Nail Polish Stash: Part Four

Sunday, July 11

Click here for the rest of the series.

Taken from Part One: I recently decided to reorganize my polish, since I no longer know how many I own, what colors I own, etc. So, in a way, this series of posts is to help keep me organized. But it's also for you all! If you see anything in these posts that you want to see more of, let me know, and I'll swatch it for you. :] (EDIT: Some photos are clickable, some aren't. I'm not really sure why this is happening, and I've tried to fix it, but nothing seems to work. Sorry!)

MAC Toast Of The Town and a few mini-hauls

Wednesday, February 10

I. Love. This. Polish. Oh my word. It's spectacular. I won it in one of Mary of Body and Soul's Friday Follower Freebies. Thank you so, so, so much, Mary! This polish..I don't even know where to start. Application was, if I recall, decent. Not too thin, not too thick. I want to say this is three coats, but I honestly can't remember. Toast Of The Town is a gorgeous taupe with green/purple duochrome. I honestly could not stop staring at my hands while I had this polish on. To be honest, at first I wasn't sure if I would love it. I knew I'd like it, because I like all things shiny, but I just wasn't sure how it would look on. Boy, was I wrong. This is..it's just wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.

Now onto my mini-hauls. I want to say I got these last Thursday..yes, I think that's right. Well, I stopped into Walgreen's, since they were having a buy one, get one 50% off sale on Sally Hansen, and I've been wanting Grass Slipper. But guess what else they had? Opulent Cloud! Yes! This is the first time I've seen it in person. It's so, so pretty. Anyway, after Walgreen's, we went to CVS, because I wanted to see if they had the Milani holographic collection. They didn't. But they did have Maybelline Mocha Blast, which I've been curious about. I've been craving a nice brown polish lately, and I'm hoping this one will work. I also picked up Sally Hansen Crushed and Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, because I've been seriously drawn to the bright polishes lately. I want warm weather so badly.

Oh, and so yesterday, I was in Publix (For those of you that don't know, Publix is a grocery store). Well, Publix has a little tiny rack of OPIs, which I always glance through whenever I'm in there. Usually they just have boring colors, though. Not this time! They had this past year's holiday collection! I ended up getting Merry Midnight, because I have been seriously lemming it. It's so gorgeous, what with its flakies and glitter and purpley goodness. I don't have a picture, though, because I forgot to take one.

Sorry for not posting in so long! School has been killing me. I'm getting out of town this weekend, though, so I should have a bit of relaxation time in which I can catch up on my posting.
