NOTD: Nubar Essence

I know you guys are used to me posting at night - ridiculously late at night in some cases on the weekends - but I fell asleep last night, and I'm off work today, so I'm squeezing in a quick post before I leave for Grandma's house.  This was my NOTD on Monday, Nubar Essence:

 

Here's a look at pink holo goodness in motion:

 

 

I'll be posting another Halloween NOTD (black & orange flames marble) when I get home, one of my favorite marbles ever!  So stay tuned for that =) 

 

On a slightly random note - do you guys think it's OK to thin out matte topcoat with normal polish thinner?  I'm not sure exactly why I'm wary about it, but one of my bottles of Matte Magic is in a bad way, and I'm just hesitating.  I suppose I'll end up doing it eventually, and seeing either way - since it will be as useless gooey & thick as it would be if the thinner wrecks it LOL.

 

Thanks for reading.

Ulta & Sallys

I needed some retail therapy, so I went to Ulta with my $5.00 coupon, and stumbled upon a nearly-full Limited Edition Sally Hansen display ... not sure if these are part of the fall Tracy Reese collection?  Or just seasonal LE:

 

Left to right:  Golden Ticket, Perfect Match, Problem Child, Sequin Scandal, Fedora; Starry, Starry Flight.\

 

On a side note, last time I was at an Ulta they had Barielle for the first time I ever noticed - a display of the (kind of boring) Argyle Collection.  This time when I was there, I spotted for the first time ever a display of Zoya, though it was almost empty.  Still cheaper to buy online, but kind of nice to see them becoming more widely available.

 

On the way home, I thought I ought to use up my 15% off Sally coupon.  & they had the China Glaze Halloween glitters, which I wanted, plus a Finger Paints "Color of the Month" that I just couldn't resist:

 

 

Left to right:  Ick-A-Body (much oranger than Fortune Teller if you are considering both), Zombie Zest, Mummy May I, & Art of Theft.  Kind of funny MMI looks kind of pink, AoT looks kind of blue - they are both more purple LOL.

 

Thanks for reading.

NOTD: Nubar Night Sparkle

This is kind of a drive-by posting LOL - just so I don't fall any further behind.  This was my NOTD over the past weekend, Nubar Night Sparkle:

 

I didn't love it quite as much as I expected, but it was still gorgeous.  Thanks for reading =)

I See You! All 1000+ of You =)

And each & everyone one of you, seriously, rocks.  And I ... well, I suck right now because I'm like a month behind with comments.  And emails.  And a bunch of other crap.  But not posting ... much.  Just  couple days behind what's currently on my nails LOL.  But I figured it would take totally 2 seconds to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of my Followers =)

 

I will get caught up with comments eventually.  And then be good for a week & then probably fall behind again LOL.  But I always, always read every comment, even if I don't have time to respond right away - and I always, always try to answer every specific question when I do get around to catching up.  And it brightens my day immensely to know that I'm brightening yours, even just a little.  So thank you - all of you! - for reading.
