Dupe Alert!

Sun

Hey guys!  When I saw the pictures of Zoya's winter collection I immediately wondered if Dream was a dupe for LA Girls Brilliant Blue.  I already owned Brilliant Blue so when I read somewhere that Dream was not a dupe I picked it up at Ulta.  Oh boy was I disappointed when I got the bottles next to each other.  Now as all good polish addicts know bottles can be deceiving.  So I tried them out on my nails.  In all my pictures Zoya Dream is on my middle and pinky finger.  LA Girls is on my first and ring finger.  I used two coats and topcoat for each polish.

When I'm checking out dupes I always ask Mr. MLiP for his opinion.  He used to do photography for an art gallery so he spent a ton of time color correcting paintings in photoshop.  He's really good at picking out even small differences.  He couldn't tell these apart at all.  So I will have to find a new home for my LA Girls since I love how my Zoya's all line up together in the helmer.  I hope this helps someone out.

Until next time...

Different Dimension Good Evening Clarice

Sun

So I know Halloween was a few days ago but I really wanted to show you guys the super cool mani I actually wore that day.  This beauty is two coats of Different Dimension Good Evening Clarice layered over Zoya Neely.  GEC is a minty green with a super subtle holo.  Since it was a bit sheer I layered it to give it a bit of a color bump.  GEC is glow in the dark too!  My accent nail is Orly Old School Orange, a rubber finish, with China Glaze Goulish Glow layered on top.  I couldn't handle one nail on each hand not glowing haha.  Then since Mr. MLiP said my green and orange mani wasn't Halloween enough I stamped on a spider from my Mash plates.

I thoroughly enjoyed wearing this mani.  The glow in the dark was so much fun to torment Mr. MLiP with.  Although karma payback for sticking my fingers in his face was the next night I scared myself when I turned out the light and itched my eye.  It was weird to have something glowing by my eye.  I hope you all had an awesome Halloween.  We had lots of fun trick or treating with my boys.

Talk with you soon,

SinfulColors Leather Luxe Review

Press Sample

Hi Everyone!  Tonight I have my review of two polishes from the SinfulColors Leather Luxe collection.  This collection is made up of seven gorgeous matte polishes.  First up is Laced Up, a beautiful orange.  This is two coats and the formula was so easy to apply.  Dry time was super fast on this one.

Next up is Strapped.  SC describes this as seafoam green but I think it's darker than that.  Either way it's really pretty and again had an awesome formula.  This is two coats as well.

I have to say that for $1.99 polishes these are fantastic.  I'm so impressed my how easy to use they were.  Formula and application were way above par.  These polishes can be found at Walgreens.  I already went out and bought the black one, Whipped.  Everyone should own a good quality matte black.  Click here to go to SinfulColors facebook page.  Give them a like so you can keep on top of new releases and promos.

Until next time my lovely readers...

Generic Halloween Nails


Hi everyone!  I have a super generic Halloween mani that I wore last week.  This is Julep Cleopatra, a wax finish black, and Julie G Tangerine Dream, an orange texture finish.  The formula on Cleopatra was actually really good.  I had been expecting a pain after reading some blogs but mine was even in two coats.   Tangerine Dream took three coats to not have VNL.


This was my first time wearing a texture polish on a full nail and I have to say it weirds me out.  I can't stop touching it.  Both polishes wore really well.  I was surprised by how well.  I hope you all have a fabulous Halloween.  If work tomorrow doesn't ruin my current mani, I'll be sure to show it to you even if it's after the holiday.

Until next time...
