March/April Haul
Whew! Really been buying way too much stuff!
Tokidoki Robbery Palette - I've been contemplating this purchase for a long time but I saw it on sale for $25 so I decided it was finally time. I really like all the colors!
Urban Decay Show Pony palette - Six pretty colors, a travel-size 24/7 pencil in Zero, and a mini Primer Potion, all on sale at sephora.com for $16!
Essie It's Genius, China Glaze LOL, China Glaze Gamer Glam - Got the Essie on sale at Trade Secret and the CGs on ebay.
Cover Girl - Found Midnight Forest and Sand at the Dollar Tree ($1 for both!) and the other two were purchased on ebay.
Cover Girl Orange Slush, Pink Ice, Arctic, and Krypton-Ice - ebay
Chameleon Blue Sky, Calypso, Blue Frost, Galactic - According to the company's website, these can only be found at Rite Aid.
Chanel Mimosa - Love yellows, I hope this one has a Chanel-worthy formula.
Lippmann Bad Romance, Across the Universe, Lady Sings the Blues, Today Was a Fairytale - My first Lippmanns! Of course I would go for all the glitter, haha.
MAC Little Girl Type and Ice Cream Cake - Pretty pastels! I returned Mischievous Mint.
Clarins Patient Pink, 230(!), Pink Shimmer - I bought 230 and the other two were included as free gifts. I will have to take some proper pictures some day, 230 really is as amazing as everyone says!
I was supposed to be banned until our vacation next week, but most of these were purchased with gift cards so it doesn't really count, right? :p

Black/Blue Mani
I did this one a while back but I wasn't very happy with it. Besides the fact that the overall look is kind of sloppy and random, the black acrylic powder I used to make the bow smeared everywhere. I had to paint over some parts with the nail polish again, making it look really messy.

The base is Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau. I did the bow on my pointer using acrylic powder and the one on my ring finger is just hex glitter pieces and a black rhinestone in the center. The lace parts are stickers.
Definitely not my best work but oh well, you learn from experience.

OPI Dazzle Me over American Apparel Office
I think that my biggest nail polish love is light blue, but mint green is up there too; I have sooo many! Anyway, a friend of mine gifted me with OPI Dazzle Me, silver shimmer/microglitter in a pale green-tinged base. I thought this would be perfect over a mint green, so I wore it over AA Office:

I think this is two coats of Dazzle Me over two or three coats of Office. I really like this combo, it gives a bit more visual interest to a plain cream. Very nice topper.
