Dose of Lola

This is actually from yesterday. I'm planning a Gryffindor look to wear later tonight for the HP7 midnight showing. Yeah, I'm a nerd. :] Anyway, here's a bright look that totally reminds me of grapes.

Alright, so I love these! I really want full sizes of N-Evergreen and Empty Stocking, which are the stand-outs in my opinion. They're all beautiful, though!






Silver foil. Not unique at all, but still pretty! It looks great under DL Happy Birthday, which is my current mani. :] This is 2 coats.


Emerald green with gold shimmer running through it. It glows like nobody's business. My ring nail is 1 coat, pinky is 2. You could probably get away with one careful, thick coat of this. Thin coats are always better, though!


Pretty, shimmery red. It reminds me of Ali's Big Break in my head, but I'm probably off. There is 1 coat on each of my nails, they're just applied differently. Ring is a thin coat (obx), pinky is a thick coat. 2 coats is ideal.


Gold foil. I usually hate golds on me, but I actually kind of like this one. This is 2 coats.




I have no recollection of skipping Empty Stocking, but obviously I did. I'm planning on doing a full mani with it soon anyway, so stay tuned for that!

I'm so behind on these! Anyway, here's some more stuff I've purchased lately.



Okay, I tried to swatch those LE HC polishes but failed. They smell really weird. I know the minis in the $5 set were awful, but I thought these would be a little better! Oh well.

Uhmmm I love the Twilight Nox polish bottle. So pretty! At least something good came from that stupid saga.

I have a habit of buying collections in increments. I think it makes me feel better about spending or something. I'm not sure, but it's  kinda riduclous when documented in photos. So, OPI Burlesque...


1st Sparkle-licious backup


Minis of the colors that I kind of like but don't need, backups of Glow Up Already and Show It & Glow It,  2nd and 3rd backups of Sparkle-licious (although I may send one to my sister). 


Yep, ridiculous. :] Moving on...


Oh Joy and Tinsel Time are from Studio M's winter collection. I snapped a pic of the display but accidentally deleted it. Anyway, it's interesting. Probably not the most unique, but still pretty! I'll probably purchase the rest of the collection eventually. >_<


I hope you've noticed that I'm slowly acquiring the rest of ChG's and Essie's winters as well. And these hauls were within a week, so it really makes no sense!


Sally Hansen is seriously growing on me. IDK why I ignored her for so long. She's a cool chick.


These little guys really surprised me. I love them all! I'll have swatches posted soon.






And now for a little bit of makeup...


I hit up the Teej and picked up some NARS. The Jungle Red set and the Day & Night palette. They were $30 each! ^_^
Jungle Red








Done!

I'm not sure why I waited so long to try this. It's beautiful! Blue India applied very well, which I can't say for some of my other MAC polishes. I need to hit up some CCO's to find a back up asap. Any sightings?

These 3 polishes are part of the Fall 2010 collection. I used 2 coats for each. They're pretty, but not at all unique.





The label says Sophisticated Lad, but I assumed they just ran out of room for the y. This is a taupe cream. It's slightly more brown than grey. The application could've been better. It was goopy and runny at the same time. Thinner coats is definitely the way to go for this one.




Not So Subtle is your typical grey creme. It applied much better than Sophisticated Lad(y).


Uhhh this polish is definitely calle dGet The Blues. I'm not sure how I turned it into "Get It Blue." Oh well! It's a midtone blue creme. A little dusty. This could be opaque in one coat if you're careful.

About me

As a kid, while everyone else was collecting Pokemon cards, I was collecting Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. My addiction to lip balm evolved into an addiction to all things beauty – from makeup to hair to nail polish.
