Calvin Klein Splendid Color - Tutu

TGIF!

Today's another day off for me, so go figure I have an awful headache. :/ So this is going to be a snappy post. 

Today I have Calvin Klein's Tutu to share, another blog sale find. THIS POLISH IS AWESOME! Tutu is a deep black/brown based polish with gold duochrome shimmer. Formula was nice and smooth. This is two coats.

Have a great Friday!

Butter London - Black Knight

Happy Saturday!

I hope you all have a fun weekend planned - I'm working only a few hours this morning then I have season four of True Blood the fiance bought me to watch while I catch up on some much needed swatching! Today I have a polish from the lovely Amanda of Fashion Footing who was my Secret Santa on our Jingle Nail Rock swap this Christmas! Thanks you SO MUCH for knocking off so many items on my wishlist and spoiling me rotten!  I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! <3

One of my long time lemmings she squashed was today's beauty - Butter London's Black Knight. I have been DYING to own this bad boy ever since I first laid eyes on swatches when it came out last Fall 2011. Black Knight is every bit of awesome I knew it would be in person! A sheer, build-able black base with multi-sized gold, pink, and blue glitter. It's that perfect combination of vampy and fun all rolled into one. This is three thin coats. A tad on the thirsty side, two coats of top coats were needed. This may be my all-time favorite Butter London next to Wallis.  

Have a great Saturday!

BYS - Black & Gold and I'm taking a small vacation

Hi there!

Jeff and I are leaving to drive home to Ohio for Thanksgiving tonight, and I've been to busy to write blogs posts for while I'm away. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday! I'll see you all Monday!

Time for another new BYS to share - Black & Gold. This is another gem that the ever-so-amazing Lani sent my way - thanks for knocking one off my BYS wish list, girl! <3 I love the amazing girls I've met through polish, some of the sweetest out there! 

Black & Gold. Where. To. Start. I'm too busy drooling over this polish to put it into thoughts LOL! :D I mentioned in my last BYS post how fantastic their glitters are - this is another shining example! Black & Gold is a black-based polish with irregular gold glitter. What makes this polish so amazing is a combination of a few things - first off the base. I love this black base because it's sheer enough to let the gold glitter shine on through, but dark enough to be opaque in only two coats, shown here. Secondly - the warm tone to the gold glitter - so unique! Formula was spot-on. I seriously cannot express my love enough for this polish.

What do ya think, ladies?!

BYS - Down The Rabbit Hole from The Wonderland Collection

Hello again!

I am totally in love with BYS. Seriously and completely. Their glitters are to DIE FOR. Their brush is easy as can be to work with, their formulas are perfect. Their polishes can be on the stinky side, but I'll take it and zip my mouth shut for glitters like this beaut! From the moment I laid eyes on BYS's Wonderland collection, I knew they all had to be mine. I finally have all 3 and for this polish I give a big thank you to Lauren! <3 You're the best, girl! You can check out my swatches of Through The Looking Glass HERE. 

Down The Rabbit Hole is soooo awesome! Smoky black jelly loaded with holo glitter?! YES, PLEASE! I love the depth you get with this polish, it looks like a little galaxy on my nails! Some of my pics are slightly blurry, I'm going to act sly and say it's to show off the holo goodness. :P This is three coats. LOVE! One of my all-time favorite scattered holos.

BYS, do the damn thing.

Last but not least I have Adventures Of Alice to share ;)

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers - Once Upon A Time

Hey now!

I always look forward to Wet N Wild's tombstone Fantasy Makers polishes! They just have such character  All of the other ones were re-releases of last years colors, and although this is truthfully a re-lease of last Fall's Behind Closed Doors, I needed it just as much. The quality was much better with One Upon a Time, the glitter didn't settle on the bottom as it did with Behind Closed Doors. This is only one coat over China Glaze's Liquid Leather. 

Anyone else snag this one?

HALLOWEEN MONTH! China Glaze Mummy May I

Hello there!

I can't believe it's Monday already! Weekends sure do fly by! It's been good to be in full swatching mode again, I've missed my nail community while I've been so busy!

 Today I have another polish from China Glaze's 2010 Halloween collection, Awakening - Mummy May I. Formula was much better and a lot less thick with this one versus Ick-A-Bod-Y. Mummy May I starts off as a smoky black jelly base loaded with magenta glitter. Very Halloween-y indeed! This is three coats. Very build-able and I love the dimension of it all. LOVE.

Here's to hoping your Monday flies by!

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Milani - Magical

Happy Saturday! 

I hope you're all having a great day! One of my best friends is driving all the way from Ohio to visit me in Virginia Beach today so I cannot WAIT! 

Today I have another polish from Milani's 2009 Halloween collection, Magical. I really love each and every polish in this collection! Magical is the one in the collection with orange glitter. It definitely screams Halloween to me for SURE! What I really love about these glitters is the fact that the sheer black jelly base is build-able to allow the micro glitters to really peek through. This is three thin coats. 

Have a great weekend!

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Sally Hansen Hard As Nails - Spooktacular

TGIF!

Hello, ladies! Today I have one of my cherished Sally Hansen Hard As Nails polishes and quite possibly of the hardest to find - Spookacular. I stumbled upon this gem on eBay and pounced on the chance to snatch it up!

Spooktacular is shown here layered over the polish of my last post, Revlon's Haunted Heart. The shimmer underneath really added UMPH! Spooktacular is a clear based polish compiled of mostly glowing, vibrant orange micro glitter with scattered black glitter as well. What a GREAT Halloween glitter! Sally really used to do these so well. BRING EM BACK! This is two coats. I really enjoyed wearing this as a full mani.

Have a great Friday, girls! <3

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Re-swatch: Revlon StreetWear Nightmare

Hi there!

Today I decided I wanted to re-swatch one of my favorite Halloween polishes, Revlon StreetWear Nightmare. I had first swatched it here, but I thought I'd give it another go for the love of Halloween! 

I love StreetWears Halloween glitters, Costume Party still ranks high on my wishlist! Nightmare is a clear base polish loaded with small black glitter and holo bar glitter. The layering possibilities are seriously endless. I LOVE this glitter! This is two coats over yesterday's Root Of All Evil. :) I ADORE this look!

Have a great day, ladies!

HALLOWEEN MONTH! Milani - Charmed

I'm back!

Sorry for the hiatus and my malware bullsh*t. I guess there's a blogger who's gotten infected and few times, and to be safe, for now I'm keeping my blogroll down. Anyway, blog's back to normal so it's time for more Halloween polish!

Today I have another polish from Milani's Halloween 2009 collection, Charmed. I LOVE this whole collection and I LOVE Charmed! I always am attracted to black polishes swimming with fine silver glitter - I quite a few. ;p This may be one of my favorites! Such a perfect Halloween polish in my opinion. Three thin coats, which I think really helped with the depth of this bad boy. SO STICKIN' PRETTY.

FYI - I got all of these polishes on eBay for five bucks or less including shipping. RUN!

Have a awesome day, gals!
