Mini Haul From Ulta+OPI Ali's Big Break.

So I totally forgot to post this a while ago, I was supposed to do it last week, but forgot lol. These are just a few clearance polishes I picked up at Ulta, OPI Ali's Big Break, OPI Take The Stage, and China Glaze Aqua Baby. I thought the first two were perfect for the holidays, and it makes sense since these were part of OPI's Burlesque Holiday Collection last year. And Aqua Baby is just a really gorgeous blue...don't let the name fool you, this has no hint of aqua or a similar color, it's just a true blue. 

So I wore Ali's Big Break last weekend, and it's a red color with pink undertones, and gold shimmer. Really, really pretty. I absolutely love reds, and have a hard time passing up any. :)

So that's it for now, hopefully this weekend I can post another tutorial. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Recent Haul...and Time For A NO-BUY Haha

Hey Everyone! So I made a couple of trips to a couple of Ulta stores...and ended up buying a lot more polish than I had planned. :\ I did really well though as far as getting good deals and hitting up the sales(buy 2 get 1 free, 2-for-1, clearance), and using coupons and rewards, so that made me feel a little better about my purchases. :) So here is the first group I bought:

These three are Zoya Jem, Neeka and Jana, all from the Smoke & Mirrors Collection. I now have 7 out of 12 from that collection, and I think it will stay that way:

These three were random from various collections, left to right: Zoya Ali from the La-Di-Da collection, Zoya Marley from the Intimate collection, and Zoya Shay from the Touch collection:

Then I just had to take advantage of the 2-for-1 deal with Ulta nail polish, so I picked up Ulta Concrete Evidence and Army of 1:

So that was my first little haul...Then while visiting my grandparents I took a trip to the local Ulta there, and had an amazing time shopping there! It's funny how each Ulta can have a totally different selection of things and clearance items! :D I was very pleased with this second trip:

So these were buy 2 get 1 free, and are from the Orly Birds of a Feather collection. From left to right: Fowl Play, Nite Owl, and Peachy Parrot:

These two I just couldn't pass up. Ulta Material Girl and Chocolate Kiss:

And then, as I was about to leave, the clearance section caught my eye. I just had to check it out, and found a few sweet deals. :) I picked up China Glaze Blue Iguana and Electric Pineapple from the Island Escape collection, and Barielle Out-Grey-Geous. I tried so hard to get a good picture to capture these colors, but I just couldn't get it. :\ The blue is actually a blue and purple duochrome shimmer, Electric Pineapple actually has a greenish tint to it, and Out-Grey-Geous had little flecks of holographic glitter. Hopefully when I wear these I can get better pics of the true colors:

So here's the whole lot together!! :D

Ahhh so pretty...But seriously, this has put me in the No-Buy phase. I told myself I need to wear every one of these colors before I do another major haul. Hopefully that will actually happen. ;) Thanks for stopping by, I should have new Nails of the Day and tutorials up sometime this week!

A Little Haul, Good Deals. :)

So I am always one to look for awesome deals on everything, and I came across some really good ones this weekend! :) I always tell myself that I really don't need to buy more polish, but you can never have enough, right? So Ulta has a great deal on all of their name brand products, buy 3 and get 3 free! So I did exactly that:

From left to right: Eye Popping Poppy, Dance Teal Dawn, Little Black Dress, The Jungle Look, Devious, and Moody Blues.

I also took a trip to my local mall and visited Claire's. I usually never go into this store anymore, but I saw their awesome display of polishes, and they had a buy one get one 50% off deal, so I grabbed a couple of really pretty glitter colors:

The blue is called Twinkle Twinkle and the purple one is kind of holographic and is called Evil Queen. I can't wait to try these two. :)

Then I visited my local Walgreens and they had the buy one get one 50% off deal on L'Oreal products. I had been wanting the Project Runway polishes for the past couple of weeks, but never got them...so this was the perfect opportunity to get a couple! :)

The first one is called Raven's Strength and is actually really dark, almost a metallic black. The second one is Owl's Night, and to me it looks like a gold with a greenish tint to it, and it's nice and sparkly! :)

So overall I am very pleased with my purchases, can't wait to test them all out. :) Also planning my next tutorial video, so check back for that soon! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Mini Haul For This Week :)

So I told myself that I shouldn't buy anymore polish for a little while, at least until next week haha...but I just couldn't resist. I had some good discounts to use, so I took another trip to Ulta. :) I've been totally obsessed with browns and taupes lately! They all look so gorgeous to me so I chose a few for myself, I hope they look as good on as they do in the bottle! 

From left to right: Ulta Brownette, Ulta Taupe On A Rope, Zoya Jules, Zoya Codie, and OPI DS Mystery. Taupe On A Rope is a pretty taupe with gold shimmer, I tried to show that in the next pic:

Zoya Codie is a very nice brown from their 2011 Fall Collection Smoke...I am slowly getting into their fall line, and slowly falling in love with the colors. :) OPI DS Mystery is not a brown shade, it's more of a deep purple with gold sparkle...I have heard mixed comments about this shade, but I couldn't resist trying it out for myself! Here's a closer look at these two:

 I can't wait to try out all of these and create awesome new designs for the Fall! Thanks for stopping by! :)
