Fashion Bug Silver

Happy Labor day to all of my US readers!

I was in Fashion Bug (don't judge!) awhile ago and noticed they had nail polish at the register.  Well, OBVIOUSLY I had to get a couple.  The selection of colors wasn't that great.  I want to say they had about 10 or so different colors?  Nothing really struck me as anything unique, but I still wanted to check them out.  I picked up this one that I'm about to show you and a blue shimmer that I haven't swatched yet.

Fashion Bug Silver can best be described as the darker, more pewter-like cousin of Orly Shine.  The foil look of it is identical.  I think it's a really gorgeous color, quite honestly.

It was pretty well pigmented, with great, 3-coat coverage.  I can't attest to the wear, as I didn't have it on long enough to tell. 

Have a great last "unofficial" day of summer everyone!

Orly Shine

Orly Shine was another one of my Ulta purchases last month.  Our local Sally's didn't have it, so I was thrilled to find it.  Shine was released as part of Foil FX collection this past spring. 

Orly marketed this collection to be "minx-like".  I could see them passing for that from a distance.  Up close you would be able to see the metallic particles that make these a foil.  Shine is obviously a silver foil...VERY shiny.  Probably one of the shiniest silver's I own.  Unfortunately it's another polish that my camera doesn't like.  I edited the hell out of these.  My hands were orange and the camera had a hard time focusing, probably because of the shimmer...I don't know.  I could just suck at taking pictures too.

I used 4 coats to get even coverage.  It was a bit patchy before that.  I haven't tried the others from this collection yet, do I don't know it that's a common thing with them.  I also have the other two polishes from this collection, Rage and Luxe.  I'll swatch them soon hopefully so that I can complete it on here.

See you soon!

Ulta Chic Peek

When I was in NY visiting family last month I visited my very first Ulta store!  It was so wonderful...lol  There were about 20 polishes in there that I wanted to buy as well as other cosmetics, but I limited myself because I'm sure the hubby wouldn't have appreciated me spending $100 on cosmetics.  When his cousin found out I was going there, she texted me and said "You + Ulta = lots of nail polish!"  How true...lol

The Ulta polishes were on sale when I was there, so I picked up a few.  I LOVE this one. 

Chic Peek is a brown base with lots of tiny silver shimmer.  It was hard to get a good pic because for some reason my camera would pick up the brown and turn my hands orange.  I've been having that problem a lot lately with the camera...I may have to think about getting a new one.  hmmm...  (or someone needs to tell me what I'm doing wrong...lol)

I used 3 coats.  It had such a great, even coverage that if I used slightly thicker coats I could probably have gotten away with 2 coats.

Thanks for visiting!

OPI DS Perfection

Ah...Friday....The last day of the fair is tomorrow.  It's been fun, but man, am I tired!!!  :)

Can we talk about how friggin' cool this polish is????  I didn't want to take it off when I was wearing it.  I LOVE the Designer Series polishes.  It is my secret (I guess not so secret anymore) wish to own all of them.  I'm thinking I missed out on some of them, because there have been discontinuations and such, but I'll do my best to find them all.  This isn't the only one I have by any means, I'm just not sure which ones I have right now.  hehe

*sigh*  I love it.  This is 4 coats...it's a little sheer at first.  It's dark pink with a foil/glitter finish.  It's a little duochrome too, look at the bottle and you can see the reddish/orangish color too.  In real life you can see it on your nails too.

I seriously couldn't stop looking at my nails when this was on them.  It's just so cool!!!  What do you think?

Have a great weekend!
