to have a sister like that! :)


So in honor of Sister's Day, I wanted to show you a gorgeous Windestine creation of the same name!

Windestine Sister's Day

Lovely Freda of Windestine describes Sister's Day as " tiny pink hearts among periwinkle, pastel purple and pastel yellow hex glitter in various sizes. This polish was created to celebrate sisters everywhere!"





I layered 2 coats of Sister's Day over 2 coats of L'Oreal Pistachio Dream.  The result was a lovely and feminine look that brings to mind playing dolls and dress-up...things that remind me of growing up with my little sister.


Aren't the pink hearts cute?  I got at least one with every brush dip into the bottle!  :D



Sister's Day is a fun and sweet glitter that I really love.  I've never been a big fan of heart glitter, but in this instance, it seems lovingly appropriate. :)

So this National Sister's Day, if you have a sister, tell her how great she is!  My sister Melanie was one of the best presents God ever gave me. <3

Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day! :)
