My Little Pony Polish from Hot Topic

This set was released at Hot Topic in late 2012. One bottle retailed for $7.50 each. I was lucky enough to get all 4 bottles. These colors are opaque after two coats and dry to a semi gloss finish. The "white" is iridescent, I will swatch with undies next time. All in all I'm happy with the polishes in quality, and quantity.

Zoya buy 2get2 flash sale purchase..

Overly excited over my purchase!! Zoya has been having flash sales daily recently I've been fortunate to catch two. This is my first flash sale purchase and omblob I am so happy I bought these. Daul is a purple with gold metallic very fine glitter but needs four coats to not look so sheer. Evvie is a creme near camouflage like green oh its pretty. Natty is a creme dark near navy but not quite blue I'm in love! Rehka is a creme dark red (perfect for fall/winter) forget other reds this one is almost goth-like (I love) its pure sophistication. As you can tell I am very happy with my purchase I will be buying up dream boxes as gifts too!! Btw all other colors besides Daul covered well in two coats.

Ulta- Concrete Evidence

Two coats no top coat :). Easy application, fast dry, very opaque color with excellent coverage. I like the wide cap on Ulta polishes, I have better hold-control of the brush.

ELF Polish Fall 2012

By the time I located the display in Target most of the colors were taken. I saw many pretty colors there some nudes, taupes, reds, golds and lots of glitter mixes. I've never used ELF polish before so to be safe I bought four. There were no names for these awesome colors but I grabbed two for swatching and two exacts for possibly a giveaway. Well here are the two I bought. They came in 7ml bottles with a reptile print on the cap and it has a standard brush but cap stem is short. A dark green with very fine silver glitters is swatched and I also got a dark  purple with fine purple and blue glitters. Two coats is great coverage, this stuff dries fast hardly any wait time between coats. There is a peculiar odor but hey its's polish. For $2 a bottle I am loving these polishes. Also I think its purse friendly, small easy to travel with and stylish. I would definitely buy more colors.

How do you find the time?!

Okay, so I took a week off my office job to try to get things in order then I realized.... o m blob I haven't swatched even half of my polishes!! How do people swatch all their polishes when their stash is over 100+ bottles?! I did two swatches today and my fingers are dry. Also I feel guilty... I buy polishes because I love the color but I dont just swatch a whole hand for a post. Idk I am not a wasteful person and think I should wear the shade and show it off not just swipe it off after the pics are taken :(. I am posting pics of my "stash" and newbies. I am feeling so much pressure from looking/reading through some other blogs and seeing their swatch lists (some are so lengthy). I understand everyone likes to see and know about the polish well I want to see is it ok if I swatch a SINGLE nail? And describe in detail how I felt about the application? I will post more pics of my manis and steps as I go but the whole swatch and remove for pics really makes me frown to waste polish. Open to opinions pls let me know what you think.

Swatched- Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

Sally Hansen Salon Manicure in Yellow Kitty. My favorite yellow! I love the fat brush, goes on smooth, driea fast. The soft yellow needed three coats. I got this bottle on sale from CVS for under $3!

Swatches- Ulta

Diva is a very sheer pink with round fine holo glitters. Piñata-yada-yada is a clear base with hex and round shiny glitters (yellow, silver, blue, red, fuschia, and green). Lav-ish is a lavender like purple with a gold shimmer. Each finger was two coats except Diva (took 4 coats).

Zoya Zang Toi waiting game :/

So while at work my mind was wondering so I decided to google Zoya Zang Toi Polishes. I wanted to see what bloggers were writing about this sale and also who got the chance to buy it. Well I was amazed when I came across All Lacquered Up's pics on google images with markings that said 2days ago... I was like hmm that was during the sale how in the heck. Well I read her blog on my break (nearly killed my cell batt) then I understood. This lady is pretty well known and for a good reason. She is a polish obsessed blogger one of the first actual to focus on polish... (light bulb brightens now).. so then I was like "hmph ok now I know why she may have gotten her hands on those colors early". Well I am happy to see her swatches of the colors of what I am waiting for the arrival of..lol. She also has a giveaway, I so entered, I want to Peter Som collection but I was not fast enough to get it. I received my tracking info yesterday but the package claims to be in transit from Ohio still... agghhh. I need to stop looking. Once my Zoyas come in I will do a polish count, I have NO IDEA how many bottles of polish I own from October 2011 till now.

Sinfulcolors Chromes

The first pic is one coat, I did stop at two coats. The coverage was great and went on smoothly. I like how fast all Sinfulcolors polish are. My thumb is Out of This World, index finger is Moss Have, middle is Zincing of You, ring finger is Hot Wired, and Pinky is Gone Platinum. The only " issue" I had was Moss Have, it dries while applying so stroke fast!

Julep polish- Jennifer

Two coats no clean up. I like this milky pinkish polish. It dries fast. I will do more Julep swatches after today.
