New Haul from Walgreens!!! Yay

**warning this post is picture heavy**

YAY last night i visited Walgreens and..... NEW HAUL!!
previously my go to store for nail polish had been CVS (blah) but i had always been curious if Walgreens had any other brands..turns out...they DID!!!! they had sinful colors!!
I also did some holiday shopping at evilbay....
can't wait for that nail mail to arrive ;)

It turns out the most of the SC polishes I purchased are from the 2009 fall collection
all of them were great deals for only 1.99 (0.0)

anyway...here is the first glitter
a very holiday-y glitter

here is Sinful Colors "Call You Later" a clear based green glitter with small flecks of both green AND gold plus larger green hexagons

"finally a holiday glitter"

1 coat

2 coats

3 coats

notice how awesome unique different this polish looks in the shade

and finally=

bamm!!!!

lol it goes off the page (sorry bout that ;)

this polish.......
lacks words it is so awesomely hot and amazing
plus its an amazingly festive color (christmas lights/party/tree/ presents!!!!)

I mean seriously, a green glitter with gold flecks... already I'm hooked

**thank you polish gods for leading me to this polish, I am eternally grateful**

what do you guys think?

N.Y.C. Purple Pizzazz Frost

quick post
today we have N.Y.C. (new york color) "Purple Pizzazz Frost"
opaque in 2 coats but here is 3

this polish has its dark blue moments and its purple moments (as shown above)

i guess it is kinda frosty

I actually don't really like it.... its a little boring and not a complementary purple tone for my skin

-Katy <3

the perfect jade

this polish is unlike any of my other polishes

its called Jenson Jade Beach and by a brand called nail polish

i doubt i paid more than $5 for this but i can't be sure...

Jenson Jade Beach is a sheer shimmer jade

usually very subtle, except when its brilliant sparkle gets caught in the sun

3 coats

(please ignore the weird bump on my pinkie....it brushed on in the polish) 

(O.O)

pretty.......

Marine Scene

hi all
sorry this post came a little late
here we have 3 coats of Sally Hansen hard as nails extreme wear "Marine Scene"
it was pretty opaque with 2 but...3 is what i did
its on the sheer side yet slightly gloopy
hopefully you can see the shimmer strands !!!!

here I actually did one coat of Lime Lights over Marine Scene

doesn't make much of a difference except for giving it a greenish tint

after that i did some nail art 

as i type, my computer has 3% battery left

thanks for watching!!!

Katy

Lime lights over black :)

after a very tiring and busy week and a half......

Im back!!

i had so much fun this morning swatching and taking pics!!!

i have some great polishes lines up

starting with......."Lime Lights", a Sally Hansen; hard as nails: Xtreme Wear 

lol thats a long name

very sorry but i did this last night and the lighting is a bit off

and the whole thing is a bit messy anyway.....

2 coats black (aka Professional Nail Lacquer's "Little Black Dress)

 here on the thumb is 3 coats of  lime lights

then, out course, 1 coat of lime lights over black

here it is the next day ;)

here you can see its blue-ish qualities

Lime Light is a sheer green/blue/turquoise shimmer

by itself, it has  a pearly finish ver similar to its sister "Marine Scene" (which i'll show you tomorrow)

I'm sure that if i took the time to do the 6 coats it would need to be opaque, it would be very pretty

but layering is nicer for me ;)

you know when a color is either turquoise or dark green? well this mani flashes in between

it also has a ocean-y feel

i think you have to be in the right mood to wear this combo.....

before, i have tried this over purple for a very nice affect and a more easily wearable color

thanks for watching!

-Katy <3

I'm playing catch up ;)

here are the manis that I've done but haunt loaded

this is 3 coats of boundless color "bronze beauty"

reminds me of wet sand :P

here is a cool mani i did...

it has different metal-like colors ( gold silver bronze berry)

slight ombre ness

with a matte finish

over the matte, i did flowers using my dotting tools 

no top coat 

i love how the glossy flowers pop out against the matte

this is 4 coats OPI Alpine Snow 

  i matted my accent finger and added multi colored blue dots :)

no top coat

whats you fave of the three?

what do you guys think?????

should i do more catch-up pages ? or do you prefer a specific post?

i love comments ;)

hey everyone

**im soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(x1000) excited!!!
my bestie lucy decided to do a guest post here!!!
she currently doesn't have a blog but I'm hopping she'l make one soon
enjoy!**

HI GUYS  IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!  it is really awesome to be on katy's super blog.YAYAY.

 Here we have an OPI, big hair big nails. It has a kind of jelly finish and it is part of the Texas collection. 

 Then, I added white flowers that complement the color, making it a very tropical effect. I used katy's wonderful supply of dotting tools and her nail art pens for the center of the flowers.

Hope you Like!!!!!! 


** wonderful job Lucy!!! I think we all agree that she is supremely talented ;) 
hopefully we can do more guest posts in the future!

the green grasshopper hops gaily in the grass

like the title? i do ;) yesterday someone said this color reminded them of a grasshopper
not sure if i agree, but its a fun way to think about it :P

 today i have a Revlon scented polish, "Beach"
this polish does not remind me at all of the beach
and I've been to the beach a whole lot
here are the pics :

4 coats "beach"

one coat SV

Beach is a green-yellow with minimini sparkles that light up in the sun

unfortunately there isn't a sun in the sky at the moment :(

application was would have been perfect, in not for the SHEERNESS

as i said this is around 4-5 coats

unto the smell.....

it does smell slightly beach-ish but a little too on the sickly sweet side for me

then......

i did a konad on my nails and kinda epically failed

for that i used a special konad polish that appeared royal blue but on the nail you can it looks turquoise 

after that i decided to spice it up even more and add some random nail art

i don't know about you, but this deffinelty reminds me of a green grasshopper hopping gaily through the grass ( without the grasshopper hopping part) lol

happy thanksgiving ( in advance)!!!
