Happy Valentine's Day!

 
I've been wanting this for awhile now.
 

I grabbed it yesterday as a little Valentine's Day present to myself!
It's really cool! I love all the different glitter colors and shapes. The pink is see through.

 
This is about 3 coats of Girly. with one coat of Gelous and one of Seche Vite.

Go Revlon! Moon Candy flaky duo.

 How cool is this!!  I swooned when I saw these. They looked sooo pretty!
This is from the "Moon Candy" display with about seven other duos.

I chose Supernova because the pink flakies were very different from any of the other flakies I own.

 The bottom layer is a dark grey. It applies so smooth and opaque in one swipe.
Unfortunately, as you can see I was a little over-eager and applied the flakies before the first coat had dried suffieciently. Then to add to the mess, my Seche Vite was a little thick.

Not the polishes fault, all user error.
Still looks pretty sweet though! Going to try this again VERY SOON!
Retails for $7.99 at Rite Aid. I bought mine on the 40% off sale and used a Register Reward, so I got it for like $3 bucks. Not too shabby!

I really like black polish with glittery stuff.

From left to right:
$OPI - "Never Enough Shoes" (good god, this is one of my favorite polishes ever!)
Revlon - "Dark Pleasures - Talk Dirty"
Kleancolor - "Golden Nightmare" (love that name!)
Color Club - "With Abandon"
 Gold Nightmare (Ring Finger) is a bit chunky on the nail. I assume some top coat would even that out a little bit better.
 I wasn't super impressed with Color Club's With Abandon when I put it up against all the others.
 I found this Revlon (Middle finger) at the dollar store last year and haven't worn it yet. I'm definitely going to soon - it's hot!
 Never Enough Shoes (Index Finger) has been in my "Top 20 favorite polishes" since it came out. It's freakin amazing!
VERDICT: No dupes here!
If I had to get rid of one: I'd say goodbye to With Abandon.

Carbonite vs. Valiant

Middle and Pinky: Revlon - Carbonite
Pointer and Ring: L'Oreal - Valiant
 You think they're similar, but they're not. Valiant is a little smoother and more on the silver side.
Carbonite looks a little rougher and leans more gold. At least to my eye.
 Ignore my messy valiant fingers. I remembered when I was using it that this is the polish I use on my dog once and awhile, so I was pulling hairs out of the brush. Gross, I know! Sorry!
Verdict: Note dupes.
If I had to get rid of one: No way! Love them both!

Revlon Glitters!

It took me awhile to track these down. This one is star, which is a purple glitter with silver hex glitter. I layered it over Color Club High Society to show off the purple.
I thought it came out kind of neat!
