Avon - Beam

Hey guys,

Yup more from the Vault today. You've seen a few of these Mirror Shine polishes by now, and I have a couple more for you in the coming days. I actually forgot how pretty this polish was, I never really wore this when I initially bought it like 100 years ago.

Not much to say here, two coats, careful application due to brush strokes. Your typical foil.

Sally Hansen Swatch Spam

Hey guys,

So I'm going to try to clear out some old back log so that these don't wind up getting buried for too long. So for a couple days bare with me with some old & musty back log posts so I can move on to new stuff! Yay!

This post is comprised of Christmas presents I got at Christmas (see what I mean when I say old and musty??) Each of these was given to me by one of my lovely co workers.

Zoya - Kimber

Hey guys,

We have another Pink Wednesday! Actually I'm running low on my pinks in my back log so no guarantee next Wednesday will be pink but I'm sure you can all live with that.
Today I have a super fun pink Zoya for you! This was from last Summer's Surf collection (I'm only missing one now, I really LOVED this collection). The formula on this was a bit streaky. I can live with 3 coats though considering how gorgeous this is.

May Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So I finally have my May Julep Maven box to show you guys! This was actually the first month that I've seriously considered skipping the colours were mostly stuff I already had and I'm not a big lipstick wearer. In the end curiosity got the best of me and I couldn't say no. I didn't get any add-ons this month though.
This time around I went with the Boho Glam box.

Avon - Romance

Hey guys,

So those of you who know me personally know how much of a planner I am, (which seems kind of weird sometimes) but I LOVE organization (unless you see my room, that doesn't count).
I love spreadsheets, alphabetization, and labels. So in an effort to buy less polish I am making a sincere effort to swatch and WEAR (the wearing is the big part) all my untried which aren't out of control right now, they're sitting somewhere around 20. Normally I would just swatch each polish in a night and called it a day, untried are no longer untried.

Then I run into the problem of having all these polishes that I haven't actually worn, they've only been swatched, which is silly. My other dilemma comes with sitting staring at my pile and trying to decide which polish to wear next, this for me is sometimes a long drawn out decision.

So what did I do? I made a schedule. I mapped out exactly when I was going to wear each polish. I have this in a spreadsheet and in a calander and even in reminders in my phone so I know exactly what comes next.

Extreme? Maybe, but it makes me feel better

That was kinda lengthy sorry. Today I have a random polish gifted to me by my bestie Nicole. It's a frosty mauve from Avon, aside from having to be careful about brushstrokes I had no problems formula wise and the brush on these polishes is fantastic. This was 2 coats.

OPI Skittles

Hey guys,

So we're going to need a bigger boat. Okay I mean helmer. Not that my helmer is FULL, but it's getting to the point of me constantly shuffling polishes around to make everything fit. My OPI is spilling into my CG drawer, my indie drawer is full, my "randoms" drawer is full. Yup. Time for a second. This is so bad. When I got my helmer I was all OMG I have so much room. Well wtf? Do I think polish is like gas and will expand to fit it's container? And I just have to keep buying until it's full? I don't know but long story short is my OCD can't live this way. Looks like a trip to Ikea is in order >.<

Anyways here's just a random fun skittles manicure. I absolutely love the way these polishes fit together. This also reminds me I need to re-swatch Polka.com

For this I used
OPI - Polka.dom
OPI - Casino Royale
OPI - I Saw, U Saw, We Saw, Warsaw
OPI - OPI... Eurso Euro
OPI - Vant To Bite My Neck?

Rainbow Honey - Oni

Hey guys,

So today I have the last of my Rainbow Honey's and yes by this time I am DYING to place another order. I'm trying to be strong though, low-buy and everything. I'm also trying to tell myself I'm saving myself for a big China Glaze haul and the Dollish Polish restock next week. Here's hoping I can be strong.

This is the last polish from The Yokai collection. This could very well be THE perfect fall colour. I really love brown polishes, I find they really like my skintone. This one was no exception. This was 2 coats.
