Hello everyone!
Today I have for you Orly's Androgynie! Its a beautiful black based polish with tiny goldish glitter and larger multicolored hexagonal glitters. In the bottle it is amazing and on the nail it is very pretty but I can't say that I was ecstatic about it. First I'm going to insert a bottle picture so that you can see the difference between the bottle and the nail.
As you can see, it is STUNNING in the bottle and I was so excited to put it on. When I had finished painting my nails, top coat and everything, I was disappointed. The hexagonal glitters are a lot more sparse on the nail and the black base almost seems to be a little too heavy and covers up the brightness of the glitter. I hope that makes sense. I will now put in the pictures of the nails so you can see the difference clearly.
They really are quite different. Don't get me wrong I still loved it on my nails. It was beautiful but it wasn't what I thought it was going to be and just wasn't as exciting. I hope you guys have a wonderful evening!
XOXO Sam

A Little Rant
Hello everyone!
I just have to blow some steam off right now because I am a little frustrated at the moment. I was just ordering some Konad supplies off of their website and was really unhappy with how it went. The whole checkout was just a pain in the ass. I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but I am SO irritated!! The checkout kept coming up as not secure which freaked me out but luckily I was able to pay through PayPal otherwise I would not have even finished my order. When my order first went through it didn't even take me to the page to pay it just went back to the home screen so I was so confused. Then, I got an email from them telling me I needed to pay, which I knew obviously, and the whole checkout out from that point forth was hard to navigate and honestly I'm just really let down right now. I'm sure lots of people have had nice experiences with them but I really didn't. I cant say anything on the shipping or yet as I just ordered the products tonight but I will let you know. I wanted to start doing some more nail art for you guys, which was my reason for ordering the plates, so please leave some suggestions down below. Sorry again about the rant I just had to let you guys know. Please let me know about your guy's experience with them so I know if this was just a fluke or a common thing when ordering from there.

NOTD: Orly's Rage
Hey lovelies!
Today I have for you Orly's Rage. It's a metallic rose gold color and it really is gorgeous and right on trend. I'm not a huge fan of metallic colors but I really liked this one and kept it on for quite a few days. It wore extremely well considering I had it on for five days and only had very slight tip wear.

It only took to coats to be opaque and the formula was perfect! I am really happy with this polish and will definitely be wearing it again!
Thanks for visiting! Be back with another post soon!

Dior Mitzah Nail Polish- Camel
Hi there!
I hope you guys are all doing well! Today I have for you one of the Dior Mitzah Bricard collection nail polishes called Camel. I also have the other one, which is Ebony, and I will have that swatched for you all very soon. As soon as I got my email from Sephora that this collection came out I bought both of the nail polishes and two of the leopard print eye shadows because I was thinking about giving one away at some point. For some background info on the Mitzah Bricard, Christian Dior's muse, here's a link to an awesome website.
This was a pretty yellow based nude which looked even more yellow with my skin tone for some reason. I'm still really happy with it and the application was great. I think this is my first Dior polish I've reviewed on here. I only have three of them so that would make sense. :)
Have a great night everyone!!

NOTD!!!!
Hey everyone!!!!!!!
A few days ago I wore this mani and LOVED it! It's POP Beauty's Ultraviolet as the base color with Glitter In My Stocking, which is Nicole by OPI, as an accent nail. My camera was having the hardest time ever picking up the color of Ultraviolet so I'm going to link to my Jo'Mina post, here, because they are pretty much dupes.
I could not stop staring at my nails and got a ton of compliments from complete strangers. I was so excited about it!

Both of these colors really really impressed me. The formula for both was great and the glitter had so much dimension! If you find either of these snatch them up. You wont be disappointed!!

Zoya Yara
Hey Everyone!
Today I have a Zoya polish for you guys. The formula was great, as always, and I think that the color really speaks for itself. Its a beautiful army green with gold shimmer. Right on trend for fall in my opinion. But lets get right into the pictures! As usual, click to enlarge.
It's definitely different and I don't have anything else like it in my collection so I'm really excited about it!!! If you guys want something a little out of the norm for sure pick this one up!
Until next time,
XOXO Sam
