L.A Colors Metallic Polish

So by now we have all come to learn that Rachel has a new problem/ addiction to go along with her cosmetics problem... NAIL ART stuff. Last week I went to my CVS to fill a prescription and i love doing that because they give me 20 minutes to look around while i wait. I went straight to cosmetics, i looked around and then i said hmm what about nail polishes. Then this bad boy caught my eye! L.A Colors Metallic Polish, There are 4 polishes for $2.99! Tell me how I could pass that up?! The package does say they are limited edition, so i dont know how long they will be available so if you see them and want them, get them! I have been wanting to get some L.A Color polishes i just wasnt sure where to get them. I have been needing to check my Dollar Tree and see if they have some i just havent gotten around to it. I have never seen them at CVS so i thought it was pretty weird that they had this little package but i wasnt complaining i snatched it up along with a few other polishes (swatches of all my other polish sprees will be up soon)

Now to me..... they arent really "metallic" more like really glittery/shimmery. Its a matter of opinion i guess, to me what they call "chrome" is metallic the shiny mirror like polish. None of the polishes have names though which kind of sucks but i named them myself, we have Magenta, Deep Purple, Charcoal Black, and Teal. Not very inventive but it will help me indentify them. LOL



*FLASH*

Magenta: Its a violet hot pink with purple and blue reflects along with some silver shimmers. Its your basic hot pink though the reflects make somewhat desirable. I probably would want this polish but would wait on it for another more interesting unique color. Then again, im not much for pink.
*NO FLASH*

Deep Purple: This one i LIKE! Its this amazing purple with blue and silver glitters. You can see in the picture that it will probably take 3 coats to make it really opaque, i have 2 coats on and you can see the line of my nails free edge. Not very cute. Its a little less noticable without the flash but you can still kinda see it.
*NO FLASH*

*FLASH*
Charcoal Black: This is one of my favorites. Its gorgeous, but then its just a dark grey with ALOT of silver glitter and we all now how much i love glitter. This one i do consider metallic-ish, it has that look of metal vs the pink and purple polish. Its kind of cool because it catches a different color in different lights, it can look like a pale gold with silver. Yes... i may be a little color blind lol but i see it that way sometimes. i swear. lol

*FLASH*

*FLASH*
Teal: THIS one is my favorite! Its bright, colorful, glittery and eye catching! All of which i look for in anything i buy or put on my face. It has gold and silver glitter/reflects in it. This i also consider more metallic than the others. It has that heavy glitter metallic look to it. Not to mention the color is beautiful! I didnt mind or really notice the fact that I didnt have a polish this color but now that i have it im like "how the eff did i not want a color like this?!"
*NO FLASH*
Overall i really like these polishes, the brush on them isnt too small to complain about but its not OPI status either. They deliver great color for an awesome price! $2.99! GO GET THEM!!

New Pic For My Dream Board

OMFG RIGHT?!?! i was watching the Wendy Williams show today which i never do i am not a fan. She kind of annoys me, but Jennifer Love Hewitt was on today and she was talking about Taylor Lautner so i had to watch! and Jennifer Love Hewitt is gorgeously adorable and hilarious. thats besides the point.... Wendy was wearing these AMAZING heels!!! she had them in black and i was like OMFG! is she gonna say what heels shes wearing?! what really irritated me was that she made it a point for everybody to see them!! she had a "lil note to herself" in her heel so when she went to get it of course the camera shot her shoes and lil angels sang and my eyes lit up. of course she never said anything... so then JLH comes out ans shes in the same shoes but in a beige! like the ones shown above and then i was like ok for sure she will let us know what shoes they are! NO! they just talk about how "oh my god we are wearing the same shoes ahaha" im like hello!!! what are they!??!?! so i went on a mission to find them.... i went to her website and after much hunting i found out she has like a "what i wore on the show today" lil thing. and these GORGEOUS AMAZING BEAUTIFUL SHINY AWESOME STUNNING heels are: Christian Louboutin "Clou Noeud" Spike Pumps and my friends these heels will only run you $1195 at Barneys. :( yes i almost cried too. I WANT THEM SO BADLY IN EVERY COLOR THEY HAVE! so i guess ill be able to afford 1 pair in about 5 yrs! lol i was super obsessed with these shoes until i found out hw much they were. Now i have something else to add to my "dream board" and for those of you who can afford them...... im a size 9. LOL
