Old Gift Haul

I recorded this like 2 or 3 weeks ago & never got around to taking bottle pics & editing the vid.  My friend Sam cleaned out her stash, and I got the spoils =D  And out of all these colors, I think I already have only 3 of them, so I was very pleased.

First, a few Finger Paints that I picked up on additional 50% off clearance - so they were only a dollar each:

Finger Paints Artist's Sapphire, Gallery Glam, Whose Hue? & Hue Rang?

Now on to my gift haul, starting with the brands that there was only one bottle of:

Rimmel Wishing on a Star, Delux Beauty Star Daisy, Maybelline Denim Dash, Avon Retro Rose, Essie Hot Commodity & Zoya Diem.

4 colors from Elf:

No Label nude & No label pink with silver shimmer, Sunset & Burgundy.

2 Revlons & 3 Sally Hansen from various lines:

Revlon Always Flaunting & Sparkling Cafe; Sally Hansen Sunrise Sunset, Petal Pusher & Emerald City.

3 Finger Paints:

Meet Me at the Met, Tapestry in Taupe & Art Dealer Teal-er.

2 Hard Candy:

Unfortunately their mini-bottles don't have names =(  But still pretty purple & pink.

5 Pure Ice:

Strip Tease, Cheatin, French Kiss, Busted, Risk Taker.

And finally few super-tiny Sally Hansen minis:

These don't have names either.  Stop being lazy polish companies!  Mini-bottles are people ... errr, polish too!  They deserve names!

Finally the Haul vid, me rambling as usual LOL:

I have my more recent haul to get together now that I have this old one out of the way =)  Thanks for reading.

NOTD: Orange Hard Candy + OPI Black Shatter

This orange Hard Candy is from a 4-piece holiday collection, and unfortunately doesn't have a name ... it's very close to another from their normal line (that I don't remember the name of) but they're not exactly dupes.  Still, it's a very lovely orange with gold shimmer:

 

 

Then I added a coat of OPI Black Shatter - reminds me of like cooling lava:

 

 

The only downside to this polish - to the Hard Candy, not the shatter - was the removal:

 

 

Even after some attention with 100% acetone, my nails were ridiculously stained:

 

 

I can't remember ever wearing something that stained this badly.  The patched nails fared better than those without, as you see.  So if you're someone who doesn't always wear polish, like I do, I'd recommend staying away from this particular color, because you're not going to want to run around with naked nails looking like this LOL.

 

Thanks for reading.
