Sally Hansen Loves Me Not Nail Polish! (Swatch)
I am obsessed with this nail polish! It was in a new seperate display, so I'm guessing it's a new shade. I might have something similar, but 95% of my polishes are packed away because we are moving in a month! I will be back to doing comparison swatches ASAP! This is such a gorgeous purple with an amazing blue and fuschia microshimmer!! I have such a soft spot for sparkly purple polishes, so in my opinion this is a must have!! The formula for this polish was A+! Enjoy the swatch!!
MAC Extra Dimension Highlighter (Superb & Whisper of Gilt)!
When I heard MAC was coming out with highlighters that were very similar to the Estee Lauder Modern Mercury, I knew I had to have it. I never got my hands on the Modern Mercury and have been dying to try it. At first, I only thought I would get MAC Whisper of Gilt, but I am so glad I grabbed Superb as well because it is the most gorgeous highlighter OF LIFE! It is so gorgeous on the cheekbones and down the nose. You barely need any product and when you take the time to really blend it in your skin, it gives you the most amazing glow! I was afraid these might be too metallic, but they aren't! They are both still available for $29 on the MAC website if you are interested! I highly recommend Superb! Enjoy the swatches!

NOTD: Essence Wake up! (swatch)
Essence Wake up! is a really bright and fun red/orange polish with an excellent formula! Like I always say, you can't beat the quality and price of any Essence polish for $0.99!! This nail polish made me think of my MAC Hibiscus lipstick, so I am wearing that today as well! My outfit is just a plain white v-neck shirt and jeans! Love it! Enjoy the swatch!

Revlon Break-up Nail Art (Swatch/Review/Fail)
I saw a large display of new Revlon nail art that caught my eye. It is a double ended tube (one side is a cream polish and the other side is a shatter polish). I've never been a big fan of the shatter polish look, but they display made the color combinations in these duos look really cool. The combo that stood out to me was called "Killer Instincts". One end is a bright orange cream and the other is a super sparkly copper/rose gold! Application was easy. I just applied one coat of the orange and one coat of the shatter on top. It crackled nicely, but the reason I call this a fail is because once I combined these on my nails, it is really UGLY. I thought maybe it was just me, but my husband told me to take it off because he thought it was a really ugly combination as well. There just isn't enough contrast between the 2 colors. Maybe it would look better over a black rather than the orange. Here are the photos!

Butter London Nail Foundation Base Coat (Before/After Photo)
The reason I am so into nail polish is because I'm always trying to hide my nails that are weak, brittle and peel. I have tried numerous base coats that claim to fill in the ridges, but they never work. Butter London's Nail Foundation is the only base coat that I can actually say works. This is a recent discovery for me and I will be using this everytime I paint my nails from now on! I'm embarrassed to post this, but I can't be the only one with nails that peel. Here are the before and after pictures!

Revlon Runway Pearl Limited Edition Polish! Swatch!
I saw a new Revlon display that only had this limited edition nail polish in it! I am not typically a sheer nail polish girl, but the red shimmer in this is to die for! Runway Pearl has an amazing red microshimmer that glows like lava. It is so unexpected and I love it! The formula is great and you could even do just one coat because it doesn't streak at all! (My thumb looks streaky in the photo, but not in real life). Enjoy the swatch! **ps. This is a dupe for Chanel's Pearl Drop nail polish**
