All the Way from Italy

My niece has been studying in Italy for the last few years. Every time she leaves I ask her to bring my back some Italian nail polish.
This time she finally remembered! I loved everything about Collistar! The bottle is cute, the color was great, the polish strong.
I'd definitely love to know more about this brand!

Halley's Comet

In 1986, I actually got to observe Halley's Comet when it flew by. I remember my mother telling me that the next time it would be visible from Earth, she would be long dead and I'd be in my 80's. I really had the feeling of seeing something incredible and awe-inspiring, I mean, what 10 year old really contemplates living into her 80's?

So, the Orly Cosmic FX collection, looked amazing from the promo pictures. The prices online went from reasonable to outrageous rather fast, so I had to take my hunt to the ground. That meant stalking Sally's for weeks. I finally located the collection, and purchased the ones that caught my eye. Halley's Comet is like nothing I have in my collection, AND I love the name for the pleasant memories it evoked. The other two I picked up, are my little secret for now. ;)

This is such a gorgeous flashy, sparkly-but-not-obviously-glitter teal blue-green. I got a bunch of compliments on it.

Illamasqua - "Muse"

This is the first Illamasqua polish I've tried. I must try more. I never thought I would love a teal blue nail polish on my nails, but this was incredible.

I'll start with the formula. It's like butter. It melted onto my nails so easily and had full coverage with one coat. I couldn't believe how easy it was to put on and how pretty it was. I've never used a nail polish this wonderful before! Now I really want to try their other colors, like Baptiste, Phallic and Jan. Here is the pretty little black box their polish comes in.

Next day, I konaded some snowflakes on and it snowed that night!

My husband (who had to do the plowing and snow-blowing) said "don't do that!" haha!
