New Glitter Polishes Added to My Collection

I actually purchased these back in March, but was too lazy to finish the post, so I'll just publish what I have D: 
Revlon: Ritzy || Sally Hansen: Mermaid's Tale | Supernova
Finally after looking for a while I spotted Mermaid's Tale at CVS and they were running a promo for $5 Extrabucks with a $10 purchase, and since the polish was made up a majority of that, I picked up Supernova as well. I feel like my Jordana LA City Lights is already pretty similar to it though, but I had nothing else to get. I saw Ritzy on a display a few months back and didn't get it, but found it on sale too, so picked it up :D

Here are some close ups:
This post was intended to be a nail polish haul entry, so sorry that it's so empty T__T

Sally Hansen Hard As Nail Ice

Hi :) So today I have a swatch for everyone. Not really the best photos, but bear with me ^^

I purchased Ice last year during a sale at CVS for 75% the original price. On the bottle, it's a light pink frosty color. If you look closely, there's a hint of fine, shimmer.

The color wasn't as pink on the nail as on the bottom, but you can definitely see the pink there. It's a frosty finish, so the brush strokes are really obvious, as you can see on my photos. It sorta reminds me of a pearl and very, very slight metallic finish, but I'm no expert, so I won't say positively.

Anyways, it's a very pretty color, just I dunno why it looked so beat up once it dried :\

Here's a bottle shot before I end the post so you can see how there's more pink in it:

Random Haul.. From Months Ago

These buys were from back in May-June. I've always had a draft but never actually posted anything -__- So here's a quick haul. 

Wet n Wild Megalast: Under Your Spell | On a Trip | Pinktana $0.99/each
Under Your Spell: A nice, vampy red. Perfect for the winter.
On a Trip: It's a nice purple. Less blue in person. Here's a mani that I did with it.
Pinktana: Very pink nudeish color. Err.. I'm pretty sure I used it after getting it. It wasn't really that hard to get it to be opaque. Will do a swatch next time.

Sally Hansen: Crackled Antiqued Gold | Diamond Strength Pink Promise $1
Antiqued Gold: Crackles are sooo last year.. but I picked it up because it was cheap and I wanted to try some designs out of it. I haven't actually used it yet though.
Pink Promise: Nothing unique about it. Haven't used it yet, but it's a deep, not dark, pink with shimmers.

Err.. random stuff I bought just to mess around with. They were all $1 each.

I dropped the white shadow after getting home and it basically shattered all over inside before I even opened it.. Poop :( 

Okay, sorry such a boring post, but I wanted to get it out of the way xD And just wanted to do a quick update anyways.

Quick nail polish haul & food updates!

Happy Sunday! Here's a quick post on a recent nail polish haul. I got the WetnWild ones because they were on sale last week for $1.50 each at CVS :)
Did I Dye It Too Blonde? | Show Me the Money | Are Mermaids Real? | I’m Ba-roque | Shrimp on the Barbie
The pictures do them no justice, they're so pretty in real person, especially the last one! It's more of a salmon color with gold shimmers, but you can't really tell in the pic.
Zoya: Kym | Maisie | Sally Hansen: Seaside
I got the Zoya earlier last week. Kym is a pretty shimmery red and Maisie is from their new Flecks Collection, so yay another flakie! All my colors this week are like shimmery :x And the Sally Hansen is the one I mentioned in my last post where I got it for $1 in Canada.
Lastly, here's something to drool over :D CURRY!! I don't remember what they were :x Okay, honestly it's not as good as it looks probably because I was getting full by the time this was served. I was snacking on mini muffins and chips right before going there. And as appetizer they served salad and miso soup, soo yeah. But I'm eating it as I type this haha :D (because I packed it up)

Anyways, I'll update again later next week. Hoping to change my nails..but too lazy to remove mine especially because it's so glittery! Any ideas on a nail design?

Research Paper WHYY

I have my 12-15 page research paper due tomorrow! :( So I'll be staying up all night finishing it. I still have to redo my draft too (which needs to be handed in) because it's too sloppy -__- I didn't get much sleep last night either, maybe around 3-4 hours, so I just wanna go nap. I'll probably be catching on sleep in class tomorrow.

I also did my nails last night when I should've been studying for my economics final, which I totally bombed. Today just isn't a good day for me :( During lunch, a girl walked right into me, so my food got all over me.. After wiping it off and getting a new plate of food, ANOTHER GIRL WALKS INTO ME -__- Luckily this time the food didn't spill, but I would've been very upset if it did :(
Anyways, here are the nails! I used a dark green base for this (Sally Hansen Insta-dri Jumpin Jade) and topped it with Jordana Celestial. I didn't like the Sally Hansen. For one, the brush was too wide, so I made a mess on my nails..and it also took pretty long to dry, contrary to its name. :\ So it didn't dry until the next morning, so it was my mistake to use two coats when one was enough because the glitter would've covered over it anyways. It looks black in person/in pictures, but before the glitter, you can see that it's a dark green. But after applying it, I thought that I might as well have just applied a black coat instead.

After work, instead of doing my paper....I made chicken noodle soup with the bf! 

Okay...back to my paper. I have class in less than 2 hours! AH! Bye!!
