Mon Cherry part 2, CVS Haul,Max's Art!

Took another shot of Mon Cherry, because that last one was pants, just didn't look right! And...it's on the green metallic backdrop which for no reason find amusing.



Here's my CVS haul, click on if you'd like to see it larger.



Had to pick up a scrip and thought, wow excuse to peruse for nail polish. I got Poshe top coat, was cheaper than Seche, think it was on sale. Also one of the Sally Hansen Insta Dri's in Blue Streak and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Lime Lights, I adore that sort of shimmery green, it isn't always the most flattering but it is so cute!


What all else, oh a replacement mascara. Had meant to do a review of Max Factor's 2K Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper saturday and that afternoon before snaps were made I fell prey to the pink eye that'd been going round the house, no amount of hand washing and Purell action worked. I thought I'd evasion +1 too. lol. So I had to toss that mascara, was going to rep it but saw this new Revlon mascara called DoubleTwist. The wand is interesting it looks like a combo of a bristle brush with the newer soft plastic style intertwined. So looking forwards to trying it once I'm sure the conjunctevitus has cleared completely. Not fun, I can tell you! First time in all my years I've ever had it. Not a fan! XD


Oh, and I promised my nephew to feature his artwork, and here is the little charmer with a picture he drew of his favorite wrestler, Jeff Hardy, replete in face paint. He's got a few more that are fantastic of Hardy as well ^^



Max is standing in front of my nerd nook. *^^*;

Revlon Mon Cherry Scented Polish

Finally got around to trying Revlon's Mon Cherry, faint cherry smell here. Not entirely sure that I'm keen on the shade, think it is more of a pedi one for me. This is just missing some pop, it's nice though. Oh, sorry for another half moon mani, but when my nails are long it is all I can do to not rock a half moon mani. lol. Might retake the picture again tonight, it is all wonky.


Blech, raining up a storm today.



My bottle of KO Liberty is on it's way, so says the email. Can not wait for this one!


Because of that purchase have made it a no buy this month, unless I find those new Sally Hansen Insta Dry new shades! Must resist. Must resist.


For fun thought I'd put a video in this post, one of my fav. HorrorPops songs, 'Where you can't follow' ^^ Love that Patricia Day, she's amazing.

Petite Haul,Mad About Mango Polish, Smith's Lippy

Humming, coming atcha. Or something.


Righty, here's Mad About Mango, another of Revlon's scented line. I was surprised how well I liked it on, it pools a bit, but more fault lays with the fact of my application, must try and master applying above instead or right down in there. The scent, well it smells like any and all kinds of Hubba Bubba gum, ever, stronger than Not so Blue-Berry that's for sure. ^^



Here's my petite Nyx haul, three polishes that came in a box that could have shipped twenty, lol. These are gorgeous.



From left to right is Titanic,Purple Avenue and Asphalt. I'd had to have Asphalt after seeing swatches, anything black and with any hint of rainbow I must get my greedy mitts on.


Decided to try on Purple Avenue first, it has this amazing large chunky holographic glitter, reminds me of some Nfu Oh's. I'm wearing three coats and it gives this light flush of purple to the nails, I like how subtle it is. Bet this would be forgiving if you chipped it. Also this would make a dead lovely top coat. But I do recommend a clear coat over it, not from lack of shine but that not all the glitter lays flat, it is more of a bumpy texture.



Lastly, have to go on about Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm.



I didn't take a picture inside, because the pot has seen a lot of use and you don't need to see that lol. Horrors! But I must say how lovely it feels, there is a hint of peppermint that isn't over bearing and rose oils. The shade is a reddish pink that goes on quite sheer for just a tint of pink, it moisturizes and is glossy. Lips feel very kissy in it. (Is that a word? XD) Highly recommend it!

Not So Blue-Berry polish

Meant to post this yesterday. Not So Blue-Berry indeed, it is definitely more on the foil violet side. Hmm, need a new background for pics, that shiny green is getting kinda blech and I think well clashes with most of the things put up against it. lol. Scent wise, this one is very faint even whilst applying; I'll take faint, better than cloying or chemically smelling any day!

Scented Raspberry Rapture Polish

Righty, here's Revlon's scented Raspberry Rapture. (reminds me of my mum saying raaahhssssspberry) Pre clean up shot because there's more to try on! (boing /call 19) Mad about Mango is calling my name. Just remembered they didn't have any of the Pretty in Papaya left. Oh wells, that was more than a fair share of haul. lol. Onto the scent, it is just this side of candy raspberry scent, I quite like it. The scent isn't super heavy or cloying. Really strong when applying it however, but it dries down to be quite nice. You aren't wafting it around but it is a pleasant whiff here and there. Can't wait to try the others both for shade and scent.



Not quite sure what I rotted my middle finger on, but owch, maybe a paper cut gone awry or something.

Zoinks, Revlon Scented Polish Locked and Loaded!

Guess what I finally found in stock. Oh, it's tharr in the title,innit? Oh well. I found them, the wicked scented Revlon collection and I must say they are foxy as all get out. Click on the small pic for a larger one.



Boing! I really like Mad about Mango, for trying first it is tied between that and Mon Cherry. Not So Blue-Berry is toes bound. lol.


I really need to be on a no buy, that was just woof.
