Hello!
What is wrong with me - do I really need more polish? NO. But I saw the shiny things - and they ended up coming home with me. ;)
So first I was at Walmart to get Chobani (Key Lime flavor-love) - and of course I had to see what was going on in the cosmetics department...
First I saw some nail foil kits - I think they were $5.49 they are not available on the website only in the store. I really like the idea of a foil manicure, but the only other place I've seen the supplies is Amazon and the Born Pretty Store. So it's nice to see it for real, before I order something. I also found a lovely shade of blue polish that I think will look fab with the silver foil. It's "Blue Me away!" by Sally Hansen Xtreme wear.
I also found nail bling!
The kit on the left has a fuchsia polish, fuchsia powder (to do a "velvet" manicure) nail glue and fun rhinestone bits. I also got the Embellish me! set from Fingers ($3.48) with 12 different designs of mini rhinestones.
Then I went to Sally's Beauty Supply...and I found a few polishes.
OPI "Push and Shove"(Gwen Stefani Collection) which you need to use with the Lay down the Base little mini next to it. Orly FX in "Be Brave", OPI "4 in the Morning" (Gwen Stefani Collection) and Orly "Cheeky". All of them except "Cheeky" I got on Clearance for $4.99. Score!
Here they are swatched. "Push and Shove" is amazingly chrome, it's a "specialty" polish that you can't put top coat on and they warn it will only last a day... but it would be worth it. In the picture it just looks metallic but it is the most realistic "metal" polish I have ever seen. The black one is "4 in the morning" and it dries to a matte "leather like" appearance that is pretty cool. I need to do silver foil or studs with this. The Orly FX shreddy glitter is prettier in real life and "Cheeky" has a light sparkle in it.
So do I need all the polishes? No... but hey at least I'm not addicted to crack.

Hello!
Well I acquired some more nail polish this week - I don't know what's wrong with me! I've got the WANT-sies!
What I need to do is film my polish collection video - like Martha from Quick Cheap & Pretty. I think it will shame me into realizing I have every color :) Well, not every color...
So here's what I got:
From the Left - OPI Pirouette My Whistle, OPI Lucerne-Tainly Look Marvelous, Finger Paints - Colorful Collage, ORLY - Sparkling Garbage, Sinful Shine (from Sinful Colors) - Picante, Revlon - Lagoon Afternoon
I got the OPI polishes at Carson Pierre Scott, the Finger Paints & Orly at Sally Beauty Supply, and the last two at Walgreens.
I took a close-up of the OPI Pirouette My Whistle because it's an interesting looking polish and I'm not sure how I'm going to use it - I need to Google some nail pictures to see what others have done because I kind of don't like it!
It's just "blah" right? And that's three coats.
Here's my nail wheel with all the colors swatched - they (of course) look much better in person!
I LOVE the Finger Paints Holo Glitter! And the Sinful Shine is soooooo much better than the usual Sinful Colors. I only used to coats and the color is bright, smooth and shiny! The ORLY Sparkling Garbage I bought after seeing amazing pictures on Beauty Redefined by Pang. She actually captures how pretty it is.
So that's my little haul!
