I don't think Maybelline knows what "Holographic" means.

 My love of all things holographic got me all excited when I saw Maybelline's "Holographic" display. I was suspicious, because none of the polishes had a hint of holo to them in the store. A bit duochrome, but no holo. But, blue blaze interested me and I had a coupon, so I thought, eh, maybe in sunlight it will surprise me.

 Unfortunately my first instinct was correct. I've seen better holo stuff in Wet -n- Wild polishes. I'm not really sure what Maybelline was thinking.

 That aside, Blue Blaze is an interesting color. It's an icy-silvery-lavender blue. I don't think I have anything quite like it in my stash.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!
I couldn't decide between all the Christmas polishes I pulled out what I wanted to wear, so I gave my basket of polish to my husband. He pulled out the China Glaze, "Party Hearty". I told him it needed something under it, so he pulled out the Nfu-Oh silver.

I think it turned out really nice!

Just the right amount of Christmassy for me! What colors did you pull out for the holidays?

Orly Iron Butterfly...and a little Konad gone wrong!

I picked Iron Butterfly up on clearance at Sally's a few weeks ago, and finally got to try it.

I haven't really been a fan of the matte trend, but pictures of Iron Butterfly looked amazing so I had to try it. It's awesome! This is one coat and it dried super fast! My husband thought it was the coolest looking polish ever, which is always nice.

Close up, you can see shimmer particles. Very much like asphalt.

I had planned to use this with a Konad in China Glaze Millenium. Unfortunately, it came out like this. Not sure where I went wrong, some of the lines just broke off. I thought Konad and I had reached a new point in our relationship where we understood each other, but apparently not.

Oh well, I still think it looks kinda cool, and I am not planing on leaving my office today. :)
Happy Birthday Abe!

Blacks, Greys, Glitters, Holos, Yippie!

$OPI "Never Enough Shoes", $OPI "212", OPI "My Private Jet", Color Club "Revvolution" China Glaze "OMG"

"Never Enogh Shoes" has been so far in my "untried" pile. I really need to fix that, it's gorgeous! MPJ and Revvolution remain two of my favorites, and I am feeling better about 212. OMG is of course, OMG awesome!

Ah, greys, gorgeous greys! Thumb - Pinky we have: Zoya Freja, China Glaze Recycle, Obsessvie Compulsive Cosmetics, "Dangerous", Zoya "Harley" and China Glaze "OMG".

Recycle and Dangerous are quite different, which is a relief. Recycle is thinner and lighter in color. It's still untried except for this swatch. Waiting for inspiration.
