NOTD and Winners of the Giveaway!

Hey everyone!!!!

I recently purchased quite a few Catherine Arley holo polishes off eBay. This was my second time purchasing from this seller and it went great so I may decide to leave a link to her eBay store if my next purchase from her goes just as well.
I got 1 bottle of 805, 1 bottle of 800, and 4 bottles of 667 for both frankening and a future giveaway. They were $6.50 a bottle but considering how much you would have to pay to get other holos like this (upwards of 19 dollars) I would say that's pretty great!
Now onto the pictures :)

667, 805, 800, 667, 667, 667

Close up of 667

Close up of 800, a true red holo :) this I have never even seen before, love it <3

Close up of 805, swatched in this post.

I chose to try the red holo first because I have never seen a true red holo. It applied like a dream. It took just two coats and left behind no patchy spots as some holos do. It wasn't too runny nor too thick. This is an awesome color to add to your collection if you love holos. Now on to some more picture spam :)

Then I decided to add the silver shatter over top. You can't tell in the picture because my camera is being dumb but you can definitely still tell that the red is holo underneath in person. Its beautiful!!!

Now onto the three contest winners, I have emailed you guys and you'll have 48 hours to respond before I pick someone else. Spin, Irina, and Conniewest3. Congrats guys!!!!

I'll talk to you all soon!
XOXO Sam



Last day for the GIVEAWAY!!!

*CLOSED*


Hey ladies!!
You all have been so amazing, I'm so glad you guys loved the giveaway. I will definitely be doing more! I just wanted to give a little reminder that it ends tonight at midnight so everyone please make sure you enter before then!!! Like I said in my Sonia Kashuk post I am giving away three bottles of the silver shatter now because you guys have been so great. I'll hopefully have the winners randomly selected by tomorrow! I'll have a NOTD post a little later.

Have a great Friday!
XOXO Sam

NOTD Violetta Sonia Kashuk and Update

Hey everyone!!

Today I wanted to show you another Sonia Kashuk nail polish because for the price I really think that they are great. They are $4.99 per .5 oz bottle.

The application on this was great. Perfect after two coats. This is a dusty purple cream...I LOVE it! This is totally worth checking out. I also was made aware by one of my followers, Wendy, that these are limited edition colors for the spring so if you like this color or the other Sonia Kashuk color from this post go pick them up from Target before they get sold out! (Thanks Wendy!!!)

All these pictures are pretty dead on with what the color actually looks like. It's amazing in my opinion!

Also, I would like to thank you guys for being so supportive and nice about this giveaway. Its always nice to have people say thank you for the giveaway when they leave their info. And since you guys have been so awesome I went out and bought two more silver shatters so now I will be having three winners that will each get a full size never used bottle of OPI Silver Shatter. If you haven't entered yet make sure to enter before midnight on April 29th!! Click here to go to the giveaway post!

One more thing, I just wanted to give you guys an update on the Dare to Wear polishes that I posted about here. I wore the blue one and after three days I still didn't even have tip wear! They looked like I had just painted them! If I had any doubts about this polish the other day they are completely gone now. Seriously amazing! Sorry about the long post, have a great night guys!

My First Giveaway!!!!!!!!! OPI Silver Shatter

*CLOSED*



Hey girlies!!!!!!!!!

I said in my post yesterday that I had bought an extra OPI Silver Shatter for one of my followers so I decided to post the giveaway today. :) This is my first giveaway so I'm very excited and I hope that everyone is nice and supportive about it because I've heard about the haters. If this one goes well then I am going to go get another bottle and have another giveaway for someone else :)

The Rules:
1. You must be a follower. Please leave the name below so that I can verify. And leave an email that I can contact you at if you win. Leave your entry in the comments, thanks jennifer for pointing that out :) (1 entry)
2. If you blog about this please leave the link to your blog (1 entry)
3. Tell me what sort of posts you'd like to see and any polishes that you want to see swatches of. (1 entry)

This giveaway is for one bottle of Silver Shatter. I have not even opened it once and just got it yesterday. I paid for it with my own money. I will pay for shipping to whoever the lucky winner is. This is open internationally as long as its somewhere I can ship to from the United States.

This giveaway will end at midnight on April 29th. Any comments after that will not count. The winner will be chosen randomly by the website my bloggers use. I will then contact the person and they will have 48 hours to respond after I email them.

Good luck everyone :))))))) Thank you again for all the support you guys have been showing!!

OPI Silver Shatter and Surprise!! :)

Hey girls! Two posts in one night :) I'm sure feeling productive tonight!

I have a surprise for everyonee!! Today I went into Walmart to look at some more Revlon polishes and I saw out of the corner of my eye a little barber shop inside the actual walmart and some shiny bottles. I walk over and what do I see?!?!? The Silver Shatter display from OPI out early at this little salon so I had to snatch them up!!
Here's the display:

And yes the two empty spots are from me :) as you can see below. Why two you may ask, well I'll answer that at the end of the post :)

Silver Shatter before top coat:

Silver Shatter after top coat (I use Seche Vite btw):

Gorgeous right?!?!? I am going to try this again soon with a brighter color underneath because I think it will make the silver pop more than the dark blue, which is from my previous post Dare to Wear Back to Basics. Now down to the bigger meaning of this post; I have been so overwhelmed with good feelings since I started this blog. You guys have all been so supportive of my new blog and you have been leaving such awesome comments. So, I bought the second Silver Shatter for you guys to win in a giveaway!!! I will post the giveaway soon!! Please let me know if this is something you guys as my followers would like!!
XOXO Sam
