I stumbled upon these beauties in my local drugstore but they were totally sold out! Bummer, but only for a few days until I was able to order them directly from Milani's website at $20 each. The palettes in the store were sold out, but they still had sample palettes to play with and swatch. The colors looked so pretty and the golden glitter was calling my name. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each palette has 12 shadows and are cased in a mirrored gold finish. They also include a full size mirror. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What's even better are the shadows inside. Below is the Bold Obsessions palette. Can you see why I'm crazy over the gold? It's even more beautiful in person. This palette is a combo of shimmers and mattes, perfectly balanced to create numerous looks. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Most Loved Mattes palette is also beautiful, but many of the shades are close to my skin tone. I just wish there were a few darker shades to create more of a contrast. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l3QNaBOyCF8/WoIvjsNk0hI/AAAAAAAACAc/kciY94u_xzIT_W1qKoceqaepsaYAiBHNwCLcBGAs/s1600/Milani%2BMattes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l3QNaBOyCF8/WoIvjsNk0hI/AAAAAAAACAc/kciY94u_xzIT_W1qKoceqaepsaYAiBHNwCLcBGAs/s400/Milani%2BMattes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After swatching I see more contrast but I still wish there were a few more dark colors! I do like that there are several shades of beige (50 shades of beige, lol) because I find they all look different against my skin tone. It's tricky to find just the right shade that serves as a base color and has some color correcting properties to help with the darkness of my lids. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The palettes look and feel high quality. The performance of the Bold Obsessions palette surprised me. I tried 6 of the shadows and they applied and blended very easily. They are pigmented and have great color payoff. I also like the matte palette but honestly I have not used it yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think these are a great buy for what you are getting. Their quality rivals some of the higher end brands at half the price! </div>

Hey beauties! Today I want to share Impress Manicure "press on nails" with you, specifically, the Christian Siriano collection. <span style="text-align: center;">I've been rocking Impress Nails over the last few months and as a fan of Project Runway I was extremely excited to discover Christian designed a line for the company. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p8VjuH3L0nY/Wm_l3Q4cyhI/AAAAAAAAB_o/zNYRNfBrfBwTEWCLeXjtHFuJzIvfqQm-QCLcBGAs/s1600/Impress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p8VjuH3L0nY/Wm_l3Q4cyhI/AAAAAAAAB_o/zNYRNfBrfBwTEWCLeXjtHFuJzIvfqQm-QCLcBGAs/s400/Impress.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The great thing about his collection is that most of them are metallic-ey. A small accomplish but nice because most press on nails are usually opaque. Christian's nails are glossy, metallic and there's even a holographic set. I choose 3 from the collection but I will be purchasing more as they are limited edition. </div>

Here's the holographic set, Stained Glass. I tried to show how they look different depending on how the light hits them. I got soooooooooo many compliments on this set. </div>

As usual the nails lasted all week! The down side is that Lacey Rose started to chip/peel at about day five. Overall I'm really impressed with these press ons. Christian did a fabulous job!</div>

Zoya is offering a mystery box and free shipping with the purchase of any 3 polishes. Their polishes are $10 each so that's $30 for 3 polishes and whatever extras that are included in the mystery box which has a retail value of $120. I went back and watched a few videos from previous years and I must admit I am tempted. The offer is good until January 26th or until supplies last. </div>

The boxes will ship out starting January 26th and are limited to 1 per account. </div>

I ran across this beauty during a drugstore run for tomato soup to help ward off a cold. The palette retails for about $11 at the drugstore and has 8 shadows and 2 highlighters. </div>

What caught my eye is the cool wave pattern, which I've seen in similar higher end brands. Upon closer inspection, I noticed how pretty the colors were. A few of the shadows glistened under the store's fluorescent light. I like that there's a warm and cool side, a little something for everyone. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The mid light purple is pretty but it fades against my eyelids. I had to apply it several times to get the color to appear. </div>

I really like the design of the palette and the fact that you can create a cool vs warm look. Of course you can dibble and dabble on both sides to create your special design. As far as performance and quality of the shadows, they are drugstore standard. The shadows blend easily but most of them are sheer. I used both sides and had to pile on the colors to get them to show. The dark colors in the palette (grey and brown) are sheer as well and are barely noticeable on my skin tone, unless I applied several layers. The glitters are lightly pigmented and translate to a silvery white against my skin, but on a positive note, they do last all day. I used the highlighters for the inner eye and they were okay. I used the pink/pearl highlighter again today and there's little color payoff unless I'm heavy handed. All of that being said, I was able to create a pretty look using this palette alone, I just had to put in a little more work than usual. </div>

The Chocolate Gold eyeshadow palette is the latest from Too Faced's plethora of fall releases. The layer of melted gold embedded on top of the chocolate bar immediately caught my attention and drew me in. </div>

The palette has the typical chocolate bar semi-random format of 16 shadows (2 extra large). There's real gold inside, where and what colors, I'm not sure. </div>

At first glance the theme of the palette seems colorful, but when you subtract the bright purple and green everything else is pretty neutral. Here's swatches of the first half of the palette. Chocolate Gold, the large transition shade, is a little too bright for my taste but would probably add to a dramatic holiday look. I'm loving the fifth color here, Old Money, a golden bronze. New Money, the bright purple, is gorgeous and would be a fun summer shade to sport. All of the colors swatched here are shimmers. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the second half of the swatches, you can really see how neutral the palette is. This is a combo of shimmer and mattes. I'm loving the look of Famous (warm gold) and Classy&Sassy (rose gold). Rollin' in Dough is a little too light for me to use as a transition shade but so So Boujee is perfect. </div>

After the disappointment of the White Chocolate Bar, I didn't have high expectations of this palette, but I was pleasantly surprised. So far I have used 6 shades and they applied and blended beautifully. Matte lovers may not be drawn to the palette since it's mostly shimmers. I usually were mattes, but the pop of brights and the shiny gold drizzle drew me in. </div>

There were 2 lip cremes in the Holiday display. I chose the darker color Making Me Matte, because I thought it would go along better with the eyeshadow. There was also a lighter lip creme available. Like the name suggests the lippie is metallic. The best thing about it, is that it lasts all day! The down side is that it can be drying. I countered that by applying lip balm first. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been using these 2 products all week and I'm pleasantly surprised. The palette consists of 5 shimmers and one matte black and can be used alone to create an everyday or dramatic evening look. I normally don't wear shimmers as an all over/transition color, but surprisingly it worked! Color 1, the largest color in the palette, is a shimmer and I was able to use it as an all over/transition color. It's very pigmented and helped to camouflage my dark circles. The orange and red (colors 3 and 4) blend effortlessly and the gold (color 2) was great as an inner eye shade. Of course you can mix and match them however you choose. Overall, I'm impressed with the performance of these products. Definitely worth the ten bucks, but an even better deal if you can catch them at BOGO 50% off!</div>

Today I have the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism palette to share with you. I purchased it from the ABH website and it arrived a few days later. The swatches online had me excited about this palette because they seem to look good on every skin tone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the palette alone. There are an equal number of mattes and glitter/shimmers. I'm not sure why they positioned them in the palette scattered, instead of putting glitters in one row and mattes in the second row. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first row is my least favorite. The white glitter is somewhat sheer and I can't imagine when I would use the bright neon yellow. The purple glitter (osiris) is also on the sheer side. My favs from this row are eden (peach) and obsidian (black). Holly bat man, this black is pigmented. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Names left to right: lucid, eden, unity, sphinx, osiris, sphere and obsidian. </div>

The second row is my favorite from the palette. Dimension (grey/purple) is a gorgeous shimmer and I can imaging a glamourous smokey eye with it. Pyramid and eternal are very wearable shimmers since the colors are in the neutral family. Throne is a gorgeous green and I choose it for this look. </div>

I like this palette but I was a bit deflated after swatching the first row and having difficulty picking up some of the colors. The shadows that I used for the above look applied and blended very easily (unity, eden, throne and obsidian). The mattes feel soft and buttery. The shimmer/glitters are nice but the white and purple will require some work to build up (if you don't use a colored base)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a predominantly a neutral palette with a few pops of color thrown in for interest: green, purple and neon yellow. I would equate this palette to the Subculture palette as far as style and value. </div>

Fenty is here! This is the first makeup line I've ever seen to crash Sephora's website! I purchased online at about 2am after a bout with insomnia but realized it was available in stores the next day. So I visited Sephora for some live swatches. For those of you that are wondering about the shade match, I usually wear NC44 in MAC (NC42 in winter and NC45 in summer). The shade I selected, 310 is closer to NC44. 330 is more golden and reminds me of NC45. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The great thing about this foundation is that you are sure to find a match! It was beautiful seeing the array of foundation on display in store. All 40 shades! I could easily go up or down a shade to switch from winter to summer. I actually found 3 shades that match me all lined up in a row. How cool is that?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The foundation is $34 which is great price for the quality of makeup. It's matte, long-lasting, light weight and comes in a glass bottle with a pump. </div>

I really like the foundation. I've used it with and without primer and it looks about the same. When I want to disguise my large pores I use a tiny bit of POREfessional over my nose only, then proceed with the foundation. It lasts all day with a bit of shine peaking through at the end of the day (after about 8 hours). For reference I have combo/oily skin, with a very oily T-zone during the summer months. This foundation was able to help control my oil. I will probably have more oil appear during the warmer months, but this was okay to use during September with very little oil break through. </div>
<br />
I also picked up the killawatt freestyle highlighter. I wanted Trophy Wife but I didn't think I would wear it very often so I choose <b>Mean Money/Hu$tla Baby</b> instead. It's a pretty peachy/golden shade. I thought I could create more of a natural highlight with this shade. The good thing about the highlighters is that they can also be used for eyes, shoulders or wherever you want to shine. At $34 this is priced on the higher side, in my opinion.<br />

The last item I picked up is the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer. It was $18, and as the name implies, a universal color for everyone. I like the shade on me. It makes me look like I'm not trying very hard. The packaging is nice but the shape of the bottle makes me feel like I'm not getting a lot of product, there's 9ml inside. The gloss doesn't feel tacky or stick but only lasts about 2 hours on me.</div>

There were several products I did not purchase and what seemed like an endless array of cheek products. I was intrigued by the magnetic contour trio, <b>Match Stix Trio</b>, but could not find a good color match. My favorite product from the line is the foundation. It's long-lasting and matte without being cakey or heavy. The price is great at $34 for 32 ml and a glass bottle. The foundation looks great on and films/photographs beautifully. I also like the <b>Killawatt Freestyle Highlighters</b> but they are a bit expensive, in my opinion. I'm an avid makeup brush lover but I skipped the cool shaped brushes this go around. If there is anything I would re-purchase it would definitely be the foundation. I was going to return shade 330 but I just may hang on to it for the summer months. </div>

The palette is about 4 x 5 inches and has 12 shadows, all matte of course. I like the size of the shadows. They seem larger than what you normally get in a Too Faced palette. Each shadow weighs about 1.25 grams. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As far as texture I didn't notice a velvety matte feel, they just feel like regular matte shadows to me. What am I missing? They are comfortable and they do not feel dry. The apply smoothly with little patch-i-ness with the exception of the dark brown in the collection; chocolate dipped, which I could not get to work very well. </div>

I was prepared to not like this palette just do to pricing alone. $45 is a bit pricey for 12 shadows, in my opinion. I'm accustomed to getting more product with the $50 price tag, but I this case, I believe the shadows are of a higher quality than the larger palettes with more product. The packaging is very nice, feels high quality and durable. I just wish the collection was named after a Fall fruit or something else other than peaches, lol. Too Faced already came out with a peach palette so I don't understand why they had to repeat the theme. The shadows are scented but the scent is barely noticeable. Other than that it's hard to find any negatives about this palette. Overall I'm impressed with the shadows. The colors are beautiful, easy to blend, well pigmented and will play well into the Fall. <br />

Hi beauties! Just wanted to make a quick post to alert you of this beauty deal. <a href="https://www.macys.com/shop/makeup-and-perfume/estee-lauder?id=33607&edge=hybrid&cm_sp=c2_1111US_browse_beauty-shop-by-category-makeup-_-row2-_-slide1_image_estee-lauder%2C-beauty-in-a-box%2C-choose-your-free-boxed-set-with-%2437.50-estee-lauder-purchase%2C-an-%2485-%24115-value%2C-one-gift-per-customer%2C-while-supplies-last%2C-shop-now%2C-only-at-macy%C2%92s%21&cm_kws_path=makeup" target="_blank">Macy's</a> is offering a free gift set with $37.50 Estee Lauder purchase.<br />
<br />
There are 3 to choose from: Glow, Lift and Detox. I got the glow set because it's mostly makeup: mascara, bronzer, lip liner and gloss. There's also a cleaner and night repair complex but I mostly wanted the makeup. I've been wanting to try the Doublewear Foundation so I figured this would be a good time.<br />
<br />
The other 2 sets are skincare based: lift or detox.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not sure how long this deal will be available. The website states "while supplies last"!<br />
<br />
<br />

Lorac really paid attention to detail, starting with the elegant packaging of the foil box and baroque mirror. This palette reminds me of the Disney palette's that were sold in drug stores last year, a one inch palette created in storybook format. The shadows are buttery and pigmented. I think most will enjoy the shadow selection due to the neutral palette. It has just the right balance of mattes, satins and glitters! </div>

It's glitter baby!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Too Faced Glitter Bomb eye shadow palette. I wasn't sure what to expect but I usually love Too Faced shadows so I snatched it up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's just talk about the packaging for a moment. Isn't it lovely?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Hp_sLyI0M4/WTOHHW2kAqI/AAAAAAAAB08/m2gTus9iYOkUvVavOrIF1X7VOszbEWEQwCLcB/s1600/20170603_163916.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Hp_sLyI0M4/WTOHHW2kAqI/AAAAAAAAB08/m2gTus9iYOkUvVavOrIF1X7VOszbEWEQwCLcB/s400/20170603_163916.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

There are 8 glitters shadows and 2 bases (white & black). Honestly, I was slightly disappointed to see the glitters were not as vibrant as the wording on the package. They are beautiful, just not what I expected. The color range reminds me of the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself palette. Totally different formulas, but the colors are similar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're familiar with Too Faced glitters, you will easily recognize the dry formula. They look like nothing on dry skin. You will need a sticky base to get them to pop. </div>

The palette is a little messy to use, but it's glitter which is common. The colors are gorgeous but not what I expected. Overall I like the palette but the glitters are not as vibrant as I thought they would be. Maybe I will enjoy them more if I use glitter glue to intensify the look. I'm going to try single shadow looks for work paired with a matte to calm things down. </div>

The <a href="http://www.sephora.com/naked-skin-shapeshifter-P41983788?skuId=1945906&keyword=urban%20decay%20shape%20shifter" target="_blank">Urban Decay Naked Skin Shapeshifter</a>, which is a 3-in-1 palette that allows you to contour, color correct and highlight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At first I was mostly drawn to the packaging, a double-sided, double mirror bi-fold (or is it tri-fold?) case. The 2 mirrors add weight so it is a little on the heavy side for a palette. </div>

There are 2 color options based upon your foundation shade. Light Medium Shift for shades 0.5 to 7.0, and Medium Dark Shift for shades 6.0 to 12. I selected <b>Medium Dark Shift</b> because I wear 7.5 in their foundation.<br />

Swatches of the powders: They are extremely pigmented. I wore the medium contour and it's dark against my skin. I'll probably use dark contour during the summer months. The last shade is the pearl highlighter blended out.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this to be the most difficult side to work with. I have dark circles so I'm always trying out new concealers and color correctors. I found these to be just "okay". The orange was too dark for my skin, and the lighter shades couldn't cover my circles completely. I'm going to keep playing with it to see if I can master these creams. It usually takes me a few attempts to master new makeup.</div>

Swatches of the creams. They are very pigmented as well I just haven't found the right combination for my skin just yet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I found the creams are just okay. While they are well pigmented, I couldn't make them work on my skin. I really like the powder side. I'm absolutely in love with the powder pearl highlighter. I don't have anything like it and it gives the most incredible glow! That makes this palette a yes for me. I'm not sure if the palette is worth it for the highlighter alone. It doesn't really have a name so I don't know if Urban Decay has produced it before. They are coming out with a After Glow Palette. Maybe it will have a similar effect for a cheaper price tag. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Shapeshifter retails for $45 at vendors that carry Urban Decay. </div>

Happy New Year! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Holiday Season. Today I have a new nail polish product for 2016 by Wet N Wild. It's a "no light" gel polish, the 1 Step Wonder Gel polish. I found the display at CVS, but I've also seen it at WAGs. It was 4.99 and there was a $1 off coupon. <br />
<br />
The display states that it can be worn for up to 2 weeks, so I tried to settle on a color I thought I could live with for a long time. <b>It's Sher-Bert Day</b>! I planned to wear it as long as possible.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hDAr7JxLpuQ/VoyCfMYANAI/AAAAAAAABxA/vJ0Polsxo9E/s1600/20151227_131304.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hDAr7JxLpuQ/VoyCfMYANAI/AAAAAAAABxA/vJ0Polsxo9E/s320/20151227_131304.jpg.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
If you're wondering why my nails look scratchy it's because the polish took a very long time to dry, I applied 3 coats and waited for about 1 hour but still smudged them in my sleep. Don't worry, the polish can be top-coated like a regular polish to smooth out the marks. I just wanted to try the polish alone, to test the true wear time.<br />
<br />
Neither the display or bottle had instructions for use. So I'm guessing the polish is cured by natural sunlight. When I applied the polish the second time, I put my hand in the sun to set it for 60 seconds. It took about 20 minutes to set, then about an hour to dry. I guess I'm spoiled by Seche Vite because an hour felt like watching paint dry. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are the results after 7 days. I had major chipping on the 4th day, but I tried to endure the polish as long as I could. Luckily I had a busy week, so I wasn't tempted to remove it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I removed the polish on day 8 with regular acetone and had slight staining. This is one of the lighter colors, so the darker colors may create a deeper stain. I was a little sad the polish didn't last longer, but I was still tempted to buy another bottle. It just felt easy applying the polish and skipping 2 steps. I would say the polish is not comparable to UV light cured gel nails that seem to last forever on my nails. To be fair, I am a very frequent hand washer and I work with my hands so this could just be the results of a busy-handed person (did I just make up a word? LOL). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all, it's still a decent buy, because you get the base, color and top-coat in 1 bottle for less than 5 bucks. </div>

Hi beauty! I hope you're having a fabulous Holiday Season. I've been a busy-bee this season and shopping until my heart's content. My nails are not looking their best, but there's a Holiday set that will help whip them into shape, and that's the OPI StarLight Collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off, I can't remember a set this large. It's huge, 18 polishes, oh my! OPI went all out with this collection, but enough babble, let's get started with the review.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Medium red creme with a hint of blue. This is a great Christmas red, but probably dupe-able since it's a creme. I really like the formula on this one. It was opaque in 2 coats. </div>

Now let's just stop for a moment and talk about this unique glitter. I just knew I would hate this one, but when I applied it over polish, I was pleasantly surprised. From a distance the large pieces of fractured glitter makes your nails glow, but up close I'm not sure if I like the look. I definitely don't hate it though. It may have to grow on me. There are two of these unique glitters in the collection. This one has silver and pink large glitter chunks (that I like to call fractured glitter) and small pink hex glitter. The glitter in this one is more diamond shaped. The other fractured glitter is all pink irregular shaped glitter. I applied one coat over Ro-man-ce On the Moon. </div>

Medium purple with a slight hint of blue. It has hidden pink shimmer throughout that gives it a smokey look. This was one of my least favorites from the collection. I didn't like the formula, it was a lot thicker than the others, but still required 2 coats. </div>

I'm not sure what OPI has termed this glitter but I call it fractured because the pieces are all different from one another. This version is all pink, more triangular shaped but still irregular glitter with small holographic hex glitter throughout. I used one coat over I'm in the Moon for Love. </div>

Chocolate-red vamp creme. I really like this one. In some lighting it looks red and brown in others. It was opaque in 3 thin coats. A surprise favorite!</div>

Nails a flame! The camera didn't capture the beauty of this polish. The red shimmer gives it a pretty glow and makes it perfect for the Holiday. The color is a red-wine, which is a little more interesting than the previous reds. I used 2 coats here. </div>

A pretty muted silver, it's more of a rose-silver if that color exists. This is a unique polish for me but I'm not sure if I like the color. It's definitely neutral and can be streaky if not applied carefully. I would call this finish more of a foil/shimmer that only needed 2 coats. </div>

Sheer black base with silver shimmer that makes it pop. I was also surprised to see small black hex glitter throughout. It's hard to see from a distance, so I would recommend only applying 1 coat, then touching up the see-through areas. Gorgeous if you can get the application right. </div>

OPI gave us a lot of silvers in this collection. I hope you don't mind that I put them on 1 hand for comparison. The first two have a hint of yellow (more of a champagne silver), </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Is this Star Taken?</b> (thumb) - champagne silver base with tiny silver holographic bar glitter throughout. It's an interesting concept but the glitter looses some of it's shine because it gets lost in the polish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Comet Closer</b> (pointer) - silver shimmer/foil in a clear base. Very thin formula yet opaque in 2 coats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>By the Light of the Moon</b> (middle) - medium and small silver hex glitter in a foil base. Another interesting concept but the glitter gets lost in translation. Maybe if the formula were thinner it would be more impressive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>I Drive a Supernova</b> (ring) - silver foil that must be applied with a careful hand to avoid streaks. Nice formula, only needed 1 coat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Super Star Status</b> (pinky) - silver micro, small and medium hex glitter in a clear base. I applied just 1 coat, but it can be built up to make it as opaque as you like (see below). </div>

I like the collection and applaud OPI for stepping out of the red zone :) Although there are a lot of silvers in the collection, the darker more intense colors are my favorites. <b>Center of the You-niverse</b>, <b>Guys & Galaxies</b>, <b>Let Your Love Shine</b>, <b>Ce-less-tial is More</b> and <b>Give Me Space</b> are the standouts in my opinion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are several cremes in the collection but they also offer some variety. The fractured glitters are pretty unique. I'm a true silver lover, but many of them are too similar. I would have added maybe a green or two and opted out some of them. For the most part, all of the polishes applied in 2 coats. There are some exceptions noted above. Overall it's a fun collection and there are plenty of options to help bling out your nails this Holiday season! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi beauties! I stumbled upon the Disney Cinderella Collection today at WAG's and I'm in love! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
Lately different Disney Collections have been released at Walgreen's every couple of months. I wasn't expecting this one when I walked in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes there are several beauty books, but I only saw one in this collection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fBSO9b0gU08/VlJmGzk-w4I/AAAAAAAABrs/H6rUAl09VQ4/s1600/Cinderella%2BBlog%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fBSO9b0gU08/VlJmGzk-w4I/AAAAAAAABrs/H6rUAl09VQ4/s320/Cinderella%2BBlog%2B4.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Cinderella book contained several blue shadows (of course). I usually don't wear blue eye shadow, but I figured I'd venture outside of my comfort zone and try something new. The shadows went on smoothly. They are not as soft as higher end shadows, but they get the job done. The only one I had a problem with was the brown, my brush couldn't seem to pick it up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no highlighter in the lineup, so I used the pink shimmer shadow as a highlighter along with the pretty blushes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
There were several polishes to choose from. Many were pastel themed or similar to others I already have. The white glitter is to die for, but I passed because it reminded me of someone I used to know! I settled for one of the mini collections because it had the pretty duochrome (I wasn't sure I would like it at the time). </div>

There were 2 lippies in the collection, the colors are okay, but I just couldn't pass on the packaging. Both were semi-gloss with a slight alcoholic smell. The pink will suit most skin tones but I'll have to wear a liner with the light pink/mauve creme. </div>

Last but not least is the eyeshadow palette, a pleasant surprise. The packaging is gorgeous but the quality is hit or miss. The shimmers had the best payoff, but it's still worth the $15 price tag for packaging alone in my opinion. </div>

The formula is thick and goes on nicely with one coat, but needed two to become opaque. From some angles, the glitter looks more like flakes. It's a simple yet stunning combination. </div>

<br /></div>
I can't believe the year is almost over. Less than 100 days to Christmas and one of my favorite Holidays is right around the corner. Yassssss! It's time for spooky lights and tons of candy!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rxyh01F6bOc/VgyNNYAxT2I/AAAAAAAABnc/S8tMXHfmgtc/s1600/20150926_200736.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rxyh01F6bOc/VgyNNYAxT2I/AAAAAAAABnc/S8tMXHfmgtc/s400/20150926_200736.jpg" width="398" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While I won't be having all of the candy I want this year, I will make time for lots of fun decorations and manicures of course. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm starting the Holiday season off with this easy nail stamping design. As I sorted through my stack of Halloween plates, I grabbed randoms which I thought were too cute to pass up. I ended up with D04, W116, Handy 2, Handy 11, BM 209 and BM 224. All of these stamped over China Glaze Halloween 2015 green, orange and purple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stamping colors: KleanColor Black and Purple Sapphire, Pure Ice Silver Mercedes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it turned out pretty cute (if I do say so myself :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I hope you like this design as well. Thanks for stopping by!</div>

Hey beauties! Today I have a few of the OPI Venice Collection to share with you. These are the colors that come in the mini set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>My Gondola or Yours?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thin black with a hint of shimmer that makes it look slightly smokey. Almost a jelly but not quite. Required 3 coats to become opaque. Nice black for Halloween. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qf7hg6YlP1M/Vec0ywEz-3I/AAAAAAAABmU/beEm_63y1ck/s1600/Black.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qf7hg6YlP1M/Vec0ywEz-3I/AAAAAAAABmU/beEm_63y1ck/s320/Black.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Amore at the Grand Canal</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty candy apple red. I probably could have gotten away with a 3rd coat but I stopped at two. Be sure to use a base coat because it stains, but it's nothing that can't be prevented with a good base coat, </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DODpmLcOnmA/Vec0zvZI3eI/AAAAAAAABmc/W4Uqd3856Vk/s1600/Red.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DODpmLcOnmA/Vec0zvZI3eI/AAAAAAAABmc/W4Uqd3856Vk/s320/Red.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Worth a Pretty Penne</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not quite rose gold but a copper gold shimmer. Described as a "penny" but not as dark, maybe more of a dusty penny. Nevertheless, still pretty and I only used 1 coat, probably could have stood for a second. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>A Great Opera-tunity</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A surprise favorite. I really like this smooth relaxed shade. I was expecting it to be more pink, but it has a hint of brown to it, more a salmon pink. Opaque in 2 coats. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

AppliquesHey beauties! Wanted to quickly share my nail of the day. This is my first time trying Sinful Colors nail stickers. The package states they have UV cured technology and are made to last. They are surprisingly thin and flexible but started to lift after a couple of hours. <br />
<br />
They did last 6 days and could possibly go longer, but I'm in the mood for a change. To help with longevity I lifted the top of the stickers (near the nail tip) and applied clear polish underneath then added a top coat on the entire sticker. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RrBk8E5aIGM/VUZBT_8lA9I/AAAAAAAABlc/aq-5o4i6T_0/s1600/SC%2BStickers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RrBk8E5aIGM/VUZBT_8lA9I/AAAAAAAABlc/aq-5o4i6T_0/s1600/SC%2BStickers.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what the packaging looks like and the true color of the stickers. They do loose their shine after applied so a topcoat is helpful.</div>

Today I have swatches of the OPI Color Paint collection! They are "blendable" polishes that are supposed to melt easily together, to allow you to use your nails as a canvas and create easy nail art. They are designed to be applied over a silver base, (which makes the color brighter) but I prefer the jelly-effect and thought I would share what they look like without the silver basecoat.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">The colors are really pretty and represent almost every color of the rainbow. I used 3 coats for each polish except the silver and yellow. The finish is jelly-</span>ish<span style="text-align: center;"> but not as sheer as a jelly. I was hoping the darker colors would be more sheer but unfortunately they are not. I may try to make my own sister jellies by mixing with sheer polish.</span><br />

I really love the look of Primarily Yellow and Pen & Pink and wish I could achieve the same effect with the darker colors, but they are trickier to work with and can come off patchy or streaky (when trying to achieve a sheer look). They do look great if wearing as a regular polish though and are extremely shiny.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall these are a lot of fun to play with. The colors blend really well together. It does take some practice to get the hang of using these, the formula is more gooey/sticky than regular polishes. I was able to create a very easy look by applying a base coat and simply dropping dabs of a second color on top. </div>

Hi beauties! Today I have the Wet N Wild Silver Lake collection to share with you. Read more after the break.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>I stumbled upon them at my local Walgreen's. There was something about the pretty colors I just couldn't resist. I started to only get the brights, but on a whim, I decided to grab the entire collection.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Stream of Consciousness</b></div>
A pretty pale pink with shimmers throughout. In the bottle it looks like a sheer polish, reminiscent of French manicure bases, but on the nail it's more opaque. It's more of a milky pink than sheer. Very elegant. I almost passed it up but I'm glad I didn't<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Warm Filter</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A bright orange with a hint of pink, almost coral creme. My camera is making it look more coral, but it's actually more orange (see the video for a more accurate color). It was opaque in 2 coats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Reject the Mainstream</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lilac creme 2 coater. Another pretty selection for the Spring. It reminds me of candy Easter eggs. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Tree Hugger</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A minty sage creme. I like this one more in the bottle. A pretty color but I think it would look better on different skin tones. It was opaque in 3 coats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>A Latte Love</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A marshmallow-y chocolate creme. This one took me by surprise. It's another one I debated on getting but was pleasantly surprised. There's something about the look of it that I like. It has a certain understated elegance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Application was good on most of the polishes .The only down side is the super wide brush that gives me a little trouble with my pinky finger. The polishes were very shiney and pictures were taken without a top coat. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Overall I really like this collection. The colors scream Spring and there are some unexpected gems. My favorites from the collection are: A Latte Love, Stream of Consciousness and Warm Filter.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">I found this collection at my local Walgreens for $1.99 but they were on sale for BOGO 50% off which made the deal even sweeter. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stumbled upon a few of the Rimmel 60 Second polishes in my local Walgreens a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if they are new for Spring 2015 but I've never seen them before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I grabbed all 5 that were in the display because I couldn't resist the price for $1.59 each, plus quick dry polishes are known for being good for stamping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Names from Left to Right:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I went back I noticed there was a total of 8 polishes including an orange and pink (if I remember correctly). I believe they stamp pretty good. The yellow and green would be better suited as a background stamp. The burgandy and red were the most impressive. Overall not bad for a buck fifty!</div>

Cool mint green creme. A little too cool for my skin tone but still nice and opaque in 2 coats. </div>

Bright orange-red creme. I apologize my camera just could not get this color right. The color is more accurate in the video. Another 2 coater but I applied 3 to be sure. </div>

Lagoon blue shimmer foil opaque in 3 coats I really loved the finish in 1 coat because it allowed more shimmer to shine through. I may try to layer this one over a light blue to see if I can recreate the same effect. Another fav!</div>

There are several brights that will wear well during the Spring season. My favorites are: This Color's Making Waves, Suzi Shops & Island Hops, Just Lanai-ing Around and Is Mai Tai Crooked? The glitter-head in me wishes there were a few more glitters but I can always layer on a glitter top coat. Overall I think this will be a fun collection to sport this Spring! </div>
