Revlon parfumerie bordeaux

Here is the first of the scented polishes I picked up. I love deep wine colors paired with my fair skin, and this definitely fits that category. It applied nicely, the round handle of the brush was easy to get used to. As of the next morning the scent was still there, but you have to actually sniff your fingers to smell it, which admittedly looks a little weird to nail- outsiders, lol. I would definitely purchase more of these,  I liked the formula, and the novelty of the scent, and the price was great too. My rite aid had them at $5 and change, plus they were a bogo 50% off ( so of course I had to get two ! ) I'll have pics of the other, china flower, up soon.

Small haul

Last night I accompanied the hubby to get his car stereo installed. While they had the car, we walked around the mini mall, and I made a few polish purchases.  At marshalls I picked up a sephora nail brightener. This is more of a sheer milky color, I don't believe it actually whitens the nail, it just gives it a color adjustment. I also picked up essie olè caliente. I had been searching for this one for a while. After marshalls we stopped at rite aid. The layout of the store was crazy, in the front of the store where you would normally find cosmetic collections were the pantyhose. I don't figure they're that big of a customer draw so it was odd to me. I found the new nailpolish displays in the back corner of the store. I was super excited to find the scented revlons, I have been waiting for come across them for a while now. They were running a bogo 50% off, so I picked up 2. I got bordeaux and china flower. I'll have pics of bordeaux up soon, as that's the one I can't wait to try!

A couple of takes on the texture trend

Here are three textured manis I've done recently. The first is just a straight up textured mani. The color is julie g sugar rush. I love the textured finish of the julie g gumdrop polishes,  I can't say the same for the sally hansen sugar coats, which is an entirely different story.

My second take on the texture mani is a gradient. I used two julie g polishes for this one. The darker color is julie g sugar rush, the lighter color is tangerine dream. I didn't use sponges or anything for the gradient, the texture of the polishes helped it to blend seamlessly.

My third mani uses julie g tangerine dream and rimmel hot chilli pepper. I love how the texture and smooth shiny polish contrast when paired on the nail.

Revlon blue slate

Found this on clearance at christmas tree shops a couplle of weeks ago, and had a coupon for it so brought this one home for free!

Rimmel bronze princess

This is the last of the polishes I picked up on my weekend off. I happened by this at kmart, I'm not sure if it's part of an old collection or something new, because they had two bottles of this on a random shelf. I had a $1 off rimmel coupon, so I brought this home for around 99 cents!

Nuance prickly pear

Another polish I picked up while away. This one is by nuance, Salma Hayek's brand. Prickly pear is a true cactus green, I can't stop staring at this one!

Essie no more film

Here's a couple of pics of essie no more film. This is one of the polishes I picked up on vacay, its a deep purple, but it still looks purple  ( it's not so dark it looks black) I love this one!
