My Sunday Haul

I don't do sports so I decided that while everyone was getting ready for the game that I would do some hunting. I'm glad I did. I killed 3 lemmings :)

Here's what I all got....

I went to a small nail supply shop that I found a few months ago. They usually have a lot of OPI and China Glaze and some Color Club,  Here is what I got from there...

  (CG "Techno" was actually from Sally's I just put them all together for the picture)

 "Sex On The Beach" and "Sea Spray" just peaked my interest when I saw them so I picked them up. "Awakening" was one of my lemmings. "Techno" is from the new Electropop  collection. This was the only one that interested me in the whole collection. Seeing them in person didn't change that either. :( Pity, CG is one of my favorite brands... I was disappointed in the new collection.. oh well.

2 more of my lemmings that I killed was O.P.I."My Private Jet" and "I Lily Love You." Sadly "MPJ" is the re-released version without the holo, but I still like it and I wanted both the original and re-release! Now I just need to find the original. I also picked up my very first Color Club polishes.

So Pretty!!!

I also stopped at Walgreens just to check it out and they had a big display of these magnetic polishes. I've been wanting to try out the magnetic trend, but just never came across them, so I decided to pick up a couple. They had so many colors it was hard to decide which to get so I just went with pretty basic colors for me. They don't have any names, but I made sure to get one of each of the 3 magnet types. I'm wearing the green one right now.
Just

Just by looking at the bottles the first con I can already is is the magnet itself. It's part of the can so you can't pull it off like some other brand, and it doesn't have the little lips on them like others have, but I was still willing to give them a try.

The Milani came from CVS and the others were from Wal-Mart. I've bee looking for the Red one-coat-glitter and I has happy to find it with the release of new glitters. The others just grabbed my attention so I got them :) No polish left behind lol

Pure Ice  and petites were also from Wal-mart. Not sire if the Pure Ice  colors are new, but I don't think I've seen them before. petites is a new one for me too.

These I snagged from Dollar Tree. Nothing special, but the glitters are sitting in polish for testing to see how they hold up.

I love the stars. For $1 you get 1 packet of pink holo glitter, 1 packet of silver holo glitter, 1 packet of black shiny stars, and 1 packet of white rhinestone. Not a bad deal. I bought 2 of them right away.

Well that's it. I'm pretty happy with my haul. What do you think. Do you have, or want any of these polishes? Are there any you would like to see swatches of? Please let me know and leave any other questions or comments below, and as always, Thank you for reading!

Tick:Tock Cosmetics!!!! Picture Heavy!!!

I finally got the internet back!!! *does a happy dance* Ok so I'm just going to jump into it since I've been gone for a bit.

I recently bought the sampler pack from Tick:Tock Cosmetics.  I was lucky enough to be named the fan of the week on their Facebook page so I got a store credit and since I was having such a hard time deciding what to get I went for the sampler :) For $20 you get a sample of all 32 shadows and a full Infinity eye shadow base in "Milky Way" which is white. In this review I'm only able to show 31 colors because they were out of "Delorean" So I will add that once I recieve it :)

Be warned this is very picture heavy. This is my first time doing swatches so I hope this turns out ok. I wanted to make sure I was able to really show what each shadow looks like. All shadows are swatched over T:T's Infinity base in "Milky Way" So here it goes!!!!

In each set the first picture shows the shadow in the container I put them in w/original label from the baggies that came in. The second photo is the shadow swatched on my hand. The third photo shows the actual product.

I love all of the colors. So far I've only used a couple but I'm excited to try them all. The application of them was awesome and the color payoff it great as well. As you can see in the pictures they all have some sparkle to them which is another reason I like them. I love how all the names are time themed. Each color is so different than all the others and they are all a must have in my book. Also you can see that you recieve a very genorous amount of product for samples.

I'm very happy with all of the shadows and I highly recommend them if you are looking for some awesome colors that have some sparkle to them.

Are there any colors you would like to see on the eye? I'd be happy to take requests and post pics of them. Do you have any of these shadows?

As always thank you for reading and please leave any questions of comments below.

Stupid Internet!!!!

So I can only access the Internet from work right now. That's why I haven't been posting. I have not abandoned my treasured followers. I should be back on Thursday night when the Internet at home has been fixed. My first post back will be a review on Tick:Tock Cosmetics. I bought their samples collection so I was able to swatch ALL of their shadows. So much prettiness to look forward to :) Until then! :)

I Gotta Confection To Make...

First I know I've been a very bad blogger :( but migraines, depression, and new medication can do that to you. I'm a pretty open person and see no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed by it. I've had migraines since I was about 5yrs old, and have had on + off depression since about 14. It's part of who I am and all I can do it try and work through it and move on. Soooo... enough of that, on to the pretties you came for :)

"I Gotta Confection To Make" is a polish from the Spoiled line by WNW. I saw it today at CVS and even though I don't like pink much, I tend to fall for pink polishes a lot... Weird! About a week or so ago I first bought "Tip Your Waitress" which is pretty much a neon pink, and I had to have it lol. When I saw IGCTM I knew I was going to have to use the two together and that is just what I did :)

This is two coats of "Tip Your Waitress" Cameras really don't like neon colors. I tried to get it as close to as IRL as possible. It's a very pretty color and it dries to a semi-gloss. It's not matte, but it isn't super shiny either.

This is two coats of "I Gotta Confection To Make" I was curious if the pink base of it would change the color of "Tip Your Waitress" but it didn't at all which I was happy about. I love how it came out. Almost like a piece of candy coated in sugar :) I'm sure you could wear IGCTM on it's own. I swatched it on a nail wheel and I think maybe 3 coats at the most would give you full opacity. The formula on both polish was so smooth, like butta, the one thing I found annoying was the brushes are to wide for my narrow little pinkie nails lol, but I can deal with it.

Bonus.... Since I've been neglecting my readers:

I've seen a lot of posts about Revlon "Royal" and decided I had to get this polish here it is...

First I did two coats of "Royal" and added two coats of KleanColor "Grand Finale"

 Also I went to Ulta during lunch today and bought two of the O.P.I. colors from the Nicki Minaj collection, one of them was "Save Me' This is one coat over "Royal"...

"Save Me" is awesome. It's similar to "Grande Finale" but it has so much more added to it... "Royal" on the other hand, while it is a very pretty blue, was a PITA application wise. It didn't want to go where I wanted it to go and I had to re-do a couple nails. ugggg I'm not sure if I am going to keep it or trade it. It's  sooo pretty though... Oh well.

That's it for today.

Do you have "Royal"? If so what has your experience been like?
