Random Recent Hauls

Hey Girlies!

I've gotten a little backlogged with successful polish hunts recently, so I've decided to purge several at once...here goes:

First a couple of dusties purchased from a salon in Cedar Hills Crossing:

China Glaze Pom Pom & China Glaze Cosmic

Both these shades are from China Glaze's Specialty Collection.....one of my favorite collections of all time!

The next 2 were purchased at Fred Meyer's.

LA Splash Baby Octopus

I love the pretty rainbows!!  Dancing prisms always remind me of Pollyanna!

My last Revlon scented polish!  Somehow I never got Pretty in Papaya, so I fixed that.  I have all the Revlon scented polishes so far with the exception of the beach and ocean scented ones....I love Strawberry Shortcake dolls and scented markers not the scented stickers of bizarre things!

From a different Fred Meyer's we have another LA Splash.

LA Splash Embellished

Absolutely breathtaking.  The swatch is droolworthy!

The next 2 are from Ulta:

Essence Irreplaceable & OPI DS Jewel

Both these polishes are incredibly hard to photograph.  Jewel is almost a wine color with an olive gold duochrome to it and Irreplaceable is a very light beige with subtle gold shimmer throughout.  

Another day at Ulta:

I picked up Essence Where Is The Party? 

a very pretty purple to teal to green multichrome

My first Glam Slam duo!  OPI Spark De Triomphe & OPI White Shatter

and Glam Slam duo #2 OPI Rally Pretty Pink and OPI Red Shatter

From Sally Beauty Supply:

Finger Paints Art You Wondering? & Finger Paints Purple Palette

From Target:

Sally Hansen In The Spotlight & Sally Hansen Snappy Sprinkles

From Fred Meyer's:

OPI Not Like the Movies & OPI Teenage Dream

OPI Last Friday Night & OPI The One That Got Away

Along with OPI black shatter, these colors make up the OPI Katy Perry collection

From Ulta:

OPI Skull and Glossbones & OPI Steady as She Roes

OPI Planks a Lot & OPI Sparrow Me the Drama

OPI Stranger Tides & OPI Mermaid's Tears

together with OPI Silver Shatter these colors make up the OPI Pirates of the Caribbean collection

Whew!!  That feel like a huge load off my mind!  More detailed reviews and swatches to come.

Icing Haul and Dusty Round-up

Happy Friday all!!  Did you hear Taps playing in the wind last night?  If so, it just may have been in memorial to all the lemmings who jumped to their deaths to bring you this amazing haul!!

After scoping out a few blogs, I decided I better not wait any longer on checking out Icing for their "Charlie Sheen" polishes.  I had to go to two different Icing stores to get all the ones I wanted, but I'm so glad I did!!  The 2nd Icing I went to was at the mall in Portland that I don't make it to as much (Lloyd Center....the first was at Washington Square) and I got to check out a salon for dusties while I was there....SCORE!!!  I was beaming with joy when I lugged my 2 sacks out of the mall.

First Icing:

They have a collection called NY Graffiti that appear to mimic OPI's Katy Perry collection.  Definitely not close enough to be a dupe.  I would say if you like the Katy Perry collection, you will like this one too.

The first two colors in the pack are Silver Spray Paint and Tag Me Pink

Midnight in Times Square & 4am Dance Party

Have I ever mentioned my extreme love of glitter?  Wow these are sooo pretty!!

Lastly we have NY Graffiti, a black shatter, crackle, or whatever you want to call it

A doppelganger of a previously vanquished lemming and a pretty glitter nail art polish (am I the only one who hates the super skinny brush?)  I couldn't find a name on the nail art glitter.

This duo has Magnetic Attraction and Force of Love (I will dedicate a post to this later, but trust me for now, Force of Love is merely a doppelganger for Across the Universe.  It looks close in the bottle, but not close enough to get ATU out of the picture!!)

Gimme Some Glitter and Glamorous

Born This Way and Frost Yourself

Starlight!!!  Soooo gorgeous.  In another post, I will compare Starlight to Nicole by OPI's Me + Blue

Bird of Paradise and Tiger's Blood (TB appears to be quite popular there were only 2 total bottles at the Icing stores I visited.)

Rock Star From Mars and Epic Winning.  I cannot tell you how beautiful Epic Winning is!  Soooo amazingly glittery and holo-filled goodness!  *drool*  Definitely a unicorn pee!!

After Icing, I was just looking for the restroom when I found a salon with dusties galore!

Kaleidoscope collection you will be mine!!  Sadly It's My Turn looks a little odd.  Some of the holo particles have congregated on the bottle and it doesn't apply super holo-y....at least not on my nail wheel swatch, but I know that silver cap and bottle design when I see it!  Let's Do It in 3D is to die for!!  Gorgeous charcoal holo.

China Glaze Sugar Plums and OPI DS Diamond

China Glaze Specialty Collection??  Don't mind if I do.  Bad Kitty and Dynasty.

China Glaze Meteor Shower and Electric Lilac

OPI Who Are You Wearing?, Have You Seen My Limo, My Private Jet, and Brand New Skates

Which one is your favorite from this haul?  What is the best dusty you have ever found?

Happy Hunting!!
