Hi, it’s me again.

I know I am posting like a maniac today but I have SO MUCH to show you, and I feel overwhelmed by the amount of it! So might might be posting a few times a day every now and then. And it might not all be nail polish either, because I am a huge makeup fiend also

I just got these in this afternoon and am so freaking excited about them! They are Stila’s Holiday Smudge Pot collection (limited edition), which features two new colors; Starry Night and Violet. The set of four also comes with a small eye liner brush.

I haven’t used these on my eyes yet, but when I applied them on my hand for the swatches, they were SO creamy and smooth. Also extremely opaque, which is very important to me because I hate bad color payoff! Check them out, so purty!

Kitten

Kitten is a light beige/pink shimmer. This is a really great neutral or highlight color.

Friday is here finally!

I can’t even believe I am showing you HOLIDAY stuff already seeing as it just turned to fall and it’s still hot here in the Bay Area. But I have quite a backlog gathering up of holiday collections now I so thought I better start swatching them before spring 2010 sneaks up on me

This limited edition collection from Jessica is called Social Lights. The bottles are so freakin cute, shaped like little colorful light bulbs.

The formula on these is decent, if not a little thick. You will definitely want to wait a couple minutes between coats on these (especially Starlet) or they tend to get clumpy and weird at the tip.

Cute light bulb bottles!

Morning hump day humpers!

By now you’ve heard that Urban Decay is back in the nail polish biz, which is, as Martha Stewart would say, a good thing!

I remember many, many moons ago buying some Urban Decay nail polish and totally loving the crazy, dark, glittery colors they had. Their slogan was “Does pink make you puke?” and yes, yes it did. This was WAY back in my early 20′s which was a lifetime ago. Sadly, I wasn’t as nice to my makeup back then as I am now and when something was old, I tossed it without a further thought.

What I always loved about Urban Decay right from the beginning was that they rebelled against the “norm” and offered a range of really dark, cool colors that no one else had. I also loved, and still love the names. They are the kind of brand that girls who are into heavy metal love (as opposed to say Mary Kay) and ALL my friends like their stuff!

But now it’s redemption time because they have seven new mini colors in their Apocalyptic holiday kit and I have ‘em all! Check ‘em out.

White Widow

White Widow is a dove grey/white polish with very subtle silvery shimmer. I love this, it’s a nice deviation from your typical white or pale grey. This was a bit thick going on, so be careful when applying to wait 2 minutes between coats or it could get lumpy or bubbled. This was three coats.
