Sephora by OPI swatches

Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas. Two coats.

Sephora by OPI Cartwheels on the Catwalk. Three coats. The formula was a bit finicky.

Sephora by OPI Is It Payday Yet? Three coats.

Sephora by OPI If You've Got It, Haunt It. Three coats. This is one of my favorite polishes by them. The iridescent glitters really add a nice touch.

Sephora by OPI Dance til Fawn. Two coats. A really nice taupe.

LeChat Dare 2 Wear swatches

Dare 2 Wear Glammed Up. Three coats. This is like a copper version of OPI Dazzled by Gold. I love this finish.

Sephora by OPI Don't Be Eggnog-ious over Glammed Up. One coat.

Dare 2 Wear Glitterati. Three coats. Why isn't this one a glitter at least?

Dare 2 Wear Smoking Diva. Three coats. I thought this would be the same finish as Glammed Up since they are from the same collection but I was disappointed. It looks dull in most lights.

Nails Inc Sprinkles collection swatches

Nails Inc Pudding Lane. Three coats.

Nails Inc Sugar House Lane. Three coats. My least favorite of the collection. This was described as a pale grey, but is a brownish taupe.

Nails Inc Sweets Way. Three coats. This one is a bit brighter in person.

Nails Inc Topping Lane. Three coats.

I really like this collection. Not many major brands are doing glitters like these, so it is refreshing to see. The formula on all of them were good. I like that you can get full coverage in three coats, but the glitter is not drowned out by the colored bases. These can be found at Sephora.

Butter London's All Hail The Queen!

This is my first time trying this one on and I have to say, I'm kind of impressed. I ended up doing 3 coats because I still had some visible nail line at 2. But the subtle holo in this polish makes it more than an average sparkly taupe. The formula was nice, it applied very smoothly and effortlessly. Plus, I felt like I needed a break from all the glitters I've been doing lately. The cold weather and constant glitter removal has not been kind to my skin :( So here's a couple of pics taken in direct sunlight.

It's not like, in your face holo, it's so subtle and unexpected. But it's enough to where I can imagine wearing this to the office and smiling when you catch it in the right light. Definitely a nice palate cleanser, too. I might stick to cremes over the next few days just to take a glitter break. That's it from me for today! Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening :D

Butter London!

Some Butter London swatches in anticipation for the Ulta bogo sale. Enjoy!

Fearless Fog!

So lastnight I made an unplanned trip to Walfart in hopes of finding some Essie. Much to my dismay, there was none at my store yet.

There was however a brand new display for Sally Hansen. It was on an end cap and it was the nailgrowth miracle colors and the real nail polish strips (I call them faux minx). 2 colors immediately caught my eye, a light minty green with shimmer and a taupe creme. I don't know about you, but I like to check polishes before I buy them to make sure they don't have polish all over the neck. Unfortunately all of the green ones had gobs of polish on their necks, so I left them there. But there was one that had nothing on it of Fearless Fog. So this little beauty came home with me.

I have to say, I know it's not the most original color. But, for a self professed brown hater, these taupe colors are starting to grow on me! I also must note that I really need to start wearing my glasses out in public. Because at the store, I thought this was called Fearless Frog. It wasn't until this morning when I was taking pictures of the polish that I noticed it says Fog, not Frog!

Direct Sunlight

In the shade

Application on this was a dream! Very even, smooth and so pigmented it could have very easily been a one coater if I had been more neat. The brush is the same wide brush that's in the Complete Salon Manicure polishes as well. Only thing that really bothered me was the price to be honest. I think $5.50 is a bit much! In fact, I'm beginning to think a lot of drugstore nail polishes are getting too expensive! Of course I'm cheap, so you might not feel the same.

But it's that same cheapness that did not allow me to buy one of the faux minx Sally has to offer. Although one did catch my eye! It's called Frock Star. But like I said, I'm cheap and $8.50 seemed a bit much for me to get one. Here are a couple of bad phone pics I took of this Frock Star.


Looks nice and glittery, huh? I may cave someday. But lastnight was not the night. Alrighty, well it is Friday so don't forget to place your Zoya order before 11:59 p.m. EST tonight!

Also, before I forget, the Barielle Website is having free shipping right now until the 9th of January. No minimum. The polishes are $8 on the site, but they're buy 2 get 1 free. So if you get 3, it's like you're paying just a little bit over $5 each since shipping is free. Which is still a bit cheaper than getting them at Ulta where they cost $6 each and Elle's Spell is still in stock online as far as I can tell. So if you missed out, go order it now!

If you visit the website, don't be discouraged by the banner that says free shipping over $50. Put a polish in your cart and you'll notice it says shipping is free! So make sure you take advantage of the no minimum free shipping :D

Well, that's it from me for today. I hope you guys are getting lots of new goodies to enjoy! Until next week, have a fun and safe weekend!

That Galaxy Girl's name is Ingrid?

Hey everyone :) Well, sorry for the cheesy title. Had to get your attention somehow, right? But the title basically says it all! I have 2 NOTDs for you today. Orly's Galaxy Girl and China Glaze's Ingrid. First up will be the Orly. Galaxy Girl is really pretty! It's not as color changing fabulous as Space Cadet was. but this one has pretty multi-colored shimmers that catch the light at different angles. I see teal and purple! :)

Next up is Ingrid. I actually really like this one! All the descriptions and swatches I've seen of it online are basically the same, taupe with shimmer. In the bottle I totally thought it was a taupe with golden shimmer. Which, is pretty if you look at it, right? But once on my nail, I got a bit confused! It's weird cause I think it pulls green on me under certain lights. But maybe I'm just losing it? I don't know. But here it is in all it's beauty.

Looks kind of olivey, doesn't it? Well, that's it from me for today! Thanks for reading, I hope these pictures helped some of you who are still on the fence about these colors :)

Have a great day!!!

Chanel Particuliere

So I thought I updated this a few days ago, but it must've been a dream because I can clearly see that I have not posted in about 6 days :( Sorry about that. So I come bearing Chanel! I actually thought I would hate this the first time I saw it in December. Which is why I passed on it.

I thought I was over it since it's brown and well, brown and I don't really get along. But for some reason when my favorite SA at the Chanel counter called me to let me know they only had one left, I asked her to hold it for me in a panic. Why was I panicking? I passed on this color! I should just call her back and tell her to sell it. I should. But I didn't. I bought it.

In a need to justify my purchase, I thought to myself, what if I love it? I don't want to be one of those late people getting it on ebay for way over retail. Might as well buy it now and get rid of it later if I don't like it, right? The weird thing is though, I kind of like it. I don't love it. But I think it looks more grey than brown on me. And I like grey! So I guess I'm keeping it. Not to mention, the application was very smooth and opaque. I usually do 3 coats of my Chanels, but this was a thin 2 coater for that opaque goodness I love.

This first picture is in direct sunlight, the second one down is indirect sunlight and the 3rd one down is in my kitchen light without flash.





Thanks for looking guys :D

Oh and I should be back with my current NOTD, OPI DS Perfection as soon as I get the pics ready :D
