Bettina Fiori Collection Swatches

It's Friday....

  But it doesn't much feel like one.... I've been having a rough week. I know it's usually all farts and Sunshine around here but... Truth? I struggle with depression and anxiety. There's days, sometimes weeks, where just the thought getting out of bed makes me want to curl up and disappear. I know I've never opened up about this before because I didn't even know how to approach it or put it out there. It needed to be addressed.... I am a ball of insecurity and awkwardness. I constantly shut down because it is easier than trying to be happy. I don't really have many friends and that is just fine.
  I present myself to be a very happy person but ultimately I am very insecure and indifferent towards most things. If I have no expectations, I can't be disappointed (I realize that's not a healthy way of thinking). I started blogging as a way to focus my energy on something positive and that I enjoy. The past few weeks have been nothing short of an emotional roller coaster from Hell and I can't shake this bad funk I am in.... "Funk" doesn't even sound like the right word at this point... Most of the time I find myself trying to force "it". What is "it"? Well... Everything... I don't want to quit blogging but I constantly find myself reassessing my dedication. I'm in a dark place and I might need a break... I hate to put this out there but it was eating away at me and not entirely helping my situation.

  That being said here are swatches of Bettina's Fiori Collection. A huge thanks for my friend Wanda for  sending these my way!

Needless to say I am not feeling very chatty today so I will literally let the pictures to the talking for this post. The Fiori collection is available now. This is a floral themed collection. The names are flower names in Spanish. 

Bettina Gladiola

Bettina Orchidea

 Orchidea. Two coats.

Bettina Ortencia

 Ortencia. Two coats.

Bettina Glacinto

 Glacinto. Two coats.

Bettina Tulipani

 I think it goes without saying that I really do love this collection. It feels more Spring than Summer but it kinda came out in between Seasons so it can go both ways. I love this collection because when you put all the colors together it looks very Sanrio- Hello Kitty and I love anything Hello Kitty. As usual the formlas were creamy perfection. Again a huge thanks to lovely Wanda for finding these for me!

Thanks for stopping by.
