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!  

Essie-Absolutely Shore

Hello and good morning! Finally I have a swatch to post! I did take pictures of a few manicures that I had done while I was at the cabin but the pictures just did not turn out that great. I should really ask for a new camera for Christmas, or a new phone with a better camera.

Today I have Essie's Absolutely Shore which I purchased a while back at TJ Maxx for only $3.99. Essie nail polish usually retails from $7.75-$8.00, so four bucks is a darn good deal.

I Looooooove this color! I actually wore it for about four days, which is a long time for me. The Essie website describes this color as "a soft sea foam green" which is pretty much how I would describe it.

This is a creme polish and I used three coats plus a top coat in these pictures. I feel that I would also describe this color as a light mint color because sometimes when I look at it, it looks like a really soft, pale shade of blue.

The polish went on smoothly and dried pretty fast. I used to think Essie polish was a waste of money since the bottles of polish are only .46 fl oz instead of the normal .5 fl oz, but as long as I can keep getting them for four dollars at TJ Maxx instead of eight I'll think they are a good investment. This is only my third bottle of Essie nail polish.
