Small Haul

A quick stop at Ocean State Job Lots for Halloween decorations turned into a smaller polish haul. I say small but it was 5 polishes. They had a few new Revlon polishes and an older Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear.

Left to right Xtreme Wear Strawberry Icing, Revlon Gray Suede, Tangerine, Devilish, and Sunshine Sparkle.

Ulta “Devious”

Devious is a deep dark purple. Not as dark as China Glaze Crimson. Formula was great. Went on easy and was completely opaque in one coat!!! Love that!! Purple is my favorite color so I loved this one no matter what. Not much else to say about it so, enjoy the pics minus my crappy clean up job. I need a new brush for clean up.

Ulta “Envy”

My first guest nails. Meet my momma! Since I have been into nail polish so much the last few months she has been getting into it to. And I don’t mind helping her one bit! On my recent Ulta trip I picked her up a few polishes as well. The first she tried was Envy. This is a beautiful dark green shimmer. Formula was great. Most of the Ulta polishes that I have tried are nearly opaque in one coat. Only needed a second to cover a few bald spots. Mom did a great job with clean up, a lot better then I have been doing lately. All on her own Mom added a coat of Wet N’ Wild Kaleidoscope, a silver glitter with a few flashes of red, yellow, blue, and green. Looked great with a top coat.

Ulta “Into Astrono-me?”

Into Astrono-me? is a beautiful dark blue crème with a slight blue shimmer. Ulta’s salon formula is great and very easy to apply. Opaque in two coats. I wore this for about 12 hours before it started to come off in full sheets. I think that was due to the fact that I had been cooking all day and using my hands a lot.

Naked Nails

These are my naked nails as of 10/22/2011. Currently not sporting any patches which makes me very happy. Those darn things while helpful are a pain in the rump to apply and maintain properly. The thumb nail on my left hand is growing back out nicely. Although it does need some better shaping. My right hand looks a little bit worse. Notice the hang nail on my pointer finger. My ring finger is getting quite long. I now have growth beyond the tip of my finger tip!

And as a bonus, meet Billy!! This big guy is nearly 9 years old and is one massive kitty. I think the last time he was weighed it was something like 15 lbs. Also he has mitten paws on his front paws.

Nina Ultra Pro “Candi Apple”

This polish was false bottle advertisement. In the bottle it is a beautiful candy apple red with lots of gold glitter mixed through. But when I put it on all the gold glitter disappeared. While the red was pretty, I bought it because of all the lovely glitter I saw.

With that being said, it was a great formula. Went on easy and was opaque in two coats. Could almost have gotten away with one coat. I wore it for 3 days with little tip wear, although on the 3^rd day I was bored and through on some black crackle. Sorry not pics of that, just plain. When it came off I found all the glitter had sunk to the bottom of the nail!

Ulta Haul

So, I discovered that there is an Ulta about an hour from my house. I was so stupid excited to go because I have never been to one before. I was in heaven! And all the people who worked there were wonderful. Even when a bottle of polish broke. Oops! Luckily none got on the floor and it was all contained in the shopping bag. I bought so much, probably too much.
