Russian roulette

Today I have Essie's Russian roulette. I got this at Big Lots for $1 recently.  This along with a few Essie polishes were sitting on the shelf like they were waiting for me!!

 

I'm usually not much of a red person but since this was so inexpensive I decided to get it. At first I just put it on my toes and I really liked it. These pics are 3 coats of Russian roulette with Orly's Top to Bottom on top. I put a little flower sticker on my index finger just for fun. The formula on this was a bit thin, but very easy to manipulate for a pretty clean application. 

Milky glitter

Today I'm wearing Revlon Whimsical. It is a light blue milky base with blue and light purplish pink hex glitter and smaller silver hexes. This is my first foray into a milky glitter. It is something totally different than anything else I have in my collection

The consistency of this was pretty thin, but the glitter was surprisingly easy to get out of the bottle. I had to use several layers of this polish to get it to how it looks in the photos below. I'm talking 4 or 5 coats, which took a while since the dry time was kind of long. I topped it with Seche Vite just so the darn nails would dry!

Polish drawers reorganized

My stash has gotten bigger, so I needed to re-organize my nail polish drawers. Right now I am barely fitting all of it into 2 dresser drawers. Think I have enough? I didn't count it or anything. Too afraid.

I had previously had my drawers organized by color and that was it. I have changed it up a bit and now have them organized by brand. I think it will make it easier for me to find what I am looking for with it organized by brand.

How do you organize your polish?

I'm not cryin'

Hello! I have Mermaid's Tears by OPI today. I've been wearing it for a couple days and it's been holding up pretty well. I got this a while back at TJ Maxx in a duo with a turquoise crackle. I like this alone and it looked really good with the orange and white dress I wore yesterday. The combo was almost like the new color scheme of my blog!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Blog redesigned

Wow - two posts in two days. Don't get used to anything!

I redesigned the blog today using a free template I found online. I may change it up more often than I have been. I get bored with the same thing as I'm sure most of you do, too.

Happy first day of Summer (tomorrow)!

Salvation Army Haul

Hellooo!! Sorry it's been for frickin' ever since I've posted anything. I  don't know why I haven't - just lazy I guess. I know this blog is primarily about nail polish, but today I have decided to divert from that. It is called Nails N'at - so this falls under the N'at category.

I went to my local Salvation Army "SUPER STORE" yes - super store - today. Wednesdays they have half price on all of their clothing, so I decided to go and see if I could find any summery things and I was successful. As with all thrift store shopping, it can be hit or miss, but this time it was definitely a hit. I was in the store for a while..cough...cough..over an hour maybe.

I ended up getting 3 pairs of capri pants, two dresses and two shirts. All of this was less than $22. I love a deal! One of the dresses was brand new with the tags. Holla! I think I'm set for the summer!

Here's what I scored:

Left: Xhiliration brand dress (Target brand) $2.50; Right: Brand new i.e. dress $7.50 (regular retail $58)

Close-up of the price tag! Love the deal!

Capri pants, Left, Worthington Brand $2.50;  Right, New York and Company $3.00

Left, capri pants, Van Heusen Brand, $2.50, top brand unknown $2.00, Right, top brand unknown $2.00

Close-up of the top. I love the detail on it! So pretty.
