• China Glaze Foie Gras

    This is the last of The Hunger Games Polishes that I have that I have worn (have another one or two untried). This is Foie Gras, a lovely purpley-grey cream. It applied like a dream, perfect in 2 coats. I'm a big fan of colours in this vein, such as Revlon Perplex, China Glaze Below Deck, etc....
  • Nails Inc Baker St with Max Factor Fantasy Fire

    I loved loved loved this manicure! The Nails Inc is BEAUTIFUL! Totally unique in my collection and definitely worth grabbing if you can still find it. Max Factor Fantasy Fire is the UK brand "dupe" of Clarins 230.While it is similar I definitely don't think it's a dupe. The shimmer is much...
  • Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum

    Lynnderella has created a phenomenon within the nail polish world - insanely popular Indie Frankens. I've hopped on board and have ordered from one indie seller (so far!)This is the beautiful Expecto Patronum by Dollish Polish and can be purchased in her Etsy shop when she re-opens! This is two...
  • China Glaze Smoke & Ashes

    This was the first of the China Glaze Hunger Games polishes that I wore and let me say, son I am disappoint. I was so excited about these polishes as I am a HUGE fan of the books and you betcha I have tickets to the movie tonight! This polish was just a little disappointing. This looks like a...
  • Valentine's Day Mani

    This is the manicure I wore for Valentine's Day! I think the pink is OPI You're Such a Kabuki Queen but I honestly can't remember. I stamped using an Avon Mirror Shine polish and Konad Special Polish in white. This was just before I took it off, so excuse the tipwear! I added a coat of Essie Matte...
  • OPI Russian Navy & Essie Matte About You

    This was one of my favorite manicures! And I know there is a matte version of this polish available and I would love to get it, but this was more accessible. This was actually inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest - I am obsessed with that site! If you're on and would like to follow me, I am...

Nail Spam because I suck!

0

It's almost been a month since my last post - so I officially suck! Here is some nail spam to make up for it!


Rainbow Holo Leopard - using China Glaze's L8R G8R, 2NITE, IDK and QT, stamped with Konad m57 and the special polish


GOSH Wild Lilac, stamped with Nicole By OPI Silver (name escapes me at the moment!) and China Glaze Bogie. Stamped using some of the Bundle Monster plates (will update with names later)


Orly Space Cadet. LOVE this polish! I also wore (and forgot to photograph) Galaxy Girl with China Glaze DV8 stamped on it. Looked great!

NOTD is Essie Sew Psyched.

Hard Candy Haul

0


Hard Candy has finally landed at Walmart in Canada!
I picked up a few things and am generally impressed with the Quality!



Walk The Line liquid liner in Licorice which is a black base with multi colour glitter. This looks amazing but it takes a really long time to dry. If you have the patience to make it work though, great find. The black base is not opaque but is great layered over another liquid or gel liner.

Not Hard Candy but, L`Òreal Touche Magique concealer pen in Rose Porcelain Really like this. It's a twist up concealer pen that's great for under eye circles. Definitely check this out next time you're at the drugstore!

Hard Candy Blush in Living Doll . This blush is not that unique but it is pretty. It's not as bright as in looks in the pan and wears as a light baby pink on myself. It leans a little cool. I would say this is a great cheaper option to the MAC Mineralized Blushes. I also quite like the packaging. Also, this blush is just shimmery - no glitter here!

Meteor-eyes Baked Eye Shadow in Lunar Eclipse This is a very pretty blackened gold colour. Very pigmented dry, haven't tried it foiled yet but I imagine it would just make it more intense! Similar to the MAC Style Black MES in Gilt By Association. This one is a little bit more of a Glitter bomb though!

Nobody's Perfect Concealer Palette. This is okay, not stellar but not terrible. I have used the green shade to conceal some redness. I don't find any of the skin tones match my skin terrible well (I got the palette in fair and I am NC20 in MAC Foundations). Not a bad buy for the price though!

That's it for my first haul from Hard Candy, I am looking forward to picking up a few more products in the future. I am interested in the tinted moisturizers, I have heard good things about them so I will probably pick one up soon!

Nail Haul and a NOTD :)

I've been slacking lately, sorry for the lack of posts!
I received this haul of beauties the other day from a blog sale!

Left to right: China Glaze DV8, OPI DS Sapphire, OPI DS Signature, China Glaze How About A Tumble and Nubar Reclaim
Yep. More holos. Can't help it, they're just so gorgeous!
I used Reclaim right away and did a mani using it on my fingers and China Glaze's L8R G8R on my thumbs, stamping the frogs using a Coraline plate with the Reclaim polish. Love these colours!



I purchased these form a lovely lady named Annie from a sale on her blog. Check her out at Nailstah. She does daily posts of nail polish swatches and reviews!
