happy thanksgiving. here is a "treat yo'self" style collective haul from the past few weeks. i am technically on a "no buy." even so, i *needed* these polishes. lets see what the girl had to have. "calabaza" h&m nail polish this orangy-mustard creme is both gorgeous and easy to apply. a little jelly on the first coat, there was not a streak in sight. two coats made it opaque. even yellows at h&m are amazing. i need more. this was from my "i'm at h&m already, buying a sale dress, i should really pick up another nail polish" haul. "near dark" china glaze from the 2011 halloween collection, this murky green crelly was a little tough to get even on the nail. i have many deep greens and my collection, and one that appears this dark (mistaken for black in most light) with a much better formula. i may chuck this into the de-stash bin. this was from my "i cannot find 'zombie zest' or 'its alive' by china glaze, so i am settling for 'near dark'" haul. "sophisticated" revlon previous to this haul, I only had one revlon polish in my collection. see my one-and-lonely post. this pale grey creme was on sale at walgreens (along with "urban" below). i could not resist a grey that looks like a creme version of my textured favorite "leather skinnies." in the bottle, you can see teeny micro gold shimmer, but it does not show up on the nail. nonetheless, the formulas was incredible and the look fantastic. i'm in love. from the "i deserve a treat, i just a flu shot" haul. "urban" revlon i've had my eye on this polish for years. the sale put me over; i had to have it. an interesting creme, i cannot detect whether it is purple or blue. blurple, mayhaps? regardless, beautiful. opaque in two coats, terrific formula. "madam" marc jacobs this nude creme is almost my mannequin hands. it leans a little yellow, but i dig it. the bottle has slight yellow staining on the front, which is probably why i found it at t.j. maxx. great formula and a nude that i can love. if you are seeking a skin tone match for you, at my local maxx there were several mj nudes in an array of shades. if you live in the u.s., check out a store near you. "stone cold" marc jacobs
this chromy metallic called to me. it is almost as close to mirror-like as opi's "push and shove," and does not require a special base coat. like "push and shove" this does chip very quickly. this was from my "shopping for holiday gifts, but marc jacobs needs to come home with me" haul. happy turkey day, bitches. thanks for reading.
