finger paints and breast cancer awareness

if you know about nail polish and are in the US, you probably know about Sally Beauty supply. they carry tons of awesome brands of everything you could ever want, makeup, nail polish, hair care, and salon supplies. they exclusively carry a brand of nail polish called Finger Paints, that i've shown a few times before. in october, in honor of breast cancer awareness month, Sally Beauty will make a $65,000 donation to Cancer Support Community. they are committed to helping ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community.

Finger Paints is putting out two pink colors starting October 1, 2010 (in stores and online) to help bring awareness to the cause, I'm A Survivor and I Pink I Can.

this is a cause that is close to my heart as i, and i'm sure a lot of you, have loved ones that have been afflicted and affected with this disease.

nicole hint of mint

nicole by opi's hint of mint really put the moves on me, i'll tell you what. this little lady snuck right in under my nose and just about knocked me over with gorgeous! a mint shade that i do not have??? the horror! haha, and i don't have a lot of nicole polishes because they usually don't wow me all that much and they are a bit expensive, but this one just made me jump for joy. it's a different take on the mint scene, with a more sheer and almost pearl ethereal finish but i love it.  very flattering and NOT limited edition, but i think it is exclusive to walmart.  this is three coats.

banana puddin' & haul

i have a big wish list. i don't think i'm aspiring too high or something like that, i just like to know what i want! keeping track of them in a spreadsheet is the way i've found to organize them, to help me keep them in mind so eventually i will get to them haha. it's like keeping a goal list or something. because it's easy to say oh yeah i want that one day but then forget about it and then come across it someday and pass it by :P anyway, my point is that i have gotten a few of my "wish list" items recently and i'm pretty excited about it.

perhaps my FIRST lemming since i started blogging is maybelline banana puddin'. it's long discontinued and hard to find. the sexy pale creamy custardy yellow creme is very milky and slightly sheer, but i was prepared for that. this is 5 coats, and you can see the weird imploded trapped bubbles below the topcoat but i don't care haha. this color does not disappoint at all and i feel like it's very flattering on me.

i got some nail mail today and wanted to share some pictures with you. i wanted to mention that these are all from my new camera, which i'm still getting used to. it's a canon sx210 powershot and i am not quite sure if i like it yet, but i'm getting close.

this is another one of my hugest lemmings, opi ds fantasy. a gorgeous dark blue with the diamond dust holo glitter. *siiiiiiigh*

this polish is called opi at your quebec & call, from the canada collection back in the day. another one of my hugest wants! it's an awesome olive golden green with shimmer.

i also got some amazing streetwear polishes from Claudia over at Chromatic Misadventures, thanks girl! i seriously think they should be making more polishes like this, bring back the brand revlon!

i was also VERY happy to see a sweet package on my porch when i got home from CND with some polishes to review. i have to say i love their bottle design, but i haven't tried a lot of their stuff. excited to see how they work out.

welp, that's the all i have to show you today :) did you enjoy? how do the pictures look, i'm still a bit worried about it o_O have a great weekend everyone *kisses*

orly cosmic fx preview

**this post is being re-uploaded from being posted previously july 20th**

i was shocked and awed to come home tuesday to find this package waiting for me. orly's HUGELY highly anticipated fall collection, Cosmic FX (a.k.a. Cosmix). i'll have full swatches done for you soon, but wanted to give you a preview until they get done :)

ORLY introduces its latest addition to its portfolio of textured finishes with Cosmic FX. The new, limited-edition collection delivers multi-dimensional flashes of intense shimmering shine that is so electrifying your nails will explode with color! This lighting phenomenon is achieved by ORLY’s exclusive MINERAL FX technology.

The innovation infuses natural rock minerals, crystals, and glass to give nails a special optical effect with extreme luster, rich pearlescence, and a smooth, sparkling spectrum of concentrated color.

The MINERALFX technology includes specialty mica, that allows for a clearer, vibrantly bright lustrous shimmer. Crystals allow for a multi-dimensional color transformation. Glass particles carefully controlled in shape and size create a luminous phenomenon. This combination infused with the Silica and specific colors selected create this exclusive technology that gives nails a unique optical effect that’s magnified as the lighting source intensifies or viewing angle changes.
