Drugstore editon! Last week, I hit up some drugstores I've been neglecting and picked up some things. I also received my Sally's order and picked up some WnW holiday polishes this week.



I think those Studio M's were from the Fall collection.  The mood polishes don't have names, but I'm looking forward to trying them when my nails are a bit longer.




Pearl Harbor is amazing over black. I need to post pics of that asap!


Here's a mani I did with Prancer.

Don't be fooled by the blue tint of Today Was A Fairytale. That's just the base color. The actual glitter is identical to the glitter in Flurry Up. Unless you're planning on wearing them alone or layered over a very light color, there's not point of owning both in my opinion. 






The application of both was typical for a chunky glitter. A bit of time is needed between coats. I do appreciate having both because Today Was A Fairytale is more dense and will only need one coat while Flurry Up will need two when it comes to layering. I'll post some pictures of these layered over black and white later, but the difference is subtle.



T-B: DL TWAF, SOPI FU, DL TWAF, SOPI FU 
3 coats of each.


Once again, unless you plan on wearing these alone, there's no significant need to own both. Especially since the DL is $20 and the SOPI is $9.

2 coats of Prancer over 1 coat of Black Creme




Okay Wet n Wild, would you like to explain why on EARTH you made these bottles so tiny?? It's ridiculous. I know it's only only $1.99, but dang! Anyway, hopefully I can stock up on some backups of Prancer because it is fabulous. The glitter is identical to the glitter in DL Ruby Red Slippers, so I bet this could be frakened into a dupe with the right amount of black. Maybe. Anyway, it's gorgeous and everyone should own it.

This is the perfect holiday set! Together, the set screams Christmas, but Phat Sant and Jolly Holly could definitely be worn year round. They're worth every penny because you won't just be using them during the month of December. Of course, if you are in love with Part Hearty and want to wear it everyday, go for it! There are no rules.







Phat Santa is a beautiful red. It's the tiniest bit warm on me, but in the bottle it appears to be neutral. Phat Santa looks like a jelly with one coat and a squishy creme with two. I didn't expect to like this one, but I'm happily surprised.


Party Hearty. It's marvelous! I'm totally loving the plethora of sequin glitters being released lately.


Jolly Holly is a gorgeous evergreen shimmer that literally glows. Absolutely beautiful. I was most excited to try this one, and I was not disappointed.


Yay!!

I did a quick comparison of TDI and FB because they seemed similar in my head. I don't typically like dupes because I feel dumb for wasting money that could've been used on a unique color. Occasionally, though, I like a color so much that I don't mind having a dupe as a backup. Anyway, they're not dupes. FB's duochrome shimmer is much more obvious and than TDI. I don't prefer one over the other, and they're definitely different enough to own both.
