Today's Target Haul!

Happy Friday everyone and yay for a beautiful fall weekend!

Today my family (Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister) left to go to Lansing, Michigan for the weekend. My brother is graduating from law school on Sunday, which is awesome, but I am not able to go because I have far too much school work to do. I'm a little sad that I am missing out but I think I made a responsible decision.

It is a bit boring here without my sister and I really do not feel like starting my work quite yet, so to remedy my boredom I went to Target to check out their nail polish and I picked a few things up!

The first thing I picked up from Target was an e.l.f nail polish set. I've thought about getting this a few times before but just never did. I could not pass it up today though because the set was on sale for $2.50! It usually retails for $5.00, good deal.

The set came with four colors. Two of them are creme polishes and the other two are shimmer polishes. 

The first color is simply called Nude, which is exactly what it is. It is a peachy, pink creme polish that would be a great color for everyday wear.

The second creme polish is called Smokey Brown. The name is true to the color, it is a light brown that is almost kind of mauve-y too. I can't wait to wear this color! I think it will be a perfect color for fall which is great since tomorrow is the first day of fall!

This color is called Party Purple. It is a deep, shimmery, purple. This is not my favorite out of the bunch, but I am sure it will still get a lot of use. 

The last color, which is my favorite out of the set, Smokey Brown coming in at a very close second, is called Dark Navy. Again the name is pretty true to the color. It is a dark, shimmery, navy polish and I love it. I am also excited to use this one but I may wait till it's closer to December since it reminds me of winter a little bit. 

Last but not least I saw this polish and just had to pick it up. I am a sucker for black based polishes with little chunks of glitter in it. I saw this and started painting my nails with it in the store. This color is called Twlight Rays. I really love this polish but I really hate the name since I am not a Twlight fan in the least. This is my favorite polish that I picked up today and am really pumped to wear it!  

Cynthia Rowley Nail Polish Sets

I LOVE TJ MAXX!! It is like my secret designer nail polish spot. I used to never find nail polish at TJ Maxx. Every once in a while they would have a set of obnoxious neon colors by a brand I'd never heard of but lately it seems they are always having awesome nail polish deals.

Today I am going to show you two sets of polish I picked up from TJ Maxx a while back that I absolutely love! They are by the fashion designer Cynthia Rowley. I know that the nail polish brand Zoya had bottles of polish for Cynthia Rowley and that Cynthia Rowley had "nail stickers" but I was not aware that she had bottles of polish...until I found these.

Here they are! I can't find these online anywhere so I do not know what they would regularly retail for. The first three bottles in the picture I got for $6.99 and the last two were in a separate set for $5.99 ((I think)). Also, None of these polishes have names to them but that doesn't really bother me. 

The first color is a super bright neon pink. I don't normally go for neon polishes but I kinda dig this one and I intend on swatching this polish ASAP. Maybe even tomorrow though the cut on finger still really hurts =( 

The next color is a bright almost neon blue. Love! The polish looks a little soft in the picture but its much brighter than this. I thought it was close to a Tiffany blue when I first saw it but I compared it to one of my T&Co. boxes and this color is much darker. 

This color is also another bright one but I wouldn't consider it a neon. It is a coral color and I cannot wait to wear it. I think it's a perfect color for summer since it is more of an orange color than a pink color. 

The first polish that came in the second set I bought was this gorgeous shimmery pink. I haven't worn this yet but it seems like it will have a metallic like finish to it. 

The last polish I have for you is this soft pastel pink color. I love this color and can't wait to swatch it! 

If you are ever looking for nice nail polish for a good price, check out TJ Maxx. I usually find their polish on a small display stand next to the jewelry ((almost always by the dressing rooms)) but in other TJ Maxx stores I have found it mixed in with the make-up, hair products and perfume, so you may have to hunt for it. 

Jessica Cosmetics polish set

Hello and happy Thursday! Today I have a super exciting post about an awesome deal that my sister got for me at our all time favorite store, TJ Maxx!! My sister gives me a lot of crap about my nail polish "addiction" but I know that she supports it since she buys me nail polish a lot. Here is what she picked up for me at TJ Maxx.

This is a package of five, FIVE, full sized bottles of Jessica nail polish for $5.99!!! In stores a single bottle of this polish can retail anywhere between $7.50 to $10.00!! This deal is mind blowing!

That's five .5 FL OZ bottles of nail polish! 

This wonderful blue shimmer polish is Scene Stealer and is part of the Paint the Town collection. I love this polish because it has a nice blue-green shimmer to it and mostly because it comes in a little paint can! So cute! 

Here is Sunrise. This is a lovely bronze brown color with multi-color shimmer in it. I will be all over this polish in the fall!

This color is called Chilled Chambord. This is a bright red polish with red shimmer. I found this color to be a very appropriate one for me not only because I love the color red but also because Chambord is one of my favorite liqueurs.

Natural Beauty is a simple peach shimmer. It is a little sheer so it would probably take three coats to get a nice looking manicure.

Last but not least is the Brilliance High Gloss in a Flash top coat. I love this top coat! This is my third bottle of it. The gloss finish is like glass over your nails and it dries quickly making every manicure look that much more amazing.

Thanks to my sister I now have 296 bottles of nail polish and it seems that I'll be hitting my 300th bottle of polish very soon!!

Sinful Colors- Midnight blue & China Glaze Luxe and Lush

Good afternoon! Today I have another manicure that I did a while ago, while my nails were still super long, and when all I had to take pictures with was the crappy little camera on my BlackBerry. I did this manicure around the same time I did the one that I posted yesterday. Apparently I was really into the accent nail look.

Again Sorry for the crappy quality!

I really liked this manicure, the Midnight Blue has a wonderful shimmer to it which is hard to see in this picture. But the real beauty in this manicure is China Glaze-Luxe and Lush. When I first saw this color online I knew that one day it would be mine! Luxe and Lush is from their Hunger Games collection and it is GORGEOUS!! I love, love, love this color! The flakes are perfect and have a lovely pastel shimmer to them that is to die for. 

For this Manicure I decided to put New York Colors Matte Me Crazy top coat over my nails. This gave Luxe and Lush a completely different effect, the flakes were like little rainbow embers on my nail. It looked fantastic and again, this picture just does not do the polish justice. 

Sinful Colors Combo!

Good Morning! Today I am going to post my first nail polish swatch! So Exciting! I am going to apologize now for the quality of the picture, it is really rather pathetic. After the first couple posts I will be using a different camera which will hopefully capture the beauty and shine of the polish better than the camera on my BlackBerry.

For this manicure I used two different colors from Sinful Colors. The base coat on all the nails is called Athens, part of the Sinful Colors Cast Away collection. I have always liked the formula for sinful colors polish and this one was no exception. Athens is a very nice creme polish, it went on easy and I had full coverage with two coats.

The color on the accent nail is Green Ocean. I am not sure what collection this is from but I purchased it around St. Pattys day. -If anyone knows what collection it is from I would really appreciate it if you let me know! =]- This color was not so easy to work with. It is pretty globby and took a while to get the coverage I wanted. However, it was worth it. This flakey polish is so sparkly, it's awesome! The picture really does not do the color justice.

This picture is a bit old, I did this manicure a few weeks after I purchased the Green Ocean polish, and my nails are not that long anymore. =( I loved having these awesomely long nails but they were just too hard to manage so I filed them down a bit to avoid breaking them as often.

Well that is it for today! Tomorrow I should have another post of a manicure I did a while back and then, fingers crossed, I'll be post more pictures, and better quality pictures.
