Spoiled Jewelry Heist &
Baby I Excuse Me

Hi everyone!  I'm sorry I haven't been able to post lately.  I've had some health problems recently.  :/  I'll write about it after the jump.  This pretty combination was my NOTD before I got sick.  I really loved it!

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia
& Revlon Starry Pink

Facets of Fuchsia - don't forget to click the pics for extra glittery detail!  ;D

Facets of Fuchsia and a better view of my envelope clutch.  :D

Facets of Fuchsia, 3 coats

Facets of Fuchsia is a mix of very fine & medium vibrant fuchsia hexagon glitters in a black jelly base.  The black jelly base is pigmented enough to achieve complete opacity at 3 coats while still allowing glitter from the initial coats to show through which creates nice depth.  I prefer this look to layering over black but it can be worn that way too.  The glitter distributed itself nicely and dried quite smooth for a polish with so much glitter in it. Nice surprise!


I ended up liking Facets of Fuchsia a lot more than I thought I would after I got it on my nails, but then most dark polishes look good on me because I'm so pale.  The opposite might happen in the photos of Starry Pink.  I hope it doesn't look too bad on me but I'm worried it's giving me zombie hand so I'm putting the photos of Starry Pink after the jump!

Lynnderella Her Holo, Holo Heart

1 coat Lynnderella Her Holo, Holo Heart over 3 coats Sally Hansen Delphinium

I wore this polish combination to my brother's wedding this past weekend.  This photo shows the wedding favor - a clear glass test tube filled with white rock candy. My brother is a chemist so it was both appropriate and yummy.

Back to the polish...

Fine silver holographic hexgon glitter pairs with silver holographic shards in random shapes and sizes to create Her Holo, Holo Heart.  Colors flare through a lacy silver maze of twinkling fine holographic particles and irregular holographic shards.  It's breathtaking.  Also - the formula is perfect.  I expected a tiny bit of fussing but I simply applied 1 coat to my nails and got a perfect result.  No fussing, no picking at pieces for placement, no edges poking up.  Awesome.

Wet 'n Wild Sea Witch

It's official.  Sea Witch is my number one favorite dark purple shimmer.

It's so dark and vampy yet it screams I AM PURPLE!!!
This is 3 coats of Sea Witch.

The base is a rich red violet while the shimmer is a strong blue violet which leads to this crazy glowing vampy goodness.  There is no mistaking this for black.  Ever. This is the brightest dark purple I've ever seen.  This is perfection.  I am in love.

I would also like to declare that the hottest makeup combination ever is:  vibrant purple nail polish with bright red lipstick.  I wore Revlon Strawberry Suede with these nails and it was love.
