Alphabet Nail Challenge: O is for Ocean Love Potion (by OPI)

An interesting teal-aqua that reminds me a bit of Zoya's Zuza - but Ocean Love Potion has just a touch more heft.

Meow Cosmetics’ Sun Island

Almost - but not quite - a yellow-orange. Ordinarily I can't wear those colors too well; and even with this one I have to be careful what I pair it with, or it will lean a bit too yellow. It does work as an inner-lid accent color; and for warmer-toned...

Silk Naturals’ Bling

I have a few golds like this one: a deeper gold, not quite a gold-taupe but nearly. And possibly some greenish undertones thrown in to really confuse me. This was part of a kit that I got from Silk Naturals. I don't like how these old-gold colors look on me...

Meow Cosmetics’ Flamenco

I love it - a softer peach-pinkish metallic! Not a bronze or brassy color, just softer. Sandier. I love the shade, the color payoff, and application. It's almost like China Glaze's Robotika in eyeshadow form - but more pink tones and a little less brass.

Alphabet Nail Challenge: N is for Natty (by Zoya)

Today marks the beginning of the second half of this challenge! I've gotten a lot of new polishes swatched, and I've enjoyed wearing the colors, so I'm glad I signed up for this. My cuticles are less than thrilled, though. All the nail polish remover - even Zoya's Remove+ -...

Autumn Splendor 2012 sweepstakes

The Maybelline Fall Fashion Week collection came out, but it's been kind of hard to find...and invariably, whenever I did find it, over half the stuff was gone. Which kind of stinks. And then, finally...I found a brand-new display, so I stocked up. Then I found another one,...

Alphabet Nail Challenge: M is for Monica (by Zoya)

Monica's another shade from Zoya's fall 2012 collections. Monica's a Concord-grape creme - so it's right between the summery neon-ish fuchsias (like Reagan) and the nearly-black purples (like Pinta). I have a pair of tops that are just a little bit darker than Monica (Sadly, give them enough years and enough...

BareMinerals’ Luxury blush

Very soft (as so many BE blushes are) pinkish coral. I actually like using this shade as a “no-makeup” look, and I do like the color, but it's awfully sheer! I haven't tried using it on my eyes yet. I don't know if the effect would be good, or if...

Alphabet Nail Challenge: L-Substitute: Indigo (by Zoya)

This is the first of two posts in this series where I'm using a nail polish that begins with a non-standard letter. In the second case, it's because I honestly don't know any nail polishes whose names begin with X. In this case, it's because I Had A Backlog, and...
