NOTD: Absolutely Alice

I got Absolutely Alice yesterday in the mail along with the rest of the Alice in wonderland collection and I could not wait to see it on my nails. My favorite color is blue and this polish gotta be the most beautiful blue glitter ever. Ive gotten many glitters lately but this beat all of them by far! I tried taking good pics but none of them do it justice its soo much more beautiful in person.

Haul!!

This past week I didn't buy any polishes because I was only gonna buy 2 Lippmann polishes from Nordstrom on Saturday but unfortunately that didn't happen. So instead I took a trip out to Ulta which the whole time that Ulta had been there I had never gone in. Ulta is great they had all brands of polishes in one stop! and I got some great deals I even got a OPI start to finish coat for free for spending $17 of OPI products which is very easy to do. I got all these polishes from Ulta, Walgreens, American Apparel and a lovely eBay seller.

Start to Finish ($12 polish for Free)

I've been wanting the Shrek collection for a while but not sure which ones so I thought I could test theses out to make my selection I knew I had to have Funky Donkey. I got 2 glitters from The Burlesque collection and after buying all of this from Ulta I got the base/top coat for free. I also got 4 polishes from the Alice and wonderland collection which the 2 glitters are extremely hard to find and go for alot. I got lucky and found a lovey eBay seller that was selling all 4 from less then $40 which is a deal because Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice go for at least $45 together.

Prancer (with top coat) x2

Dancer (with top coat)

These's are all from Walgreen they are $0.99-$1.99 each as you see I got more then one of the Black creme and of Prancer, I like to get back ups of good cheap polishes just in case they stop selling them or something happens to my bottles. The black creme gotta be the best black polish ever it covers in one coat! Prancer I'm going to use to make a Franken that will be a dupe of Lippmanns Ruby Red Slippers.

                              American Apparel/Essence

American Apparel Summer Peach

American Apparel Malibu green

American Apparel Butter

Essence High Waist pink

Essence polishes came from Ulta for pretty cheap I was gonna get the whole Denim Wanted collection but I decided on 2 a grey polish which is my 1st and a pretty pink. Sunday I took a trip to Newbury St. in Boston I had to go into American Apparel and get the polishes on my wish list. I had to buy the Butter tester because it was the last one and I had to have it! They had a sale 3 for $15.

Hello Kitty nail polish and stickers

Nicole by OPI Bring on the tinsel

I love mini polish they come in handy when your on the go. This is the 1st time I seen sinful colors in mini bottles they jumped on the band wagon too I see. NYC polish is horrible very watery still kinda like the polish but I'm probably gonna get rid of it as soon as I get a polish of the same color. The Hello kitty polish I got was just for the stickers and the hello kitty figure. Nicole by OPI Bring on the tinsel Ive been searching for this polish for the past 2 weeks and I finally found it when I went to Ulta after reading a blogger say she got it at Ulta. That's all I got in this past weekend I really think I got a serious problem! Running out of space to put all these polishes.

Haul coming soon

I usually do my haul post on Sundays but most of the polishes I acquired this week was during the weekend and I will be getting a package tomorrow of some more polishes. I will be doing my haul post tomorrow there is a lot in this haul, new polishes, old polishes, hard to find polishes, Fraken dupe polish and good cheap polishes that everyone should have in their collection.

NOTD. Rockstar pink tips

This past week has been very busy I barely had time to pay my nails some attention thank god I had a pretty tough nail polish on, Marquee Moon lasted almost as week with minor chips. I wanted to show you the removal it was kinda interesting that I had to take a picture of it.

All the sequins stayed on!

So finally today I got to do my nails, Ive been buying a lot of glitters lately so I wanted to use one in a different way. I decided on using Sally Hansen Extreme Wear Rockstar pink and did only the tips. I used french guides to do this and did 2 thick coats of Rockstar Pink with 2 coats of Seche top coat between each layer.

I really like how this came out I'm gonna start going this more often.

NOTD. Marquee Moon

Marquee is my 2nd Lippmann collection polish I picked this one up at Nordstrom and as you probably know these polishes are very pricey so I had to beg my boyfriend to allow me to get it. I let him pick the polish it was this one or Across the Universe. He picked Marquee Moon because he thought I didn't have a silver polish (which I do but whatever gets me another polish works for me) Ill be back for the other one next week.

Marque Moon has a metallic silver base with large silver sequins that is opaque in 2 coats. The sequins make this polish a little hard to work with but as long you don't go over the same spot right away you should be fine. I didn't know that at first so I was dragging the sequins off my nail. The unique things about this polish is that you will never gets the same amount of sequins on each nail and this was what Deborah Lippmann intended.

(sorry for the bad quality picture I couldn't find my camera)

After applying the polish I decided to make it a little more glittery so I wanted to try out China Glaze Wireless Holographic top coat.

Still wasn't satisfied so I added a little Konad design on my ring finger from

 Image plate M79 with Konad white special polish



Haul

So this week I went a little crazy I got my package from eBay with a whole bunch of polishes on my wish list, some from my local drug stores and finally one lovely from Nordstrom. I separated them by brand this time.

All of theses polishes were under $10 except Marquee Moon I had to beg my boyfriend to allow me to get that one! I absolutely love all of the colors I got except China Glaze Ruby Deer just because I have many similar reds so I might give that one to my girls. That is all for this week I will be getting more Lippmann collection polishes next week I have pre begged for those already. My boyfriend already thinks I have a problem but  after I showed him Babbling Brooke's blog post of her nail polish collection which is 540 deep he no longer will say anything when I buy a nail polish.

NOTD: Roses

I was up very late last night so I decided to do some nail art. Ive been meaning to do some free hand stuff and I remember a post I seen on Emerald Sparkled on roses over a mint polish. I loved the look and wanted to try it out. Ive been working on my free handing and getting better at using my left hand so this is my 1st design after all the practice . Click Here to see Emerald Sparkled post, she also has a tutorial on how to make the roses on her blog.

This is everything thing I used:

Revlon Minted

Elf Fluorescent pink

LA Colors Art Deco Light Pink

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Jumpin' Jade

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Mint Sprint

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Clearly quick

Seche Vite

Base Coat

Dotting tool and Nail Brush

Left Hand

Roses

Right Hand

 Roses

I did my left hand 1st and I started off doing the the light pink with the striper brush and it didn't look so good so I switched to a nail brush. Ive been practicing using my left hand and ironically I am now better with my left then right. Well I hope you like it and give it a try.
