Hard Candy Sweet Pea and some CG Flip Flop Fantasy fun!
Another great glitter from Hard Candy! I haven't tried anything other than their glitters from this line but I think I have to, these are all so great. If you haven't seen them: Lava, Mr. Wrong and Sweet P are all gorgeous glitters with the best application of their kind and if you like glitter you NEED them. Here is 3 coats of Sweet Pea:


And I've had these for awhile, some Flip Flop Fantasy fun...this is topped with Cover Girl City Lights, 2 coats:
Stamped with China Glaze Millennium- I loved this mani!-
Polka dot and disco balls go well together, don't ya think?

French + BM lips plate
I know I've seen this done a couple times before but I couldn't resist! I love kissy prints so much I even have a (extremely badly done and embarrassing) tattoo of one on my inner wrist. In real life these lips were more subtle, stamped with Candy Apple Red from Wet N . The French is Sally Hansen Insta- Dri Whirlwind White and Essie Sugar Daddy.
Milani 3D Glitzy Lipgloss swatches
While I sat at my computer and drooled over the new MAC Superglass collection I pondered why there was never a drug store answer for anything I really truly wanted. This time it was super shiny and uber sparkley lipgloss. So when I walked into my CVS and saw the tubes of Milani 3D Glitzy I was over-joyed. I typically like Milani glosses so I was in love with these the instance I picked them up.
To tell the truth I HATE MAC glosses because of that disgusting overly sticky texture. It clings to my lips and highlights every bit of dryness that is on them and just does not wear well for me. I'm glad I found these, I can't afford the $18 price tag of a MAC gloss at this point either. These are probably more similar to their Dazzleglass from what I have seen but I don't have any to compare it to.
The texture is good, not too runny and not too sticky. Just like I like my glosses. I have 5 of the 7 (and I wish I could find a tube of that blue Movie Star but I've checked everywhere) and here are my swatches:
Starshine is my favorite of them, I like my gloss pretty light in color (for reasons stated below) and this goes on nearly clear.
Love the gold glitter in Stylish!
This was the first one I found and it is my 2nd favorite, it is a warm version of Starshine.
I debated whether to get In Vogue and ended up deciding to...not sure I made the right decision. This embodies the reason I dislike colored gloss: bleeding. This just is messy from the moment it goes on and I can't image wearing it out because I would feel like a clown (and that is saying something;)I will also mention that these pretties were out of stock forever at my CVS's, not sure how hard they are to find elsewhere. They retail for around $6.99 each.

Help me identify these OPI minis!
Ugh, why OPI, why?!?! Why can't you label your minis? I was given a big ol' bag of polish and these two were in it, no idea what name or from when these are from but it is seriously killin' my polish OCD since I got them to not know the names. These are each two coats. Come on ladies, give me your best guesses! And remember you can click these photos huge for details!
And just you wait for my next giveaway. It is going to be HUGE. Just waiting on a couple things and it will be up when they get here :)



Thanks for the help everyone! I managed to identify these as Don't Melbourne the Toast and Suzi Loves Sydney!
7 Rimmel lipstick swatches
While this is primarily a polish blog, one of my many loves is makeup and specifically lipstick. I own a huge basketfull of glosses and lipsticks and I've noticed most drug store brands don't get a lot of love. So, I'm going to give them some! It is hard looking at drug store lipstick and no knowing what the shade looks like, that sealed little devil of a tube you can't try on is frustrating. Here are my collection of lipsticks from Rimmel, one of my favorite drug store companies.
Rimmel Red Alert is a Moisture Renew Lipcolor. I don't truthfully find these to feel much different from the older formula but maybe that is just me. This is a classic true red. Please ignore my sloppy application, this was the last swatch and I was ready to be done with it! Hehe, but that aside...I like the color but it has been done many times before. In fact- NYC Retro Red is the same exact color and a slightly less glossy finish for 99 cents.
Pink Chic is another Moisture Renew and is one of those semi-sheer creams if you know what I mean. I always have trouble with these and leaving tell-tale lines in the top lip when I put my lips together. I will mention these swatches aren't blotted and that might help it out. Once again though, I feel like I already own colors exactly like this.
Coral Shimmer...I can't decide if I like this on me or not. What do you think? My lips are pretty pigmented which is a problem with sheer-er colors. I think this may be a little too warm for me but it's pretttty! I always try to pull off corals even though it rarely works out. I do love colors like this though because when I don't want to wear lipgloss this is just enough shimmer and color.
Pink Blush. Look familiar? Yeah. Pink Blush is just a single shade darker than Pink Chic. If it were a little bit more brown (just the teeniest bit) it would be a dupe for MAC Snob, even so it is very passable.
Crush is a weird color. I have a love of weird lipstick shades so from the back of the lipstick I was expecting it to be more orange. This is a weird brown-orange-tan. Kinda reminds me of the 90's. Either way, to frosty for my taste.
This is one of my favorite reds ever- this swatch doesn't do this dark red shimmery masterpiece justice. If you like red lipstick I would recommend picking this baby up.
Celeb is a pretty basic pink in my opinion, a little bit more berry toned and just kinda blah for me.I also have a swatch of Dreamy from the new Moisture Renews somewhere that I have to dig up, don't know where it disappeared to!
