Hello Kitty Polish!

What a day it's been. I woke up with a terrible headache that I still have some eight hours later. Ugh. The weather was bad. Lots of snow,ice etc...and I had to drive to the airport this afternoon which is an hour away. On top of all that, I was a nervous wreck waiting for the vet to call with my two cats blood test results. Thank goodness it all turned out okay. Got to the airport and back fine, and the vet called, and my cat are both good. Still have the headache, but I can deal with that. I probably gave it to myself worrying so much. Anyway, I decided to cheer myself up a bit with a pretty,sparkly mani. some polish shopping, and some yummy Italian food from my fav. restaurant.

A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from Sephora, saying they were having a private sale for the Beauty Insiders. The sale was for the new Hello Kitty for Sephora line. I got two of the eight of the polishes. The bottles are just TOO cute! :-) I love them!

The two I got are Purple Sprinkles and Pink Sprinkles.



Today, I used Purple Sprinkles. I used Revlon Not So Blueberry as a base color. Purple Sprinkles can def. be worn on it's own, but might take three coats. The Hello Kitty bottles are kind of small so that's why I used Not So Blueberry first. I wanted to use the least amount of PS a I could so that I don't run out of soon.

I'll start with Revlon Not So Blueberry. It's one of the scented polishes. It smells like blueberries. Bet you couldn't have guessed that, huh? ;-) I actually really love the scent! I can still smell it even with the HK polish over top and with my top coat on. Application was fine, but for some reason Revlon polishes seem to bubble on me. I have no idea why, but this has happened with several lately. NSBB is a really pretty polish. It's a sparkly lavender color. I used two coats.



I then topped it off with Hello Kitty Purple Sprinkles. PS has small and medium teal and pink glitter in a purple base.











Well, I'm off to try to get rid of this headache. I hope you are all having a good night! :-)

Sephora by OPI Holiday-What's Your Point-settia

Happy Friday!!! :-) Today I have another one of the $OPI holiday polishes for you. What's Your Point-settia is a dark red with red and gold glitter/shimmer. It's another winner in my book! It really does remind me of pointsettias. The darker ones anyway. I bought this in the store, so it is out already. It's already sold out online, but I'm sure they will have more soon. Application was great, and I used two coats.











Have a great weekend!!!! :-)

New Sephora by OPI Holiday Polish-Merry Me

I saw this polish on the Sephora site last week, but it was only offered in a set that had five other colors that just didn't interest me. Then this week, I got an email saying this polish was available to Beauty Insiders, so I bought it. Merry Me has a deep red base with silver,red and pink glitter. It's super pretty and perfect for the holidays. For some reason, it reminds me of candy canes. :-)

I used two coats, and had no problems with application at all. Dry time was fast. I'm not sure if you can get this without having a beauty insider card or not. If not now, then I'm thinking it will surely be available later on more towards the holidays.









I hope you are all having a great weekend so far! Have any big plans? For once, I don't have any plans, and I'm happy about that! Just going to relax! :-)

Blue Sapphire......Starry Starry Night dupe?

I don't think it's truly a dupe, but I've heard it compares pretty well. I do know that it's helped squash my lemming for Essie's SSN. No, not completely, but it will hold me over. One day I WILL own SSN! :-) In the meantime, this little gem from Sephora will have have to do. I truly love this polish. It's my very fav. ever. For now. It's my go to polish. It is super tiny, and I think I have about seven of them. It is currently on sale from $5 to $3 both in store and online. Even though I have seven of them, I'm planning on getting more, to stock up. I don't ever want to be without it. :-)

Blue Sapphire is a deep midnight blue jelly with blue and silver glitter. It applies very well, and I used two coats.









So...are you one of the lucky ones who owns SSN? Do you have any dupes like this one?

I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend! :-)
