One of my favorite cuticle oils is this one from Boots, which I got at Target. I love the old fashioned looking bottle and the eye dropper applicator inside. Also it’s smells faintly of roses, which is nice!
As you might know, I have a thing for Day of the Dead stuff. I saw these earrings on Etsy awhile back from seller Cherryforever and I had to have them!
Happy Saturday!
Today I’ve got my top 5 favorite grey polishes for you. This could have been a top 10 category, but I managed to whittle it down to 5 fairly easily.
Without further ado, here they are in no particular order.
Hey there!
I am off to a late start this morning. Not feeling that great, bad headache, ugh. But enough about me, here is something fun for your Friday!
Milani has recently come out with a much talked about (at least on Twitter) holographic nail collection. I looked for these all over the place and couldn’t find them. Finally a couple weekends ago I made a whole day out of going to various drugstores and came across them at CVS, yay!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the bottles are ugly. They are just so dated looking, I wish they would change the shape and caps (and their logo while they’re at it). But remember grasshopper, sometimes you must look past the ugliness to see the beauty inside. 
The formula on these was great, no issues whatsoever. These were all three coats for good measure. They are all pretty holographic, so no worries about it being false advertising here! They are also super smooth to the touch, no gritty glitter feel at all. Check them out!

HD is a silver holo. This is on the sheer side of silver, so I used three thicker coats and possibly could have used another.
Good afternoon!
I have a really fun announcement from Illamasqua about a new global nail competition they are holding. Check out the details below!
