These Are a Few of My Favorite Things Giveaway



Hello!  It's been forever since I've done a giveaway so I've been collecting things for the last couple of weeks.  Everything I've picked out is one of my favorite things.  These were all purchased by me except for Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer 2014.  Julie was awesome and sent that along when I ordered the other polish from her last restock.  Let me show you what you can win.  Sorry folks but this is US only.  It's so costly mail things internationally.



Starting on the left we have a mini China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise.  Now I now it doesn't really look like a mini but it is.  My camera did something really weird to this picture and it's dark now so I can't redo it.  Next is Rica Bottled Unicorn Fart, which I showed you here.  Next up is my favorite polish that has been release so far this year, Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Sordid End.  Next to that is BEGL 2014.  You can see Sordid End here and 2014 here.  The last polish is Nail Nation 3000 Hollywood Nights.  This polish is exclusive to a local beauty supply shop so I knew I had to throw it in.  I've been loving on some Nail Nation polishes lately.  


Next lets take a look at the non polish items.


We have Poshe cuticle care.  I can't live without this stuff.  Hempz Citrus Blossom lotion.  It smells amazing!  Waxelene is something I use on my cuticles.  They get crazy beat up at work and this stuff fixes them right up.  I actually prefer it to my Lush Lemony Flutter.  Lastly my favorite nail file ever from Sally's.  You can enter using rafflecopter below.

Good luck!!

Sally Hansen Color Foils

*Press Sample*


Good morning everyone!  Today I have three of the new Sally Hansen Color Foils to show you.  These were sent to me from the pr company and I'm so excited to show you.  The directions for these polishes say to not use base coat or top coat.  When I first put on one of these I must have had some cuticle oil on my nail because the polish wouldn't stick to my nail.  So I took it off, wiped down my nails really thoroughly with remover and started over.  Much better results!  Each polish is shown with two coats.  Each one has two sun pictures and one shade pictures.  When you first put them on they look a bit brush strokey but once they dry that goes away.  The hard part is because there is no base coat you see every imperfection of the nail bed.  One amazing thing about these is the dry time.  These dried so, so fast.

First up is Purple Alloy.





My second pick is Minted Metal.





My favorite of the bunch is Cobalt Chrome.





All in all I liked these a lot more than I was expecting too.  They are a bit finicky but if you are patient I think they are worth it.  I'm curious to see how well these stamp.  They are opaque enough for sure but because they dry so dang quickly they may not work super well.  I'll have to check it out and get back to you guys.  

Have a great Friday!

Color Club Feelin' Groovy

*Purchased by me*

Sun
 Good morning!  Today I have seriously the most obnoxious (in a good way) mani I've worn in a very long time.  This in your face green is Color Club Feelin' Groovy.  Like with most neons they can be a bit on the sheer side so this is three coats plus top coat.  My accent nail is Color Club Sexy Siren layered over China Glaze Hanging in the Balance.  This mani was so bright that Mr. MLiP noticed it before I shoved my fingers in his face to look at it.

Shade
Are you a neon fan or no?  If you are what are your favorites?  I love a good neon.

Until next time...

Rica Bottled Unicorn Fart

*Purchased by me*


Hello!  I have a fun polish to show you today.  This super cool glitter is Rica Bottled Unicorn Fart, fun neon glitters in a clear base.  I started with a base mani of Sation Tardy Tart and Zoya Rocky on the accent nail.  Then I did a quick (and if you look at my middle finger, unsuccessful) gradient, using the brush of the polish.  The glitter laid flat and was smoothed out with a layer of Glossy Glam, Rica's quick dry top coat.  It was a bit overcast when I took these photos so no direct sun shot today.


One of my favorite things about the Rica brand is if it's for sale in the shop then it is ready to ship right then.  Every time I've ordered anything from Rica it's been shipped the next day.  You can click here to check out the shop.  Be sure to take a look at Glossy Glam while you're there.  It's an awesome topcoat.  You can find Rica on facebook as well.  I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Until next time...
