Day 23: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

Almost finished! Just two more manicures to go! Today was OPI Day 23: OPI -  Gift Cards for Everyone! from the Ulta Holiday 2012 exclusives.


It's a pretty royal purple that has bits of ice blue micro shimmer placed in it.


Sorry it was a busy day and unfortunately wasn't able to get photos in till after 3pm. Light was not that great.

Day 22: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

Getting close to the end! Today was OPI Yodel Me on My Cell and e.l.f. Chic Confetti.


Yodel Me on My Cell is a bright aqua blue with micro shimmer. My favorite from the Swiss collection. Chic Confetti is a multi-glitter.


This is the second e.l.f. glitter I've used this challenge. It stank so badly just like the last one. So crappy.

Day 21: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

I've got a pretty one for you today! It's from Revlon and called Whimsical. It's a baby blue with bits of pink & blue hex glitter, and a iridescent glitter.



It is very sheer. I used Eyeko Pastel as a base color and then two coats of Whimsical.


It's a fairly accurate dupe of Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air. I'm all about saving a little money on polish. But I love Deborah Lippmann polishes and have gotten a few of them. I'll give  a little PSA... hsn.com ships the single Lippmann polishes for free. If you use code: 126362 you get $10 off. Making a lot of the polishes between $6-8 a piece! If you keep checking out as a guest you can use it as much as you want. ;)

 The last day. :( It was such a fun activity!



Look a pretty ring! As cute as a button. ;)






Here it is on! The imagine is flipped wrong thanks to some weird blogger glitch.


Until next year?! :D

Day 20: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

This was a quick little manicure today. It's a skittles of China Glaze Mrs. Clause and Mistletoe Kisses. These came out in a Holiday collection in 2010. This is the best photo I had again. Low light makes things blurry. :(

Day 19: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

Hello again! Today I have for you a really neat glitter polish! It's from Ulta and it's called Fashionably Late. It's a black base with red glitter and red hex glitter.



Very pretty I think! I used three coats.


Day 18: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

While I didn't get behind in the manicures... I did get behind on posting the photos! Today was OPI Designer De Better from last year's Muppets collection.


It's a silver foil with these interesting orange/bronze flecks.


Here is a macro.


12-Days-Xmas-Swop: Day 11

I'm a bit late on these. Unfortunately, things have been really hectic here in Chicago.

A really cute pink package with heart stickers.


Inside was a nice neutral eyeshadow product from Maybelline! Perfect! As you noticed I have a huge nail polish obsession but my make-up one is just as large! Within the next two weeks I'll be heading to Ikea to buy a storage piece just for make-up!
