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 polish between $6-8 a piece! If you keep checking out as a guest you can use it as much as you want. ;)

12-Days-Xmas-Swop: Day 12

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

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!

12-Days-Xmas-Swop: Day 8

Day 8! Mauer wanted  to help today. What a sweetie.

Chloe wrapped this one up with a cute bunny sticker!

Inside I found a ear cap charm. Took me a minute to put two and two together! haha

See pops into the headphone jack! How cute! I used to keep a charm thing on my first cell phone but all the ones after that didn't have a hole for the sting. It's nice that someone thought about making things like these now!

Day 16: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

Hello! Today box number 16 has provided China Glaze Love Marilyn. A pretty red glitter with and silver hex glitter. I used e.l.f. Cherry Bomb as a base color and then two coats of Love Marilyn. Poor lighting again today. :(

Here is the macro! Not bad!

Until tomorrow.

12-Days-Xmas-Swop: Day 7

 Day 7 is here and Chloe has wrapped up something with this pretty orange tissue paper. Love the little heart stickers.

A Domo iPhone charger! Hehe! Isn't it cute?!

Looks so cute next to my phone. :) Thanks Chloe!

Day 15: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

Well, go figure the day I have this it's raining and dark outside. :( It's China Glaze He's Going in Circles. I used three coats and no top coat. It's very pretty!

You can sort of see the holo here.

I did get a pretty awesome macro! You can see all the fragments.

Until tomorrow.

12-Days-Xmas-Swop: Day 6

Day 6... halfway through the gifts. :( Chloe has done a great job so far!


I wonder what is in here?

Extremely adorable space stickers! I used to buy stickers all the time, but stopped around the time I moved to Switzerland. (Way too expensive there). I'm going to need rekindle sticker buying. :)

I love the little space boy

Day 14: Nail Polish Advent Calendar

Hello Hello!

Today was another mini polish from the Holiday OPI Ulta set. This is Last Minute Shopper. A really bold red shimmer that leans pink. In the bottle it looked not special. On the nails not too bad! It really glowed.

 

 Here is the macro.
