A bit mature for my tastes

Revlon Charismatic. It's frosty and pinky-coral, just a bit... mature... looking.

I'm not really into it, though it's quite flattering.

Yum. Assorted Sinful Colors!

The picture on Island Coral looks weird, but that was all in an effort to get the darn color of the polish accurate. I think I succeeded.

Calypso is super gorgeous and I love it.

Sweet Tooth is a red-leaning light purple with a hint of shimmer and I love it for spring.

Overall, my pictures have weird lighting because all the colors were being difficult to photograph. Still, A+ for Sinful Colors, these polishes are great! 

It's still sunny here

Errr, well, it was. And then it started raining so hard the roads flooded and we almost beat some records. Anyway, when it was sunny, I took these pictures. 

OPI Sanderella. A hard to find and super pretty purple holographic polish. I can post a comparison of my purple holos if you're interested, it'd just take awhile to edit and I don't want to do that if no one really cares.

Talk about late to the party. Wow. The OPI sorbets are so pretty, why didn't I get any when they first came out?! Guy Meets Gal-Vaston is a corally color that is pretty enough on but it's really Too Pink to Hold 'Em that's my favorite. It looks like raspberries. 

Some Rescue Beauty Lounge Spam

I swatched my full collection of RBLs recently as "Rescue Beauty Lounge" seems to be the highest search that brings people to my blog! Yes, I just found the Stats page. Anywho, here's all my RBLs. I adore them all. Mismas is not pictured because she hates my camera.

More Random Swatches

A lot of (random) swatches

All are labeled!

Quick Ulta Haul + Essence Hang Loose

All this for $6. I used a few coupons :)

This color (Essence Hang Loose) is stunning. Really, it's jelly like and delicate and perfect. I'm always impressed with Essence, their sheer pink is my Holy Grail french mani pink. Seriously, this is good stuff for under $2.
But, they have a habit of changing colors that are already out. Want to see what I mean?
Essence What Do U Think? use to be a coral creme. Now it's lighter, oranger, melon-y-er, and has gold shimmer. A substantial difference. But they're still calling it the same polish!(I have no clue why the picture is upside-down or how to fix it... I hate Blogger)

RBL Starfish Patrick

3 coats. A soft jelly melon color that looks wonderful :)

Orange

Or pink. Or coral. I'm not really sure what color SH Snappy Sorbet is, it changes with the light. It's a ____ (<- insert color there) with white/silver shimmer. This was horrible. I couldn't apply it, it was goopy but the pigmentation was horrible, the brush gave me problems for the first time (usually I can use the Insta-Dris well enough). It's close enough in color to OPI Hot and Spicy, for the money just buy the latter. In an effort to hide the smudging and balding and horribleness, I covered it with SH Hidden Treasure. There, much better.

200th post!!!!! Oh, and a haul!

Hiya! This post marks the 200th post on this blog. Wow. That's major! Today I bought a couple polishes, well, actually, today I bought five polishes. I bought $OPI Leaf Him at the Alter and It's Bouquet With Me, Hot Topic Bright Lavender(according to the website), OPI Hot & Spicy, and Icing Dark and Stormy. When I first saw the OPI Hong Kong collection, I fell in love with Jade is the New Black and Suzi Says Feng Shui. I didn't, however, like Hot & Spicy. In store, I loved Jade is the New Black, so I bought it. Today, Hot & Spicy mysteriously found it's way into my cart-thing in Trade Secret. Yeah, a pink-orange, it's unexpected love. The Icing I found 2 for $6, my friend and I split the deal, each one of us buying Dark and Stormy. The two $OPIs are stunning, 'nuff said. The Hot Topic looks amazing, like a pastely-bright purple. I love them all! Oh, and the big purchase for today? A Canon Powershot. My last camera was not great at full hand shots, this baby can handle it all. I wish it was more color-accurate and had better zoom, but oh well! I did swatch a couple of my new acquisitions. Here you all are!
The total haul:

The Icing, it's mesmerizing!

OPI Hot & Spicy, this is a tad less pink, but, still a good Ott-light shot (3 coats, and still a bit streaky, maybe I'm applying a bit too thin)



$OPI Leaf Him at the Alter. Loved this online, liked it in store, hated it at home, adored it on the nail. A medium-dark green with silver shimmer. I thought it'd be sheer, and I've never been so happy to be wrong!
