This Is How I Feel Today....


Not in the greatest mood today. I feel like shit and I'm running on 0 sleep...Is it May yet so I can graduate?

I'm loving ManGlaze right now! An entire collection of matte...awesome. Also the art on the bottles are a nice touch.

Fuggen' Ugly= A grey matte...but wait...can you see the slight shimmer in the picture with flash

I totally retouched my cuticles in iPhoto...they were pretty bad. Ok, I'm going to go take a nap and then study.

Until next time,

L'Oreal Vs. L'Oreal??

L'Oreal came out with a whole new line of polish recently. Here we have Stroke Of Midnight and VIP Status. It was buy one get one 50% off. I got both of these colors because...they looked the same. I wanted to check the difference out myself. 
L-Stroke of Midnight and R-VIP Status
Stroke of Midnight is a dark slate grey with a minor blue undertone. VIP status looks like it would be a purple duo chrome in the bottle. Nope, just a blackened teal shimmer. I like both colors but don't really have a preference between the two. Formula was meh. I have bought L'Oreal polish in the past and I hated them. These are a little better.

A-England Lady Of The Lake



No Flash
This was my first experience with a-england. Love at first...application!! Lady is a medium purple with a rainbow glitter and glow. It was opaque in two coats and dried rather quickly. The formula was just right...not to thin...not to thick. The brush to me was normal and I didn't have any problem using it to apply the polish. 
Until next time,

China Glaze Purple Panic

Purple Panic is a neon pink. I've seen many blogs that say it has very fine blue shimmer. I have a very hard time seeing it. I just see a blue undertone. It dried matte but I used Poshe topcoat to give it some shine.
I'm not the biggest pink fan but this one will stay in my collection. I can even see myself pulling for it. If it was not a neon, super, ridiculous, pink it may have been another story.

I Really Needed This!!

Thank you Orly Mineral FX 2011. I was feeling in a rut when it came to choosing a polish. I have painted my nails the past couple days but I was like 'meh'. Not good enough to blog. I pass many Sally Beauty Supply stores sometimes and went into one today just for fun. They had the Mineral FX collection. Yay!! 
Showing here is Rock Solid. It is a gunmetal grey with shimmer. I also see multi-colored glitter in it too. The formula was great. Not to thick and not to thin. I only need two coats and it dried pretty quickly.


This picture here, I believe you can see the colored glitter a lot better!
I bought another polish from the Mineral FX which I am also very excited to share with you guys!
Until next time,

Sinful Colors See You Soon

Random color of the day....Sinful Colors See You Soon. It is a dark base with shimmer which makes it look like a darker teal. Formula on this was watery and thin. Sometimes it could be a little tricky to work with.
For the price (1.99$) it's not a bad color. I have a couple more in my stash that I need to try. 
Until next time,

Something New! (Slightly Picture Heavy)

First I'd like to say 'welcome' to the new followers! I was surprised when I logged into blogger today. 

I decided to try something new because I have so many polishes that I have not swatched yet. Everyday (or every other day), I'm going to randomly pick a polish (possibly two polishes) out of my collection. I have already separated my polishes into different containers. A container for colors that I have not swatched and a container for swatched colors.

You may ask 'how will you pick the random colors'. I'm literally going to close my eyes and pick!!

I would like your feedback. Is this a good idea or should I scrape it and come up with something else?

I picked two polishes today. The first is Milani Hi-Res from the 3-D Holographic collection. This is a purple base with all sorts of micro-glitter/shimmer colors. I find this polish is on the sheer side so I had to use four coats. Even sheer it was still easy to work with. I was pleasantly surprised by this color. In the bottle I didn't think I was going to like it. On my nails though it is awesome.

Next we have Milani Cyberspace, also from the 3-D Holographic collection. Again this was a sheer polish so I had to use four coats. Way better looking on my nails that in the bottle, just like Hi-Res.

Sorry for so many pictures but I felt it was necessary to capture all of the shimmer and different colors. I hope everyone likes the new theme!
