OPI 'Planks A Lot'

I REALLY like this color it's so pretty (just like the 2. (and this)).  This is a lighter-medium gray-purple jelly.  Well, with all the other colors from this collection they only needed 3 coats.  These needed another couple because if you look at that, it's really awkward covered in bald spots.  So other than the sheer-er formula I really like this color.  And the name is funny, in OPI tradition.

Nails Inc. Magnetic Attractions Polishes Swatches

Yes.  YEES!!!!   When I opened this up on Christmas I FREAKED OUT!  I feel bad for taking this long to swatch it, but I wanted to wear them and not just swatch 'em (mind you they are $15 dollars a bottle and $45 per ounce).

This is just to show that 'Trafalgar Square's cap pops off because it's a magnet cap.

'Trafalgar Square'.  That's a weird name, but for those of you who didn't know all of Nails Inc. Polishes are named after a famous British places (it's a British brand, there all so proud of there foreign-ness like butter LONDON, a-england, no USA Lacquer brands...).  Sorry for the rant.  This is the gray magnetic and the stripes that apprear when you hold it up to a magnet it dark gray almost black. 2 coats.

'Whitehall' is a gray-turquoise metallic color that I promise is not as bright as it looks.  It's actually a lil bit uggy.  But the magnetic stripes make it very more attractive.  The stripes are dark navy almost black colored. 2 coats but that's only because it was my 1st time using the magnet so I messed up on the 1st coat.  :) hehe.

'House of Parliament' is my favorite of the 3.  It's much more purple than it looks here.  Here it looks pink, but trust me it's purple.  And again the stripes are much darker version of the regular not-magnetified color, but it's not almost-black, it's more like a dark purple.

Do you guys have any magnetic polishes???  If not YOU NEED THEM!

Also check this thing my friend Sarah showed me:

____&___   It's a guy draggin' his but on the ground. I'm so mature.

Wet N' Wild 'Believe Me, It's Real'

This is another Color Icon glitter, and I have to say: I LOVE THESE!  All of the glitters are such pretty colors and really dense, plus there only $3 ($9 per ounce).  This was another present from my lil' bro, along with this nail polish.  This another SUPER dense glitter 3 coats.  'Believe Me, It's Real' is a super fine royal blue glitter with larger purple hexagons.  So pretty.  It was gritty and a pain to take off like all glitters, but it's so pretty in person.  And it's a lot easer to tell that there's purple glitter in person.  Is all for today folks!

China Glaze 'Senorita Bonita'

This is a color from the China Glaze Island Escape.  I LOVE THIS!  'Senorita Bonita' is a red-purple shimmer, and looks rather pink at some angles.  The shimmer is gold, and blue, shown best on my middle finger.  So here's the good things:

1. Umm look at the picture that's good reasons 1 2 and 3.
2. See #1
3. See #2
4. It's so shiny.  Like this  no top coat

Here's the not good stuff:

1. Really sheer.  4 coats
2. And it's gonna be hard to find in stores old collection.

Yeah I really love this and like I said it is gonna be hard to find in stores but I found mine at the clearance section of my ULTA for $4.  

Did you guys get any of the Island Escape polishes???

Color Club 'Sugar Plum Fairy'

This is from the Color Club Beyond the Mistletoe collection.  It's 6 glitters and a top coat (and I got mine at Ross for $8!).  'Sugar Plum Fairy' is a light lavender holographic glitter.  Because a friend of mine told me that this one took more coats I thought that it wouldn't cover, so I started with a layer of LA Colors 'Black Velvet'.  I really wish I hadn't done that, because it shows where the glitter doesn't cover.  And this is 4 coasts.  So if you use this layer over silver (Used that on a friend of mine (Sarah) and it looked great).  But the rainbows that flash across the nail is MAGIC!  (top picture in the sun bottom in the shade)  Do you have any holographic nail polish?

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Strips a.k.a FOOLISHNESS!

Ok so the only other angry post I wrote was this post.  Do you know what those two post have in common?  Sally Hansen.  AHH!  Sally Hansen bothers me.  There prices are over priced for their quality ($8 for Gem Crush?  It's so easy to find dupes for half of them!).  But, everyone was saying how great they were, so I tried 'em out. 

In the box there's 16 nail strips in different sizes and a nail file and cuticle stick

I followed the instructions to the letter!  Look at that foolishness!  I don't know if it's just that my nails are weird-shaped, but before i removed the back (ya' know to cover the sticky side) they were shaped just fine.  Just looking at these pictures is depressing.  If these work for you then continue using them, but as far as I'm concerned LIQUID nail polish is the best way.  And you get way more usage for less money! ($10!!!) Ridiculousness) 

And as a side note:  I was at the mall and tried the Incoco nail strips and they fit my nail 10 000 000  times better.  But they were $20 and I repaint at least every other day so spending that much money for 2 days of wear wouldn't make sense but they had some really cool designs.

Island Girl 'Aloha Magic' 5 Pack

This is the 'Aloha Magic' pack shown here.  Umm I love my dad and am extremely grateful, but do u see the awkward bald spots on these nails.  These are all 4 coats.

First up is this magenta color (btw non of these have names). Now this is very unoriginal, I  have two exact dupes in my hoard and have seen many a more in the stores and online. (sorry but for the life of me blogger would not let me center that picture!)

This is another unoriginal color.  I have an L.A. Color that is IDENTICAL!  And while I haven't used that nail polish probably better than this.  Also not to big on this color any ways.

I really like this color. But no matter how many coats, there was always a bald spot.  

My favorite color of the bunch a really pretty teal-blue kinda color. although not very opaque.  Oh Island  Girl, you pretty colors and- oh no I can't say that on the internet- bad formulas depress me.

Best formula.  No awkward spots nice color too! So while not the best color it's defiantly the best polish!

This is a picture of all of them. 

What do you think?  Is this set worth the $12?  Do you have dupes for any of these colors?  Comment below

Love & Beauty 'Purple'

Love & Beauty is a brand of cosmetics sold at Forever 21 and there nail polish is $2.80.  They have like a buttload of colors and finishes (glitter, creme, shimmer, even some flakies and scented). Another think I like is a lot of there colors are dupes of OPI and Orly ('Gone Gonzo', 'Austin-tatious Turquoise' to name a few).  So when I saw this it looked like a dupe for Orly 'Out of this World'.  It is.  But it's *so* pretty.  It's a dark purple base with round circular things (not glitter but not shimmer, it's an in-between) that flash every type and shade of purple.  So in some lights it's blue purple, magenta, true purple, or a deep purple.  I really like this color though, this is 3 coats.

Wet n' Wild 'Night Prowl'

So out of the six missed mani's (shown here!) and OLIVIA said I should show you this nail polish first.  This is Wet n' Wild 'Night Prowl'.  This is 2 coat.  It's kinda funny cause on the first coat there's like barely any paint, then on the second coat it's totally covered.  This is a black base with purple glitter in it.  Oh yeah and here's a bonus:  It's $.99!!!  That's all for today FRAAAAYNDS!

Island Girl Haul!

I have a very like the best dad.  He spent the last week in Vegas and the last month before that I had been going on and on and on about Island Girl and how it can only be found at abc stores in Vegas.  Well when I saw him he brought me back a bagillion Island Girl stuff!  (sorry for the awkward lighting but I got the colors the most accurate)

Aloha Magic 5 pack

2-way Nail Art Pen and Striper

Mood Nail Color in Lei's

(top to bottom: watermelon, bubble gum, strawberry and raspberry)

And a 4 pack of roll on lipgloss with real flowers (I checked on the site)

(close up)

Now this is the purple from the 5 pack and it was, unique.  And by this I mean that the formula was so weird.  It was sheer but ya' know how sometimes going over a layer of paint and it pulls it off?  All of this would just come off when the brush barely touched it.  Like, the whole part of the nail was naked.  Also it dried darker than the bottle see picture below

BTW this is not my swatch of this color.  On thursday we have a half day and no school on friday and I promise you three 

readers that I will go SWATCH CRAZY!
