tokidoki: SANDy, Latte, & Donutella nail swatches

Hi! Long time no update. I haven't really had much to write about lately. I have some things I wanted to, but I haven't had the motivation to take pictures to go with them. So I thought I'd do a quick swatch entry.

I went to Sephora the other day and browsed through the tokidoki products. I actually never knew they had a small line of nail polish. They were all very pretty and I have a few that especially caught my eyes.  I just did a quick swatch to see what it looks like. There's no base color, each is only one coat, and no top coat. I know they're not a thorough swatch, but I just wanted an idea of what they'd look like on the nails.

SANDy is a glitter polish. It has pink and gold micro glitters along with gold and teal string glitters.

Next is Latte and Donutella. Latte has blue micro glitters with purple and gold string glitters. Donutella has red micro glitters with purple-magenta and white string glitters.

They were all easy to apply and the glitter is quite dense, but you'd need a base coat to make it look complete or 2-3 coats if worn alone.

Conclusion? I didn't buy any of them. Even though it looks as it does in the bottle, it just wasn't as appealing on the nail. It might have to do with the lack of a base color, so I wouldn't rule it out immediately if I were you. Sephora currently sells them for $6 each, which is pretty reasonable for nail polish, but not cheap enough for me to buy just because. I'd reconsider SANDy though, I think that one would be the easiest to work with.

Collection of Hauls!

My Sephora order came! I got a moisturizer for the bf and got myself a tokidoki perfume in Adieu. It's a very sweet smell, which I absolutely adore! I have all the mini-sized roller and this one is my favorite, so I decided to order it in full size.

There was a coupon for a Versace perfume which I got because it looked so cute LOL tbh, I don't even know what it smells like but it's so pretty! It's smaller than the size of a nail polish bottle. I also tried the Billionaire Boyfriend perfume and I didn't really like it. I tend to like light, sweet, or fruity sorts of perfume.

I was nearby this food court where I usually get random gachapons if they're cute (Winnie the Pooh, Hello Kitty...) I usually only get one from each collection, but when I saw these, I just HAD to get them all! I remember Pauline's (omgnoodles) post on her's recently, so it's such a coincidence! Mine are the newer ones with the erasers..I'd much rather get phone charms!

I actually only took 11 tries for all 7 colors :x I honestly think that's pretty good. For extras, I got pink (2), yellow, and red. I gave two of them away to friends. These will be going on display on my bookshelf! :)

I also went to a store and I found a Domo letter pad :) I collect stationary and would occasionally write to penpals, but not so much for the past year because they disappeared on me :T But if I ever saw cute stationary, I wouldn't pass on it :P

I ordered more Swarovski beads.. I got into them around December but never really made much. They're soo cute >__< I think I like buying them more than actually using them LOL

Okayy to end things, I dropped by Walgreens today to look for Sinful colors nail polish because they just came out with a few new colors and they're on sale for 99 cents. Unfortunately that Walgreens doesn't carry them anymore and there were only random ones here and there. 

And to my surprise I found the Essie nail polish that I've searched all over for!! I never thought of looking at Walgreens because I didn't know that they carried Essie, but yay! I also picked up a shimmery red and orange.
