Shopping for the Necessities...

Well the other day i went shopping for nail supplies.. I was hoping to get some new polish colors, but when I went to my local nail supply shop the lady informed me that there going to have a HUGE sidewalk sell on the 19th. She said that some OPI and Essie will be like 60 percent off and an array of hair and nail supply will be considerably marked down. So i decided just to pick up the Essie Matte About You i ordered and a couple of Orly hologlitters that were on sale for 99 cent each. Then I went to my other nail place that sells to wholesalers and professional nail shops and bought my economy size acetone lol.. I go through acetone so quick that i decided to buy it in bulk size, and i end up paying like 3.50 for the bottle and get like 20 ounces more than if i was to go to Walgreens or CVS. Also i decided to re-up my nail art polishes and buy the basic colors(other than the neon orange), 2 seche vite top coats (because i use it so much, and then i decided to try out China Glazes Fast Forward Top Coat (when i use it i will blog about the best top coats out there in my opinion)! But in all this was my shopping trip, it wasnt to exciting because there are no pretty colors to look out, but they are true necessities for me to my nails on a every other day bases.. (and disregard the stuff in the background, it is mostly all my make up)

So this American Manicure, i left off my list up top because i wanted to talk about it separately. If you go to a nail salon and get a french tip, this is more than likely the bottom coat they put under it. It fives your nails a pinkinsh sheer tone and i absolutely love it. This is especially good for people who might have pale nail buds.

I love art brushes... Some say it will be cheaper just to get then brushes and dip them into paint i already own, but im so particular and i have to buy the individuals. I will probably do a quick blog in the future about nail brushes.

Sidenote: All these supplies cost me under 40 bucks, so not to shabby for the necessities, now if it was polish it would be muuuuuch cheaper!

Opi's Brights!

So today I went to my local nail supply store, because my lady on the inside told me the Brights collection would be discounted today.. Well she was right they WERE! So all though I know the collection has been out for awhile, im frugal and was not going to pay for colors that i would primarily use for the summer. Anyways my collection of nail polish's have been lacking a true orange, so I have had my eye on the Brights Atomic Orange ever since they came out. I also had my eye on the limish green (which photo more of a sea green) Gargantuan Green Grape. Its so soft and pastel so it doesn't look to bright

on my dark complexion. I also bought Need Sunglasses? because come on who doesnt like a Yellow! Lastly I bought Purple with a Purpose, it kind of has a irridecent shimmer to it, which makes it look like you have little plums on your fingers. All in All I LOOOOOOOOOVE my purchases I made today and look forward to showing them off. Until Later

-Stay Pretty!

Side Note: I will be swatching them real soon! After I swatch the China Glaze from last weeks haul.

A simple Shopping Trip turned into a big Haul...

Okay so i went shopping today, and to say the least i went a tad bit overboard with buying nail polish lol.. They had so many deals going that I would have been a fool to resist (shopaholics plea)... Anyways I will let you guess how much I paid for this and I will let you know if your right..But I bought 6 China Glaze, 6 OPI's (2 from the India Collection and 1 from the 90210 Collection), 1 Zoya, 3 China Glaze Minis and 4 Nail Basix.. I also got some rhinestones because I am obsessed :).... Anyways I have to go to a swim class in a hour so i wont be able to swatch them today... But I will be swatching each group by the end of the week hopefully because I am anxious to see how some of these colors that are out of my comfort zone will turn out.
