Things I Love

I've decided I have so many polishes now, that I am going to (try) to only get unique polishes in colors/finishes I really love and don't already have. Holo polishes were on that list. Every time I wear them, they make me so happy, I must have more! Glitter Gal, really interested me, so I finally ordered some. This is Black 3D Holo. Isn't it pretty? That's my hand on my dog's back if you were wondering...





Look how pretty and sparkly!






My only complaint would be how tiny the bottles are! Otherwise, these are perfect. The formula is so smooth and applies really well. The price is steep, but worth it if you really love holos in unique shades. I ordered mine from here and the service was fantastic! I ordered them on a Tuesday and had them in my hot little hands on Friday! Customer service is also very quick to respond. I ordered two other ones that I'll have to post soon, I'm just loving this one too much to take it off right now!

Two colors from the Katy Perry Collection by OPI

The One That Got Away
A deep rasberry color with a glass fleck finish. Very pretty. I don't know how original it is, but it's nice. I added some Lippman Some Enchanted Evening, because I thought it would be awesome - and I was right!






Not Like The Movies







This reminded me of at least two other polishes that I own. Lippman's Wicked Game and another one by Wet and Wild that I can't remember the name of right now. Except this one has silver micro-particles in it which the other two do not have.








I was too lazy to pull out the other polishes and compare them, but I really should one day.










Regardless of what other colors this reminds me of, it's AWESOME. I loved it so much! It's a little sheer. This was three coats and it's still a little see through. But look at the duochrome shifting happening! It's lavender, it's grey, with green and pink shifts going on. So pretty!

Essie - Smooth Sailing with Lippman Some Enchanted Evening

Smooth Sailing was really gorgeous all on its own. But I've been really into SEE for some reason lately. It's pink, but it seems to go with everything!














Look how gorgeous that is! It's got silvery glass flecking going on. It seems a lot more sparkly in the bottle than it appears in these pictures.

Essie - Strange French

I'm not sure what was going on here! I picked up Essie's kisses and bises at CVS for $2.22. I told my husband, "If you see Essie for $2, you buy it!" But it's kind of sheer and weird...but yet still awesome! For some reason I thought some french tips in Sally Hansen's Kumquat would be cute. You be the judge?

Rimmel Goodies

Hard Metal

This color was so gorgeous! I had a BOGOfree coupon for Rimmel and these two are the only colors that stood out to me!


I bet if I look I have one or two polishes in this color already, but it's so pretty!!























Rags to Riches - a perfect metallic moss green!
































































It also happened to be a perfect match to my husband's car!

I gave in!

I've been resisting the whole crackle nail phase. The polishes are expensive and I wasn't sure I liked it. Then I saw some one wearing a pink and white combination that I really liked. So, I thought I would try it. Of course, then I couldn't find a single bottle of white crackle polish ANYWHERE!


Finally 5Below came to the rescue and i found this there! It's pricier than the regular Funky Fingers and it didn't crackle quite how I thought it would, but I liked this more than I expected!


The bottom is Zoya's Sweet

Rocking nails!

We went to see one of my favorite bands, Rev Theory, last night. They killed it as always!



This was my mani. $OPI "Never Enough Shoes" as a base and Wet-n-Wild Fireworks layered on top. I loved this! It got a lot of compliments!




I love the big, holo glitter pieces in fireworks.





We met the band after and I had them sign my cd. Great night! :)
Ironically, we went to see All That Remains on Friday, and the mani I wore was Color Club's Revvvolution. No pics though. :D

Sally Hansen Ice Queen

This is Ice Queen over China Glaze LOL. It's pretty silver sparkles with blue and purple hex glitter in a clear base. Wore well, so well I couldn't get some of the glitter off!

Christmas in June!

These are my first Nicole Polishes. I kind of like the wonky bottles.




I found these in a 2-pack at Marshalls for $6.



I wish I had gotten a picture of "stuck in the chimmney" for you by itself. Gorgeous red!

I got lots of compliments on this. Spark my mistletoe is a great holo-red glitter.
