Top 10 Picks For Fall.

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
With my most worn summer nail polishes out the way I figured that I would predict what nail polishes that I would most reach for this fall. I will do an actual post about what ones I did chose the most when fall is coming to an end.
These are in no particular order, some I have tried and some I haven't.

Left
Pinkie- Eel Skin by Sally Hansen
Ring- GR8 by China Glaze
Middle- Savage by Sinful Colors
Index- Forever Young by Essie
Thumb- Don't Mess With OPI by OPI


Right
Thumb- Sexy in the City by China Glaze
Index- Skyscraper by China Glaze
Middle- Beetle by Hard Candy
Ring- Facets of Fuchsia by Revlon
Pinkie- Party of Five Glitters by Wet N' Wild

This is what I predict I could totally be wrong but that is why I am going to post at the end of fall and tell you what polishes where grabbed up the most. It may or may not be the same amount of polishes listed above or it may even be more.

Enjoy yourself

My Most Worn Nail Polish- Summer 2011

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
I know I should have put this post in the beginning of summer but I wasn't blogging then. I would like to show you the polishes that I wore the most this summer. There are only 5 surprisingly. 

On my thumb I have Sally's Girl Surf's Up (812047), Surf's Up is a green blue color  so a  teal/ turquoise. It is a cream finish very shiny when dry. These polishes can be found at Sally's Beauty Supplies and are only $.99 for a .15 fl oz. I don't like the price for the size, maybe if they made a polish .5fl. oz. for $3 I would buy it. I definitely am going to be repurchasing this color sometime soon.

On my index finger I have China Glaze's Secret Peri-Wink-Le, Secret Peri-Wink-Le is a purple blue color so a periwinkle, how clever is that? This polish is also a cream finish. I have found this polish at Sally's, Ulta, and online for around $3-$8 for a .5 fl. oz.  I am going to buy a backup but not right now, maybe when the bottle gets to half way. Has anyone else noticed that when China Glaze's settle the bottles look really weird even after being mixed up?

On my middle finger I have China Glaze's For Audrey, For Audrey is a minty green blue color which is supposed to represent the Tiffany's box. Again it is a cream finish and it does the settling thing that I don't like. This was my second bottle of China Glaze, my first was Sexy in the City and rarely wear it, maybe in the winter I will. I am going to be repurchasing for a long time.

On my ring finger I have Essence Lime Up!, Lime Up! is a yellow based lime green. It is also a cream finish. This polish can be found for $.99 at Ultas, or if you live in the UK wherever you can find them. You get .16 fl. oz. which is a tad bit better than the Sally's Girl polish, I really like both though. 

Finally on my pinkie I have Sinful Colors Unicorn, Unicorn is a bright pastel yellow. I didn't take this into account that all of my choices were a cream finish, this one is as well. It also settles and makes weird lines on the bottle. This polish can be found at a lot of drugstores/ grocery stores for around $1.99 but can be found at Walgreens on sale for $.99 a lot of the time, or my Fred Meyer is doing a buy one at $1.99 and get on for $.99. This polish is a .5 fl. oz. like most nail polishes, I don't know if I will repurchase because of the application. This polish can actually be substituted with Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.


Well that is about it I wish I would have worn more of my own fingernail polish this summer but with being at my sisters and all it was kind of difficult. 

Enjoy yourself

Nail of the Day Skyscraper.

Now normally plain nail polish really gets to me. Like really badly. But I will make one exception for this polish and a select few. This is a gorgeous color. I am really happy I got it. 



Skyscraper is a blue jam packet glitter. It is a darker blue that is almost on the purple side. The glitter is silver and a lighter blue. The formula is a little thicker, I guess this is a bit normal for glitters. I kind of don't want to add thinner to it just in case it will thin it too much. Also I noticed that you have to do more than two coats for it to look semi decent.



This is a really hyped up polish, I can see why it is but I am not really loving it as much as other people made it out to be. I am glad I got it but I just don't think it deserves as much hype that it has gotten.



One Coat
Two Coats

Three Coats

Teeny Tiny Nail Polish Haul.

China Glaze Skyscraper and INM Northern Lights.
I just couldn't wait to put this up. I know I have been missing for a couple of days. Not really missing just hidden. I have been working hard on my wishlist which seems to be a mile long. I think I will have to have a separate room for polish one day.

I guess I could have waited to put a haul up for a little while because Nail Behavior is sending me a package. Karly is sweet enough to do a swap with me. Her youtube is http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2FNailBehavior%3Ffeature%3Dmhee&h=ZAQClp__p

I was shopping at Ulta, Sally's, and Target for our swap when I came along to see they had the metro collection, First thing I did was run to Skyscraper. I also picked up INM Northern Lights and a nail file (Not Shown).

China Glaze Skyscraper- Metro Collection
That is it for my stuff I got her the bulk of everything including minis of OPI's Touring.  I need to get those myself along with Pirates minis and the Halloween Set. I also would love to get some of the polishes from the Wet N' Wild On The Prowl Collection. We will see

Enjoy Yourself
