My awesome Dollar Store Find!!!

I went to the Dollar Store today during lunch because I needed to get some cookies :) As always I like to look around and see what they have. Well I was walking down an aisle and just happened to look down at a box on the floor and noticed the little packages looked fimiliar, so I took a closer look....

It was a box of Sally Hansen Color Quick Chrome polish pens!!!! I've heard these are great for stamping but I never wanted to spend the $7-$8 they are always priced. For $1 each I couldn't pass it up so I grabbed a few. I think I got at least one of each color and then a double of ones I figured I use more. This is what I picked up:

These were the only colors they had. I'm going to check the one by my house after work.

Has anyone else been able to find these at the dollar store? Are you going to try and look for them? Please leave any questions/comments below, and thanks for reading my blog! :)

Essie Luxeffects.... Flakies!!!!

So I've seen a few posts about Essie's new Luxeffects collection which is all topcoats. I got excited when I saw some of the swatches. You can check them out for yourself... Here are a few:

Chalkboard Nails - Essie Gold As It Gets
The Polishhaholic - Essie Holiday 2011 Luxeffects
Gotham Polish - Essie Shine of the Times

 *drool*
I knew I wanted "Shine of the Times" and "As Gold as it Gets" for sure. Now something you may not know about me... When I get a lemming, I become crazy obsessed with finding it and getting it. So as you can imagine I was going everywhere that I knew carried Essie polishes. I read on another blog that she found them at Ulta the other day, so that's where I went during my lunch break today :)

I was so happy to find that they had the whole collection. I decided to just get the two that I really wanted. So I grabbed one each of "Shine of the Times" and "As Gold as it Gets"... I walked away and was doing some browsing and decided to go back and snatch up the other SotT they had... hehehe yes I'm a greedy hoarder lol. But at least I am happy!!



Essie - Shine of the Times, As Gold as it Gets, Shine of the Times



I couldn't wait to use SotT so I decided to layer it over the polish I already had on, while in the Ulta parking lot lol, which is "Under Your Spell" from Wet n' Wild, a very pretty blackened red. With SotT over it, it really made me think of autumn leaves. So pretty, it was distracting me while I drove back to work, and even now while typing this post. Here are a few pics, sorry that they are so crummy, I took them with my phone so I could post them now, otherwise I'd have to wait til tomorrow since my internet is down :(

It looks a lot like Nubar "2010" But I think SotT is a bit denser with the flakies... maybe I will do a comparison... and if you are wondering what is on my index finger it is Nicole - "Make a Comet-ment" which looks a lot like China Glaze "Fairy Dust" IMO, but I think Nicole is a bit denser with the glitter :)

Well that's it for now. Please leave any questions or comments below. Are you planing on getting any of these polishes? Thanks for reading!!! :)

My haul from 7 Mile Fair a couple of weeks ago...

This is kinda late but, better late then never right :)  Warning: Picture Heavy!!!

So If your not from Milwaukee, WI your probably wondering what the heck is a 7 Mile Fair lol. When I was a kid it was all out doors and it when along the sides of a road called "7 Mile Road" You could find so much stuff. It's kinda like a huge flea market and everyone is selling something different. A lot of the stuff is focused on Mexican, and Spanish people with the music and clothing and food. (No offense to anyone)

I've always loved going because you never know what you are going to find. Nowadays it is mostly all in doors in a building off of 7 Mile Road. During the summer and warm months there is also a large outside section where people peddle their wares lol. A lot of them have polish so that was my mission when I went to find some good polish. Well this is what I found:

 My 18 new polishes and a bottle of Kleancolor Cuticle remover

 Holo's!!!!, Real holo's that is not like the Chunky holos lol

 I heard the metallic's are good for stamping, I will have to try it out :)

 I accidently bought 2 bottles of "Sparkle Emerald" from 2 differnet spots because they looked different at the time lol, also, not sure why it is emerald since it's actually blue.... hmmmm

Well there you have it. I plan to go back maybe next weekend to look for more, but this time I will be armed with a list lol.

Thanks for reading and please leave any questions or comments below, Have a great weekend!!!

More KleanColor Chunky Holo!!!

First off, I am really sorry about not posting sooner. I was going to the other day but we are having issues with our Internet service so the only place I can post from is my work. So without more talk here are some more of the Kleancolor Chunky Holo collection :) Enjoy!!!

First up is "Clover":

 This is a very pretty green and I just loved it in the bottle. I swatched it above alone and over black. Just about all of the Chunky Holo's look the same over black. Since "Clover" is so sheer I decided to use underwear with this polish.

 I used 2 coats of Jordana "Good Luck Charm" I felt like this was close to the color of clover and would work great with it.

 This is 2 coats of "Clover" over "Good Luck Charm."I love the sparkle. I love green too, so this was a win for me.

Next is "Scarlet":

 As you can see in this swatch that the "Scarlet," when layer over black becomes reddish too. I like the effect, but for this post I didn't layer.

 This is a very deep red. I didn't need underwear at all and with 2 coats I had full opacity. The red is definitely one of my favorites from this collection. I love the sparkle and how it isn't over powering at all. With my crappy lens on my camera right now it is had to get picture on the flakies in the polish.

The last color for today is "Candy":

 This is another holo that looks a bit different over black. It gives the black sort of a murky brown color. Not so sure how I feel about that lol. This is a pretty bright pink, but it's not neon.

Like "Scarlet" I did not need underwear for this polish. I hit full opacity in 2 coats. I think out of all of the polishes this is the brightest colored one.

Like another reader posted, these polishes look more like flakies then they do holo. Not sure why  they called them Chunky Holo's because there is nothing holo about them... anyways lol

The formula in these polishes are very thick, so you have to make sure the first coat is mostly dry before you add the next coat otherwise it's just going to get messy. There is a slight odor with these polishes but nothing real strong.

If your interested in buying these polishes yourself right now the seller on Ebay is having a sale, the link to the current active auction for these polishes is Kleancolor Nail Polish - Chuky Holo Set You get all 9 of the Chunky Holos and a bottle of Madly Matte.

The sellers store can be found here:

I've made an agreement with the seller that for every 10 people that order from them from my blog I will receive some polishes and I plan on using some of them for giveaways!!! When you order just make sure to use the code "peacock" They prices are great and cheaper then most other online stores. Please go check it out.

Again the ebay store is Beauty Couture and make sure to use the code "peacock"

Sorry...

Uggg... I've been horrible this past week. I've had a lot going on including spending all day Sunday working on my mom's computer trying to get rid of a virus.... and I don't even know that much about computers but my mom swears I do lol. I ended up reformatting her harddrive. How does the woman get so many viruses???

Any ways, I promise to have up some more reviews of the Kleancolor Chunky holo series tonight. I'm going to try and get a few posts lined up and ready to go too so I don't get behind on posting again. I also have a post of a recent haul from 7 Mile Fair (huge flea market dealeo) from a couple weeks ago.

Again I am sorry and I will try really hard to not let it happen again. Until later please enjoy this little piece of total cuteness :)

These are my babies (Gir and Stitch) sitting in front of my vanity while I'm getting ready :)
