Chanel Peridot (finally)

I know i'm late to jump on the Peridot bandwagon, but better late than never! I picked this beauty up while on my vacation in Florida last week. We went to this mall that was pretty upscale, and I passed this on the way in, and decided to pick it up on the way out. I had always planned on getting it, but didn't want to pay shipping, so I was glad I could finally find it in a store. No way in hell any store around here would carry Chanel lol.

It is really a beautiful polish. I don't need to describe it, because pictures speak for themselves. It's just gorgeous, and the formula is very nice. Here are the pics!

Stormy Blue Ombre NOTD

This was my first time doing ombre. I never used to like the look of it, but it's kinda grown on me. I still much prefer gradients though, but this is nice for something a little different. It was kind of a PITA though because I ended up mixing the colours to get the right effect, and that was kind of messy. I look forward to doing more though, where I don't have to mix!

Polishes Used:


(L-R): Urban Outfitters Crowded, Ulta Bam-Blue-Zled, Icing My Blue Heaven (one of my favorite colours), and ChG franken

Wet N' Wild Ice Baby: Cost Is No Issue

When I first saw these nail polishes at Walgreens, I was initally excited of course, that is until I realized they are exact dupes of Nails Inc 3D glitters. Luckily I had only purchased one of the Nails Inc polishes, so I didn't kick myself too hard. I only picked up Cost Is No Issue, but I plan on getting maybe 1 or 2 more. This is a vivid aqua glitter with slightly larger bright blue glitter throughout. It really is gorgeous, and eyecatching. I used 2 coats over 1 coat Sally Hansen Insta Dri polish in Mint Sprint
