Good Wednesday morning everyone!

Today I am showing you possibly the most perfect Halloween polish ever. It’s by China Glaze, and it’s called Fortune Teller. This is a Sally’s exclusive, and if you don’t have it already you must try to find it, it’s amazing!

The formula is really excellent on this, its thick and chunky, but also very opaque. You will only need two coats. It does tend to be rough feeling because of all the glitter, but a good thick top coat will help with that. Peep it out!

Fortune Teller

Fortune Teller is a black jelly base filled with orange glitter. The glitter is both small & round AND small, medium & large hexagon shaped.  I love it, it’s quite simply perfect. As I mentioned I only needed two coats and it’s just fabulous.

I probably won’t wear polish on Halloween night as it doesn’t really go with my costume, but I might wear it the rest of Halloween weekend! Oh and in case you were wondering just what I am going to be, the plan is Anne Boleyn. I am pretty sure she didn’t wear polish, sadly. Oh and don’t worry, I will be posting pics

Hey ya’ll!

Today instead of showing you nail polish, I am going to do a review of a brand spankin’ new mascara by L’Oreal called Telescopic Explosion Mascara in black. This is an honest review of this product, which I am not getting paid for.

When I first opened up the package I was like, um ok it looks like a normal mascara, I wonder how this is going to be any different? Then I opened it up and saw the wand and kind of shrieked a little bit in fright.

Happy Monday morning to ya!

As you probably already know, China Glaze has released 50 new colors in their Glitters and Chrome Collection, some of which are already available in stores and some which aren’t quite yet. I already reviewed some of them here a few weeks ago and today I’ve got some of the new chrome ones.

The formula on these is pretty great and opaque, but use a light hand as chromes can get streaky. These are all two coats.

Millennium

Millennium is a metallic silver. This almost looks like my nails are wrapped in silver foil it’s SOOOO chrome. I love it. I think this is the most silver looking polish I’ve ever used. This might be part of their upcoming Khrome Collection (not to be confused with the Glitter & Chrome Collection) which is a six piece set. I don’t know though, I have no information on this directly from China Glaze so I don’t want to confirm or deny that.

Happy Saturday morning!

Today I’ve got CND’s Blackjack to show you with the effects. There is definitely a difference in Blackjack compared to some of the lighter colors with the effects, as you’ll see.

A couple people had requested that I also show you what the effects look like over my bare nail so you could see them on their own. I was happy to oblige, so I’ll show you those swatches soon!

Oh and I forgot to actually take a picture of Blackjack on it’s own so to let you know, it’s basically a solid black creme. I used two coats.

Blackjack with Ice Blue Shimmer on thumb, Sapphire Sparkle on pointer, Amethyst Sparkle on middle, Emerald Shimmer on ring and Jade Sparkle on pinky.

Because Blackjack is a solid black color the effects came out either deeper or brighter with this one. It’s pretty interesting how it works depending on the polish color!

Good afternoon all!

I got my MAC Style Black nail lacquers in and had to show them right away because they are so cool. There are three in this collection but I didn’t get Nocturnelle because it’s just a solid black creme, and I have a gazillion of those already.

The formula for both of these was pretty good. They do seem a wee bit thick, but nothing to panic about. After the first coat just let it dry for about 2 minutes, then apply a second coat and you are good to go. Check them out!

Baby Goth Girl

Baby Goth Girl is a dark purple with red shimmer and different sized gold glitter flakes. I love it because it’s unique and very fall looking. I also love the flake glitter rather than the typical round shape, it makes it more interesting to me. This was two coats.
