So this is what I have acquired in the last couple of weeks Its not alot which is good because as you all know I am out of control. I just completed 3 swaps so I am awaiting alot of Nail mail as well as my 1st Nfu ohs, NYX girls, Barielle's and some Kleancolors. The polish I got this week were all very cheap because I went Dusty hunting I managed to find brand new polish as well as used polishes in Nail salons in Boston. First I'm gonna show you some nail stuff I found at Forever 21.
Love & Beauty glitter polishes
Designed false nails
I found the rest of these is different salons all brand new! Some of these polish go for an arm and a leg on ebay so it was a big score for me!
OPI What's Dune?
OPI Shim-merry chic
OPI Midnight blue glitter
China Glaze Gr8
China Glaze LOL
OPI Turquoise shatter
OPI red shatter
OPI Blue shatter
The next two are used and I got them for $1.50 each because they are used and needed thinner. The OPI one is a mystery polish I love the color I looked for the label and it wasn't there. I posted pictures of it on facebook to help figure out what it could be all the ladies were really helpful and they all said it could be OPI blue moon lagoon because it is holo but not as strong and it could also be OPI Go on green. I love the color and I'm just gonna call it Mystery lol..
OPI Mystery salon polish
China Glaze 2nite
Can you believe that's all I got in this whole time ! I was shocked! Have you ladies ever gone Dusty hunting? Do you know what Dusty Hunting is?

Morning! Okay, I have come to the conclusion that it is all MUA's fault that I can't seem to stop buying polishes :) A few weeks ago, a sweet lady, Diava, posted some pics of some
A-England polishes, that I just HAD to have, you know, like every other polish, lol. So I got them both, Lady of the Lake, which is the one I'm showing you today, and Tristam, which is also a holo, but a dark blue one!! I don't have any top coat on in these pics, because I was just swatching, and playing one of my new Mash plates. I'll take real actual swatches of them both this weekend :)
Here is where I purchased mine :) I also want to swatch these in the day with sun, so you can all see it's true holo-ness.
Okay, well here is 2 coats of Lady of the Lake
Then I used the M60 Mash plate

and using Love & Beauty Silver, I did the dots design. Now here is what drives me crazy....the design is CROOKED! I can't stand that, and had this been a full mani, I would have had to start all over, lol. This is why I rarely do the designs that have to be placed in the center, or lined up, because I suck, lol
Just some pretty bottle pics, I love them!

My leopard polishes arrived from Forever 21, and I am so pleased!! The pics looked as though only 1 had some shimmer, but they all do!! The bottles are just way too cute!! These are all 3 coats. I really wish they would actually NAME their polishes, lol.
Light Green
Light Aqua - My fave of them all!!!! You can actually see the shimmer
Pink
Peach Bud
This one is my least fave from them all, but it's still pretty, I guess I'm just not a big orange girl. I know the name says peach, but I see orange, lol

While on one of my trips to Rite Aid, I saw that they had a new tiny Essie display. Now, I'm not the biggest Essie fan. I'm not sure why, but I think that the $8 a bottle for not so unique colors is why. I can't even tell you guys my reasoning for grabbing this one, because it is in no way unique IMO, but I did, lol. It is a great pink though, and the application was great too. This is 2 coats of Essie French Affiar. Then for the tips I used Love & Beauty Grey.

YAY, Black Shatter is finally here!! I was soooo excited when it arrived!! I wanted to try 2 different manis, so I decided to layer it over a sparkly gold & then a flakie.
Here is the first one I tried....I did a base of Orly Luxe and then a coat of China Glaze Medallion, which FYI is my fave sparkly gold glitter! Black Shatter needs to be used over a 100% dry mani, and used VERY quickly. I actually prefer the smaller cracked looked, like in my previous post, but this is still nice.
Then I wanted to try it over a flakie, so I used a base of Love & Beauty, from Forever 21, and then added Nfu-Oh 50 over top.
1 word.......BEAUTIFUL!!
Now here it is with Black Shatter over top

This was a mani that I did, just sort of playing around, lol, but I loved how it turned out. I started with my Sinful's Black on Black, and then added Sinful's All About You. Its an awesome gold, orange, rust colored glitter.
Then, cause I can never leave anything alone, I wanted to add some red to this, just to make it a tad more festive. I had this polish I ordered from Forever 21, and loved it, but it was just to sheer. Well, it was perfect for what I visioned. I love how it was sheer enough to let All About You still show through!
