Bonita Too Cute To Spook

*Purchased by me*

Hello my pretties!  Have you guys ran into the new Bonita Salon Halloween Collection yet?  I was pretty surprised to see the displays in freakin' July!  Don't get me wrong, I am ALL ABOUT Halloween, I am not complaining at all!  I was just a bit surprised to see it considering the holiday is still three months out.  I'm guessing the people over at Bonita are big fans too, because not only is there an entire Halloween collection available at this point, but I also saw a Halloween four-pack which included a glow-in-the-dark shade.  I should mention this four-pack I saw was not from their "Salon" line!  Bonita is a new brand to me, so I am not sure about the different polish lines they have out, but my experience with the two "Salon" line polishes I have was pretty much perfection, so I decided to close my eyes and grab a color from the Halloween display.  Seriously, they are all pretty much amazing and it was literally impossible for me to choose a favorite.

The polish I ended up with was "Too Cute To Spook", and here it is!

FingerPaints Wild Bikini

*Purchased by me*

I had SO tried to hold off on the FingerPaints Poolside collection.  I tried to convince myself that I could just catch them after they go on clearance.  So I waited... and waited, and waited.  I finally gave in last week, because FingerPaints are buy two, get one free at Sally's this month.  I picked up three of them and today I am sharing my favorite of the three: Wild Bikini.

Milani Bella Blue Lipstick & Nail Polish

*Purchased by me*

A few weeks ago, Mr Chuckles (my husband) called me from Walgreens, very excited, to ask if I had a specific Milani shade.  I instantly knew I didn't; I don't own many Milani polishes and I am not sure as to the reason for the neglect, but I only own about ten.  Actually, I don't think they go on sale much, most of the ones I have are basically discontinued shades I picked up on clearance.  There have been awesome exceptions of course, like here, or here, where I actually bought them the first time I saw them.

In any case, Mr Chuckles sounded real giddy and must have experienced something similar, because he came home with this:

 

Sinful Colors Light It Up Collection

*Purchased by me*

Hey guys, I have another new display from Sinful Colors to share with you today.  It's a little bit insane how many of these are floating around out there at the moment... there's like five, six?  Hey, I am not complaining!  The truth is that there aren't that many new shades because each display only has one or two new shades, which is also cool I guess.

I have one of the newer collections to share with you today: Sinful Colors Light It Up (which includes a new shade).  This display also includes three stripers (not strippers!) but I didn't purchase those.

NYC City Samba Collection

*Purchased by me*

Hi guys, I hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth of July!  I had planned on sharing a few other patriotic polishes with y'all but honestly, I am too excited about my new polishes!  So maybe I'll save them for another holiday, maybe I'll just bring them late :)

Okay, so remember I had told you guys earlier about a possible dupe by NYC for Sally Hansen's Pacific Blue named Ocean Blue?  Well, I have the rest of the City Samba collection for you guys today, as well as a new swatch for Ocean Blue, are we ready?

Bonita Glitzy Heels

*Purchased by me*

Hello my pretties, I have a fantabulous polish to share with you today: Glitzy Heels by Bonita Salon.  I saw the display at Rite Aid a couple of months ago but had pretty much ignored it because I was waiting for a sale.  Wellp, no sales so far!  I broke down and picked up a couple of shades after reading my girl Phoebe's review of this line over at Glimpses of the Moon, and I am so happy I did!  I am going to share my favorite of the two with you guys today: Glitzy Heels.

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue vs. NYC Ocean Blue... Dupes?

*Purchased by me*

You probably heard it already.  Sally Hansen changed everything but the name of a classic again: Pacific Blue.  If you are unfamiliar with this situation, I strongly suggest reading Gianna's original post and follow up over at Nouveau Cheap.  Well guys, I think I found a decent alternative.  Check it out:

My 'Murica Mani: Independence Day Jelly Sandwich

*Nothing to disclose*

Hello my pretties!  I hope everyone is having a phenomenal weekend.  I am getting ready to go spend some time with the family, which is always exciting but exhausting.  We are a very cheerful bunch so our family reunions usually turn out to be a bit on the loud side, a lot on the fun side, you know what I mean?  Anyways, I just wanted to share my awesome nails with you today before all that goes down.  I gotta say, I am very excited to actually go show them off! :)

Sally Hansen Sugar Coats (VERY pic heavy!)

*Purchased by me*

Hi guys, I have been visiting my local Big Lots pretty much weekly with the hopes of replacing my Sephora by OPI 18k gold topper, which has been popping up here and there for under two dollars.  Unfortunately I haven't had much luck with that shade, but in the process I have found a bunch of other super cool polishes, and today I am sharing some shades from Sally Hansen's Sugar Coat line.

Pure Ice Sparks Fly & Crimson: My 'Murica Mani!

Hi guys, I have another patriotic set of polishes to share with you today!  This time they are by Pure Ice: Sparks Fly and Crimson.  Let's go have a look:

Salon Perfect Boom Boom Boom over Varsity Blue: My 'Murica Mani!

*Purchased by me*

Hi guys, I get pretty giddy about Independence Day here in the USA or Fourth of July.  I love to watch all the fireworks, eat all the barbeques and drink all the beers like a boss!  All month leading up to it I am full of stars and stripes and "In you face!" red white and blue.  I am pretty sure that this is one of my top three holidays all year, so I have collected a few patriotic shades of nail polishes through the years.  I usually wait to find them in the clearance bins after the holiday, but certain shades must not wait because they will be gone for sure and so I purchase them on the spot.

One of these shades is Salon Perfect's Boom Boom Boom, and it's a top candidate for the actual holiday this year.  Have a look:

Sinful Colors Chill Out Collection Swatches (Picture Heavy!)

*Purchased by me*

 
Hello guys, I am back again with another of the summer collections Sinful Colors has released recently, today I have the Chill Out collection.  It has a mix of new and old shades, some of the new ones might not be that new for us here because I had shared them earlier but hey, they are back! :)

Sinful Colors Turn Up The Heat Collection Swatches (Picture Heavy!)

Hi there my friends, as you know I am a HUGE Sinful Colors fan so I am super excited to share all the new collections they have put out for two reasons:  1. I get new shades!  and 2. I get to pull out the old shades that are repromotes and reswatch, which has a hint of melancholy and overall feel-goodness.  It is hard to explain but I hope you can understand that feeling, like when you realize your high school clothes are suddenly in style in a retro type of fashion.

So here we have it, one of the new Sinful Colors Collections: Turn Up The Heat.

Sinful Colors Simmer Down Collection Swatches (picture heavy!)

Hi guys, I hope you like reds... because I have Sinful Colors' Simmer Down Collection and it's definitely hot.  Red hot!  So I hope you are ready!  Go ahead, grab a cold drink!

Orly Baked Collection: Ablaze & Hot Tropics

Bon Soir Mon Amies! I was at Sally's today and came across a new Orly collection, it's called Baked.  There were many fun, bright colors, and I am proud of myself for showing this level of restrain because I only picked up two shades.  There is a third one I will probably go back and pick up during the week but I had trouble finding a fourth, so only two came home with me today.  Did I mention they are on sale?  Because they are!  This month, Sally's has their entire Orly selection Buy One, Get One Free and this includes their new shades.  So that is the reason I couldn't just go home with three shades!!  I also picked up a couple from their clearance department, which were BOGO free as well.  So, here are today's picks from the Orly Baked Collection: Ablaze and Hot Tropics.
