Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Cremes

Happy Saturday!

I hope you all have a great weekend planned! I work a short shift then we're headed over to our friends house. I've been really stressed out from work and been suffering from horrible headaches, so tomorrow I'll be taking it easy for SURE. 

Today I have two vintage Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Cremes to share. Since I started collecting polish, my vintage SH stash has GROWN! What can I say? I'm a sucker for the matching handles. I've said it before and I'll say it again, BRING THEM BACK, SALLY!

First up today I have Racy Creme, a deep vampy brown creme. I've really been into shades like these lately. This is two coats.




Next up I have Trendy Creme to share. I LOOOOOVE this color! It dances on the fine line of beautiful and ugly just a little bit. I love the dustiness to the green. This is two coats as well. 




Have a great weekend!

Hard Candy - Normal

Hey polish lovers!

Today my day off! Going out to lunch with a friend and hitting the gym! After that? WHO KNOWS?! ;D There will be some swatching involved is all i can say. I think I'm going to start doing pics of my stash as well. What do you think?

Today I have a vintage Hard Candy polish to share, Normal. This is a recent eBay score, and since I was the only one bidding, it was a STEAL. And in perfect condition might I add. Not a scratch on the bottle or stickers and the ring too! Normal is a fabulous, vampy burgundy creme. Formula was pretty fantastic after all these years. This is two coats. 





Have a great day!

CoverGirl Frost Slicks Limited Edition in Gold Front and Loreal Resist & Shine In Black Gloss

Hello polish lovers!


Today is my day off! After this post is up - it's time to swatch, swatch, swatch! Today I have a lovely polish from my EPIC swap with my fellow blogger and lovely friend Esther and a CoverGirl vintage glitter. I am on a mission to own each and every Frost Slicks. I have quite the eBay order on it's way to me. Sorry wallet. :P Here we go!







Lately I have been on a vintage glitter kick. Big time! After finding this Frost Slicks glitter on a blog sale, I've made it my mission to hunt down as many as I can. Ah, polish addiction, you got me again. Gold Front is a golden tinted clear base loaded with golden holo glitter. Both festive and amazing. I just didn't photograph nearly as amazing as it was in person. One coat may not look like much in my swatches, but it was festive and amazing in person. Such a lovely glitter! Next time I'll go for two. :)


Next up I have a Loreal brand I'm trying for the very first time thanks to Esther. Thanks again, girl! I didn't see a name on the bottle, so I'll just call it #734. #734 is a deep blackened-based burgundy polish with amazing red shimmer. Totally festive and vampy! Sold! The formula was highly pigmented. This is two coats.



See now, this is why I have a glitter addiction.

Revlon Spice It Up Holiday polish

Hello there!


I'm more than enjoying the holiday polishes this year, and Revlon's Spice It Up holiday collection is on the tippy-top of that list for me! This morning I have the namesake for the Collection, Spice It Up! Revlon, you NAILED IT with this polish!












Spice It Up is RIGHT up my alley when it comes to polish! It is a deep, rich burgundy polish with micro-fine red and gold shimmer. It screams sophistication and celebration for the holiday season! This baby was almost a one-coater, but I always have an issue with letting it rest at one, so this is two coats. :P

Deborah Lippmann - Dark Side of the Moon

Well Hello There! :)

Today I have for you my other Deborah Lippmann polish, Dark Side of the Moon. I've been waiting for summer to start coming to an end so I could break out this dark beauty! I figured I'd waited long enough, right?


I really think that Dark Side of the Moon is a sexy, sophisticated color! It was described online as a deep purple, but I think it's more of a dark burgundy. Funny thing? Looks purple in the bottle, burgundy on the nail. Either was I really love it! And, yes I can admit it, the name had a part in the purchase. What can I say? I've been a Pink Floyd fan for years and years and years! The formula for this polish was really thin, two coats LOOKED like enough until I uploaded my pics, and there seemed to be some thinner areas.

Deborah Lippmann polishes can be purchased through her website at http://www.deborahlippmann.com/ or at Nordtrom or other fine department stores. They range from $16 for regular polishes & $18 or glitters.
