Sinful Colors Diamond Lust Sighting

I went to Walgreens to peruse the polish and found something that was new (to me at least!)  The Sinful Colors Diamond Lust polishes are a glitter collection with diamond shaped glitters of various colors with other types of glitter as well.





Just thought I'd share these with you guys.  I'm always taking pictures of stuff I see in stores and never do anything with the photos, so I thought a change was in order.  That being said I'm pretty underwhelmed with them, which goes for pretty much anything I see released by mass production lately.

Another polish contest for the Friends and Fans collection!

I have a new polish being voted on at Facebook right now, and I believe my blogger buddies to head on over for a chance to win a bottle of this polished named by you!




Photos show three coats of this polish, with extra topcoat - a new one I was using which left bubbles )= Bubbles are from the topcoat, not the polish!

This is a sheer white creme based polish with green, sea foam green, baby blue, yellow, pink and white glitters. Voting is active for another 24 hours or so!

Good luck ladies! (=

NEW Oopsie Daisies: Scrunchies and Slumber Parties!

I have another polish to show you from the Friends & Fans collection!  This one is my absolute favorite so far!  Scrunchies & Slumber Parties is a nostalgia inspired purple creme based polish with neon glitter, iridescent blue glitter and lots of subtle sparkles.  This one was named by my sister :D


Shown is three coats, two coats of top coat to smooth it out a bit.




 Scrunchies & Slumber Parties is now available!

Wet 'n' Wild - Wild Shine - Jezebel

Not sure what drew me to this polish; I'm not a huge fan of reds and the shimmery finish, while pretty, isn't usually a favorite either.  I looked at this a few times before finally picking it up.  I've become a lot more picky with my polish purchases the past year or so - a lot of ones I think are pretty don't seem to make it into my collection anymore, but I'm glad this one did!


Jezebel is a darkened red shimmer polish; shown here is two coats over Orly Bonder and sealed with Out the Door.  It was opaque in two, big plus!  Formula was good, a teeeensy bit thick but totally workable.  I forget sometimes that 99c polishes can be good!

April 2013 Ipsy My Glam Bag

I finally signed back up for the Ipsy/MyGlam bags!  When I resubscribed, I was put on a "Wait List", for two days I think, then my account was charged and I received this month's bag!


I missed getting these, I'm really excited to have them back in my life - I was so happy when I saw the familiar hot pink metallic bubble mailer today!

 
April's bag contained four items:
- Mica Beauty Cosmetics Shimmer Powder in Earth (72)
- Sation Nail Lacquer in Of Corset I'll Call You
- bigsexyhair Powder Play Voluminzing & Texturizing Powder
- be.... a bombshell Blush in Sweet Cheeks

I'm not really a wide spectrum beauty item reviewer so I'll just show you some additional pictures.

Some general thoughts on this month's bag:
- I don't have a photo of the actual make-up bag, but it's the second time I've gotten it. It was given out last summer sometime. It's white canvas with orange and green flowers.
- There seems to be less items in the bag than the last few I received; not sure if this is Ipsy's doing, or just a small bag this month.
- I received three full size products however, so maybe there is just less items but since they're full size it evens out.
- The blush is a shade I could actually use! Huge plus!
- Not even sure what the hair powder would do for super straight, super thick hair?

So what do you think of April's Ipsy bag?

Jessica Lime Cooler with Daisy Gemstones

This mani here is so springtime!  I loved wearing it and I'm excited to share it.


Shown here is two coats of Jessica Lime Cooler over Orly Bonder sealed with one coat of Out the Door.  The formula was surprising; the first coat was a streaky mess but the second coat of Lime Cooler evened out so well that this mani only needed two coats!


The photo above looks a mess but from a bit further away it looked fine and you couldn't see the topcoat bubbles or small imperfections that macro brings to the party.


I applied the gemstones with topcoat and then sealed with it as well in order to have them stay put.  And it worked well, they didnt come off until I picked them off. (Couldn't help it! But they stayed for two days without issue.)
