NOTD

This is Kendall on the Katwalk from the new and probably sold out everywhere by now Kardashian Kolor Kollection.  The display was completely empty in my Walmart save for 5 bottles.  I grabbed only the one...

This polish is easily a new fave...instant new fave.  I painted my nails last night during a study break and just took pictures in the morning sunrise.  I just love NC. So much sun!





I love glitters in a jelly base and this one did not disappoint.  2 coats.  I did have to put 2 layers of Seche Vite to smooth it out but that is just how I prefer my manis.  Smooth and shiny! 

It is just a stunner.  Teal, green, purple and blue glitter in a bluish green jelly base.  Perfection.  I will be looking at my nails all day for sure as I did last night.

Hope you all have a beautiful day!

Target!!!

Well I popped over to Target for some essentials tonight and noticed a lot of clearance items!!!  SH nail polish, Sonia Kushuk brushes, John Frieda shampoo...  Which I'm going back for because I didn't have all my coupons with me, shocking I know!

So the $1 MC for Nicole by OPI really got me excited.  I have never bought a full size Nicole by OPI before.  Too expensive for me.  $7 a bottle?  Forget it.  Not this girl.  I mean, it has to be a very weak moment, a crazy unique color.  Well, I thought, if I'm starting off $1 less, I knew I could make a deal somehow. 



Since I've been on "vacation" so to speak for a couple of weeks now, I'm running low on face wash.  I'm not super happy with the one I have right now so I'm ready to make a switch.  It's a Biore shower one.  It does a great cleaning job, just too good of a job to use everyday.  So I did my research of course and found out that the Clean & Clear Morning Burst Surge and Energizing Cleansing pads were both on sale and when you bought them together, you receive a $5 Target GC.  I had $5 MC for the power cleanser and $2 off for the refills.  OOP I paid $11 something for the both of them and got back $5 GC making them like $3 a piece.  Not bad. 

But of course I turned around and used the $5 GC on 2 Nicole by OPI polishes along with my 2 $1/1 MCs making them $3.50 a piece.  I grabbed one from the Bieber collection, One Less Lonely Glitter.  Which is a fun light purple glitter.  Love it!  I have 4 coats on my middle finger right now.  I also picked up, It's not me, it's blue. In the store under the bright lights it looked like a dark bluish purple.  Maybe I imagined that after I read the name.  Then I got it home and looked at it and I was worried that it was just like that LE Revlon.  But swatching it on my thumb it is a glittery graphite.  I'm not under the best of light right now so I can't wait to do a full mani.  Absolutely love it already and I will be wearing it a lot I'm sure. 




They both have completely different brushes.  The purple glitter bomb from the Bieber the One Less Lonely Girl Collection has a very wide "perfect stroke" brush.  And the other a very thin, Orly type brush.  They are both suitable for the formulas.  Both polishes dried pretty fast.  I applied thin coats and they were dry to the touch in about 2 minutes.  All in all, I'm pretty happy with my choices and I'm going to want more for sure.

Oh I also used up my free Ecotools coupons.  I grabbed the retractable kabuki brush for my mom.  She was needing a new one.  Hope she likes it!  And I found a Bambo Bronzer brush for me.  OMG so soft!!!

So that's that for now.  I am heading to CVS this week because I have $10 in Beauty Club ECBs to print out.  Gotta keep rollin' em!

Hope you are enjoying the week and stay out of the hot sun!  I'm going to wash my face...

More crackle!

I thought I would do silver again but realized that I haven't tried Vintage Violet out yet.  The brush is a little wonky and the formula is a bit thick but I still think it came out nice.

Excuse my cuticles.  I realize they are quite tragic!  So this is OPI DS orginal and Sally Hansen Vintage Violet Crackle. 



This SH is quite stunning. It has a iridescent blue shimmer to it that I thought would pick out the blue in the OPI holo.



 
 
I will be hitting up CVS for more crackles possibly.  But I think I might wait for the China Glaze metals.

SNOTD

From the nail files...  This was an old draft that I never got around to publishing.

Another lazy polish day.  I just put on another coat of Kiss Me at Midnight and slapped on a couple coats of Spark My Mistletoe the glitter of the Tinsel Tips Trio.

I think it turned out pretty good.  But alas, it will be coming off soon.  It's too warm and sunny for this dark look!

This is Kiss Me At Midnight by Nicole by OPI

Pretty vampy!  Also quite difficult to apply with the tiny bottles.  This was apart of the Tinsel Tips Trio I bought at Wegmans on clearance.

Nicole by OPI Tinsel Tips

I was at Wegmans doing some grocery shopping and I always walk down the cosmetic aisle to see what is going on.  Sure enough, the Revlon polishes were on sale for $2.99 with a $1 off coupon.  But alas, I resisted.  But then I saw the Nicole by OPI Tinsel Tip Trio on clearance for $2.22 and I scooped it up real fast.  I looked at them at Walmart and figured that they would go on sale after Christmas but I never made it to the after Christmas sales.

I also saw the OPI Swiss Mini Collection but that was selling for $12.95.  There was only one left, oddly by itself on a high shelf so maybe no one will see it when it goes on clearance and I will snatch that up as well!


Spark My Mistletoe, Stuck in the Chimney, Kiss Me at Midnight



These are tiny little bottles.  Perfect really because who ever gets through a full bottle of polish?  Hmm?


I'll probably save these for the next holiday season!
