LA Colors: Amethyst

Hey y'all, Happy Friday! I have more swatching I need to do! I realized today that I'm running out of things to post. And I haven't made a vlog in a while. I have a lot going on right now, but it's really good stuff. :)

So today I'm going to show y'all LA Colors Amethyst. I found this for $1 at Big Lots. In the bottle it doesn't look too interesting, but once you get it on your nails you can see all kinds of different glitter in it. I was really excited to see it was different, and not just your average, sparkly purple. Take a look!

I used three coats because it was a little sheer. I loved the formula. And that's great since it was only a dollar. I suggest checking out Big Lots every once in a while, because you never know what you might find. I have found tons of good stuff!

What do y'all think of Amethyst? Do y'all like LA Colors? Do you have any polishes from the brand? Have you been to Big Lots to look at polish? Let me know!

Thanks for reading & have a great weekend! Go Hogs! :)

Mini Haul!

I had a big weekend with some really exciting polish, so I want to share that with y'all today. I had ordered two polishes off of Amazon, and one of those was the Kleancolor polish I showed y'all in my last vlog. But I also ordered a Deborah Lippmann polish! I picked out Across the Universe! Ahh! Y'all don't know how excited I am! It's my first DL polish, and I have no idea when I'll be able to get another one, but this one is good enough for now!

I also went to Big Lots yesterday just to take a look at the cosmetics section. There really wasn't much in the way of polish, but I did find this LA Colors, Amethyst, for one dollar. Score!

And today I saw a new L'Oreal display at Walgreens and just couldn't resist picking up this polish. Oh my gosh I'm in love with it! I don't know if y'all will be able to tell from the pics, but it's kind of a dark base with like olive colored shimmer. It's gorgeous! I think the name is kinda cool too, Owl's Night. Kinda cool for fall!

So that's it for my haul! I don't know why I didn't do a vlog for this, but I figured I might as well post a haul, because I haven't done that in a long time.

I'm bracing myself for another hectic week. I can't stand my Tuesday & Thursday schedules. So that's really what I'm really dreading. But anyway!

What polish of these three is the most exciting to y'all? What would y'all like to see first? How was everyone's weekend? I'd love to hear what y'all have been up to!

Thanks for reading! :)

A Look at My Collection: Greens

For the past few weeks, I've been going through all of my polishes trying to find a better way to organize them. I always go back to organizing them by brand, so I don't know why I even bother. But, I've also been using my nail wheels a lot. I love painting them, because then I can see all the different shades I have and I can see that I don't need to keep buying one color. I've noticed that my collection of greens is pretty small, as compared to my pinks or blues. I thought it would be fun to show off my collection through nail wheels. So today I'm going to show y'all my greens!

I currently have 17 greens in my collection. There are 18 nails on the nail wheel, so the 18th nail is just a little experiment I was doing. :)
1. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Jade Jump

2. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Lime Lights

3. L.A. Colors: Current
4. Del Sol: Looking Glass

5. Zoya: Gemma

6. OPI: Green-wich Village
7. Sinful Colors: Irish Green

8. Wet n Wild: Jade

9. Sinful Colors: Show Me the Way
10. Maybelline: Go Go Green

11. Ulta: Into the Limelight

12. Rimmel: Camouflage

13. Sinful Colors: San Francisco

14. American Apparel: Hunter

15. OPI: Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow
16. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Green with Envy

17. Sally Girl: Pea-Body

18: Ulta: Pinata-Yada-Yada topped with L'Oreal I Pink I'm in Love

So those are my greens! In the first picture of the nail wheel, my Del Sol changed to its outdoor color, which is a pink-red. But, indoors and in the shade it is green. I think my favorite greens are Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow and Into the Limelight. What are your favorites? Is there anything y'all want to see on my nails?

I'm putting together a post on what polish I should wear to Florida. So far I have 10 polishes that I'd like to wear. I want y'all's opinions on those, so look for a post coming up this week!

Thanks for reading! :)

Some Blues Ya'll Haven't Seen

Hey ya'll. I wanted to share with ya'll my love of blue nail polish! For some reason, I am loving anything blue. And, I especially want to wear it on my nails! I have shown ya'll most of the blues in my collection, but here are the others I have. I'm sure I will have more here soon! haha

This is Pure Ice~ "A" List. I just recently purchased this one. It's a metallic blue. I used three coats and had no issues with application. It went on pretty smoothly. 

This is Tropez~ Shy. Another metallic blue. This one is a bit of a darker blue than the one above. I have had this one for a long time, so it's on the thick side. I used three coats here, as well.

Here is Essie~ Sag Harbor. I just need Greenport to complete the collection! This is almost like a gray/blue color. Very pretty. I used two quite thick coats just so I didn’t have to use three coats. If you use thinner coats, then you will most likely be using three coats. (Yes, I could say the word "coats" many more times.)

Here's China Glaze~ For Audrey. A lot of nail bloggers have this color. It is quite a popular China Glaze polish. I used two quite thick coats here, as well. If you are using thin coats, you will definitely need three. I guess this is what you would call a "Tiffany blue," but I've seen and heard on other nail blogs that there are other colors closer to "Tiffany blue" than this one. I honestly have no clue. lol!

Here is Maybelline New York Express Finish~ Aqua Electric. I think this is a fairly new one. I hadn't seen it before until the other day. Kind of a blue jelly with glitter in it. I used three coats. No application troubles.

This is L.A. Colors~ Static Electricity. It's a much deeper blue in real life. I couldn't capture that on camera. I used two coats, because it is quite pigmented. Very good application.

And, last but not least is N.Y.C.~ Skin Tight Denim Crème. You may recognize this from my Fourth of July nails. I used two coats here and application was pretty good. This is one that is also very pigmented.

Current

Here is L.A. Colors~ Current. It's a lovely shimmery lime green. 

I used three coats... I could almost go for four... just because it's a little bit sheer.

This was my first time using this brand and I really like it. It has a good formula and good coverage on my nails. I look forward to using my other colors from this brand.

Enjoy.
