Bonita Cosmetics: Colorful Palette, The Artist Collection -My Favorites

 *Purchased by me*

Hi guys!  Bonita is a relatively new brand to me.  The first time I ran into it was at Rite Aid, I think they started carrying it sometime this spring.  Around summer K-Mart also started to carry it, and it has become really popular amongst us bargain shoppers.  The reason is that they retail for $2.49 but the quality of their formulas and previous collection shades have been outstanding (you can see the two shades I previously shared here), I really like them!

Today I have four of the eight shades that make up the Colorful Palette, The Artist Collection.  Let's go have a look!

FingerPaints Film Noir Collection: My Favorites

 *Purchased by me*

Hello my pretties!  Today we are taking a little break from the dark fall colors I have been featuring in the last few posts,  and instead I have my favorite shades from the FingerPaints Film Noir collection, which came out sometime in August.  I passed up the dark purple shade (Film Noir) and the lip-stain, so I only have three of the four nail polishes that make up this collection to share with you today.  I wasn't too crazy about Film Noir when I purchased these, it reminded me a bit of Sinful Colors Black Cherry.  I can see from swatches now that Film Noir is decidedly more purple, so maybe I will pick it up when it goes on clearance, but right now I am not feeling an urge to go pay full price for it, so we'll see what happens.  But back to the polishes I did get, let's have a look!

China Glaze All Aboard Collection Swatches (Picture Heavy!)

*Purchased by me*

Hello everyone, I am SO happy to share today's collection with you guys!  I should apologize for making today's post so picture heavy.  I actually considered splitting it into two posts, but one of the things I like about this collection the most is the way these colors look together, so.  Sorry but not really. ;)

I had shared Choo Choo Choose You with you guys back here, and it is still my favorite in this bunch, but let's go have a look at the rest of the gorgeous, gorgeous China Glaze All Aboard Collection.

Wet n Wild Megalasts from the Halloween 2014 Collection: The New Shades

*Purchased by me*

Hi everybody!  I am feeling super giddy this morning.  First of all (drum-roll please!), summer is OVER!  This marks the end of my least favorite season and it makes me so happy!  I don't even know what I like the most about the start of fall.  Chuckles and I call this time of the year "sunset season", you know what I mean?  The fluffy clouds, the colors, the light-rays... although dawns tend to be even more spectacular, in years past we were usually not up to witness them.  This year is different, there is no such thing as sleeping in now that our daughter starts school at 7:30, no matter what the adult schedules are like.  Also, Halloween is around the corner! It's all about 'dat candy, baby...

Speaking of Halloween and candy, I have some more Halloween eye candy for you guys today, this time it's the new shades from the Wet N Wild Megalast Halloween Collection, let's get to it!

Sinful Colors Wicked Color Collection Halloween 2014

*Purchased by me*

Hello my pretties!  Are we looking forward to the weekend?  If you didn't have a fantastic week, I have news that might cheer you up.  If you did have a great week, perhaps this will be the cherry on top!

First of all, and I hope you guys were already aware of this: Sinful Colors is on sale for ninety-nine cents at Walgreens through tomorrow.  The bad news here is that the sale ends tomorrow, so we are working against the clock guys!

With the juicy news out of the way, let's "conjure up something sinful" and get to the swatches!

China Glaze Loco-Motive vs. Sinful Colors Black Magic vs. NYC Rule The City Comparison

*Purchased by me*

Hello my pretties, I am back hoping everyone is having phenomenal weekend.  Remember last year when Sinful Colors put out a LE shade called Black Magic with their Halloween display?  It quickly became super popular and flew off the shelves in a couple of days, never to be seen again.  I had imagined SC would add this shade to their Halloween display this year, but was a bit shocked to find that they are re-promoting Pumpkin Spice instead.  So last month when I saw China Glaze's All-Aboard Collection at my local Sally Beauty Supply (I shared Choo-Choo Choose You with you guys here) I initially passed up Loco-Motive, because it seemed like an exact Black Magic dupe to me.  The same thing happened when I saw NYC Rule The City from the Fall Fashion Queen Collection ( I shared NY Princess here).  In the end -of course- I went back and picked up both of them, and I swatched them side by side for you today!

FingerPaints Masquerade Affair Collection Swatches

*Purchased by me*

You guys, I think I jinxed myself.  Just last week I was telling you about how good this summer has been to my nails in terms of length and overall health.  Well... that lasted through yesterday.  I broke the nail on my  middle finger in a rather ironic (and stupid) way.  I went to Sally's and picked up the rest of this Masquerade Affair collection (I shared Queen For A Night here) and managed to bang my nail against the nail polish bag, with the tip flying off to the unkowns.  I would have probably tried to repair it had I not physically lost it but in any case, this is the reason why my nails are shorter and it's going to take me a little to get used to them, I can tell already from applying these beautiful babies I have to share with you today.  So, without further ado, here is the FingerPaints Masquerade Affair Collection:

Sinful Colors SinfulShine Shining Bright Off The Runway Collection Swatches

*Purchased by me*

Hi guys, it feels like it's been a while since I've posted an entire collection at once.  I think the biggest reason is that my schedule has suddenly shifted, and I find myself going to bed way earlier than I had for the last couple of years.  It's weird man.  It's because I have to wake up way earlier too, to get the morning going around here now that my daughter has started kindergarten and Chukles has been working in the mornings pretty consistently the last few weeks.  I have the house to myself an entire six hours most days, and surprisingly enough, I haven't got much done.  We were sick all of last week; first the kiddo, then me and on Friday it was Chuckles' turn.  The good news here is that we are all pretty healthy now and I am going to get back to nail polish this instant!  Here it is, the complete Sinful Colors SinfulShine Bright Off The Runway collection by Sinful Colors:
