31 Day Challenge Day 17

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
I have a lot of glitters to chose from so that made today very easy for me. I actually used multiple nail polishes for today. Glitter is a really nice way to spice up any nail look.



For the base color I used my new Orly Rock Solid which has holographic glitter in it. Then I added a layer of Sally's Girl Way 2 Disco which is a duo chrome type glitter that shines blue, purple, and green (the way to find the colors of these polishes is to go onto Sallys Beauty website and type the numbers that come with the color into the search bar). Then I added a layer of China Glaze's Fairy Dust, I have to thin this polish almost every time I use it I am sure I am not the only one. China Glaze nail polishes become thick very quick. Finally I added a layer of INM Northern Lights (shaken) which is similar to Fairy Dust so I really didn't need this step but I wanted so much glitter. 

Ugh this is going to be a pain in the ass to take off but really worth it. See the blurred picture for the sparkle. 

If you like this be sure to show your support by following me.

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 5

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
Today is blue nails, this one should be easier for me since I own a lot of blue nail polishes. It was harder though because most of the colors I own are for summer time or spring which would have been really funny to see for this day.

So far, 4 out of the 5 days I have worn two nail polishes. Today I am wearing two, who would have guessed? I am wearing Essence's @ Holographics Blue Ray and over that I am wearing LA Splash's Psych'd crackle. I topped it all with a shaken INM Northern Lights.

I am edging closer to the fun of this challenge I hope it goes well for me. 


Enjoy yourself
XOXO

31 Day Challenge Day 3

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
Whooohoo day 3 which is Yellow day! I love yellow to death. It is my favorite color but someone has told me that yellow is one of the most angering colors in the world. I am not sure on that. HAHA!!!
On my nails I have two colors yet again. I have Sinful Colors Unicorn on my ring and index fingers. Then on my pinkie, middle finger, and thumb I have Color Club Get Your Lem-On. Over that I put INM Northern Lights shaken up which just gives it a cutesy and pulled together look. 

That's all today folks LOL. 

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

Happy Halloween


Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
As promised here is what I am for Halloween this year. I actually was two different things, my sister has a Halloween party which I dressed up for and then what I am actually today. Both costumes are very similar, I used the same nail design and a lot of the same makeup. 

For my sisters party I was Ivy from Batman, I may be able to find a picture from the party but I am not sure yet, If you see a picture here than I found one but if not than no. Today I am a forest nymph or green fairy. I only really did the makeup and nails this year so I am not really going to post an outfit.

For my makeup in this I used the greens from Wet N' Wild's Cool As A Cucumber palette, a no name eyeliner from Hot Topic, a neon glitter from Sally's Girl, black liquid eyeliner and black mascara. Pink lipgloss from HIP and Pearlescent Pink Blush from Wet N' Wild. 
My other costume I alternated between red and green. My eyes were green and I had green glitter. For my contour and lips/eyebrows were all red. Very Ivy-ish.


For my nails I used Essence Lime Up! and sponged on OPI's Don't Mess With OPI, Finger Paint's Scenery Greenery, and Orly's Rock Solid.

I hope your Halloween is as enjoyable as mine. 

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

Review- Urban Decay Naked Palette & Mini Look Book


Hello Lacquered Lovelies and Makeup Freaks,
This is the first review that I promised you yesterday, I thought I would post it today since I have until Sunday to announce something for this up coming holiday.

Urban Decay's Naked palette was released store wide on August 1st. 2010, I think I had purchased mine somewhere close to August 1st. 2011. This palette comes with 12 neutral shades, a mini eyeshadow primer, and a brush, the original palette came with a double sided eyeliner in Zero and Whiskey. I don't mind that there is a brush instead but I would have rather seen the eyeliners. I think this palette will be great for this up and coming fall.
 I know you have probably seen like 100000 and 1 reviews on this palette but I just thought I would make mine stand out a little more.

The colors are great, perfect for a natural look, a smokey look, or even an evening look.
  • Virgin is a satin-y nude color, it's not a shimmer but not a flat matte finish. More frostier than anything but not too overly done. I wouldn't use it as a highlight because of the frostiness but it is a good all over wash.
  • Sin is a champagne color with a pull towards pink. This is a frosty finish. It is a part of the permanent line so you can buy it separately. It also makes an appearance in the Book Of Shadows Vol. 4, the Fun Palette, and Ammo Palette.
  • Naked is a matte taupe-y brown. I find this is a great color to go all over your lid.
  • Sidecar is a jam packed sparkle light brown. This color is really hard to work with. There is a lot of sparkle fall out, my suggestion is to pat the eyeshadow on and not sweep it on. I heard this is from the Book Of Shadows Vol. 1.

  • Buck is a matte medium beige-y brown. It is almost a darkened version of Naked. I use it in the crease with Naked.
  • Half Baked is a metallic frosty bronze gold color. I actually think this is my favorite of the 12 colors. A permanent color. In the Vegan Palette as well, the Sustainable Palette, .
  • Smog is a deepened bronze color with a coppery sheen to it. Again it is a shimmery finish. Also a permanent color. Also in the Vegan Palette, Ammo Palette, the Summer of Love Palette, and the Book Of Shadows Vol.3 .
  • Darkhorse is a darker bronze color that pulls a little towards the plum side. it is a shimmer. In the Rollergirl Palette, the Feminine Palette, 

  • Toasted is a medium brown with a pull towards pink. It is a frosty finish. It is a permanent color.
  • Hustle is a plum chocolate with a shimmery finish. I love this color with Half Baked.
  • Creep is a black with multi colored shimmer. Urban Decay said that is was gold shimmer but I don't see any gold. 
  • Gunmetal is a dark grey color with a metallic finish. It shows up in the Dangerous Palette and the Book Of Shadows Vol. 4. 
The eyeshadow brush is called the Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush. It is a 100% Vegan brush. Similar in shape to Sigma E60, it is a flat eyeshadow brush with a deep c a the end of the hairs. I actually don't use it very much. That is why I said I was a little disappointed with having a brush rather than a eyeliner. If bought alone this brush would cost you $26 which is comparable to MAC prices. The packaging of this brush when it is alone is really cute.

The Urban Decay Primer Potion, I like this stuff a lot but I think I like Benefits Stay Don't Stray more, I want to try Too Faced Shadow Insurance. The primer is a clear based primer. I notice for me that I still have creases. This is only a mini version of the primer, I think primer usually comes with all of the Urban Decay Palettes. The original size costs $18 but they have the new squeezy tube which is a $1 more. Personally I would rather spend the extra $1 because at the end you will have to dissect the primer bottle to get the rest out. The minis on the Urban Decay Website cost $9 which isn't too bad. They also have the Sin and Original Primer Potion duo for $26, I think this is the best deal.

Overall this palette costs $48 at many places like Sephora and Ulta for 12 Eyeshadows, 1 Mini Primer Potion, and 1 Eyeshadow Brush. Individually this would cost me $239 to purchase. It would have been cheaper if they would have kept the eyeliner. I actually purchased this for $38 because I had a $10 off coupon for standing in line at the Grand Opening here in Idaho. Score right?

Here is my little look book.
Eye look one.
This is Naked all over the lid with Buck in the Crease and Sin as the highlight and inner corner highlight. I applied Buch on the outer half of my lower lash line and Naked on the inner half.
Eye look two.
This is Half Baked all on the inner half of the lid and Smog on the outer half. Darkhorse in the crease and as liner on the bottom half. 
Eye look three.
This is Creep all over the lid. Hustle and Toasted in the Crease. Sin as a brow bone highlight. Half Baked as a inner highlight and bottom lash line liner. Creep is on the waterline. 

Each look was with Maybelline's Colossal mascara in black. 


I have an Urban Decay Wish List.
  • Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Alice and Wonderland. Very hard to find, not available on the website or stores.
  • Urban Decay Book Of Shadows Vol. 4
  • Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Eyeshadow Collection Palette

30 Untrieds Day 30!!!!


Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
I am glad to say it is over and that I can give my nails a break for a day or so. Most likely won't, haha. I want to say thank you for sticking with me while I did this because I really needed to. I wanted to do a closing post and I may still do that but I am not sure yet. If I do I will be sure to add polishes that I still need to try out. Thank you to everyone who has and will comment on my posts it means everything. Now on to today's polish. 


Orly's Galaxy Girl is a purple with bright blue glitters. Very similar to Halley's Comet. This is from the Cosmic FX collection which you can still find at Ulta or at least mine and mine is fairly new. This polish goes for $10 but if you took a $3.50 coupon into Ulta you could get it for $6.50 which is pretty good. You can also find it online. I actually won mine <3.

LA Splash Crackle'D in Broken Heart'd is very bright cream pink crackle. Very similar to China Glaze's Crackle in Broken Hearted. Haha same name. This polish was purchased from my Fred Meyer for around $5. I am sure you can still find it somewhere but my Fred Meyer is sold out. I only added this to my tips to show the true beauty of Galaxy Girl. 

I plan on getting more crackles but I am not sure if I like them. It will be like in the 90's were they stopped selling after awhile. Maybe my Fred Meyer will have them on sale because I still see a couple of different brands of crackle. 

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 29


Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
I found some feathers around the house today and figured I would incorporate something into nail art. Sadly it didn't come out the way I planned. My coats I think were a little too thick. I am not sure. They all can't be winners.

For the base I used Sinful Colors's Queen of Beauty which is a silver glitter. Very chunky glitter. It's going to be a five letter word to get off tomorrow morning.
Very affordable at $1.99 at Walgreens and other drugstores. 

Then I just went in with some feathers. I actually don't mind how they came out I just wish the nail polishes weren't so thick.

It gooped up and when I was doing laundry, Oh how I love my laundry days! I got my fingers all messed up.

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 26

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
Today was a 3 polish type of day... We will see if I get through all of my untrieds.  If not I will post a list of polish I haven't tried yet on my closing of 30 Untrieds which I plan on posting on the 30th of this month... 4 more days.

OPI's A-Taupe The Space Needle is a brown grey-ish color. Goes on opaque, at least for me. It also has those veins that the other OPI's that I have recently been sent. I don't know if it is because they are directly from the company or if their formula is different compared to the other polishes I have. It doesn't effect how the nail polish goes on just looks odd.

OPI Honk If You Love OPI is an almost eggplant purple. I had to apply two coats on my ring finger. I chose this color because it is in the same family as ATSN.  Again same as the other one.

You can find those two nail polishes in various locations that sells OPI, for around $8.50 but can some times be found on sale.

Lastly is Wet N' Wild's Tangled in My Web which is a black glitter. Very sparse I may say, you really have to layer it on to get the glitter on. Or just pat the side of the brush on your nail. This polish is apart of their On The Prowl Collection which is out for Halloween. Can be found at multiple drugstores for around $2. 

Sorry for being so late tonight.... I hate posting later. I have been napping all day because I think I am coming down with a cold.

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

Nail Mail Round 2

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
Today is a very exciting day for me. You see I entered Okay Now Joy!'s 50 Follower Giveaway and surprisingly won... My jaw dropped when I found out because I never imagined winning anything else after the Musings From Manhattan Giveaway and the Olivia  Frescura Giveaway. 
Joy was giving away four nail polishes, one that I was really surprised about.
-Orly's Galaxy Girl was the one I was most lemming after since I got Halley's Comet.
-Icings Chrome in Teal
-Icings Chrome in Light Blue
-Icings in Berry

I am happy to say that I love each and every single polish that she had sent me. I am one happy woman. Thank you Joy you made me very happy. :P

30 Untrieds Day 25

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
I woke up to a lovely surprise this morning which I will share with you very soon, next post I promise. 

Today I did a jelly sandwich with 3 nail polishes. I like it!!!

First was a base of Color Club's Gimme A Grape Big Kiss which is a neon purple. Cream finish, very sheer like the rest of the Wicked Sweet Collection ( I need three more and the collection is complete). Scented like Grapes... Yummy. It is opaque in three coats which is great considering the other Lemon and Lime are sheer and are opaque in four or five. It has a jelly look to it once dried.

Next I applied a coat of Wet N' Wild's Correction Tape from the On The Prowl Collection. This is similar to Party Of Five Glitters only it is pink, blue, silver, and black multi shaped glitter. The glitter is kind of sparse. I would like it if there was more glitter that stayed on your finger after each swipe.

Finally I finished it with a coat of Color Club's Raspberry Rush which is a reddened pink.  It is like Gimme A Grape Big Kiss in the sense of opaqueness and finishes. It is scented to be Raspberry. I love these scented nail polishes from Color Club... I had so much trouble finding inspiration for nail art, I took these on and off all day. I smelt it all day... I love them to death <3

I bought the two Color Clubs for $1.59 each and the Wet N' Wild for $1.50 at my Fred Meyer. Clearance bins are my best friend <3.

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

Small Haul

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,

Yesterday when shopping for food, I ran across the On The Prowl collection from Wet N' Wild. I begged my boyfriend for $10, which it didn't even come to :P LOL. I got 6 nail polishes, 4 from the On The Prowl collection and 2 from the Wicked Sweet collection. 
I got
-Correction Tape
-Tangled in My Web
-Behind Closed Doors
-Cougar Attack
-Raspberry Rush
-Gimme a Grape Big Kiss

I love the new glitters from Wet N' Wild, they are great. Too bad they are limited edition, GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN!!! I picked mine up from Fred Meyers at 2 for $3. 

Correction Tape is similar to Party Of Five Glitters, only CT has pink, blue, silver and black hex, square, and circular glitters, whereas POFG is red, pink, green, and silver glitters. 

Tangled In My Web is a clear based polish with black hex glitters.

Behind Closed Doors is a black based polish with bright red glitter. Small round glitter and larger hex.

Cougar Attack is a brown based polish jam packed with orange glitter. 

The Wicked Sweet collection was released in the summer and since then my Fred Meyer's had decided to mark the prices down to $1.59 which is an amazing $7.41 mark down. I will surely be going back for more. I have a stash at Fred Meyers hidden with nail polish just for me LOL, no one will ever know well not unless you live near me... Shh. 

Raspberry Rush is a pink-y magenta. Cream finish of course. Scented like raspberries. 

Gimme a Grape Big Kiss is a purple, more of a neon. Cream again. Scented like you guessed it... grape.

I would like to get more Halloween nail colors especially from Sally's... That would make my day. I need a job to be able to do that first.

BE sure to check Fred Meyers for the On The Prowl collection they also have the cute little pumpkins and other Wet N' Wild limited edition products. Like I have said in the past, they mark the products down tremendously. 

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 21 Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
If you put your mind to do something, do it. You will never be more proud of yourself. I made a pact with myself that I would continue with the Pink Wednesday and for that matter, the 30 Untrieds. If you asked me a few years ago if I would be blogging about nails I would have told you no and I wouldn't have been very pretty about it. See all my life I have been the tom boy, I had nothing to do with girly stuff. I am not sure what changed my mind but one day I stopped biting my nails, started wearing makeup, and putting girly clothes on. It has made a big difference in my life. Am I upset about my past... No because without that I wouldn't be the girl sitting here blogging about her nail polish, her passion. 
As for today I thought that this would be a fitting match since the summer is turning to fall. Oh I can't wait. I dread Winter, Love Spring and Fall, and have a love hate relationship with Summer.

Sally Hansen Pink Boa is a very bright frosty pink with a blue sheen to it. It is opaque in two coats. You can see the nail line just a tiny bit in the sun which I don't mind because it is only in the sun.  These polishes can be found anywhere for around $1.75-$2.50. 

Revlon Facets Of Fuchsia is a black based polish with bright pink glitters. Small round glitter and larger hexagonal glitter. I would say for the black to be 100% opaque I would do 2 coats. I found this polish at Target for $3.74 I wanted to get its sisters as well, maybe I will go back before the end of the fall and get the other two. I have a $1 off coupon that I can use. Maybe I will be able to find it at WalMart. I put this at the tips of my nails and sponged it up to about 35% of my nail and then I started picking the hex glitters out of the polish and randomly placed them everywhere. 

Sally Hansen Pink-y Ring was apart of the spring/summer collection. It is a clear based nail polish with the same little round, bright pink glitters that are found in Revlon's Facets Of Fuchsia. If I ever want more glitter to FOF I will add this over the top. This time it is just to blend all of the polishes together. Same as above these polishes are found most places and the same price as stated before. 

Phew that is a lot of talking, thanks for reading.
Enjoy yourself
XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 19

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
I can't believe that I haven't worn this yet. After spending $10 on it I should have already. Normally I wouldn't spend so much on a polish but I was buying two things and I had a $5 off coupon to Ulta. My facial scrub would have cost $10 and this would have cost me $10 so I figure I got $5 off of the nail polish making it the regular price for Orly. 
Man I wish I had a job this would make buying polishes so much easier. No I wouldn't just buy nail polishes, I have priorities too. Nail Polish is just my passion. 

Anyway today I have Orly Halley's Comet on my finga nails. Haha! Halley's Comet is a Teal nail polish with bright grass green glitter, flecks, foils, whatever have you.  It is opaque in three to four coats, unless you apply it over a green or blue base. I smudged one nail and had to redo it, the removal was a pain and I had little grass green sparkles everywhere. Like I said earlier that this polish is $10 and came out with Orly's Cosmic FX collection in early 2011. Orly has recently made a Mineral FX collection which is similar to the Cosmic FX line. I think the Mineral FX colors cost $8. 

I absolutely enjoy this color and I am not sure why I didn't include it for my Top Fall Picks for 2011.  I can see me wearing it a lot in the fall. It is such a unique color.

If you can't afford the hefty price tag there are some options for you. There are a few dupes that you can find. 
-Zoya Charla
-Jessie's Girl Glee
-Wet N' Wild Teal Of Fortune - Not an exact dupe a little darker and the green isn't so grassy colored.
-Essence Choose Me

30 Untrieds Day 16

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
I seriously can't believe I am half way through this, I have got exactly 14 days to go. This is a really good challenge for myself, I can get through this. 

Again sorry for posting later in the day but as it gets later in the year here it gets darker, So I wait for the sun to be completely out. 

Today I have two nail polishes. I did one color through out my nails and then went in with a glitter accent nail. Classic right? 
ELF's Medium Red is a blue based red with a cream finish. It takes two coats for the polish to be opaque. This one isn't like it's sister (Coral--Day 7), I don't mind this color or the polish. In fact the polish applied great, dried in a nice time, and hasn't chipped yet. But it still has the opportunity to chip since the day isn't over. ELF can be found at Target and Eyeslipsface.com for $1.
Wet N' Wild Sparked is a pink-y red glitter, with dark pink, light pink and silver glitter. This glitter could be worn all by itself and could be opaque in one coat. I absolutely love it with the red. I fear this one will chip before the other one. Wet N' Wild can be found almost anywhere for around $.65- $1. 


Enjoy yourself

30 Untrieds Day 14 Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
What is better than glitter bomb? A pink glitter bomb. More of a barbie pink. 
Color Club's Space Case is from their Starry Temptress collection. It is a bright almost neon (it dries like a neon) pink with multi colored glitter. Holographic glitter I think. This is two coats and it is sort of a jelly type finish but not too much. I must say one thing about this polish, I don't really like that the glitter is not too visible and kind of looks like bumps in the the polish. Don't get me wrong you can tell it is glitter but it looks sort of dirty in my eyes. It also is really hard to clean away from my cuticles.

I need to get more from this collection. I must visit my local Fred Meyer when I have money because they were on sale there for $1.99 which is about the same as a Sinful Colors Nail Polish. I am not sure the regular price of these polishes because I haven't seen them in stores before seeing them on sale. I would like to say maybe $6? Or maybe $8 who knows.

Next month I may do the 30 Day Challenge... Who knows because Halloween is coming and I would love to have like 13 Days of Halloween or something around there. I am a Halloween fanatic. I may even do a tutorial on some Halloween makeup and nails. What is really going to be hard is Pink Wednesday in Halloween territory... I'll figure out something.



Well I am off to go apply for a butt load of jobs. Here is to hoping I get it.

Enjoy yourself
XOXO

30 Untrieds Day 9

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
Sorry this is a little later in the day. I usually like to get this up sooner but it takes me about 2 hours to get ready in the morning which includes eating, painting my nails, waiting for them to dry, taking pictures, editing the pictures, and then writing the blog about the nails. With taking the pictures I have to make sure the sun is out because I take all of my pictures (now at least) in the light of the sun, I will snap two pictures one in the shade and one in the direct sunlight. I feel that the sun best represents the color. Also my camera doesn't like artificial lights for some weird reason. 

I bought this color about a week or two ago and I was eager to try it because it was similar to its sister also from the same collection. This polish and its sister have the most gorgeous scattered holographic micro glitter. I fell in love with the other one so why wouldn't I fall for this one? 


Wet N' Wild Blue Wants to Be A Millionaire is a gorgeous medium blue. It is a sheer color so layering is most likely a must unless you are like me who rather capture the true color. This is a glitter polish and the glitters are holographic. When dried this polish has a slight gritty finish which I enjoy so I just leave the polish as is. As for the wear of this polish I am not sure but its sister (Hannah Pinktana) did hold up for a week.

Sorry for the nasty gap between the cuticle and the color I didn't realize how big it looks. Icky.

I think the names for the Wet N' Wild Fast Dry nail polishes are so cute, I bet they aren't the first one to come up with names like these but they sure are cute. I have a few of them, some are good and others are just okay and some really suck like FuchsiaRama.

30 Untrieds Day 7 Pink Wednesday

Hello Lacquered Lovelies,
You get what you pay for, in some cases this is very true and in others you get lucky enough to find a gem. I have only tried one other ELF nail polish and thought to myself that I would give another one a try because the other one was sort of old. I am glad that I didn't pay for this one, someone sent it to me. I am sad to say this one was such a bust because it was opaque in one coat. 

Now the pictures make it look like this polish is great but everything went wrong after I photographed the beauty of the polish. The nail polish literally slid off my nail on my left thumb, it left the most disgusting sticky feeling on my nail. I had re-did my thumb and went on taking more pictures. It did it again. Now I am one to wait and take my time on painting my nails because A.) I hate bubbles B.) I don't have much of anything to do with my day. Now it has been an hour, my nails are looking great besides that one that I planned on fixing later. I touched them and they weren't dry even after I used INM Northern Lights (shaken up), this top coat has always dried within five minutes for me. Next thing I know my nails are all smudged and nasty looking kind of like stringy and blehhh.

I am not too happy with it not one bit. 
ELF's Coral is a bright medium pink with a golden shimmer to it. I loved the application because in one coat it was opaque. Just to be sure I did two coats. Drying time was crap I hate polishes that take longer than 10 minutes to dry. 
You can find ELF polishes at Target, some KMarts, and Eyeslipsface.com for around $1 or in sets for $3-$5. I know I have seen them at Big Lots and the Dollar Store for Cheaper. 

Haha on my part, yesterday I forgot to name my post. I am trying to get used to this new interface of blogger. Anyone else kind of confused about it.

Also guess what this lucky lady just picked up today at 8am? Revlons Facets of Fuchsia and Sally Hansen Pink-y Ring. I need to get the blue one too, I almost did today but money is a little low for the polish fund so I passed it up. However I am going to layer these two and see what I get. Total glitterbomb!!!

Enjoy yourself

Haul and New Hair

Hello Lacquered Lovelies, 
I really should save all the new polishes I buy or get sent for one big haul like every two weeks out of the month or so. I really don't like posting a million hauls but I don't ever think that I will buy more and then 12 or so more polishes pop into my hands, I have a problem.
Today I made a trip to Ross to see what kind of Color Club sets they have because I have heard they carry the sets there for fairly cheap. I ended picking up 4 mini Color Club polishes sadly they don't have names and I can't find the packaging, I think my boyfriend accidently threw away the package SIGH. Anyway their is a dark purply grey color that has purple, blue, and silver sparkles, Then there is a plain silver color, a very nude pink color,  then a dusty light lilac color. I was searching for more when I ran across one single Essie called Forever Young which is a bright red, I have so many reds it isn't even funny but I can use the others for frankens now. 
Then I went to Walgreens because I knew they were having a sale on their Wet N' Wild nail polishes (or anything else that is originally $1.99). While I was there I picked up Party of Five Glitters, Blue Wants To Be A Millionaire, and FuchsiaRama. Then I was browsing their Sinful Colors display to see if they had any of the Adventure Island  Collection, sadly no they didn't but I may check the other Walgreens by my house. I would be really mad if I can't get these colors.  I did pick up Nirvana, Savage, and Soul Mate.
Sometime last week I picked up John Frieda's Foam Hair Dye in a deep red color and I took it to my sisters house and she dyed my hair for me. Let me say that foam hair dye is really weird and it claims not to be patchy but it is. I have to dye my hair again.



I think September is going to be a month of 30 Untried Nail Polishes, maybe even more. Look for that on Thursday 


Enjoy yourself

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
