FingerPaints Queen For A Night from the Masquerade Affair Collection

*Purchased by me*

 Hello guys, I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  I am really excited for today's post!  I had been a little bit bummed this month because the sales at Sally's were not very enticing in the nail polish department, so aside from picking up my favorite shades from the All Aboard and The Giver collections (which I shared my favorites of here and here) I have been able to hold off on buying the ones I'm not 100% bananas about from each in the hopes that they get some better deal going when September starts, next Monday.  So I wandered into Sally's today for inertia, really... because I was in the area, and walked away with this little number.  Let me tell you.  It's like nothing I've ever seen before!  This is FingerPaints Queen For a Night let's have a look-see!

SinfulShine Shining Couture vs. SinfulColors Kissy: Dupes?

*Purchased by me*

When I saw Sinful Colors Shining Couture in the new SinfulShine line display (which I showed you here) I instantly thought "it's Kissy!" and picked it up under the assumption this was another a case of an updated formula.  So, I swatched them together and I have the results to share with you guys today.  Let's get to it!

China Glaze Choo-Choo Choose You from the All Aboard Collection

*Purchased by me*

-----
I can't believe it's Wednesday.  I had planned so many things for this week and just can't seem to get around to them.  I think it's part because the days are getting a little shorter, part keeping up with my kid's new schedule but I feel like I have been super busy with very little to show for it.  My house is a mess, my car is a mess...  Did I mention I have the flu?  I keep telling myself that it's part of adjusting to a new life stage now that my kid goes to school and things will settle down soon.  This may or may not also be related to all the new fall collections I have been hunting down during my free day-time these days.  I don't know... it doesn't really matter!  Look!  I have a pretty to show you!  This is Choo-Choo Choose You from China Glaze's All Aboard Collection, check it out:

Sinful Colors: SinfulShine Prosecco

*Purchased by me*

UPDATE: To see the entire Shining Bright Off The Runway Collection swatches, click here!

You guys know by now I don't like the summer heat.  I could go on and on about the reasons why the valley summers pretty much suck, but I gotta say: it really makes my nails thrive.  It's when they are the healthiest and strongest, I haven't had any major incidents with them, other than the middle fingernail on my left hand broke a couple of weeks ago, but it's catching up to the rest nicely already.  I was thinking maybe it's time to change the shape again, I kind of have been missing my fangs lately, and now that my nails are longer -and with Halloween coming up(ish)- they seem more and more enticing.  We'll see about that in the next couple of days.

Today I have a bootiful new shade to share from Sinful Colors' SinfulShine Line: Prosecco.  Take a look:

China Glaze History of the World - The Giver Collection

*Purchased by me*

I stopped by my Sally's Thursday and was super happy to see that The Giver Collection had finally arrived.  I saw Phoebe's swatches over at Glimpses of the Moon and had been stalking my stores waiting for it, so I picked up three shades that day and was planning on returning for the rest this weekend, but the  extra 50% off clearance that is going on right now put the brakes on that for at least another week.  I went a little bit overboard.  I had told Chuckles to hold me back and stop me from purchasing any more polishes until my swatch situation gets under control, but of course the second they threw a LE in the mix the plan changed.  "I'll just pick these up" I told myself on Thursday.  Then Friday came the flash sale and my good intentions of self control and measure went down the drain.  I don't know guys, how could I not buy all the $1 China Glaze and Orly's?  Couldn't walk away from it.  I may need therapy...  In any case, here is one of the three polishes I picked up from this collection: History of the World by China Glaze.

Jenna Hipp The New Brights Collection

*Gift*

Hello my pretties!  I am super excited to share today's post with you guys!  First of all, if you haven't heard about Jenna Hipp before (like me!), it probably means you are not a Hollywood based celebrity (like me!) because she is a celebrity manicurist (not that I knew that before this!).  I am going to share my swatches first and then give you my thoughts, how these babies got to me and where you can find them at the bottom of the post (spoiler alert: they are dreamy!).

So, without further ado, here is The New Brights collection from Jenna Hipp.

Sinful Colors Vintage

*Purchased by me*

Hi guys, I'm back with another polish that has basically been my biggest obsession in the last month or so.  I shared a huge, hard to find lemming of mine yesterday,  but today's polish is a little bit different because it's a current official Sinful Colors shade and to this day I have no idea what the reason for the delay in the OMGeode collection showing up in my area was.  You guys have probably noticed I'm a huge SC fan, and ever since Noveau Cheap shared the display I had been hunting for for it with no luck.  I am not talking about my usual ten mile radius guys... we are talking about a three-person search party that extended as far as  ninety miles away.  NINETY.  MILES!  Was it worth all that effort?  Let's have a look!

Here is the object of my affection: Sinful Colors Vintage.

SpaRitual Wilderness: Orly Just Peachy Dupe!

*Purchased by me*

Hey there my pretties, sorry I have been MIA for a whole week, I mostly blame my kid, because her birthday and celebration(s) happened from Thursday to Sunday and it was kind of crazy busy around here... but maybe there's a little procrastination on my side there to be blamed as well, who knows... who cares?  I have great a bunch of awesomeness to share this week :)

I have satisfied a lemming!  You guys... I had been going bananas trying to find the coveted Orly Just Peachy at my TJ Maxx and Marshalls with no luck.  I had seen a twin sibling existed out there (click here for a side by side comparison) and guess what?  I found the twin!  Are we ready for this?  Here is SpaRitual Wilderness!
