My Top 5 Holiday Nail Polishes for Winter 2013~

Hi my little snowflakes! :3 How was your Thanksgiving? Hope you had lots of yummy food and family time! Hehehe, now that Thanksgiving is over, it's starting to feel more like Winter to me now. So you know what that means? Christmas! :D
So today I'll be showing you my top 5 holiday nail polishes hehehe~



#1: Bedazzled by Claire's.
Multicolored glitter in a clear base. I did a mani with it here. Love this! As a topcoat, as a jelly sandwich, anything! Super pretty~

#2: Iridescent Glitter from Color Club Winter Affair line!
Iridescent glitter, sooo pretty! Look at that bottle pic! Again, did a review of it here. I actually won this in a giveaway by the lovely Jenni hehehe :3

#3: Call You Later by Sinful Colors
Gorgeous golden and green glitter combo in a clear base. I actually love this so much that I did two looks with it! A simple gradient, and a wrapped present mani :3 Hehehe.

Okay, #4 is not a glitter! Haha, although I do looove my glitters for the holidays :P

#4: Classy by Revlon
Such a perfect palette cleanser for me, and a really nice rosy nude. So work appropriate, and I find myself reaching for this almost every time I paint my nails! Which means something, considering I have soooo much nail polish hahaha. I was wearing this in this post.

And last but not least, one of the only polishes that remind me of Thanksgiving!

#5: Wine and Dined by Maybelline Color Show
Such a deep and sophisticated color. Dark, but still very wearable. Did a full review and a candy corn mani here:

Hehehe, okay that concludes this post! Honestly, talking about nail polishes just makes me sooooo excited hehehe, thank you guys for reading~

Talk to you all next time!
Love,

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia and Ulta Fashionably Late Swatches and Review

Hi my dears! Last week was finals week, so sorry for neglecting this blog! But now, I'm done! Wow, it feels wonderful to finish my last final, or at least the last one that REALLY matters for college hahaha.
Anyway, today's post will be of 2 polishes of the same kind. Dark jelly with colored glitter. I believe they are both dupes of some Deborah Lippmans but I dont own any, so I can't compare ):
 Here are the pictures!

Collage, just for fun :P

First, we have: Revlon Facets of Fuchsia, a polish that has undoubtedly made itself famous haha

2 coats of Revlon Facets of Fuchsia with 2 coats of Topcoat, taken from my phone because my camera refuses to capture the pink undertone of the glitter...

Index and Middle finger are 2 coats, ring and pinky are 1.

These are the pics from my camera... See how purple the glitter looks? It's actually much more pink.

And I thought this was artistic feeling, so here you go :D

 This polish has been one of my top favorite vampy colors because it's dark, yet it's so fabulous! The formula on this one is quite bad... It's very thick, and thus very lumpy and hard to apply. Maybe a bit of thinner could help. Another note, it is quite a lumpy glitter, so that means its a topcoat eater! Anyway, I really like the color, so I would willingly go through the application pain :P

Next is: Ulta Fashionably Late, a polish that I picked up during their 5 for $5 Holiday sale! Such a steal :3

2 Coats of Fashionably Late with 2 coats of Topcoat.

Taken from my phone, but the red glitter is more vibrant, just like how the first picture is.

 The formula on this one... well.. I said Facets of Fuchsia was bad right? Well this one is worse... It's thicker than FoF, and it also picks up more glitter, so the polish is hard to even out and distribute. After the second coat, you kind of have to patch in polish in some places. Again, gorgeous color, so maybe thinner will make me love it more.

Bottle shot. Ugh, it bothers me when FoF's gorgeous fuchsia glitter looks such a bland purple!!!

Anyway, aside from being angry at my camera and my phone's color detecting skills, I'm in quite a good mood today! And I hope you guys have an amazing weekend too! <3 p="">

Embarrassing Gradient

Okay... I have to confess, this is my FIRST time EVER, to do gradient nails. And... I suck. Hahhaha, I had on the Cinderella polish from last time, and had some tip wear so I decided to cover it up! But the result isn't as good as I had hoped....

Gradient was with a nameless F21 purple glitter, ring finger was a glitter sandwich with Revlon Radiant, or Blue Mosaic, I think they recently changed the name, and pinky is Color Club Sky High topped with an Anna Sui Glitter.

Sorry about the chip on my ring finger near the cuticle hahah, a piece of glitter was stuck there and I just HAD to pick it off.

Well... It's a decent first try, I guess! Oh and I have to add, my camera does NOT capture the beauty of Sky High... I wish you can see the pretty duochrome of it! I'll do a more detailed review and swatch for you guys! <3
