My awesome friend in China recently gifted me with this little beauty from a nail polish line over there called O2 Skin. You can’t get them in America or elsewhere as far as I know, but if you Google them you can find some sites that show all their cool colors so if you live in China or are going to that area you might be able to score! She sent me this because she knows of my undying love for all things Olive and Khaki colored and this fits the bill! Thanks again!

I have no idea what this one is called as there wasn’t a name on it anywhere but I love it! It’s a gold color with a definite hint of olive green to it. It also has really small glitter particles that are blue, pink and green. The finish is somewhat metallic, but I had no streaky problems and I only needed two coats. I really like the rectangle bottle shape, which reminds me of butter LONDON, but the wand and handle on this is MUCH better and the top screws on easily and cleanly.

I recently decided to ignore my disdain for drug store nail polish and pick up some of the new Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes. I bravely looked past the hideous 1984 looking triangle shaped bottles and saw some truly gorgeous looking colors. The fact that they are cheap ($5.49) and quick drying didn’t hurt either!

One thing that was a little strange at first was the brush. It’s very wide and tapered and I thought there was no way I could get it to apply nicely. I was wrong, it actually worked out perfectly. The polishes were all opaque in two coats. I must let you know that I wore Jumpin’ Jade recently as a mani and it chipped within 24 hours. However, I wore Uptempo Plum as a pedi for a good 2 weeks with no problems. Other people have said these can last up to 5 days, so I think it all depends on the person wearing it (and how much you wash your hands, which I do A LOT). Check ‘em out!

Blue Streak is a very nice shade of icy blue. The finish is shimmery yet also metallic. I didn’t have any streaking issues with it, which was great. They aren’t kidding when they say “Insta-Dri” these dried seriously quick, like within 2 minutes!

I recently had the pleasure to review some products by Zoya and Qtica. Zoya has some great new lip glosses called “Hot Lips” and they come in a variety of shimmery colors. Qtica has a skin care line called Smart Spa and I reviewed two different scented  products from this them. Check out pics and reviews below!

Clockwise we have: Kiss Kiss, Starlet, Resolution, Blog, Luvie & Meow

You have probably noticed that I
have a new header. This one is in honor of the month of May and my trip
to England in a few weeks. As you can tell, I am super excited about
it! I also wanted to try out my newly acquired Photoshop skillz. I will
be doing a new one every month (or more) so I hope you like ‘em!

One
fun thing you might want to know about when I am in London is that I am
going to Selfridge’s (which is kind of like Sephora) and a meeting with
a representative from Illamasqua! She will be showing me their line of
products in the store. I plan on doing a great blog post with pics to
show all those who can’t make it to a Selfridge’s. I can’t wait!

Have a good one!
