Hey Ghouls;
Happy New Year and for those of you who did celebrate Christmas i hope it was a splendid one.
Sorry i was MIA for the last couple of weeks, Christmas holidays take a lot out of you but to make it up to you i have a massive Christmas Haul.
Most of the things i am going to show you were either bought for me as gifts, bought with Christmas money that i recieved from people or little things i just splurged on because it was the season. I will mention with each item how i recieved it and whether or not it was a gift.
I WAS NOT PAID FOR ANY OF THESE OPINIONS.
Because there are so many items in this haul i will posting one item to a blog so that you can simply skip to the blog post that you are the most interested in. If you are going to stick at it and read them all well thank you. :)
This blog post will be on the Nail Polish Portion of my Chirstmas Haul.
I'll begin with the nail polishes that
I purchased firstly if you read my Halloween haul you'll know that i was waiting on the China Glaze awakening set to come in the mail, it did arrive finally and so did my replacement Cross Iron (from the Haunting set) If you are interested in seeing these colors and swatches visit the now revised '
Halloween Haul'.
The first nail polishes that i purchased were from the
Ozsale China Glaze Sale. Each were 5.99 which is the same price that you can purchase them from
SaleNail which is a site i frequent often. (This is not a sponsored link, i just figured you guys would like to know where to get them from).
Some of the colors that i wanted were already sold out by the time i reached the sale however i did pick up three.
-For those of you who are unaware Ozsale is a site much like the American Hautelook. It has daily-weekly sales on designer clothing, cosmetics sometimes toys and electronics.-
The three colors i picked up were:
Flying Dragon (Neon) - A mangenta purple with neon blue and pink glitter some bottles vary, my bottle has a lot of blue in it whereas the bottle my cousin picked up as more pink. (Matte)
Easy to apply, decent spread of glitter however you can move around the glitter as you see fit, as most Matte nail polishes you'll need to apply quickly as it dries fast and can end up streaky.
Outta Bounds - A Sea Green with shimmer that has a tealish side to it. (Shimmer)
Not yet worn, was easy to apply onto the nail wheel. Dried quickly
Drastic - (Retired) Deep Blood Red. (Gloss)
Easy to apply, not streaky. Lasts at least five days even on my nails.
Being Christmas time i really wanted a festive red color, too many of my red nail polishes look tacky and cheap. I wanted a more elegant color so I searched through some blogs and found Pin Prick by China Glaze. It was described as a red with gold shimmer and i purchased this on Ebay for $4.99. The gold shimmer is very present in the bottle however when painted onto a nail it behe only difference i can see by eye is that the China Glaze red color seems to 'hide' the gold shimmer whereas the gold shimmer in Scandal's 'Red Shimmer' is more dominant. Either way i do not regret purchasing Pin Prick.
The Final Color that i purchased myself is by an Australia Drugstore company called Blush Amour. I will be doing a full review series on Drugstore products for my Australian fans who are curious about them. The color is number 70, with no name which is disappointing i mean seriously don't we all just love saying the name of our nail colors. It is meant to be a top coat, as it is a clear jelly with lots of tiny gold glitter and bigger hexagonal glitter in gold, blue and red.
Onto the nail polishes that i was given as presents.
My mother gave me a nice collection of polishes only three actual colors in the haul the others are topcoats and so on.
I'll start with the three Designer Brands Nail Polishes she purchased. Designer Brands is another Australia drugstore brand that has recently become popular again.
I got a Base Coat which is number 840 and this i found defintely helps my nail polishes to stay on longer.
I also got numbers 214 'Snow White' which is a shimmery white color and number 532 'Watermelon Gold' which is a shimmery pink color with gold shimmer i found this was very similiar to China Glaze's 'Awakening' except with more of a pink tone than purple. These nail polishes however take at least three coats to become opaque, which seems like a fair amount but for the price is reasonable. I believe my mother said she got the 3 of them for six dollars on sale.
The color i love the most at the moment is the Simpli polish she bought me. Simpli is yet another Australian Brand i believe. There is no number or name on this polish so i will just have to describe it as the camera is not even picking up this polishes beauty. The polish is a smoky clear jelly with pearlescent glitter in it. It looks like a snowglobe.
I also got a double pack from Lacura which is the Aldi brand cosmetics, the two colors are numbered 800 and 801 there are no names on the nail polish bottles themselves but they were on the box they came in. 800 is a clear top coat and 801 is French Manicure pink. I also got the Sally Hansen's Advanced Hard as Nails. I've only been using this for a little while so i will let you know how it works out for me.
The final two polishes i got were in a cheap makeup pack that my Boyfriends mother purchased me. Just one of those multiple packs with no brand and no color names. But i thought i'd share them here because one of the colors is amazing. The first color is one of those cheap red polishes i told you about before, the second is this beautiful pastel purply pink color with silver rainbow glitter in it. However on the nail the polish appears much more pink. Both of these colors need at least five or so coats on their own or two to three over a white base.
Thank you for reading I do hope that these opinions and reviews were helpful, The Makeup and Body Beauty sections should be up soon.
Remember it is your imperfections that make you unforgettable.
