Revlon Moon Candy - Cosmo

 I love the idea of this collection. I love flakies and I love all the unique color combos Revlon came up with. (You sense a but here don't you?) But, the price is high for drugstore stuff - $8 or $9 I think.

 Luckily, I found a basketful of these beauties waiting for me at Ocean State Job Lot (man I love that place!) for $ 2. Now that's much better. I grabbed one in every color they had.

So, I love the base polishes in these. They are a little on the thin side, but they are super-shiny which I like. This took about three coats. Dry time is a bit slow, but definitely wait it out otherwise the flakies make a mess. I happen to love flaky tips, so that's the look I went with.  :)

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!

New Camera...and Nfu-Oh 51 over Kinky in Helsinki

I finally got a new camera. I think I'm going to keep this one. But I've been having trouble getting used to the settings. See above...

 Not bad.

 Getting better...

 This is O.P.I. Kinky in Helsinky with a layer of Nfu 51 flakies. Pretty!

And I just thought this was pretty too!

I can't remember what red was the base color. Something OPI holidayish I think.

But it's Sally Hansen's hidden treasure on top.

Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow

I finally got my hands on Nfu-Oh 60. Looking at it I new it would look great with a deep, dark green...

And I remembered Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow sitting in my untried pile!

Somehow, I didn't do this totally awesome combo justice. I got bubbles in it for some weird reason. I swear it looked so much cooler in person.

I loved this, it was a really fun weekend mani!

More Christmas Swatches!

The stuff with holo glitter in it is really hard to capture on film!

I added some nfu-oh flakies to this, but it was hard to tell.

Rescue Beauty Lounge - "Black Russian"

Very pretty and glowy. I little more black than I thought. The red shimmery glitter didn't "pop" on the nail as much as it does in the bottle. I still loved it though!

China Glaze Emerald Sparkle with Nfu-Oh #40 flakies on top.

Swoon!

Look how blue the flakies shimmer!

Then I tried one of my kaliedascopes that I hadn't worn yet.

China Glaze's "He's going in circles"

The Lost Archives!

OPI - Merry Midnight. I got this and the mini 4-pack from Aveyou.com.

I didn't do the polish justice though. It probably should have had a third coat.

And I used OPI's quick dry top coat over it, which really sucked. It went on kinda dry and sticky.

But even with those issues, this polish is TO DIE FOR! I absolutely love it. It's in my "already worn but must wear again soon" basket which sits on top of my untrieds box. Yes, I'm a little nutty!!

OPI Shim-Merry Chic. This was one of the mini bottles. I loved this too. It's fascinating!

Plus I felt it was nuetral enough to wear to work. Hehe.

This monstrosity was taken before I broke my nails. :( This was Wet-n-Wild Craze "Lust" with Cover Girl "City Lights" on the tips.

A little over the top, but I think I wore this somewhere at the end of August? So, it felt very summery and pretty. I did not wear this one to work.

Here is lust all by itself.

AND again with City Lights.

I love the blueish flash Lust has. I was looking for a fuschia JUST like this! For my toes though, I don't usually wear colors this bright on my fingers!

Zoya "Pasha". I wore this to kick off a week-long trial. So, I got out all my boring nuetrals for the week and lined them up. Pasha went first. I shouldn't call this boring. It was actually quite nice. Wore well too.

MMMMMMMMManicurist of Seville. This TOTALLY STOLE MY HEART. I have never liked a red nail polish before, but this was true LOVE! It is the perfect crimson with a touch of pink red to it. I wish I had taken better pictures of it. This does not do it justice at all. I wore this for about a week and never got tired of it. I also worked as an extra on a film set in the 1930's and the makeup artist and wardrobe lady both complimented me on what an awesome color it was! This is also in my basket "to be worn again soon". It's going on my top 20 list as well!

Here is a shot of Heirloom Organza next to my coffee. Hehe. I was being silly. Loved this polish. I felt quite sophisticated with it for some reason.

China Glaze "Thunderbird". Another AWESOME RED that I did not get a worthy picture of. This is more shimmery and orange-toned red, but gosh is it pretty! My husband and I used to go to a lot of antique car shows and this definitely reminds me of the paint jobs on some of my favorites.
