New Polish Buys

Went into Sally's today on my way back and picked up Orly Sterling Silver Rose on clearance for $2.69. I also FINALLY picked up a bottle of Seche Vite top coat. It was about time. My Sally Hansen top coat is getting thick, gloopy and causing a lot of bubbles.
I bought the Black Shatter and the Orly mini from a girl in a nail group I'm in. There aren't many opportunities where I can find OPI here.

L-R: Orly Sterling Silver Rose, Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, OPI Black Shatter, Orly mini Pure Porcelain

Sorry for the long hiatus.  I haven't had money to buy any polish that I've been wanting and had no internet to blog.  I recently made an order to e.l.f. for some of their nail polishes so look forward to a post when I receive those and more posts after of swatches.

Today's Walmart Haul

Today I had to run to Wal-mart for a few groceries and to look for a good gold polish.  I've been lemming for one for a while now.  I saw no golds from Sally Hansen and the Nicole by OPI gold (CEO) from the Kardashian line looked nice but it was $7.00.  Being a student I'm on a budget so I won't spend alot on polish right now. Then I ran across a Revlon gold but it was dull and looked bland.  Then I happened to come across these.  Saw the gold and knew I had to have it.  I saw they had some effect polishes out so I grabbed two of those, all the while not knowing the prices of these since there were no prices out on the display.  These were only $2.97 a piece.  Next time I go I'll try to take a picture of the display since I can't remember how many colors they had out but there weren't many.

Below are swatches of the 3 I bought.

Maybelline Silver Stunner, Bold Gold and Carbon Frost

First Water Marble Experience

So yesterday I decided to try my hand at water marbling since a bunch of girls in the nail polish group I am in were making a day of it and I said "hey why not". I've been interested in doing a mani like this for a very long time. I tried it twice. The first time I didn't like it but my second attempt was much better.

First Attempt

Second attempt.

Finally! My Haul post from back in September

Finally I post my Haul from back in September! I do believe I bought this the week before my Cousin's wedding. I bought all of the OPI the Friday before the wedding at the mall while I was there. I have used all of these and the only one I don't like is Pros & Bronze that came with Love is a Racket.

This Haul includes:

• OPI Skull and Glossbones, White Shatter, Serena Glam Slam Duo (Love is a Racket & Pros & Bronze
• Orly Dazzly (love love love this one. I somehow have included it everytime I have done my nails)
• Essie All-in-one base
• China Glaze Re-Freshmint (my biggest lemming)
