I'mmm Back

So my impromptu blogcation is now over. *Yay Doing happy dance* Im so so glad to be reconnected with the world virtual and otherwise. And who can I thank for this minor miracle, none other than oh so great step-mommy (whom I've only met once but I love her oodles). Shes like my best friend we can talk about any and everything except her and daddy's bedroom action ( cause thats just gross. Plus Im a firm believer that neither of my parents or my aunts/uncles actually have sex. LMAO).
As usual my thought train got derailed. *HaHa* I was trying to say Im back and I shall have several new post up by the end of this week. So without further adieu lets get started.

Base~ SH nail quencher
Polish~ 1coat Revlon "Galaxy" over 2 coats Kleancolor "Beach Blue"
Top~ SH insta dri topcoat

Belle's Galaxy

I recently acquired the Revlon's Galaxy and Belle glitter topcoat. Now for those who really know me I abhor glitter because its messy and gets everywhere. What they probably dont know is that I love love love glitter nail polish, but who wouldnt love blingy sparkly nails. So Im sure you gals have probably already seen these polishes so I didnt do regular swatches. I decided to show how these look layered over other three different polishes.

So this is Belle. From left to right here she is layered over SH Concrete, a grey franken,Avon black as night, and 3 coats by itself. I personally like Belle layered over lighter colors like the concrete and the grey franken.

Well obviously this beauty is Galaxy and after seeing this over black I can definitely see how it got its name. Layered from left to right here is Galaxy over CC Chelsea Girl, 3 coats by itself, the grey franken, and Avon black as night. Galaxy is one which is at its most high over black or dark polishes.
Well thats it for today I hope all is well and I dont know about everyone else but I am uber tired of this holiday and wish it would go away already.
Until next time lovelies

NOTD:Revlon Hushed Blush

Happy Holidays Luvlies. This one of the Revlons that I picked up from Big Lots last week. They have the two packs for $2 (so if you have been drooling or Galaxy or Belle go check that out mine had tons of them). Anyways this was in the pack with Galaxy. Now I admit this probably not a color I would have given a shot had it had been sitting alone. I got the pack because I needed Galaxy but once I saw Hushed Blush I was smitten. This was actually the one I was the most excited to wear out of all the new polishes I got last week. Its like a golden peachy coral beige-y color if that makes any sense. I cant explain it but its so demure and adult and sophisicated so not my usual vampy, moody or eye blindingly bright colors. Its calming and I love it. So enough talk and allow me to introduce Hushed Blush...

So until next time
Stay Polished

September Haulage 2010

So basically this is semi big purchases I did last month. One from the beginning of September and on from last tuesday. So I guess Ill start with tuesdays purchases.

I picked up 3 Sally Hansen mini polish set at Big Lots for $2.50each. Unfortunately none of them have names printed on them. ( So my next trip to Rite-Aid the salelady will think Im crazy when she sees me doing bottle comaprison in the aisle trying to find full sizes of several of these.) They also had the Nail Tek Step 1 primer on clearance for 2.99 so I picked that up as well as a $5.00 Revlon manicure gift set because it had a glass file. I should have gotten 2 of each now that I think about it.

from l to r: ChG five golden rings, Nina Blu Blaze, ChG golden enchantment, and moonlight

 In Sallys I picked up 4 polishes from the clearance table.  I had a buy 2 get a dollar off coupon for China Glaze so since they were on $1.99 on sale I ened up getting them all for about $7.50.

Everything below I purchased from Transdesign.

 from l to r: China Glaze lubu heels, high maintenance, and first and last

 from l to r: China Glaze mummy may i, zombie zest, ick-a-bod-y, fast forward topcoat

 from l to r: China Glaze devotion, joy, and  awaken

 China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald

Nail Tek  foundation II

So what have you hauled lately and do you see anything here that you own or that your just dying to get your hands on?

Dollar Tree / Wal-Mart Haul

These are the goodies that I picked up in Pocomoke this past weekend.

This is Revlon Minted. This is I believe 2 coats maybe 3. This is a pretty shade of mint though kinda light for my taste. Application was ok though drying time could have been a little faster.

I absolutely love matte polishes so I hit the jackpot at the dollar tree. They had the old Maybelline mattes.

This gorge beauty is Maybelline Matte Grey. The application was flawless. It only really needs 1 coat but because Im clumsy I did 2.

This is Maybelline Matte Sapphire. I almost didnt get this because I wasnt feeling the color. I changed my mind fast when I realized it was a glittery matte. When matte this really isnt my cup of tea but topcoat this baby  and she just shines like the night sky.

Here is Maybelline City Slick. this is my fave from this haul.(not surprising since grey/pewters are my fave polish color after Purple of course) Great application also a 1 coater.

Maybellines Purple Aluminum has to be the stand out of this outing. I really didnt have high hopes  for this one based on the bottle and boy was I wrong. Looking at the bottle all I saw was straight silver microglitter/shimmer in what I assumed was dark grey polish. I started to reshelve it until I read the name. You guys know Im a sucker for a purple polish. Im glad I kept this one. She isnt gorgeous she is just plain beautiful.

This pretty is Revlon Lilac Pastelle. I couldnt really get her color accurate. She is a touch more purple than these pictures show.

I picked this up earlier last week in Rite-Aid. I went with full intention to purchase Sally Hansen Purple Gala but somehow ended up with Purple Pizzazz because I was rushing and got the names mixed up. She is still pretty though. She has what looks to be mini flakies. Pictures arent color accurate.

So if you have any of these tell me how you like them?
