Sally Beauty Haul

I feel like a bad blogger.  Well actually, having nail polish makes me a good blogger, but I had kinda promised myself after the 40-something bottles I got for Christmas, I'd go on a no buy for a while until most of my untrieds were at 10.  But, in my defense all of the China Glaze were on sale, the Finger Paints were the last they had, and the Claire's Magnetix has the coolest magnet and it's a glittery mauve magnetic polish.

(from L-R: Finger Paints 'Twisted' and 'Asylum', China Glaze 'Dorothy Who?', 'Ruby Pumps', 'Frostbite', 'Blue Year's Eve' and 'Glittering Garland' and the unnamed Claire's mauve Magnetix)

Now, normally I would say that 'Swatches coming soon!' but I still have to post the mini OPIs and still have to swatch all of the drugstore polishes in this haul.  And look at all my unswatches (seen below).  And trust me it's a lot more polish than it looks. But as I type this I have the 6th swatch of the day on my hand :)


I don't know if you guys have any untrieds, but do you?

Essie 'Shine of the Times'

 WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY POST

So 'Shine of the Times' (hehe that name is so funny) is a duochrome flakie layering polish.  It is not holographic.  THIS is holographic.  Duochrome is when from different angles the same polish looks different colors.  And flakies are these little misshapen glitter like things, but they don't 'sparkle'.  And you cant wear a flakie by itself because there clear, but when layered over colors (especialy black) they look really pretty.  This specific flackie flashes from orange to yellow to green and ontop of different colors you see other colors too.  So all the pictures show all the different angles.

Finger Paints 'I'm a Survivor'

I bought this with the rest of my pink nail polish in this haul. It's a really pretty medium pink with light pink flakies (see close up below).  This is two coats.  I actually got this on the little clearance rack at Sally Beauty for $2.  Seriously anytime you go check the clearance rack, because they can have some good deals on nail polish.
