Days 25 & 26 of untrieds.

OK, So to catch back up I am going to show you two new untrieds, the first is Cosmetic Arts burgundy(it really has no name, this is just the color).  The next is a glitter over top that I just got today! it is NYX Girls Gilded Glitter.

I love anything by Forsythe Cosmetics.  They are the makers of Color Club and Cosmetic Arts.  (also Funky Fingers which can be found at 5below)  This burgundy/garnet is beautiful.  This is 3 coats.

This is NYX Girls Gilded Glitter. It is an AMAZING gold flakie. I got it for only $1, and for that price, I may go back to get more.  It kind of reminds me of the new gold Essie As Gold as it Gets, but I think that Gilded Glitter has more/bigger gold flakie chunks in it. Maybe someone can compare?  I don't normally purchase alot of Essie.

Day 24 - Cosmetic Arts no-name

I know I am a little behind, but it is pretty understandable with the holidays.  Yes, We did wait in line on thursday in order to get 2 laptops, and yes I did witness a few fights.

Anyways on to this polish: This is a Cosmetic Arts polish that I picked up at Ross, It doesn't have a name, and at first I thought It may be a dupe to my much loved Warhol (because they are made by the same company as Color Club).  too bad it wasn't, but it still was very pretty.

You can see here how they compare.  Warhol is much more pink, whereas the CA is a tad more orange.

Day 22- OPI DS Reserve

Sooo I am running a little late with these posts, which is understandable because of the holidays.  :P

Today I have OPI DS Reserve for you.  yes, take in this beauty.  It is a very dusty pink with subtle hologrpahic shimmer.

on to the swatches!  I believe that the first picture is the most color accurate, the second and third show the holographic glitter.

Day 20 of Untrieds - CG Haunting

Day 20 of my untrieds is Haunting by China Glaze from the Halloween 2011 collection.  It is in my untrieds because I got in on clearance right after halloween at sallys for $2!  I absolutely love this color.  It is shown in 2 coats  with no top coat.  Yes the glitter is chunky to the touch, but I don't really mind it. I have read from ladies on PolishAholics Anonymous that Gelous from Sallys works well on top of "hungry" glitter, I have yet to try it.

the first pic is fine, the last 3 I have lobster hands, but they captured the glitter very well in the photo.

do you have this polish? What do you think?

day 19 - Glitz Gal

For todays untried I chose Sally Hansen Glitz Gal from the Gem Crush collection.  I put this mani over Jitterbug from yesterday, and I think that I was able to get away with one coat of this glitter, because the base was basically the same color!

I was actually surprised when I opened it up to find a fat brush like this, and as you can see mine was kind of wonky. it was shaped weird, but maybe that is just my brush.

anyway I hope you all are having a good day!

Day 17 - SH Diamond

For todays untried I have Sally Hansen Nail Prisms in Diamond.  It came in the pack with Ruby Diamond.  This one was the non-holographic version, and I think that my pictures do it more justice than it deserves, because it does not look this holographic to me unless it is in direct sunlight.

This is one layer of Diamond over Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris.

And I like to do nail art on my manis so I decided to do a zebra print with my black striper! I think that it is an easy to get cool designs.

Day 16: NYX Girls Frizz Spots

I am so proud of myself for keeping up with this every day!  we are a little over halfway through this 30 days challenge and I am loving all of my fellow bloggers posts! be sure to check them out at the bottom of this post!

Today I have an amazing polish for you guys that  I got for $1 at a local beauty supply.  It was totally worth it because it is FABULOUS.  It is NYX Girls Frizz Spots.  It is a black jelly base with holographic normal sized glitter and holographic hex glitter.  Just look at its amazingness in the bottle!

I was so excited to try this one on!  I layered it over black, because I find that most jelly glitters do not have an opaque enough base for my liking. This is one coat of NYX Girls over one coat of  Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris.  This beauty layered over black just makes me happy.  take a look for yourselves...

I am very pleased with this glitter.  Now for the removal... that is the worst!  I found a new method of removing glitter so we shall see if it works and I will definitely let you know how it works out!

Day 15: Trendsetter + my 50th post!

This is my 50th post on my blog! yay!

So for today's 30 day challenge polish I am wearing China Glaze's Trendsetter.  I still havent decided whether I like it or not... It is a weird color and I'm not sure if it goes with my skintone.  I think it doesn't. This color is very... weird.  This is one of my favorite colors... just not for my nails.

This is 3 coats with no basecoat or top coat.

Here are the pictures.

It is very shiny... but that is about all it does for me. The color reminds me of baby food or something.  This one is going to the back of my stash... maybe It would look good as an accent color or something...

What do you think of this color?
