Mall Haul and Some Indie Nail Mail

Such a rhyme-y title! On Monday I had a whole day off work, so I decided to go to the mall. I hit up my favorite polish shops and got some goodies :) First up is Forever 21. I seriously controlled myself and only allowed myself to buy two bottles. I got a gorgeous metallic teal and a green glitter (which I'm pretty sure is a dupe of L.A. Girl Glitter Addict Purge).


And then Icing! I seriously love Icing polishes. I got 2 shredded glitter polishes and a crelly with iridescent glitter.

Icing Pre Game, Peachy Keen and Shredded

And I also picked up a mini set of neons with mirco glitter! They're so pretty and bright! I love them a lot :)


And then to The Gap. I think I can count on one hand how many times I've been to The Gap. But I really really wanted Gold Rush which is a dupe for Chanel Peridot.


Doesn't it look magical?! And look at it from this angle:

Blue/green!

Finally, I headed to JC Penney and got OPI My Pointe Exactly and Pirouette My Whistle. And they were only $6 each! They were labelled $8, so I was really excited haha.



Then after hitting up the mall, I stumbled upon Fanservice Nails on Etsy. I HAD to have these and I can't wait to try them out!

I can't wait to use these beauties!!!

Untried Month Day 15: Sally Hansen Blue It and Forever 21 Flakie

Hey guys! Today I decided to use the Forever 21(Love & Beauty) Flakie I got for my birthday. It's a dupe for OPI I Lily Love You! I'd tried it over a light base before, so I decided to try it over a dark base this time. 


I started with one coat of Sally Hansen Blue It. This metallic blue is GORGEOUS! I love it a lot. Then I added on two layers of the F21 flakie.


I'm not sure what's up with the tips in this picture. It definitely didn't look like that in real life. And, this was so much prettier in real life. I could not get the camera to capture it. It was so shiny and had more purple in reality. Now I'm off to go do my nails for formal tonight :D


Be sure to check out the other ladies' untrieds!
