Manly 120 palette- swatches of every shadow!

I realized that despite how often I use the 120 palette, I have never swatched it! I had been playing with them on the back of my hand and decided that I might aswell just go for it! Here is all 120 (...actually- except 1 sheer white that was kind of pointless to swatch).

I've said it before, I love this palette and use it nearly everyday. The colors are nothing mind-blowing but if you are looking to bridge some gaps in your collection like I was or a beginner looking for a starting point I highly recommend picking one of these up on Ebay- I paid around $16 shipped for mine! Nearly all of these are greatly pigmented and super smooth, for the price I paid that is about 13 cents a shadow!

Sally Hansen Crackle in Fuchsia Shock swatches

Here is a nice ghetto picture of my swatches, done on paper because after work I'm just too tired to swatch and remove them from my fingers! If you can read my writing (not at it's finest- written in sharpie):
China Glaze- Lemon Fizz
Revlon- Temptress
Borghese Rapido- Menta
Orly- Thorned Rose
China Glaze Shower Together
Sally Hansen- Lickety Split Lime
Orly- Glitz and Glamour
Essie- Going Incognito
Revlon- Stormy
Petites Color Fever- Daze
OPI- Simmer and Shimmer
Borghese Rapido- Limoncello
China Glaze- Millennium
Revlon- All Fired Up
China Glaze- Solar Power


Do you see what I mean, it seems to shift to red or orange over some colors. Darker shades wipe it out completely. It is too sheer to go over something like Simmer and Shimmer. It also does some super weird stuff over some shades- like Going Incognito. All these swatches were completely dry before I applied the crackle, so I'm not sure what caused this. It worked well over Millennium and Solar Power, but that was it for me.

What do you think?

Nice Stems by OPI





Summer Pinks in Bloom!

Nice Stems! by OPI Revamps Nails with Vibrant Pink Hues for Summer 2011

Stop and see the flowers with summer’s Nice Stems! by OPI, a limited edition collection featuring four new nail lacquers in stunning shades of pink. With whimsical names based on their floral inspirations, these vibrant, flirty colors range from pale, frosty pink to rich fuchsia. NiceStems! offers fingers and toes a perfectly pink shade for all of summer’s looks.

“These vibrant, feminine hues complement 60’s ladylike fashions, 70’s glam looks, and bold color-blocking, which are the season’s staples,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “The Nice Stems! collection also offers an interesting contrast and feminine accent to the punk and biker looks on the runways.”

Nice Stems! by OPI shades include:

Play the Peonies

We’d put our money on this lovely soft-pink.

Come to Poppy
Surrender to shine with this shimmering coral-pink.

Be a Dahlia Won’t You?
Give the gift of fabulous fuchsia—to yourself!

I Lily Love You

Fall head over heels with this light pink sparkle.

“Using different micas and glitters can give lacquer a 3-dimensional look,” adds Weiss-Fischmann.I Lily Love You is a glitter coat that can be layered over any of the other three shades to add a bright sparkle; or, it can be worn on its own for a subtle tint of pink with strands of glitter.”

The Nice Stems! Nail Lacquers by OPI contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide Brush for the ultimate in application.

This limited edition Nice Stems! collection will be available beginning June 2011 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $8.50 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each Nail Lacquer.

Pink Lemonade FOTD

I'm not in love with this look, but I'm gonna show it to you anyways :)


This is one of those cases where the colors just didn't blend right, I had a feeling it would happen. The pink blended too much into the yellow and became more of a neon orange or even red :( Oh well, another day, another FOTD, right?

Can you tell how in love I am with my Manly palette right now? I've barely touched my other shadows, poor things!

Products used:
MAC Bare Study Paint Pot
Manly 120 palette (all eyeshadow)
L'oreal Telescopic liquid liner
Maybelline Great Lash BIG mascara

Mint Chocolate FOTD

Inspired by my recent Sinful Mint Apple nails I decided to do mint and brown together, a combination I've never tried before. I thought they might have trouble coming together or get muddy in the crease but I actually really liked the results! Sorry for my haggard looks, this was while I was super sick :(
Need to get me some eyebrow wax, my brows stick up no matter what I try!
