I think this is probably two of the most popular polishes for Halloween this year... Initially, I wasn't interested in the LE Wicked Boxed Set but then I saw all of the posts out there in Nailand and realized that these are actually really great.

Roguish Red is a Reddish Orange or Orange Red (whichever you prefer). It is very similar to my all time favorite Essie, Escapades; Roguish Red is just a tad lighter and brighter. Formula is thin and can cause issues with cuticle pooling if you are not careful, but thin coats are no problem with this polish. At 2 coats a little bit of visible nail line is peeking through but I'm not bothered by it. The brush is very good with this polish too; it fans out over the nail nicely. It dried quickly to a shiny finish.

Glitter Goblin is a very dense glitter that consists of small orange glitter and small silver holo glitter. As per the usual with China Glaze there are no varying sizes of glitters or anything, but the silver holo glitter is a nice addition. I used 1 very light coat over Roguish Red and I still got quite a lot of glitter. I think you could get this glitter opaque in 2 - 3 coats. It dried quickly and the finish was only slightly gritty; I only need 1 coat of Seche Vite to smooth it all out.

These two make a very fun combo. I'm going to be adding some stamping to this so stay tuned!


Look at this lovely bottle shot of Glitter Goblin!

    Thanks, girl!

    I know, I think Pom Trees are so festive... Dark green foliage with bright red fruit... it's like I have a holiday tree in my backyard! I love to give them to my Aunt Karen so she can make Pomegranate Jelly; YUM! But, I think she gets tired of me leaving her to do all the work... HA!

Salon Perfect, Kaboom and Shocked.

I've got two of the new Neon Collision polishes from Salon Perfect. Kaboom. 3 coats. Shocked. 3 coats. On a trip to my local Walmart I got super lucky and found an enormous cardboard display the size of a SmartCar full of these Salon Perfect polishes. Because it is so rare to find a full collection/display at my particular Walmart, I went ahead and bought all 6. For me that's really not that crazy because I love matte glitter. Plus, the price point is excellent; $3.99 ea. However, I did post a picture as I was standing in the checkout line stating I needed an intervention. Soon after that I put myself on a No-Buy. No polish purchases until July 12th. Then, I will reward myself... Hee Hee Hee. The formula on these is tricky. Let's start with Kaboom; an awesome mix of blue and lime green matte glitters. This resembles a popular indie we all know and love called 'Floam' . It's probably the Holy Grail of polish. I don't own it but I own some of the o...

China Glaze, Red Satin.

China Glaze, Red Satin. 3 coats.  Sunlight.  I've been a little obsessed with red polish lately. It all started when I was looking for a good red polish and I realized that a good chunk of my red collection was not cruelty free. So, I began my hunt to find cruelty free replacements. Luckily, we have a huge surplus of great reds in current collections. Red Satin is one of the reds I decided to add to my collection. It came from China Glaze's Holiday 2012 Collection with quite a few other great reds. This one is a bit different because it is a jelly finish. It gives a nice squishy appearance on the nail yet builds up to opacity nicely in 3 coats. I highly recommend letting each coat dry thoroughly before adding the next. The formula is a little on the thin side and you need to be careful in application to avoid pooling at the cuticle. Dry time did take significantly longer due to the need for 3 coats, but I kind of feel it was worth it. Red Satin looks quite similar to...

Review: Cover FX BB Gel, Mattifying Anti-Blemish Treatment.

Image
It's always been a battle for me to find a good foundation. Between adult acne, acne scars, redness, enlarged pores, under eye circles, deep lines, and an Oily T-Zone... I'm screwed. Ha! Ha! Sorry, you just gotta laugh. I mean, if I ever find anyone with more going on I would have no choice but to cry for them. I also have the annoying issue of my skin sometimes deciding to change its mind during season changes. I can go 6 months with incredibly oily skin and then wake up one morning with my skin so tight and dry it feels like it's about to tear. I sometimes battle dry patches on my chin and by my lips. Which makes no since because I always wear lip balm, moisturizer, and my T-Zone is often so oily you can oil up a hinge with the oil on my face by 3pm.  I've been hearing raving reviews all over the blogosphere about Cover FX products so when I heard they were coming out with this new BB Gel I instantly knew I would be ordering it.  Now, this product is not cheap at $4...
