Claire's - Candy Shop

I suppose Deborah Lippmann could take it as a compliment that her polishes have been duplicated so often these days. Yesterday I showed you a Revlon take on one of her creations, and today it's a Claire's version of her pink glitter bomb. Candy Shop by Claire's is a dupe to Lippmann's Candy Shop. They really pulled out some creativity on this one huh? Haha. This is three coats.

You can get this at Claire's retail stores for about $5. They always have a BOGO 50% off sale on cosmetics, so be sure to take advantage of that.

claire's magic

claire's magic is probably one of my absolute favorite nail polishes ever. it's deep glowy purple that has an awesome flash, almost like the ember of a burning fire. i think you can still get this at claire's stores every now and then, you just have to look. i've bought this as presents for many friends, and have two bottles of my own! i love it that much! this is three coats. it sort of reminds me of sally hansen x-treme purple pizazz but more opaque and no gobblety sparkles. just pure lovely polish. loves :D

long week

finally some nail polish pictures!!!

here is my first kaleidoscope from china glaze, kaleidoscope him out. lovely light blue holo. i'm flabbergasted that this collection is discontinued. it's positively orgasmic. polish-gasmic. (excuse my french, miss manners) i did not get the drag i expected from this collection, à la the OMG collection problem-o's (at least for me). great application. and i loved this so much i wore it for three straight days!! zomg.the next one is claire's goldmine, a gold polish with crystaly flecks and holo glitter. la la loved it! fun and slightly less blingy than expected on the nail, but it's cool cuz sometimes understated is the statement you want to make, am i right? super duper easy to apply also. this is three coats. a bit rough to the touch, but a few thick coats of topcoat should take care of that if it bothers you. i wore this mani for two days! school is really taking a toll on my polish changing habits...and a kelliegonzo classic in the making essie cantaloupe, which i think i've heard is discontinued but i was able to get from transdesign. i heard about it from a fellow blogger (i can't recall who, sorry!) and i can see why it is a must have. great pinky melon color, perfect for any occasion. great essie formula, went on like butter. two coats i believe.
more more more to come!! here's a little polish porn to get you in the mooood for looove. (these are not my possessions but my fellow polish-addict friend's which i'm borrowing for a while YAY!)
