Practical Magic

I’ll admit that to me, Practical Magic is a Sandra Bullock movie. I know, I know. The cast also has greats like Stockard Channing and Nicole Kidman too. I promise I love them as well. But over all I’ve loved more of Sandra Bullock’s movies and characters so she tends to be the actress I remember first if she’s in a movie. Like…I will literally pull up Two Weeks Notice to only watch the salad eating scene even though most of that movie is just very problematic to me now. Yes, I am weird, but also my spouse knows to give me the pickled onions from his salad when they give him more than he can take.

(Pickled onions are so good though. I make my favorite pickled red onions with this recipe from Simply Recipes.)

Somehow this mani managed to be nothing but trouble for me. I kept stamping the words on the thumb upside down. (Three separate tries.) And for whatever reason I used the one stamper that picks up well but has a strange texture to it that ended up making my witches hole-y. Uff. But the base polish is so pretty and the double stamping looks great when the thermal is thermal-ing so…I’m going to call it a draw.
