Revlon - Scandalous

Really quick post tonight since I have about a million things to do before school starts back up tomorrow. Today I went to Walgreen's to get some notebooks and, as always, ended up moseying in the nail polish. I saw Revlon's Scandalous and after seeing so many swatches across the blogishere, I knew I needed it.

Scandalous is a purple glitter and large purple hex glitter in a purple base, and absolutely gorgeous! This applied super easy and in only two coats.

Isn't it gorgeous with the flash? So in love.

That's it for today, happy MLK JR Day!

Zoya - Luna

I swear that Friday the 13th is totally killing me today! I'm not one of those people who believe in Friday the 13th, but today may have made me a believer. No, nothing terrible happened but it did take me literally five tries to do my nails! For some reason, every time I did them either I would ruin them in the last moment or just hate it and start over. Finally I went to my fall back - sparkles.

I got my first two Zoyas the other day and this brand is awesome! Luna is a silver glitter in a dove grey base. I used one coat of China Glaze Pelican Grey as a base and one coat of Luna. It had really good coverage and the only reason I put a base coat on was because swatches I saw on other blogs that alone the glitter made it look sparse but I think if applied with an even hand that two coats would  give full coverage. I'll be sure to try it soon, I just could. not. bear. doing my nails again.

Look at that shine! I'm so easily distracted by glittery things...

So, do you believe in Friday the 13th?

China Glaze - Secret Periwinkle

Today's a simple color and glitter, mostly because I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary today or tomorrow. I got China Glaze Secret Periwinkle from Sally's with gift cards on a whim, and it's a really pretty color that I don't already have.

two coats, top coat, no flash

I thought that this was going to be a no good polish because after one coat it was really thin and just seemed like it would take a few more coats than I'd like for full coverage, but nope! Only two! Also, Look how weird the color came out when I put the flash on!

I thought that the plain color, while lovely, could use some oomff, so I added Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Set the Stage. It's a clear polish with small gold glitter and big hexagon glitters. I love it for putting on top of so so colors.

two coats of CG, one coat SH, no flash.

That's it for today! I did pick up three of the six Nicki Minaj colors the other day, so keep an eye out for those!
