ULTA 'Blue Streak'

This is ULTA 'Blue Streak'.  It's a really pretty darker than a medium blue but lighter than a navy creme.  Actually it's more of a little bit jellish.  This is two coats.  Sorry for the crappy application.  It was late.  The more accurate picture color-wise is below, but it's blurry.

Snowman Nail Lacquer

Really quick swatch for you people today.  This is a Snowman Nail Lacquer.  Made by the same people who make the Pumpkin Nail Lacquer (shown in this haul HERE).  And there sold for $2 at Rite Aid.  Well Mimi got this for me and it's so pretty.  This is a sheer-ish magenta base with a bunch of lighter hot pink glitter.  Now ya know how a lot of glitters say they're 3D glitter?  This is 3D-looking glitter.  It has like depth and stuff.  When you add a top coat it is BEAUTIOUS!

All for today, Bye!

L.A. Colors 'Atomic' and Sinful Colors 'Nail Junkie'

Ok so 'Nail Junkie' is like one of my favorite nail polishes.  Over any blue or teal color.  And I used this L.A. Colors (two perfect coats) and wanted to add some sparkle and GLITTTTER!

Here it is (ain't it purty?!?!):

It's actually really gold and awesome.  It's a very lightly tinted  teal jam packed with gold and light teal glitter with gold flakies (1 coat).  And 'Atomic' is a really pretty creme and it looks exactly like it does in the above picture.  And for $1 that's a good deal.  Sorry for the awkward cuticle line.

This shows the truest color but it's a bit blurry.  ISN'T IT PRETTY!?!

Now, I have a question for you guys.  For that like month that I had 7 manis that weren't photographed of blogged.  Here they are:

Island Girl Mood Nail Color

This is the Mood Nail Color set I got from my Island Girl Haul.  Well mood nail polish doesn't actually change with your mood (umm duh.).  But onto the swatches!

This is the nameless pink.  All of these dry matte although this is the only one that's photographed without a topcoat.  I'm not really a huge fan of hot pink but I do like this color.  This is 5 coats.  Yeah, did I forget to mention the formula on this SUCKED!  I probably should've done another coat.  If I went over it all of the polish below would disappear.   

This was my favorite color.  And it was surprising because in the bottle it didn't look like I would like it, but it's so pretty.  Also It changed the most (see below).  It normally looked like this but in sunlight it was brighter and had the dark green tips.  This is 5 coats and the formula was better than the pinks.

This a really pretty blue.  It was my favorite until I swatched the green.  Color-wise I still love it mostest, but green has it's formula beat.

BEFORE

DIPPED IN POT OF BOILING WATER

They all changed colors but green is the most obvious. (no duh why else is it my favorite?!)

I like it normal better because then you see less awkwardness.  But I still think its cool how under extreme heat it changes color.

Mini Essie vs Mini OPI

Now in Mini OPI haul I said how much I like mini things.  So I was at TJ Maxx looking for nail polish (go often they can have some GREAT nail polish deals, and I've seen Color Club and Nicole by OPI too) and I saw this:

 Essie 2011 Brazilliant Summer Collection

This shows the color really acuratly

(Brazilliant, Smooth Sailing, Super Bossa Nova, Meet Me at Sunset)

These colors are all so pretty.  The colors from this collection that aren't in the set are 'Absolutely Shore' and 'Too Too Hot'.

This is the mini brush vs. the regular Essie brush.  You have no idea how exited that they're the same.  From the top you can tell that the regular may have a little bit more bristles but other than that they're exactly the same.  Unlike the OPI mini's.

The OPI mini brush is just depressing.  I really wish they would just make the brush disproportionate from the bottle so it's more useable.  Plus the bottle is bigger (Essie's being .16 oz and OPI's being .125 oz).

bottle comparison.

Swatches soon!

Island Girl Haul!

I have a very like the best dad.  He spent the last week in Vegas and the last month before that I had been going on and on and on about Island Girl and how it can only be found at abc stores in Vegas.  Well when I saw him he brought me back a bagillion Island Girl stuff!  (sorry for the awkward lighting but I got the colors the most accurate)

Aloha Magic 5 pack

2-way Nail Art Pen and Striper

Mood Nail Color in Lei's

(top to bottom: watermelon, bubble gum, strawberry and raspberry)

And a 4 pack of roll on lipgloss with real flowers (I checked on the site)

(close up)

Now this is the purple from the 5 pack and it was, unique.  And by this I mean that the formula was so weird.  It was sheer but ya' know how sometimes going over a layer of paint and it pulls it off?  All of this would just come off when the brush barely touched it.  Like, the whole part of the nail was naked.  Also it dried darker than the bottle see picture below

BTW this is not my swatch of this color.  On thursday we have a half day and no school on friday and I promise you three 

readers that I will go SWATCH CRAZY!

Island Girl & Bloggers Not Telling Important Stuff

HEEEY FRIENDS! Sorry I haven't made a quality nail swatching post since SaGreen the Teenage Witch and I'm not totally sure if it's that high quality, cause I want good pictures, good job painting nails and stuff.  Well this isn't a nail polish post (and I am so so so so sorry), but it has to do with nail polish.  

So there's a brand of nail polish called Island Girl.  Well actually they also sell cosmetics.  And as every blog that has ever mentioned has said that they are only sold in ABC stores in Hawaii and Vegas.  And most people think of ABC store as in liquor.  Turns out they mean ABC store as in ABC Stores.  It's like a cross between a convenience store and a drug store.  WHY WASN'T I TOLD!  So yeah just thought you people should know because I was so confused.  

So all in all if you know someone going to Hawaii or Vegas... BEG THEM.  Because there are really pretty and yeah.
