Jessica Iridescent Eye, Chanel Peridot Dupe



Today I have one of the several Chanel Peridot dupes.  This is Jessica Iridescent Eye.  I've actually owned this for about two months and I have no idea why I haven't tried it yet!  It's lovely!  I used two coats and topped with Seche Vite.  The other dupes that I know of for this are OPI from the new Spiderman Collection Just Spotted the Lizard and Gap (yes apparently The Gap has nail polish!) in Gold Rush.  I absolutely love when I can find a dupe of a high end nail polish.  I have yet to own a Chanel but I do have several other polishes that are dupes of high end ones!  






You can really see the color shift in my pinkie in the above photo.




Do you have any of the above polishes?  I love this one!  I actually have an extra bottle that I will hopefully be included when I reach 100 subscribers on the blog here.

GIVEAWAY to Celebrate 100 Facebook "Likes"

I just wanted to thank all of you that follow my blog and/or are a fan of my Facebook page.  I am still pretty new to this whole blogging thing but I really love it so far.  Thank you for taking the time out to look at a post or even to like my status.  I wanted to do a giveaway to celebrate 100 likes.  Also, I will be doing another giveaway once my blog reaches 100 followers so hopefully that happens one of these days.

A little note, this is open to the US only.  Unfortunately, shipping costs internationally are more and I can't swing that at this time.  I hope to in the future be able to do international.  I need to find out more about the shipping rules for polish in that regard.

The giveaway will end next week Friday.

Onto the giveaway


Good luck!!!

NOTD: Another Accent Nail Mani

Hi all!  Today I have another NOTD for you with an accent nail.  This is Color Club Age of Aquarius with China Glaze Optical Illusion from the Prismatic Collection.  I love how bright this color is.  It is perfect for summer and I think it's going on my toes when I do my next pedi.




Thanks for looking!

AMAZING!!! Fantasy Fire! Picture heavy!!!

So, I happen to be lucky enough to win Max Factor Fantasy Fire in a giveaway from Set in Lacquer. Check out her blog...it's wonderful!! For those of you that don't know, this polish isn't available in stores in the US.  I know its pretty available in the UK but I'm not sure if it is available elsewhere. This particular polish has been compared to Clarins 230, aka Unicorn Pee.  It is definitely not a dupe but has similar properties.  There are blogs out there that have done comparison.  If you're interested, just fire Google up!  

Showcasing this polish requires a lot of pictures in my opinion.  Also, this is more of layering polish.  I've seen lots of pictures of this and people tend to layer it over black and rich blues/purples.  I decided when looking through my collection to layer it over Essie's No More Film.  If you like somewhat darker colors, you need this polish in your life!  It's a blurple and it is easily a one coater!!  

Also, I have a swap in progress in which I will get getting a few more bottles of Fantasy Fire.  When I hit 100 subscribers, I'm hoping to do a giveaway that a bottle of this will be included.  

So, should we get onto the pictures?  



These first pictures are indoors.  You can see how it flashes red.



Outdoor bottle shot!  How gorgeous is that!

Wowza!!!  Isn't this amazing!!!  I can't stop staring at my nails!



Here is a thumb shot facing away from the sun.  You can see how if flashes green.


And here is a thumb shot facing the sun where if flashes red. 


If you can get your hands on this polish, get it!!!  It is amazing!!

Enjoy your Sunday!

New Favorite Green

I haven't been posting as much as I would like lately.  Life just continues to be super busy but hopefully I will get posting a little more.  Today I have for you Essie Mojito Madness from Essie's summer 2012 collection.  I have been on a huge blue and green kick lately.  I absolutely love this color!!!  I don't even know how to describe it.  It's kind of a cross between a grass green with maybe a little bit of lime to it. The formula on this was amazing and this is two coats.
















Have a lovely day!

Orly Androgynie

Today I have for you Orly Androgynie.  This polish was originally a limited edition polish but Orly now has it as part of their permanent line.  I first put down a coat of Wet N Wild Black Creme, which by the way is an awesome black polish!  Androgynie is a black jelly with glitters but I didn't feel like messing with putting on several layers. Without further adieu....





Thanks for looking!
