Happy Sunday ladies! It's 3 weeks away to the day for the big move! CRAZINESS! I've been packing like a machine and making lists of everything I need to do before we leave. It's exhausting. One most make time for swatching and blogging, so I'm doing my very best to keep up! :)
Today I have a polish for you that's been on the tippy-top of my lemmings list ever since I first saw it pop up on other nail blogs. I kept my eyes peeled but everywhere was sold out. I was just about to order it online, when they opened a BRAND NEW ULTA (*wallet screams*) right down the shopping plaza from where I work. I went the day after it opened, walked straight to the Butter London display, and low and behold, *Que epic music* there was my long lost Wallis! You're going to love him! :D
I. Am. So. In. Love. With. Wallis. I mean just LOOK at him! :D Duochrome; olive green and a GLOWING gold & an almost yellow with a sort of foil feel to it. It's amazing to look at and distracting to wear while driving. It's THAT stunning! This is my first Butter London purchase, and the application was really nice with this polish. It was a two coater. Did I mention I love this polish? :P
Time for some sunlight shots -
Overall, this is one of my favorite polishes that I own to date, and I can't wait to try more Butter London polishes. Although for the $14 pricetag, they'll have to be as intruiging as Wallis. Butter London polishes can be purchased at Ulta or online at www.butterlondon.com

Hello Ladies!
Today I have a vibrant polish for you, Ulraviolet By Pop Beauty's Nail Glam. I came across this beauty in an Ulta in Virginia Beach, where I will be living shortly! :p
This is my very first polish from Pop Beauty and I really think the name Ultraviolet really describes it perfectly! It's a bright violet creme that really pops out against my skintone! I really enjoyed the formula, and two were needed. I was VERY happy with this polish! :)
Isn't it pretty? :D I got Ultraviolet and an Ulta, but Pop Beauty's entire line can be purchased can be purchased at www.popbeauty.co.uk for $9-$10/bottle

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.
Happy Pink Wednesday!
I feel like I'm either always forgetting Pink Wednesday or my post set up isn't pink. Oh well, I'm trying to get better at that. Today I have for you my first SpaRitual polish, Airhead!
I'm still working on loving pink. To be honest, before becoming a blogger and polish-addict, I always stuck to funky/dark colors. Since diving head first into the world of polish, I'm really starting to love pink more and more! I'm a real sucker for sheer, watery pinks. This one I got through a blog sale and I love that it almost has a jelly finish to it. Such a classy polish! Three coats.
I've personally never seen SpaRitual sold anywhere that I can remember, but you can locate where to buy through their web page www.sparitual.com
Good morning!
This morning I have for you one of Kleancolor's holo polishes, Holo Chrome. I was a little bit on the fence with these polishes due to the smell/fumes issues I'd read about on other blogs. On some I'd actually read that the fumes made bloggers dizzy! Alas, the results I'd seen were so stunning, I had to try one. Can't deny, I'm glad I did.
HC is a stunning bright violet jelly holo PACKED to the brim with fine holo glitter, I loved it! It tried it at first on it's own and I was definitely meant to be layer. I applied a bright purple polish underneath and it was perfect! Now for the smell. It really reeked. Not enough to make me dizzy, but enough that I couldn't keep my face too close. :/ Oh, well, result well worth the sacrifice!
Kleancolor holos & polishes can be purchased online at either http://www.kleancolor.com/ or http://www.beautyjoint.com/ They range from $1.75-$3.49/bottle

Hey ladies! Happy Monday! Can't believe it's here already....
I am soooooo excited about the polish I have for you today! Lime/bright greens are one of my favorites! Finding one I really enjoy has been tricking. Quite a few fails in the past. I am so in love with Fresh! It came out in the Happy Go Lucky collection, and after seeing it on blogs, I finally found it at Sally Beauty Supply!
Fresh is a lime green creme polish that applied really great! I think Fresh is the perfect name for this beauty! Two coats and this polish was opaque, and though it dries to a slightly matte finish, one coat of topcoat did the trick.
I really am overjoyed by this polish :D it's such a happy color!
Orly polishes can oftern be found at mass retail/drug stores, but I found this particular Happy Go Lucky collection at Sally Beauty Supply for $5.99/bottle.

Good Mornin and happy Sunday!
Today I have for you a polish I was LEMMING after for the longest time after seeing it on bellow blogs. After some hunting, I finally got it! *Jumps up & down!* I bring to you, Cool Couture!
Cool Couture is a dusty blue/grey with a teal shimmer woven throughout. I'm starting to really love hidden shimmers, there's so much more than meets the eye! (....had to throw in the Transformers reference...:P) CC is from Maybelline's Fall Runway 2011 collection. To be honest, I usually don't like new Maybelline polishes. I love the old(er) ones so much more! They were so much more unique than those of late. But this one really caught my eye! This is two coats.
If You ladies are lemming after this color like me, I found this display at Rite Aid, But I'm sure it can be found at other drugstores/mass chains nationwide. I paid $4.15, though prices may vary.
