Polish Haul!

Hey everyone! :)

How are ya'll doing?

I am fantastic! Thank you for asking! :p

So, I apologize for the small break I took this week.

As some of you know, I went to NYC over the weekend.

Then when I got home Sunday I had to play a double-header for softball.

That makes for a long day... especially when you're tired.

Then I did have the day off Monday, but I spent the day cleaning! Yes, I cleaned... over doing nails!
What is wrong with me?

Oh yeah... my room was a disaster hole.

I also play volleyball Tuesday's and Thursday's. I've been pretty busy.. it is quite difficult to recuperate after a three day weekend! 

Tonight... I hosted an Arbonne party! Have any of you heard of this?

It's pretty great stuff! I found out about it when I went to a bridal show.

It was REALLY fun. I found the make-up I want to wear for my wedding... I think...

There are soooo many decisions to make! Goodness gracious!

Oh my lanta! I apologize for my life story!

On to the haul already!

 I went shopping on hautelook (http://www.hautelook.com/short/3BneA) during their Color Club sale

They had some really great things on there, but I ended up getting two mini sets.

I got them pretty quickly and was extremely excited!
I got eight colors total including: Style Icon, Muse-ical, By Design, In The Limelight, Ho-Ho Holly, Berry and Bright, Gift of Sparkle, and Snow Flakes.

On to the polish... Beware of pictures!

 

In The Limelight is a true periwinkle, light blue. It is probably my favorite out of all these! The blurred photo shows the true color in my opinion, so I included it.

 



Muse-ical is a very flat, glamorous, and edgy grey. It is very opaque and can be worn with one coat.

 

 

By Design is a medium-dark plum shade. This is also very opaque and one of my new favorites!

 

Style Icon is deep red. It is very classic and perfect for the fall season! Seen below is one coat.

 

Okay, now for the glitter polishes. I only did one nail per color because, let's be honest here, I did NOT want to remove glitter from all my nails four different times! Do you blame me? :p

 

Berry and Bright is a deep red with silver and blue micro glitter.

 

Ho-Ho Holly is a very deep green with blue undertones and gold shimmer. I am so in love with this color. It's perfect!

 

Snow-Flakes is an orange-pink flakie polish. 'nuff said. It is an EXACT dupe for Essie Shine of the Times.

 

 

Gift of Sparkle is my number one favorite out of all my new polishes. It is a purple microglitter base with loads of holographic glitter. It is so beautiful, I can't handle it!

 

 

Woah dang! Is it really midnight already? Where does the time go?

Thanks for reading!

Hello to all new followers! You guys are the best! (hugsss) :)

Now I am going to lay in bed and do a crossword puzzle. How old am I anyway?

 

 

 

C'est fini!

Maybelline Color Show - Fuchsia Fever Swatches and Review

Yesterday, while I was at my drugstore I saw the new Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer's

I decided I wanted to give one a try so I picked up this gorgeous color called Fuchsia Fever.

I was so excited about this color because I saw a Zoya polish almost the same color called Charisma!

So, I thought.. I could save some money buying this one instead.

As soon as I got home I started on my manicure!

I think the color is absolutely gorgeous!

 However, it took me around 3-4 coats to get the opacity I was looking for. That's alot especially since I'm used to only doing two coats!

Also, the polish dries really quickly which is fantastic and allows me to apply the coats at a quicker pace. When the polish dries it has a matte-like finish (you can see this in the first photo), but then I applied a top coat and they became so shiny and gorgeous!

So, overall...

I love the color.

I love how quickly it dires.

I don't love the amout of coats it takes.

I don't particularly love the finish either.

 I would give this polish a C+ grade.
