Smokin' Hot is perfection in a bottle. It's a dusty, greyed purple that is subtly dramatic, if you catch my drift. I'm totally diggin' dusty shades right now; they're perfect for winter! I can't really tell you about the application because everything that could possibly go wrong while I was polishing definitely did. The dry time a bit slow, but again, that may have been because of my mani ineptitude today. It doesn't matter, though. I'm pretty sure you need Smokin Hot in your life.

I'm not a huge fan of reds, but Jungle Red definitely deserves some love. This beauty is a bright, neutral red in direct light, but is actually quite deep in the shade. I could still see VNL at 3 coats, but that didn't bother me. A fourth coat is a definite must for full opacity...or thicker coats maybe? The application was smooth and easy. Dry time was decent and its finish is like vinyl. Beautiful!

This is basically what I do everyday and hence the lack of makeup posts!

R&R Sabotage (lid)

R&R Emerge (lower lash line)

Stila Stingray Smudgestick (waterline)

L'Oreal Million Lashes (uhhhh this stuff is awful)

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. 

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.
