My Entire Collection of Nail Polish

I am not proud.
Really.
Although I know my collection is much smaller than other polish bloggers, rampant consumerism is nothing to be proud of.
Grouped by colour family sort of.

 Purples and blacks and that one L'oreal plummy brown that I couldn't really put anywhere else.

 Yellows, golds, oranges.

 Blues and greens.  

 Whites and neutrals?  and those weird super dark ones from ULTA.

A bunch of pinks and reds and such.

I guess that's it.

New Storage Solution, and New Fingers Look

I decided that little thing I made months ago with an old box lid and foam discs was to small for my LipSmacker  collection.  That's because it actually was just overflowing.  So I got a new thing to put them in.  A nice Caboodles box with sparkles all over it.  Seriously I feel 12 carrying this around.

Yes!  This is definitely big enough for my current collection (which is pretty darn massive in my opinion) and more!
So big in fact I decided to put some of the other products I use on a more regular basis in there too, so I can have them all easy to get to at once!

The only thing I really don't like about this box is the locking mechanism.  Obviously I'll keep it unlocked, but what if it accidentally did lock up on its own and I couldn't find the keys for it?  I'll have to put the keys somewhere safe I guess.  This box also came with a seriously sparkly tiny pink purse.  Not really my style, but I know a kid who would probably be into it.

Oh!  And here's my nails probably for the rest of this week!  I've got some new polishes on, or at least new to me.

I wish I hadn't marred both thumbnails before picture time.  And also that I could learn to take a decent picture already.

The blue Zoya polish (Charla) was on clearance at Ulta and is a really pretty glass fleck, but even after 3 coats it's a bit streaky.  The other blue, the light one, is called Jelly Bean Blue, and is from Hard Candy's new line of polishes.  It's also kind of streaky after 3 coats.  The one from Claire's is called Candy Shop, and everyone says it's a dupe of a Deborah Lippman polish.  It's probably got the best consistency of anything I've used on  my fingers for this manicure.  I topped it with French tips and reverse French tips in gold.  It looks better in person.

That's it for now.  I did take pictures of my entire nail polish collection (spoiler: I'm not proud of my rampant consumerism, even if it is much smaller a collection than other polish bloggers') and maybe I'll put that up later.

Thanks for reading.  <3

Another Bunch of Nails (including some new OPI!)

So uh... this was at Ulta last time I was there (about a month ago.)

As I knew already that I wanted the turquoise and the gold polish in this 4-pack, I decided to scoop it up.  The purple is a new colour for me, and I was really happy when the pink was nowhere near "My Address is Hollywood".  I forget what the names of these colours are, but they're all great, so I wore them together.

Little rainbows on my fingers!  I was so happy with this look!

Next was just a simple peachy-pink and gold look.

There's "My Address is Hollywood"!  One of my favourites, both for the pinkness and for the name!

Just painted the whole nail with the kind of salmon pink, then went in about 3/4 of the way with the gold, and then halfway in with the dark pink!

Finally some confetti easter egg nails for easter.

A sheer light pink base, and then one layer of dots with the brush, one with a disposable eyeshadow applicator, and one layer of dots with a toothpick.  And then I used some opalescent glitter as a topcoat.  It's cute but I kind of can't wait for it to chip away so I can get started on a new look!

And!... with that... I guess all I can say is that a new look will come at some point in the future!

Paul Frank Triple Treat Collection and Vintage Trio Collection

I picked up the Paul Frank collection a while ago at Ulta because it was on clearance for like 2$, and also saw the Vintage Sour Grapes Trio at Walmart and had to get it as soon as it was new.  The Vintage Trio is basically old flavours that Bonne Bell is re-releasing to celebrate lipsmackers' 40th birthday.  Unfortunately in my opinion both of these were lackluster entries in lipsmacker land.

 The Paul Frank Triple Treat Collection comes in a cute little bag, that I'll probably use for storing small items later on since I keep all my lipsmackers in one big case now.  There's a Carrot Cake flavour, a Red Raspberry flavour, and a Fried Ice Cream flavour.

Carrot Cake- not very carroty at all.  This is disappointing.  The thing I smell/taste most in this one is actually coconut.
Red Raspberry- the best of the bunch, but I don't actually like raspberries.  I guess if you do like raspberries, this is the one for you though.  It's pretty spot-on.
Fried Ice Cream- barely smells or tastes like anything.  Some of my friends who say the flavour of lipsmackers is too strong might like this one though.

The Vintage Trio just comes on a blister pack.  There's another Vintage Trio that I haven't seen in shops, but I have seen on the website, that's like milkshake flavours, and I really would've preferred to get that one, but this is what I got.  SOON!  (I should just place an order on their website for the other one...)

Sour Grapes- this is probably really good if you like grape.  I don't though, so while the flavour was intense and sour (which is good), it was still grape.
Pina Colada- this is decent  It's not horrible.  It's not super great either.  It's vaguely pineappley.
Orange Sherbet- this is the best of the set.  I wish they made more orange-flavour lipsmackers, or more citrus in general.  I really would've gone for a sour lemon one had it been available.  Orange Sherbet isn't sour though.  It's more like a creamsicle.  It's pretty good.

Well, all I can say is I hope the next set I get I'm happier with, because these just didn't do it for me.  But I am pretty fussy, so maybe you, the readers, will enjoy these anyway?

Thanks.
