Sally Hansen’s Like A Girl (050)

This shade is extremely close to Zoya’s Veronica. Like a Girl is just a tiny it brighter…or maybe it appears that way because the Mega Strength formula is a bit watery compared to most other polishes I’ve used. If you like deeper reds but the vampier colors...

NYX Cosmetics’ Machinist: Steam palette

Almost a year ago, I snagged two of NYX’s Machinist palettes for half price. Since then they’ve been on sale, but until now (August 2019), never for half price. (Folks who still want the Steam palette, jump now! It’s the only one still available, and it’s half...

Sephora’s Pro Stippling Brush

Nails Inc’s Queen Contour
