MAC Blue India.

Saturday, May 1


Oh, man. It's been forever since I've done a real post, eh? Sorry about that! School got crazy these past few months, but I'm DONE now. For the semester, at least. I start back up in August.

Anyway, I've got nine polishes to show you, plus a bunch of product reviews, and even a few nail wheels. I'm probably going to spread all of this out over quite a bit of time, but also include some newer manis and whatnot, too. I need to keep a good amount of posts on hand for June, because I'm going to Minnesota and Texas in June for two weeks and won't really have time to blog.


Onto Blue India! Okay, so. I originally wasn't going to buy this polish. It didn't wow me when I first saw it. I mean, sure, the packaging was cute, but did I really love the color? Well. Once I started seeing all the swatches, I knew I had to have it. I ordered it late one night, about a month or so ago. So, so happy I did. It's gorgeous! A beautiful dusty blue with gray undertones. On one blog I read (I can't remember which one, so if it's you, sorry!), the reviewer described it as nautical. And that's exactly what it is. Despite its dark color, it's an excellent nautical, beachy summer color. If you didn't pick this one up, I hate to say it, but you definitely missed out.

Also, application was fantastic. I did three coats, though I could have definitely gotten away with two. It was smooth and the perfect consistency. I wish my swatches did it justice. Honestly, they're atrocious. I was in a hurry, and it was late at night, and they're just bad. Also I had been house-sitting all weekend for a house with four dogs, two cats, and two ferrets. So that's all obviously not good for a manicure, haha.


On another note, have you ordered your bottle of OPI Damone Roberts 1968 yet? From what I hear, this is another can't-miss color. Here's the number to call to order: 310-271-2100. You can also get it in Damone Roberts salons, if you live near one.

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.
