NOTD: Zoya Faye

I didn't have time to get this up last night, but had just enough time this morning to post.  In some lights it's obviously a pinky mauve with gold glitter, other lights it looked almost bronze - this is Zoya Faye:

 

Thanks for reading =)

Backordered Zoyas

These arrived on Friday - I thought it would take longer so I was pleasantly surprised:

 

 

Loredana, Dannii & Caitlin.

 

The quick vid:

 

 

I have a couple of NOTDs to post later this evening, including a tutorial ... not the Addicted to Color than I intended on, that turned into a big FAIL before I ever got to the point of a full manicure, but I like my temporary substitute =)

 

Thanks for reading.

NOTD: Sally Hasen Sturdy Sapphire

Well, I just practically pulled my hair out before finding the advice to clear cache & cookies to fix the sign in problem.  Talk about heart attack material, WTF do you mean I can't sign into my blog?!  I feel bad for all the people the trick didn't fix the issue for.  And if you don't know what I'm talking about at all, count yourself lucky =)

 

Anyway, it is late so I'll just get right to it.  Sally Hansen Sturdy Sapphire is one of the new Hard as Nails colors I picked up.  It was very sheer, this was 3 coats that I applied perhaps too quickly since it was late, and you can see I got some bubbling ... & I neglected to take indoor shots.  I'll put it down to being tired ... which I'm not exactly remedying being up to post this.  But anyway, it's a very pretty periwinkle-ish blue:

Drugstore Hauls

This is all the result of a failed mission - a search for the yellow Sally Hansen Hard as Nails that they show in the display picture.  I did find the display a few times, and picked up some other colors, but the yellow eluded me.

 

These were from the first Walgreens that I hit:

 

 

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Pumping Iron, Frozen Solid, Sturdy Sapphire, Unbreakable Heart & Hard to Get.  Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Ink Splatter, Fractured Foil & Antiqued Gold.  Sinful Unicorn & Let's Meet.

 

These came from a couple of CVS's:

 

 

Wet n Wild top: Collecting Pollen, Bird Bath & Sunburst.  Bottom:  Ocean Grotto, Waves of Enchantment & Magic Trident.

 

Ulta, I had to stop & pick up a gift card also:

 

 

L'Oreal Pink Shells from the Summer Siren collection.

 

I really don't remember if this batch was a Walgreens or a CVS:

 

 

Revlon Black With Envy, Tangerine, Blue Lagoon & Sunshine Sparkle.  Sally Hansen HD Digital, Three D, Lite, Hi-Def & Cyber.

 

And finally Sallys, because a free bottle of China Glaze is too good to pass up:

 

 

Finger Paints Chrysanthe-Mum's The Word, Outta Sight Orange, Psychedelic Sunshine, Prints & Printsess & China Glaze Reggae to Riches.

 

I decided that it's time for a no-buy ... I don't really think I've enforced one in a very long time, but I've really been buying a lot of polish lately.  Here's the vid:

NOTD: Wet n Wild Gray's Anatomy

The only real downside to Wet n Wild Gray's Anatomy is that it starts out very sheer - I needed 4 coats to get it opaque, but boy was it ever worth it =)  Silver, purple, green, one of the nicest duo-chromes that I've worn in a while:

 

 

Here's a look in motion:

 

 

It's very close to OPI Not Like the Movies, from the Katy Perry collection, but they're not dupes - GA is more purple, and NLtM has some little tiny sparkles in it that as you can see at one coat - NLtM on the left, GA on the right:

 

In this pic, I used 4 coats for both - NLtM is also quite sheer:

 

 

Thanks for reading =)
