A FEW MORE SH NEW LENGTHS

Found a few more of these that I had not posted yet. Found these at Dollar Tree. It's been a while though since I got them, they have been in my untried box of polishes for ever.


SANDSTONE CREME




MYSTERIOUS CREME




MARCASITE FROST




SUGAR AND SPICE FROST

LIPPMANN - GLITTER IN THE AIR

What can I say about this polish that hasn't already been said? This is one of those PERFECT polishes, where you wouldn't change a thing and you just love wearing it. I really love the milky base of this polish. The two colors of glitter couldn't be a better choice.

You can buy Lippmann polishes direct from her website, but I see this one is temporarily sold out. It retails for $18.00.









*product sent to me for review

SALLY HANSEN - GENTLE BLOSSOM

I really liked this when I picked it up at walmart, but once I swatched it I was only feeling ho-hum about it. I don't know why either, it is a shade I would normally like. I like pastel mint greens, I like subtle silvery shimmer, it applied nicely . . . it corn-fuzzles me why it is falling flat for me.







LIPPMANN - TODAY WAS A FAIRYTALE

This is the second Lippmann polish I told you about. Like I said before, not sure of a release date for this just yet, and I *think* it is part of her Holiday collection.

I LOVE THIS!!! I really liked Boom Boom Pow, but I LOVE this one! It is really pretty unique. I tend to want to call this sort of a cornflower blue with silver glitters. Other times it seems to look more gray than cornflower blue. This one was a tad bit more buildable than Boom Boom Pow, but not much more. But I thought it looked cool with that weird colored blue base that I just fell in love with it's sheer version - shocker, I know! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I did 3 coats below.

I do have a layered look I did with this one for my NOTD that I will post for you today.





(Sorry forgot a name label pic, but will have one in my next post!)

SALLY HANSEN - PROBLEM CHILD

This was the second of the Sally Hansen Tracy Reese Fall 2010 collection that I found. I think I liked this one a little bit better than Sequin Scandal, the flakes showed up a little bit better. This one applied really nice two, only needing 2 coats. This does look really dark though under normal lighting.

FEATHERS THREE WAYS

I did this feather design the other day over Pure Ice - Purple Reign. I really liked it and thought it would be one that my Mom would like, hence her feather nails I showed you all yesterday.

J2 - DUPES FOR REVLON DARK PLEASURES

J2 is a new brand of nail polish I found at - guess where. . . . . the local wig and beauty supply store! I picked up three bottles and after getting them and doing a little research I found out that two of the ones I picked up are exact dupes (including sharing the exact same name) for a couple of the discontinued Revlon Dark Pleasures nail polishes. I picked these up for under $2 each.
