Orly Sparkling Grabage ❤❤

Hello my loves
Hope you are all enjoying your day. The munchkins and I have been inside all day waiting for the cable guy to come and install our new modems. I always feel very weird about having a stranger in my house when I am alone. I think I read the newspaper too much because I get creeped out over  too many things now a days!! Do any of you get like that or am I crazy?

Anyways today I wanted to share a goodie with you all from Orly. This came out last year and I almost missed it because I went through a short stage of I am never going to wear greenish nail polish because it will clash with my clothes. I got over that really quick and was able to pick this beauty up at Marshalls when Orly was getting rid of all of their old bottles....



How stunning is this color? Seriously I just love the shade of teal this is with all the gorgeous holographic glitters! I guarantee you that you do not have a nail polish exactly like this already. This is a jellyish polish and you can see under your nail. You could use a  blue or white as a basecoat but I kind of like this finish! What I like the most about this polish is how long it lasted! Almost an entire week without minimal chips and trust me as a mother to young children that just does not happen! Overall this is a must have!

                                                                                 10/10
                                             Would I Repurchase? Yes and you should too!
                                                                  Price: 6.95 on Amazon

Revlon Parfumerie African Tea Rose

Hello Lovely's ❤❤
How are you all doing? Good I hope. I can't believe we had more snow this weekend...I am over it! I need summer now please! Since I have been dreaming of summer I have been choosing summer nail polish colors to get me in the mood!

A few months Revlon sent me a Revlon Parfumerie nail polish through the Revlon Selects program. The color they sent me is African Tea Rose. At first glance this looks like a regular bright Barbie pink. When you take a closer look this has a gorgeous purple glow through it.
When I painted my nails I was happy to see that this subtle purple sheen transferred to your nails. It just adds this lovely glow to your nails!
 The Parfumerie collection is all scented nail polishes that are supposed to smell like their names. I like the normal Revlon scented nail polish line so it is no surprise that I love this line as well. The formula on this is AMAZING! It dries very fast and even with absolutely no streaking. I wish all nail polishes had formulas like this. This smells very strong of roses just like the name says. The scent lasts about two days, it starts of very strong and slowly fades off. Definitely a must have!


                                                                              9/10
                                                              Would I purchase? Yes!
                                                      Price: $6-8 @ Wal-Mart or any drugstore

                Have you tried any of the Revlon Parfumerie?

Essence Stay With Me Lipgloss in Candy Bar

Hey Beauties ❤❤
Hope you all are doing lovely. This week has been a tad crazy as Austyn made her arrival last Tuesday :) I will be doing a post on her later this week! Today I wanted to share a lipgloss from a brand that I have yet to be disappointed by; Essence! I have loved every product I have got from them so far and this is no exception.

                                                  Essence Stay With me Lipgloss
                                                09 Candy Bar

Candy Bar is a bright red with a tinge of pink. It is a red that is very easy to pull off without looking too done up. The consistency of these is not too sticky and not too opaque. It is the perfect inbetween of both! I love how long these lasts and they how they do not dry out your lips!
 
                                                                                 8/10
                                                                  Would I repurchase? Yes!
                                                        Price: 2.99 Found at Shoppers in Canada or Ulta in the US
                         What is your favorite Essence product?

China Glaze Trendsetter

Hey Beauties ❤❤
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend and got to enjoy some Christmas festivities! Now that it is December every spare moment is going to be spent doing all the fun and not so fun stuff that comes along with Christmas. Tis' the season right?

 
So today I wanted to share this lovely gem I managed to scoop up at a flea market! Now usually I would not buy nail polish from a flea market because I have gotten knock offs before. But I feel like I kind of know how to tell if it is fake or not so I decided to go for it and picked up a couple colors of China Glaze. Trendsetter was the first color I chose because it stood out to me so much. It is what one would call a ugly pretty color (if that makes sense lol!) As my boyfriend calls it "baby puke".


What I absolutely love about this polish is the gorgeous shimmer. That is definitely what ties in the pretty to the ugly. I absolutely adore this polish. The formula is a breeze to work with. It dries in amazing time with no streaking or bubbling. Just perfection in a bottle!!

Orly Red Carpet

Hey Dolls ❤❤
Can you believe this is my very first Orly Nail Polish? For some reason I have always kind of skipped over them when shopping in Sally Beauty Supply. I recently have seen them showing up at Marshall 's so I thought I would give them a try. I chose this color and one other that I will share swatches of when I get around to wearing it!

                                                                  Orly Red Carpet



 
Orly Red Carpet is a nice Tomato red jam packed with iridescent micro glitters.
The formula is very unique. Not quiet cream not full on jelly. I would not say it is a crelly though. I guess it is in a category of its own! Because of the formula if you have longer nails and say you get something under your nail, you are going to be able to see it through your nail. So I would recommend using a nude colored polish as a base coat. You also have to be very careful when removing because this stains your fingers like CRAZY!! But that is pretty typical of red nail polish. Overall I was very impressed with Orly and can not wait to try more!




                       What Orly Colors do you recommend?

China Glaze Grape Juice

Hey Lovies ❤❤
Happy Long weekend Friday (The best kind!!) I have lots of family over  so I will busy all weekend. Excited!! Anyways I will get on to the Varnish. I picked this up when Sally Beauty Supply was having their 2 for 10 on China Glaze. 


This varnish is a gorgeous deep purple with millions of silver shimmers in it. 
What I love about this color is that when you apply two coats it is a shade lighter then I have swatched but it still fully opaque. But when you add a third coat it is a tad darker. So you can wear it either way.
I do not have a lot of experience with China Glaze so I have not decided what their regular formula is (and then you always get some colors that are miss-formulas within any brand) This varnish had an excellent formula....not to thin not to thick. It dries fairly quickly so no smudging. I have no complaints about this!!
