December Hauls

So, I admit it. I’ve been a slacker lately. With the holidays (lame excuse I know) and some personal issues the blog has fallen on the backburner more than I should have let it. I’m trying to get back into the habit of posting regularly though. What better way to start than showcasing the pretty polishes that joined my collection last month?

I didn’t turn into a crazy polish buying fool in December, I had an amazing secret swap partner who bought a ton of older polishes that I missed out on and spoiled me rotten. I also got the Ciate Manicure calender and used it for an advent calender leading up to Christmas. Lastly, I made a quick trip into Ulta and they finally had a stocked Essence section and I was able to find the polishes I was looking for.

October Haul

So I didn’t too to terribly badly with my polish spending this month and was able to cross some polishes off my wishlist. Now on to the pretties!

You Pick Thursday! Finger Paints Pop Rock Pink

For today’s You Pick Thursday! I’m wearing Finger Paints Pop Rock Pink. On my poll, I mistakenly called it “Punk Rock Pink”. Oops. I guess I just wanted it to have a cooler name than it does.

Punk Rock Pink is a creme coral-ly pink polish with a hot pink shimmer. The polish took a slightly longer time to dry. I think that’s par for the course with Finger Paints. Or at least for the ones I own.

 

March Hauls

So this month I clearly went hog-wild in my polish purchasing. Hopefully April will bring some moderation.

You Pick Thursday! Finger Paints Bronze Sculpture

Today’s pick is Bronze Sculpture from Finger Paints. I have no idea which collection this came from and when I tried to use the power of Google -I got a bunch of nothing. Well, I mean it did give me results, they just weren’t useful for what I was trying to do.

So on to the polish! Bronze Sculpture is a beautiful shimmer brown color. It seems less like bronze and more like a rich mahogany. It applied like a dream and this is three coats. In person, two coats looked like enough but I was taking pictures in the late afternoon sunshine so I wanted to be on the safe side. How could I have waited so long to wear this one?!

January Hauls

So after the craziness that was my December Haul, I wanted to definitely make an effort to purchase less impulsively and really evaluate polishes I really wanted versus those I just saw and looked pretty.

The FingerPaints Special Effects Collection (L-R): Flashy, Flecked, Motley, Twisted, and Asylum. Is there anyone who didn’t have these on their must buy January list?

Avon Mattes (L-R): Violetta, Red Velvet and Grey Cement. Also Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat.

Zoya (L-R): Julienne, Karina, Edyta, Cheryl and Kieko

These are from random swaps. I found an amazing swap group on Facebook. (L-R): Nails Inc. Picadilly Circus, Julep January and Illamasqua MILF.

You Pick Thursday! Finger Paints Vintage Velvet

Today you guys picked Vintage Velvet from the Fall Fashionista collection. I don’t know about you guys but I am loving the fall collections this year. Creme finishes are my favorite and this collection doesn’t disappoint.

Vintage Velvet is a very nice dusty teal. This one’s opaque in one coat so that’s definitely a bonus. If you haven’t picked any of these up, what are you waiting for?

Don’t forget to vote in next week’s poll!
