a day late and a buck short, but atleast i got it!

i just want to write first at how much i LOVE rite aid. i mean really, what other store would let you buy polishes, try them and then take them back when you realize that you either hate them or you have 4 others just like it. :) so, i was there yesterday, returning about 8 polishes and replacing them with new ones. these are what i got:


those last ones...yah...they are EXACT dupes of Deborah Lippmann polishes. now, i know i know you already know this. and yes, revlon is kinda scummy for doing something like this. i mean, really revlon? exact copies?! well, be that as it may, i still bought them. why, because times are tough and i sure as hell cant afford a 25$ bottle of polish when i can buy a 5$ one that is exactly the same. (and yes, i shop at walmart too!). :P

so anyway, this is what i did with them:



i used sally hansen's "blue-away" as a base for the revlon whimsical. i love it. although, it is more...easter-y than i wished for. the formula was actually quite good though, the only thing was that you have to know about how much glitter you have on the polish otherwise you might not get any, but i hear the same about "glitter in the air" too.
then i accented my fingers with sally hansen's "pacific blue" and coated on a good layer of "glass slipper".

now, on to glass slipper. i was never going to buy this colour. to be honest, it really didnt excite me much. it just looked like milky crap in a pretty bottle. and then, after i bought "black tie" from the same collection, i definitely wasnt going to buy it. (that is a whole 'nother post). but, i kept readying people absolutely loving it, so...i bought it. and im glad i did. it is SO pretty. it really is. perfect little flakies that make it look like it snowed on my fingers. it applied quite nicely with one thick coat. im loving it. so...go buy it. :P

all in all, a good haul i think.
