Spring/Summer 2012 Nail Polish Haul
Ok, so when there are sales on nail polish....I can't help myself. And this week it was a gold mine for nail polish sales. I justify it in my head as "it's cheaper to buy a bottle than get a manicure". Well, then I look in my drawer and figure I have spent way more than a monthly manicure. Owell. Some people collect stamps, others collect dolls. I collect nail polish.
Walgreens is having a Sinful Colors sale $0.99/ea! They do this regularly, so if you happened to miss this sale, don't worry. Keep an eye on their ads for their next sale. So I got 5 for $5! I haven't tried any of these on my nails yet, but descriptions of each color are below.
Queen of Beauty: Chunky silver glitter polish. I tried it out as soon as I got home and it gives just enough sparkle without being over powering. *perfect!*
Cinderella: Soft baby blue with pink micro shimmer. It's not chunky enough to be a pain to take off, but it catches the light just beautifully. Kind of reminds me of the opposite of Kimpletely in Love by Nicole OPI.
Unicorn: Your soft yellow. If you are wanting to try a yellow nail polish, but not sure which hue will suit your skintone...give this one a try. Softer yellows can compliment any skintone. Plus yellow is perfect for springtime!
Folly: Bright deep pink that leans towards the red color family. This will look gorgeous on any skintone. I'm thinking of using this as a pedicure color.
Glass Pink: The reason I went to Walgreens. I wanted to get Kimpletely in love, but this looks like an exact dupe. It is a soft pink with a shimmer to it. The only difference I noticed is that Kimpletely seems to be a little less shimmery.

Now for the China Glaze portion. Sallys AND Ulta were having a buy two get one free sale this week. So I got 3 at Ulta and 6 at Sally's.
Gothic Lolita: A beautiful purple. It's almost like a deep-colored neon. SO pretty..Especially on those toes!
Wicked Style: Your average bright pink, but it has some red mixed in to make it a tad bit of a deeper shade.
Sun Worshiper: I thought this one was so unique. The camera makes it look yellow, but it has more orange in it. It's a bright yellow-orangy neon. So pretty!
Peachy Keen: A perfect peach color. If you want to branch out and try new, bold colors, start with peach and work your way up to yellows, blues and greens.
Flip Flop Fantasy: I finally tracked down this sucker. I wore it yesterday and it's a gorgeous neon pink.
Happy Go Lucky: A brighter, lemon-colored yellow.
For Audrey: A classic shade that everybody always buzzes about. It's a gorgeous minty-turquoise.
Sea Spray: A greyed-out blue.
Electric Beat: I think it is best described as a neon baby blue. It's not super bright, but gorgeous on the nails.
