Collective Haul

Whoo! Hunger Games. I really didn't think I would get any, but the lovely ladies at tPF made me want several. I also picked up a few Essie at Ulta, and a treatment from Orly that I've been eying for a while now. Sadly my dad mowed the grass so my pretty grassy/weed backgrounds are gone for a while =(. I have one more swatch with it, then I suppose I'll have to find somewhere else to take pictures at.

I love China Glaze's minis, they're hardly even mini! Normal bottles are .5 fl oz and the "minis" are 3.25 fl oz. Still a decent size I say! The normal sized CG are from Sally's. I wanted to get Smoke and Ashes, but they were out. That's one of the reasons I picked up the minis! I think Luxe and Lush will get a lot of use around Christmas. It reminds me of a snow globe.

I've been wearing Stone Cold for the past few days, and it is a matte (yay!), but the wear is bad even for a matte nail polish, and a pain in the butt to remove, and stained my skin for some odd reason. Even with all that negative stuff, I will still wear it from time to time, and I will do a swatch of it in its matte form, and with a glossy top coat on top as well.

I fell in love with this pink. It's "Pink-A-Boo" by Essie. It has this beautiful pink and gold shimmer to it. I can't wait to try it out, but I think I'm going to tackle the box below first.

De Finance, Navigate Her, To Buy Or Not To Buy, Olé Caliente

I just finished putting on De Finance, and it is gorgeous!!

OPI Pedal Faster Suzi

I finally managed to get my hands on the Holland collection! I picked up this one, and another that I will swatch another day. I plan on buying them all, but that will take time. No rush! I was shocked to find that I only bought one bottle last month. What is wrong with me!

This is a surprisingly sheer color that took 3 coats to achieve a completely opaque look. I love the white glitter that gives it the shiny look. Absolutely gorgeous.

Here's a video I made of it, followed by some swatches:

I have become lazy

^^ 'Cause that's new! Seriously though, I have 6 groups of pictures that I have panned to go into a blog post... Yeah. One of them is a little mini haul, which I haven't added the little watermark thing to, 2 swatches (going to be 3 when I do the one I just panted) which also haven't been watermarked/cropped/pretty-fied, and then a comparison that I need to redo. <-- It's a comparison of pinks and I totally forgot which one was which. 2 of them are that close! I have stuff to blog about, I just keep getting distracted by other things on the internet.

I think today is going to be a bit of a more personal post. First off I want to talk about the hunger games collection which I spotted on the CG website, and it is non-existent now. Don't worry, I got screen shots!

The names aren't listed, and I couldn't click on it to go to another page. It was there though! I'm not making it up I swear.


Now on to the Electropop collection:

Yes, more of my wonderful screen shots. I really like Kinetic Candy, Electric Beat, and the ones in the bottom row.

That's all i have for today. I'm really tired. I should bring something better to the blog tomorrow.  Gosh this post was useless.

Essie Play Date - Swatch/Review

Quick review: Very pretty purple. Play Date is part of Essie's 2012 Go Overboard collection along with 2 other colors that I intend on picking up eventually. It's a nice light purple, not too dark or too light, but does have a hint of pink in it. Definitely in the middle of Essie French Affair (which is on the pinker side) and OPI Planks A Lot (which is more purple).

Application was good, it required a second coat to get the color you see above.

I'm thinking about swatching my nail polish as I wear it. I wont review the colors, I'll just be stating the name of the color, and then have a few pictures of it.

Hope 2012 is treating you well so far! For me, it's not doing so well. Hopefully it'll get better though.
