NOTD: Sally Hansen Mermaid's Tale

This looks so similar to the Deborah Lippmann Across The Universe polish to me! It has the blue and green glitter chunks with blue micro glitter with a thin navy polish in between. I have that layered over my OPI Live and Let Die polish for a base color. The glitter coat took two coats to get the glitter all over like I wanted to. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is at a very reasonable price that I think it's a great alternative to a $16 bottle of polish!

Also, my cuticles are all beat up from this winter air. Anyone know of an excellent cuticle cream/oil?

NOTD: OPI Skyfall Tomorrow Never Dies

Hello! This polish is apart of the OPI Skyfall collection. It's a beautiful purple with a navy blue tone in it. It shines beautifully in any light and looks perfect in two coats. The first coast is thin and very light but the second is dark and beautiful. It can sometime be described as the color "blurple" which I can definitely see. It's a great compliment to my yellow undertone.

NOTD: OPI Skyfall Collection Live and Let Die

I know I'm late on this collection, but I found them (finally) at a little salon at a great deal. Buy one get two free! One of the gorgeous colors I nabbed was Live and Let Die.

A gorgeous deep navy with bright green shimmer. It's the same color on the nail as in the bottle. In the sun, it seems like it's a navy-green color. It's still pretty. Woo! It's very opaque and I would have gone with just one coat, but my ridges were coming through and I don't have a ridge filler. It's dark, but beautiful. OPI is a nice brand, of course, so naturally I expect this to wear for a while.

NYX Nude on Nude palette!

I have heard a little bit around the internet about this new nude palette by NYX Cosmetics called Nude on Nude. This palette comes in a brown plastic case with "20 Deliciously Gorgeous Eye Shadows" and "10 Perfectly Chosen Lip Colors for Nude on Nude Look" I snagged this beauty for $24.99 at my local Ulta store.

NOTD: L'Oréal #123 don't hate me cuz

This is my first L'Oréal polish and I'm in LOVE! It's a gorgeous silver metallic with gold tones. It looks exactly like the bottle! It went on beautifully in one coat, but I did two coats just to be safe. The finish is liquid-y like usual polishes, but more like a matte polish with light reflection. The name of this polish is really dumb, but I love love love this color. And at $4.99 for 0.39 fluid ounces, I'm a happy girl.

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara

Now, I know this product has been on the market and more variations have been produced, but I've finally used up my tube and I have to say, I loved it! I got the black/brown color but I wish I had gotten the regular black color. It has a curved brush with tiny bristles in the curve and regular length bristles everywhere else. The configuration is supposed to help add length to create the false lash look. And it really does work! The package recommended not applying multiple layers and to get it all in one coat. I assume that is because it will take off the dried mascara you just put on.

Misleading Product Alert!

I found some sites buzzing about the CoverGirl Smoothers "BB Cream" not being a bb cream at all. And I can say that these reviews are true. Though, it's not completely CG's fault for me buying this, after all, it does say tinted moisturizer right underneath bb cream. I overlooked that and I wish I didn't.
