Today I have an Advent calendar, of sorts. I've been lusting over British Advent calendars for years and they're just starting to catch on over here. I know Benefit has one, but I haven't found any other full advent calendars here in the States. I did find this little set that's an Ulta exclusive from Tarte. It's a 12 days of Christmas calendar. I've long been obsessed with opening presents as many days as possible in December and this helps feed my present addiction.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You get 12 sample or deluxe sample size items in a very cute calendar package. The actual name is <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod11351049&skuId=2279090&_requestid=281678" target="_blank">The Petite Treats 12 Days of Tarte</a>, and I think you get a really good variety of goodies. You get a mascara primer, 2 different formulas of mascara, a lip tint, a blush, a self-tanning towelette, eye cream, primer, glow booster, travel-sized maracuja oil, face scrub, and a setting powder. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This sells for 37 dollars and is worth far more than that. I tore into this baby the night I got it. There was no waiting for Christmas to open it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let me know what you think. Are you on the Advent calendar band wagon? I wish I could have them all!</div>

The Holiday scents are here! Nothing makes me more excited that discovering when Holiday collections are released. That being said there are several posts I'm planning for the month of November all about Holiday goodies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I have a couple of <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/seasonal-scents/" target="_blank">The Body Shop's</a> offerings. It was actually the Holiday scents that got me hooked on The Body Shop to begin with, and I haven't looked back since. I have two sets today and both are priced at 15 dollars. One contains three one ounce hand creams and the other three mini sized body butters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First off the formula of both products is out of this world. I've been a fan of both their body butters and hand creams for ages. I like that they recently came out with smaller hand creams. It's much easier to carry one around if its smaller.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As for the scents they're festive, but not spicy. I like the spicier scents like the spiced vanilla they had a few years ago. It was amazing. This year we have Glazed Apple, Vanilla Brulee, and Frosted Cranberry. The apple and cranberry are very fruity and nice, but the vanilla is the real winner in my opinion. It smells so similar to their other vanilla scents. I love it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Both sets come in cute packaging, but before I could get photos of it my dog ran away with the box to the body butters. He loves to steal paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think these are both great stocking stuffers or even stand alone gifts for someone on a budget. As someone on a budget myself I'll be buying more to give to people on my Christmas lists.</div>

It's that time again, Time to switch up the makeup routine. Honestly, my routine rarely changes. I may switch up colors but overall things stay the same. That being said I'll tell you about a few of my new additions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For fall I'm loving the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4040047&_requestid=1179686" target="_blank">Revlon Lip Butter</a> in Berry Smoothie. It's the perfect balmy berry color that's not too dark for me to pull off. I own a few other colors and of the few I have this is the least pigmented. I think that works in it's favor in this instance. I'm not big on the bright lips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing I have changed recently is my foundation. I've been struggling with liquid foundations for years and I'm never happy with the result. They always find their way to break down on my nose and give me trouble. So I switched to a powder foundation. I got a sample of the<a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=VP11362" target="_blank"> Bare Minerals</a> loose foundation and I've been loving it. There is still some break down, but since you need so little to get good coverage it's not bad. I know I'll be buying the full size when I run out of my sample.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My last new product that I'm in LOVE with is the <a href="http://makeup.eyeslipsface.com/search?p=R&srid=S3-USESD01&lbc=elfcosmetics&w=lip%20exfoliator&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.eyeslipsface.com%2fstudio%2flips%2flip_balm%2flip_exfoliator&rk=1&uid=603712449&sid=4&ts=custom&rsc=WCwXgEwWd0Blynrw&method=and&isort=score&view=grid" target="_blank">ELF Lip Exfoliator</a>. It's by far the most convenient lip scrub I've come across and I love it. I can't say enough good things about it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So those are the new things in my makeup bag. As the months go on you'll find that the other things very rarely change. </div>

My love for all things neutral struck again. This time in the form of these gorgeous super pigmented pressed shadows. I've seen these floating around the community for ages, but didn't really buy into the hype. I came across some of them in a super clearance sale a few months ago and snatched up the middle shade called Cafe Latte. It's the perfect inner corner and all over lid color. After falling for the consistency and staying power I knew I needed more.<br />
<br />
I had seen swatches of Amber Rush (on the right) and thought it was the perfect rose gold color. I began searching and after looking in about 5 different stores I found it while I was on vacation in the Keweenaw this past June. I was more excited about this shadow than I was pretty much anything else on my trip.<br />
<br />
My most recent acquisition is the color on the left. Liquid Diamond. The perfect purple toned grey. I wear it all over my lid and often wear it alone. The photo shows it more as a blue tone, but I've noticed that lots of purples show up blue. If you ever find yourself in the makeup section of your local store give this color a gander. I'm so in love with it.<br />
<br />
The claims are that this color will last for 24 hours. I've tried it with primer and without. With primer I went all day without a crease in sight. Without primer I started noticing a crease after about three hours. I normally never go sans primer if I'm wearing eye shadow.<br />
<br />
The best way to apply these are with your finger, but I've recently found that a small flat synthetic concealer brush works pretty well too.<br />

I blame YouTube for my love of <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CD8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jomalone.com%2F&ei=B4hBVIWVHLjfsASLo4CQBA&usg=AFQjCNGQATfOVxzGqziHK8w4yEl5g_7n9w&sig2=UBUQXrvg7Xa32hlUawp0sw&bvm=bv.77648437,d.cWc" target="_blank">Jo Malone</a>. After seeing several YouTubers mention this brand and more specifically this perfume I knew I had to try it out. Sadly, I live in the middle of nowhere with no access to a Jo Malone counter or store. Enter Ebay! I know it can be tricky buying cosmetics and/or perfumes from Ebay, but there are a few really good sellers out there. I searched and found a sample to buy, and at first I wasn't in love.</div>

On first sniff I thought it smelled a an old lady, but after trying it a few more times it grew on me. It grew on me so much that I took the dive a bought a bottle. Here's a list of the notes so you can get an idea of the scent. Top note is red apple; middle notes are peony, jasmine, carnation and rose; base note is suede. It's not my usual scent, but I like that I'm branching out as a perfume wearer.</div>

I'm planning a trip to Chicago and found out there's a Jo Malone counter in several stores I'm going to visit. I can't wait to go there and smell all the pretties. On the other hand. I'm nervous about how much I'm going to spend. </div>

I'm a big advocate for pastels colors in fall. I think they can add a pop to your outfit like no other. That being said it's tricky to get a pastel creme polish to behave. I've had several experiences with streaky messes, which are never fun. I found these beauties at Walmart a few months ago and knew right then and there that I needed them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They're both from the <a href="http://us.rimmellondon.com/products/nails/60-seconds-nail-polish" target="_blank">Rimmel London</a>'s 60 second line. One is a yummy mint and the other a light lilac color. Both have great coverage in two coats, but being the stickler that I am I used three. Since buying these I've picked up about five more colors from the range including a gorgeous teal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are two things about these polishes that really get me excited. First of all the price. They're 1.50 each. One one hand you can buy a few, but on the other hand you can buy ALL of them. The other thing I love about them is the color range. For the most part they're all creme finishes, but there are a few that are shimmery. I can't wait to go and pick out a few more. </div>

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE monthly <a href="http://www.beautybar.com/SampleSociety/LandingPage.qs?utm_source=CondeNast&utm_medium=Banner&utm_campaign=CNSiteBBCreatedAprilBox2Test2" target="_blank">sample boxes</a>. So when I heard about one from Allure, one of the best beauty magazines around I had to have it. It's 15 dollars a month with free shipping. I can say for sure that this month was worth WAY more that 15 dollars. Nothing better than getting a full size high end product for practically free, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unlike some sample services you can't really customize it like you can with services like Ispy. That's a bit of a downside, but overall I'm happy with my box this month and can't wait to get my hands on next month's box. I got four product, three are samples or deluxe samples, but the last one is a full size product. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not really into self tanning so the <a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/search.php?c=%2Fitem.php%3Fid%3D524&type=item&oid=524&sid=702193" target="_blank">Tarte Brazilliance</a> pads are going to go to waste. I think they're a great product, but just not for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sample of <a href="http://www.sephora.com/dahlia-divin-P388718?skuId=1641349" target="_blank">Givenchy's</a> new perfume was great because I really wanted to give it a sniff. I was sadly disappointed in the smell. It's far too heavy for my liking. I'm horrible at describing scents so here's a list of the notes. Golden Fruit (Mirabelle Plum), White Flower Bouquet (Mainly Jasmine), Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod5000009" target="_blank">Lorac</a> primer is something I might have to get in full size. I'm loving the feel of it. I'm also loving that it's a matte primer. As a girl with super oily skin a matte finish is key. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly we have a product that I'm the most excited about. I've been on the search for a good eye cream for months and had just about given up. Enter the <a href="http://www.restorsea.com/Restorsea-E304-Revitalizing-Eye-Cream/dp/B008OIT0BK" target="_blank">Restorsea</a> eye cream. A product derived from the sea with all sorts of good for you natural ingredients, and none of the icky ones. When I saw this in the box I squeed a bit. I squeed even more when I found out that the full size is 85 dollars. The final squee came when I went to the site and found out the "sample" I got in my box WAS the full size!!!!!!!!!! There are no words for how excited I was to have an 85 dollar product in my 15 dollar box. If that's the quality I can expect from this every month, sign me up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

I was contacted by <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/" target="_blank">Firmoo</a> a few weeks ago, and asked if I would like to try out a pair of glasses for free. Being a glasses wearer I jumped all over the offer. My first thoughts were to get a new pair of sunglasses, but I was quickly informed that the offer was for regular glasses only. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I browsed their site and found a few pairs I loved. I have a really wide head and there wasn't really a pair that sounded like it would fit the right way. After searching for a while I landed of this pair of subtle cat eye glasses. I love a vintage style frame and this was just perfect. The fit is a little tight, but nothing I haven't dealt with before. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Checking out was easy. Just enter your prescription and such and away you go. You may have noticed in my disclaimer at the top that there were only partially free. That's because I have pretty bad eyes. I had to upgrade to a different lens and that was a ten dollar cost. My pretty bad eyes also stop me from wearing contacts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My overall experience was a good one and I won't hesitate to look at their site in the future. My next pair will without a doubt be a new pair of sunglasses. </div>

Can we just take a moment and freak out because it's OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!! Quite possibly my favorite month ever. The leaves, the sweaters, the boots, and the covers. I'm a sucker for snuggling up in bed with blankets and a good book/laptop and wasting a day. I'm really good at it and October is the perfect month to waste a day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On to the product! <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CD4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.glamglowmud.com%2F&ei=IiEhVKjMNoqTyATjmoKwBQ&usg=AFQjCNFWl4j785W2diMxM1I6NX_e1SH-Bg&sig2=7wHADWInr4QnrM00djk2yg&bvm=bv.75775273,d.aWw">Glam Glow</a> is something I've been lusting over for months. I'm a girl with greasy skin and clogged pores. I don't want to be, but that's what I'm stuck with. I had heard so many things about this mask, but with the whopping price tag I was stunned. I finally found it on sale online and bought it. I didn't know what I was missing. I don't think I can ever live without this in my life. It's that good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, I'm not going to post any action shots because no one needs to see my blackheads. It's just not proper. So if you really need to see this in action look it up on Google. The mask is super dark and thick. It covers really well and dries to a lighter grey color when it's ready to be washed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I put a thin layer on my trouble spots: my nose, my chin, and any other spots that have issues. I like to let it set for 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a warm wash cloth. Afterwards my face feels soft and clear and ready for serum and moisturizing. I try to do this at least twice a month, but if my skin is being really crappy I do it once a week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you tried any of the Glam Glow masks? I've only tried this one, but I'm intrigued and want to try more. What are your favorites?</div>

I love nail polish. There's no denying it, but I'm not the biggest fan of matte finishes. So when I saw this collection I was skeptical, but at less than 2 dollars a bottle it's worth a shot. This collection has six gorgeous colors and I love them all for fall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do have to say these don't really dry to a matte finish. They have more of a satin finish which I like a bit more than flat matte. Every time I've wear these colors I still put on a top coat. It just makes the polish last longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The colors from left to right on the swatch wheel are: Rouge 66, Echo Dark, Berry on Trend, Distressed to Impress, Careful, It's Vine-tage, and LAC-My Mani? All of the swatches are three coats no top coat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favorites are the winter white, the purple, and the brown. I've really been into neutrals recently, and that winter white/creamy color is the perfect undies for so many toppers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've seen these at several Walgreen's stores, and all of them are still in great supply. These are limited edition so if you're interested, go grab them up. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/">The Body Shop</a>. I was invited to an at home party (do they still do these?) several years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I recently took advantage of a buy three get three free sale on their site and wanted to share my goodies. If you missed this promo, don't worry. There's always at least one promo that's current.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stocked up on my all time favorite moisturizer. The <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/bath-body-care/body-moisturizers/body-butter.aspx#/body-butter.aspx">body butter</a>. There's nothing better. I bought two, one in almond and the other in coconut. Both have been go to scents for me for years. They're the perfect thing to keep my skin hydrated all winter long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also thought I would try a new <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/bath-body-care/hands-feet/foot-care-products/spa-wisdom-africa-honey-beeswax-hand-foot-butter.aspx">hand and foot cream</a> that smells of honey and beeswax. it does smell a little of old lady, but the scent doesn't linger. The texture on this is thicker than a body butter, but it absorbs so quickly it doesn't leave a greasy feeling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My one and only makeup product is a <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/makeup/face-powder/honey-bronzing-powder.aspx">bronzer</a>. I'm so pale that I've yet to find a bronzer that doesn't make me look orange. I've heard good things about this, and I'm hopeful it will work. I got it in shade two as when I placed my order as shade one was out of stock. Last I checked it was back in stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I went a little skin care crazy with this order. It started with an old favorite, the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/shop-by-line/camomile.aspx#/camomile.aspx">chamomile cleansing butter</a> (review to come), and went off the rails from there. Since I love the cleansing butter to much I wanted to try something else from the chamomile range. I grabbed the chamomile cleansing oil and I can only hope that it works as well as the butter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After I'm done with the makeup removing cleansers, like the chamomile ones, I like to use something that actually cleans my skin. I decided to try the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/shop-by-line/tea-tree.aspx#/tea-tree.aspx">tea tree oil</a> cool and creamy cleanser. Since I have oily acne prone skin I thought it would be perfect. I can already tell we're going to get along, nothing can smell that good and be bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also thought I would try out a serum. I have oily skin for sure, but it can also be really sensitive. So, I decided to give the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/shop-by-line/aloe-skin-care/aloe-protective-serum.aspx">aloe serum</a> a go. It's super mild, but really helps keep your skin from drying. I've used it a few times and can already tell a difference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been hearing tons of good things about The Body Shop's Vitamin C range and wanted to try couple things. I opted for the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/skin-care/facial-serums/vitamin-c-skin-boost.aspx">Vitamin C Skin Boost</a> which can be used before or after moisturizer. It can also act as a makeup primer. I also bought the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/skin-care/spf-facial-moisturizers/vitamin-c-daily-moisturizer-spf-30.aspx">Vitamin C day lotion</a>. It has an SPF of 30 and a nice orange scent. I'm very sensitive to the smell of chemical sunscreen, so I can tell this one isn't going to work for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm really pleased with what I bought and can't wait to start using some of the new products. Let me know what you'd like to me review from my haul.</div>

It's no secret that I love nail polish. As much as I love it, I've been in a funk. There have been weeks, that's right, weeks where I've gone naked. Just a base coat longing for the perfect color to paint my tips. Well, not anymore. I've found the color that changes everything.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.orlybeauty.com/rage-578.html">Orly Rage</a> isn't a new color and it's not even new to me. I've had this bottle for the better part of a year. It was just sitting there in my rack looking neglected. It had even started to separate. Then one day I looked at it and knew. It was time to bust out the metallic goodness that is Rage.<br />
<br />
It's a great coppery almost rose gold foil polish, and unlike many other foil polishes it applies like a dream. No streaking and no need for the obligatory third coat to even it all out. I just did two coats and coat of my favorite top coat and I was out the door.<br />
<br />
I have so much love for this color that I've worn it twice in the last month. I keep reaching for it, and think it will take my nails into fall with ease and style.<br />

I've been wanting to try <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a> makeup for ages. I just needed to find the right catalyst to give me the push I needed. I came across an adorable cat palette on Facebook and I knew it had to be mine. Once I got to the magical bargain filled site I went a bit nuts. I can't get over the packaging. First the cat palette, so cute. I can't. Then the floral packaging on the six pan palette is drool-worthy. So much so that I left it in tact. I have it in a little shrine that I've made for beautiful packaging. Yeah, I'm that kind of weird.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I got three eye shadow palettes, a face palette, a blush, a vanilla lip scrub (yum!), a moisturizing lipstick, a super gorgeous velvet lip gloss, and to top it all off a Barbie makeup bag. I can't tell you how much I love that makeup bag. As soon as I was done with these photos I dumped out my other makeup bag and put my essentials in the Barbie bag. I let out a little squee when I opened it.</div>

I have plans to review a couple items from this collection and will post more info in there. I just wanted to share all the goodies that I got. I can honestly say that this will not be my last Forever 21 purchase. </div>

<br />
Wow, it's been a long time reader. I thought had retired from the wonderful world of nail polish blogging, but alas. She's a fickle mistress. I just can't give it up. So, I'm here today to present the perfect fall polish.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was contacted by <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/" target="_blank">Mod Cloth</a> to pair one of their party dresses with nail art inspired by said dress. Now, if you know me I'm horrible at nail art. So, I created a polish to go with the dress I chose. That's one thing I'm good at doing. I can make polish like no other.<br />
<br />
Feeling like making the most of what's left of summer? Go check out their dresses and the post I was <a href="http://blog.modcloth.com/2013/11/25/nail-klub-dazzling-nail-art-ideas-inspired-by-party-dresses/" target="_blank">inspired</a> by.</div>
<div>

Here's a picture of the dress in question. Isn't she gorgeous?</div>

You can see my love of vintage and lace with this dress. I like to think I captured this dress really well in my polish. I wanted something simple that would let the dress shine. With that in mind I created a brown-red base with shimmer in gold and pink. I really love how it turned out. Simple, yet gorgeous.<br />

I'm in love with it. I never want to take it off. I think it works well with the dress and as a great color for fall. The weather her has been super humid and my original swatch wound up being matte, and while I'm not a fan of matte polishes, this color matted could make me a believer. It just that stunning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While the intent was to make a polish just for this dress, I think this would be a great addition to my store. If you're interested in a bottle let me know and I can make up a batch to list.</div>

Today dear reader, I have collection based on Moulin Rouge. There are no words for how exciting this is for me. I LOVE Moulin Rouge and basically anything French. I got sent minis of all six of these colors and all of them are holographic. My all time favorite finish for nail polish. So, onto the polish!</div>

Spectacular, Spectacular! I dare you to not sing this while saying the name. It can't be helped. This is a gorgeous super holographic topcoat that looks like magic on your nails. I've paired it with a deep grey color and can literally see this being stunning over any number of colors.<br /><br />

The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn is a deep blurple holo polish. It took two coats to get great coverage, but I did a third coat because I'm insecure like that. I just love this color and had a hard time swatching the other colors in the collection after this.<br /><br />

One Day I'll Fly Away is a while holo that isn't too sheer. Can I get an Amen? This is something I've struggles with for ages, the inability to find a light colored polish that covers my stubborn nails. This one fits the bill, and I can see a full size bottle in my future.<br /><br />

Unteal the End of Time brings a bit of tear to my eye. Okay fine, the whole movie tends to bring a tear to my eye. But I'm a sucker for a good love story. This is a GORGEOUS teal holo that doesn't stain and it's opaque in two coats. You can't get better than that.<br /><br />

I'm the Green Fairy is a brighter green holo polish that is just so Absinthe. I love it. I did two coats and got great coverage, but did a third just to even everything out.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, this collection is great, and I highly recommend it. Application was perfect for all six colors and I'm honestly in love with them all. </div>

You can buy these beauties for nine dollars each with the exception of Spectacular, Spectacular! which is twelve dollars, but it's totally worth it.</div>

A few months ago during the share the love fest that was all over Facebook I was introduced to Finger Lickin' Lacquer. At the time she hadn't released any polishes but was working on her first collection. Fast forward to now and she has her first collection ready for sale. It's based on Ru Paul's Drag Race. Now I've never seen the show, but it certainly sounds interesting. The collection consists of 8 colors and 6 of them are scented. I don't normally like scented polishes because they usually give me a migraine, but these were all really nicely scented. </div>

Both colors took four coats to get the coverage I got and the bigger glitters were hard to get out. I've talked to the creator and she's working on adding more glitter and getting better base. Both colors looked great over this light pink, but I think they'd look great over any color. <div>

Next up is Good Luck and Don't F..K it Up i'm not really a fan of the name mostly because it's NSFW. Good Luck is a super sheer green crelly with green and gold glitters in different sizes and shapes. <br /><br />

I paired this with a very pale green creme to get full coverage. This is one of two unscented polishes in the collection and you can tell the base is different. It smells so chemically, and strangely the smell of this gave me a headache. Once again, this is one of the polishes the creator is working on fixing. She's going to make it more opaque and use a different base so it's not as strong.</div>

Fishy and Fierce is a SWEDISH FISH scented polish. Swedish Fish are my all time favorite candy and I love the smell of them. This polish reminded me of childhood. It's a super bright shimmery blue that is loaded with all sorts of glitters. I used three coats to get full coverage.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lastly we have Drop Dead Orchid. As much as I loved the entire collection this color is spectacular.<br /><br />

Another scattered holographic color Drop Dead Orchid is the perfect mauvey color and because it's a more jelly consistency the holo shows up better. This is the other unscented polish and has the same base as the other unscented color. Once again, she's working on changing bases so this beauty won't be so strongly scented. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Overall, I'm really pleased with her first collection and I can't wait to see what else she comes up with. I'm really impressed. You can find all the info you need about Finger Lickin' Lacquer at her <a href="http://fingerlickinlacquer.com/" target="_blank">website</a>.<br /><br /></div>

<br />
I'm not really a big St. Patrick's Day person, but this collection is working it magic on me. It's a set of five colors all based around beautiful greens and golds. All five are stand out colors and I think you'll see why. This is a shorter post as while I was loading photos a bunch of the ones for this post got deleted. <br />

Firstly, I have Tigris. A gorgeous shimmery green with gold flakies. Pictures cannot do this color justice. You need to see it on your nails and in the sun. I am in love with this color. It's almost neon, and those golden flakies. Swoon worthy, I tell you. I did two coats on it's own and got full coverage, and I can't wait to try this color again.<br />

I'm not normally a gold fan, but Kiera has won me over. It's a deeper gold that just screams luxury. This color is like butter it's so smooth and shimmery. It's another color that you have to see to believe. Once again, this is two coats on it's own without a top coat.<br />

Fidelma is a different color it's shimmery and glittery, but in a different way. You can see gold, green, and even some silver shimmer along with pale green glitters. I didn't know what color to pair it with, so I went neutral. I put one coat over a deep chocolate brown. I just love the way this looks.<br />

Cait is another glittery topper that befuddled me as to pairing options. So, I went with nude and love the look. It's like I'm not wearing undies, but I totally am. Kinda cheeky. This is one coat over a nude creme, and I love it. I think this might be a new favorite way to wear glitter polish.<br />

Lastly, but not leastly (not a word) I have Ailis. A forest green jelly with small gold holographic glitters. I love the way this looks, such a squishy jelly sandwich. I used two coats for full opacity, and I love this look.<br />

The Golden Fields collection was released on the first and as far as I know will be limited edition. Which is your favorite color form the collection?<br />

I've seen this going around some of my favorite channels like crazy the past few weeks, and really wanted a shot at it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">QUESTIONS!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1: What are you wearing? – A green Hello Kitty shirt and orange pants. They're polish making clothes, and I'm not planning on leaving the house today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2: Ever been in love? – Not properly in love. I've been in one sided love, which sucks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3: Ever had a terrible breakup? –No, but then again, I’ve
never really had a serious relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4: How tall are you? -5’7”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5: How much do you weigh? – More than I should.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6: Any tattoos? - Nope, it's just not part of my personality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7: Any piercings? Just my ears. I used to have a second hole in each ear, but they were uneven. So I let them close up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">9: Favourite show? -Since I'm adapting this tag for my blog, I feel I can change the rules a bit. Ruling out design shows which are primarily what I watch on the actual television. My favorite American shows are Big Bang Theory and The Vampire Diaries. Most of my TV viewing is online and British. Besides the obvious Doctor Who, Sherlock, Downton Abbey, and QI. I really love Miranda, and The IT Crowd.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">10: Favourite bands? –Since first seeing this tag I've tried my hardest to come up with a favorite, and I'm coming up blank. There are lots of bands that I like, but none that are my FAVORITE. I really like Muse, System of a Down, Silverchair, Queens of the Stone Age, Bastille, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day just to name a few. I really like hard rock and alternative rock.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">12: Favourite song?- Again, I can't just pick one. Right now my top six are- I see Fire- Ed Sheeran, Story of My Life- One Direction, Happy- Pharrell Williams, Things We Lost in the Fire- Bastille, Stay the Night- Zedd, and Hey Brother- Avicii</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">16: Favourite Quote? –I’m horrible with quotes. There </span>aren't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> any that really stick out to me
as being one that I live my life to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">17: Favourite actor? –I've thought about this and even spent a little time in denial, but it has to be Benedict Cumberbatch. Forget that he's gorgeous, the man's a chameleon. He can change himself entirely depending on the roll.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">18: Favourite color? – I love color, but I think I have

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">20: Where do you go when you're sad? – I don’t so much go
somewhere. When I’m sad, I listen to
music or watch a show that makes me laugh.
Usually it’s a QI or something similar that snaps me out of my sadness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">22: How long does it take you to get ready in the
morning? –</span>I've<span style="font-family: inherit;"> gotten myself down to about 30 minutes on a busy day with no
makeup, and that’s from bed to door. If
there’s makeup involved about an hour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">25: Turn off? –Rudeness and foolishness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">26: The reason I joined YouTube/ started blogging? – It all started with
someone who wanted to review some of my products. I watched the review and thought I could do
better. So there you go. I started blogging because I wanted a place to write some random thoughts. It wasn't until early 2013 that I got the idea to review polishes. I had a bunch that I had collected and thought I should do something with them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">27: Fears? –Bees and tornadoes<o:p></o:p></span></div>

stressed out because I was tired.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">29: Last time you said you loved someone? – I told my
Bubby I loved him, and he answered with a resounding meow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">30: Meaning behind your YouTube/Blog Name? –It’s my brand name, and I thought what better way to get my name out there than to name all of my social media pages with it. The one exception is my twitter. I don't know what I was thinking when I used my name. The meaning behind the LynBDesigns name is that Lyn are the last three letters of my first name, B is my middle </span>initial<span style="font-family: inherit;">, and I design things. It actually started out when I was really into designing clothes. I can't sew, but I loved to draw designs. I thought I needed a brand name and it's stuck since then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

There comes a point during the winter when I get tired of dark colors and wearing a coat. Usually this happens in March, but this year it struck early. Like the last week of January early. I don't know what caused it, but I need a trial separation from winter. Winter I love you, but I think we need to see other seasons. Cue the bright nail polish colors. <br />

I've had this color for a while, but never really knew what to do with it. I'm not really an orange person. On night I NEEDED something bright and after a mega fail with Orly's Glowstick I wanted something that was opaque in fewer that five coats. That brought me to this beauty, a neon orange with tiny holographic glitter, and pink shimmer. I think, YES!<br /><br />

I haven't been into a Rue 21 for a while but the last time I was there neon polishes were everywhere. This color was taunting me on every flat surface, there was no way I was leaving the store without it. So after months of sitting in my collection collecting dust I gave it a shot. And I love it. I loved it so much a photo of it made it's way onto my instagram. My user name is @lynbdesigns if you're wondering.<br /><br />

On a slightly different note, I've found m watermark again. It had gotten lost in the chaos that was my photo folder. Now that it's back, I feel more like a blogger. I know, it's weird.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back to the polish, I used just two coats of this to get full coverage. That's a rarity for me. I then wore it for three days, and was nervous to take it off. I thought for sure there would be staining. Happily, there wasn't staining. Just nice normal colored nails. Yay!<br /><br />

Overall, this color might convert me to an orange lover. I love the colon in general, but it's tricky for me to pull off on my nails. I've been told by several people that I look good wearing darker orange colors of clothing, but I on't really see it. One thing I know for sure is that neons will be bug for me this spring, even if the rest of the world has moved on.</div>

You have no idea how much I LOVE this polish. I just knew that it needed to be mine as soon as I saw swatches online. It's a shimmery slightly colorshifty golden base loaded with both gold and light pink hex shaped glitters. <br />

I paired it with a nice nudey creme base and just let it do it's magic. I couldn't stop staring at my nails when I had them painted with this. It's even inspired me to create a rose themed polish for an upcoming collection. </div>

I did two coats over my aforementioned nude creme color. You might be able to reach full coverage with this polish if you really work at it. I know at two coats it was still quite sheer in spots, but I think it would look amazing on it's own.<br />

Since I went on such a journey to find this color I'm not sure of it's availability. First I looked online at Ulta and even on Ebay with no avail. I finally wound up going to three different Walmart stores before I found it. If you can find this color I HIGHLY suggest picking one or maybe two up.LynBDesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01517096114290595102noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403944972523041743.post-10982746142599009762014-02-05T06:04:00.000-05:002014-02-05T07:37:59.863-05:00Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Sebastian*Purchased with my own money<br />
<br />
When this color came out a few months ago I fell in love. I saw the swatches in a YouTube video and knew immediately that I had to have it. My plan had been to get it while I was in Chicago on one of my many shopping trips. Guess what didn't happen while I was in Chicago? Shopping, that's what. I went to Whole Foods twice and fell in love with their pizza, but I didn't get a chance to go to Sephora. So, when I got back from Chicago I placed a massive Sephora order, and finally got my hands on Sebastian.<br />

I've wanted to try an OCC lip tar for ages, but they all seem too intense. I'm a natural lip kind of girl, and then I found their nail polishes. It was an aha moment for sure. Sebastian is an interesting kind of tannish nude with a hint of silver shimmer. It actually has a matching lip tar, and while I love natural lip colors, Sebastian is a bit grey for my liking. I can just see it now, showing up at work with grey lips. My boss would laugh so hard.<br />

If you can see my pinkie, it had a smudge. I didn't even know it was there until I edited the photos for this post. So please excuse the smudge. I did three coats, and even at that I could see a touch of nail line. The polish was a bit thin, but very workable.<br />

Since I took a break from blogging I was afraid that they had discontinued this color while I was away. I'm happy to report you can get every color from the Moderncraft collection. I really wish I were bold enough to pull off some of those lip tars. Black Metal Dahlia has bad me drooling since I saw it as well.<br />

You can find OCC at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/obsessive-compulsive-cosmetics" target="_blank">Sephora </a>and on the <a href="http://occmakeup.com/" target="_blank">OCC </a>website. Let me know what you think about the brand. I'm loving some of their spring nail colors, but can't wrap my head around the bright blue lips.<br />

On another note, I've been thinking about re launching my YouTube channel. For those of you who don't know, I used to make videos about 3 years ago. A lot has changed since then, but my love for makeup and DIY has only gotten more intense. I'm tempted to start with my nail polish favorites since I have a bit of experience in that area. Let me know what you think. Should I make videos again, or just stick to blogging?<br />

<br />
Who's up for some hard to find, but easy to use caviar nail polish? I know I am! Okay, not really, but on with the show.<br />
<br />
I was a bit dubious of this when I got it in my Birch Box last month. I like the color well enough, but that caviar. Ugh. I decided that I wanted to try new textures with my polishes this year and gave it a go. These are my results.<br />
<br />

So a word about the color, it's a great green called Neptune Green. I was afraid it would stain, so I used a couple base coats and took it off as soon as I was done swatching. I didn't want to take any chances. I get a bit paranoid about nail staining.<br />

I have to admit, they did a great job of pairing colors for this. I love the pink and teal beads for the caviar effect. It's easy to do, you just stick your wet nail in the little pot of beads provided. After you've done that you press the beads into your nail and you can even top it with a top coat. I'll admit, I failed to read the instructions, so I didn't press the beads into the polish. Even though I had a total directions fail, I knew I didn't like the beads.<br />

I wish there were a way to get the look of caviar nails without the caviar aspect. I love the mottled tiny dots look of my accent nail, but I can't stand the texture. I'm getting better I can wear a liquid sand or pixie dust type polish like nobody's business, but after five minutes I was picking these beads off my nail.<br />

I tried to find more information about Nail Rock, but everywhere I looked I came up dry. Their website wouldn't load and nothing was working. That made me a little upset. If you're going to put a product into a sample box like Birch Box, it would be nice if there were accurate information given. I don't think that's asking too much. That being said, it could just be my internet connection, Lord knows it's not the best. </div>
<div>

<div>
Here's what I've found about this product. You can find it on the <a href="http://www.birchbox.com/shop/nail-rock-990" target="_blank">Birch Box website</a>, and you can try your hand at loading their <a href="http://www.rockbeautylondon.com/shop/" target="_blank">website</a>.<br />

<br />
It seems likes eons ago that I got the request for this post, but in reality it was only two weeks. When I came up with this idea I had wanted to get polish racks to hang on my walls, but I figured out that I needed seven to hold the majority of my collection and I just couldn't handle that cost. In fact, I still can't handle that cost and I don't have that much wall space. My solution was to use what I had and buy a cheap bookshelf from Walmart. The total cost of my project was 16 dollars plus gas. <br />
<br />
Here's a general overview of my bookshelf situation:<br />

Top shelf: Indies separated into swatched on the left and unswatched on the right. I know it's really technical.<div>
Second Shelf: Mainstream polishes that are more expensive. OPI, China Glaze, Essie, butter London, and some others that I can't remember.</div>
<div>
Third Shelf: These are all my store's prototypes and retired colors. I had the photo boxes already and just put my polishes in there. </div>
<div>
Bottom Shelf: Books, these are overflow from my three other bookshelves in my room. I love books as much as I love my polish.</div>

As you can see, the bookshelf isn't really made to hold the weight of all of the polishes. When I got my bookshelf I wanted a way to store more polishes on each shelf and still have them be seen. My solution small flat rate boxes. I've used a mixture of recycled ones and new ones, and the best part is, they're free and easily re used for their original purpose. For the first tier I taped them together with the short sides facing out. For the second tier I taped them with the long edge facing out. It created the perfect steps for my display and let me store a bunch more polish.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

On my top shelf I used shelf gripper to hold the polishes in place as my Oscar likes to hop up on shelf and into the window above. He still knocks them over and when he knocks a bunch over I take it as a sign that I need to reorganize. As you can see, these are my indies. They're not sorted more than into swatched and unswatched, and as I look at the photo I can see a couple that Oscar must have knocked over and they got put back by someone who didn't know they were already swatched. Such is life.<div>

For my last photo I have my most conventional storage option. My Rite Aid was upgrading to a new Sinful Colors display and gave me this one. It helped that I went to school with the manager's son. This is reserved to my cheap polishes and ones that I don't have a lot of. The entire top shelf is Sinful Colors. I can't help it, they're cheap, but really nice quality. As you can see, I have room to grow. Yay for that!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, that's how I store my polishes. If you see any you'd like me to blog about let me know. The wall color is Embellished Blue by Behr, just in case you were wondering.<br /><div>

I'm going to make an effort to get back into blogging mode. I've had a nice break, but honestly, I've missed this. It gave me a place to write about something I love and not bore my family with all of my nail polish talk. They're still pretty bored by it, but this does help.</div>

Today, I have two polishes from Mentality Polish. What I love about them as a brand is that they make really great colors that are affordable and still unique. First off I have Tempest, which is a gorgeous deep red/burgundy color.</div>

Tempest was opaque in two easy coats and was a dream to wear. I'm not usually a matte polish fan, but this was great. It wasn't too matte, and could easily be changed with a top coat.<br /><br />I also have Virginia, a light blue frosty shade that has hints of green. <br /><br />

I added topcoat to this one as well, but wasn't as impressed with the appearance.<br /><br />

Virginia gave me a little trouble. It was a bit thick, and didn't dry properly. I've never had this issue with Mentality before, so I'm pretty sure it was just fluke. I was able to get full opacity in just two coats, and a nice shine with topcoat. It just doesn't photograph as well, as Tempest.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, these polishes were a dream to work with and I can't wait to try more from their brand. You can fine them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MentalityPolish" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and at their <a href="http://www.mentalitynailpolish.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Big Cartel</a> Store.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I bought these with my own money and all opinions are my own.</div>

It's just been life craziness and sales craziness and now Christmas. But enough about that, onto the polish.<br />
<br />
This is my second review of Anne Kathleen polishes and I'm so pleased with this colors. They're the perfect sparkly Holiday colors that a girl needs. To start with I have Nieva which is a gorgeous iridescent glitter topper.<br />

I used one coat over a red jelly polish and I loved the effect. The glitters in here shimmer with greens, blue, purples, golds, and even pink. The formula was a bit thick and gooey, but that's what you get with any all iridescent polish. I think this is the perfect snow globe on the nails look. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Aurora is next and looks like perfect freshly fallen snow, and I love it. It's a shimmer white base with tons of small iridescent glitters.<br /><br />

I used three coats of this to get full coverage and then I added a coat of Nieva on the ring finger for a bit more sparkle. How can you not want more sparkle? The formula on this was a bit thick as well, but it was definitely manageable. </div>

Overall, these were great polishes to work with and you would not believe how smooth these dried. They're like glass they're so smooth. If you're interested in Ann Kathleen polishes check out the links below.</div>
