Tis the Season.



On the Makeup Alley nail board there has been a lot of buzz around Dollar Tree having tons of vintage polishes. Well, not so vintage, but Maybelline and Sally Hansen that is discontinued. It's been so painful to read! There have been so many colors!
I have been seeing a few on Ebay here and there, my Dollar Tree has been hopeless.
While traveling for Thanksgiving, I found one that did have a few items! Got a taupe and a cocoa. Nice neutral creams.
Found a great Gold Matte, bought two!
I have a photo of the polish with WetnWild top coat.
It's a very warm gold that has a lot of depth to it.

It also has some small glitter that is lighter, cooler, gold throughout. There is, in some light, a bit of a copper shimmer, like microglitter, in it as well.

It looks like Christmas wrap!

I love it!

Plus it wears so very nicely!

Application was stinkin' easy!

It dried so fast, amazing.

I like the vintage sticker on the bottle, I don't know how old it is, and so it's hard to say, but probably 2-4 years, if I guess.


Here is a better shot of the polish.

I am hoping that my skills applying show, a bit, I don't do "clean up" as of yet, but do enjoy getting a little gap thing going.

I basically still can't apply to my left hand as well as on my right.

Ironically it's my left hand nails that break the most often.

So I file them a bit short.

And oopsie, you can see a bit of the red polish from the last time. Still working on that one!

This polish is so right on trend! Glitter? Check. Matte? Check? Depth and interest? Check!

If I hadn't added the topcoat, the full matte would be seen, I'll add a photo of the matte soon.

Right now, I am reworking storage, updated the database, and in general keeping organized.
Upcoming? Konad, Fauxnad, and some layering. I am slow, though, because this has been on my finger for two days now and I am loath to remove it.
