Pure Ice Hot Tamale

I don't venture much into Wal-Mart anymore. Honestly, the store is rather scary. It's always jammed packed and takes forever to get through the lines. That being said, I do like to check out their polishes when I garner up the courage to face the swarm of crowds! This is a nice color I picked up recently.

Hot Tamale

Hot Tamale is a rich red-orange with gold shimmer throughout. I'm sure you know why I went for this color the gold shimmer. :P

I'm actually really impressed with this Pure Ice. This reminds me of a deeper version of Zoya's Gwin. I love how Zoya is the master of gold shimmer, but Pure Ice did just a good of a job here. I've also seen some other colors by Pure Ice that remind me of Zoya colors. Pure Ice is $2 so it's a great deal. I think even though this is a brighter color, it is suitable for autumn. I think this would be a great color for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any day!

Happy Sunday!

Sinful Colors Social Ladder

I'm not a huge fan of white polishes. I think it's because white cremes look way too stark against my skin. It's difficult for me to find a pale or pastel polish that works for me. I really like Sinful Colors Social Ladder though.

Social Ladder

Social Ladder is a soft white shimmer. This is a lovely color. It doesn't scream white, but gives your nails nice clean look. It also isn't bland at all. It's the right balance!

I can pull of these colors. I think shimmers in paler colors help. This isn't a color I'd normally reach for, but I like to have it in my collection. I love these softer colors when I'm burned out or can't decide on what to wear. I usually end up loving these colors a lot more than I expected. I felt the same about Zoya Stephanie. I wasn't impressed with it at first, but it's one I put on frequently.

Happy Saturday!

Milani Hi-Res

Have you ever passed up on a color for months, and then when you finally decide to buy it you realize how silly you were for passing it up so many times? This is how I feel about the Milani 3D holographic colors. I passed up on these for ages. I didn't find them very interesting in the bottle. I was very wrong these are great!

Hi-Res

This is a lavender holographic glitter polish. This isn't a glitter as in the sense like mixed in glitter. I can't really describe it. It's not like China Glaze OMG collection holos, but like the Kaleidoscope collection holos. You can really see the hololgraphic action in this polish on the nails. I didn't really see this in the bottle, but it really surprised me on the nails. Fantastic color!! Silly me for not getting it sooner!

What is a polish you held back on buying, but wish you hadn't?

Happy Friday!

Giveaway Reminder!

I just wanted to remind everyone you have one more week to enter my giveaway!

No time for a post today. I have write an essay on Hamlet, and I'm experiencing major writer's block. I have a million ideas in my head, but I can't seem to condense it into something concise. Oy, I normally do not have trouble with writing, but I can't focus! Wish me luck!

Happy Thursday!

LGBT Spirit Day-Sinful Colors Let's Talk

A girl named Brittany McMillian two weeks ago decided to make October 20th "LGBT Spirit Day" to bring awareness to gay bullying because of the recent suicides. In honor of today people will be wearing purple. I decided to participate in this. I will be wearing purple today in my clothing and also on my nails.

I am not gay, but I have family members and friends who are. I know the struggles they have faced and will continue to face. I fully support them and love them for who they are. I fully support gay rights. I hope that in future that things will change. I also hope that bullying no matter your sexual orientation, weight, intelligence, race, height, religion, or whatever will be taken seriously. I posted on bullying recently, so I will not go into that again. I just wanted to show support for teens whose lives were cut short, their families, my gay friends, my gay family members, and the friends and families of them today.

Sinful Colors Let's Talk

Let's Talk is a vivid purple metallic shimmer. This is an intense purple that sadly my camera couldn't capture.

I think the name of this color is very fitting for today. It's amazing how much we can accomplish with effective communication. I feel like this is what is lacking when it comes to gay rights. People so easily spew out hatred, intolerance, and violence. It's seems like its easier to be that way, but it's cowardly. People need to get together and have conversations and share their stories. We need to have more heart to hearts. I encourage everyone today to spread awareness and have those difficult conversations whether it be about gay rights or any other important issue to you. Words have power!
