OPI-On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Hello dolls.  Here is what I popped on my nails today:
This lovely polish is from OPI's recent Skyfall collection.  It was hard deciding, just getting one from this newly released collection.  There are so many pretty colors!  I made up my mind with On Her Majesty's Secret Service but I'm pretty sure I'm going back for the glitter and the mini bottles.

 Here are some bottle shots of this beauty:
Isn't it pretty?  I love how the color shifts, but unfortunately, it was very hard to capture on my nails.  I tried the best I could under my Ottlite.
Because this is semi-foil-ish, it dried rather quickly.  I am wearing three coats for these photos.  I had no problems with the formula at all, save for it was a little runny at first, but it built up to a nice opacity with no trouble at all.
 Did you get anything from the Skyfall collection?

Love,

October-Dollar Tree Finds

Hello dolls.  Here is what I found at my local Dollar Tree this month:
Just three things this month.  It was pretty much bare bones because of all of the Halloween stuff on the shelves.  (My wallet thanked me.)
Elf Pigment Eyeshadow in Innocent Ivory
Swatch:
The sift top allows for just a little bit of product to come out.  There is also a little eye shadow brush included.  The swatch came out a little sad though for me.  It has strong violet undertones which I did not expect.  I was hoping to use it in the inner corners as a high light color but with the strong shift it might look funny.  Still, for a dollar you can't go wrong.  I'm sure that it will come in handy for Halloween.

Vitaminschtick Flavored Lip Balm in Lemonade
I already have the XXX flavored one, and I keep it by my bedstand.  This one will be a nice addition to keep in my purse.

Elf Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara
When I saw this on the shelf, I nabbed itMy Sephora brow gel has been looking pretty nasty and it's on it's last leg.  I don't think that I will be using the lash side very much though at this point.
The dual-ended brushes are labled with eyelash or eyebrow on either end so you don't get confused.  The wands are made with your standard synthetic bristles. 
If I find that any of these products are worth reviewing I will certainly do a separate post.  What did you find at your Dollar Tree this month?

KleanColor-Holo Pink

Hi dolls.  Here is what I am wearing on my nails today:
I've been on a holo kick lately, if you can't tell.  I picked this up from KleanColor for just $2.50.  (Steal!)  Pink, and holo?  Yes, I think I will.
I am wearing three coats for these photos.  Unfortunately, there was no sun again today so I took these pictures under my Ottlite again.
I also have the green, blue and orange holo colors from KleanColor.  Swatches coming soon!

OPI-DS Extravagance

Hi dolls.  Here is what I put on my nails today:
This is from OPI's DS line in Extravagance.  I picked this up from Ulta for around $12.  This polish is amazing.
This is my first DS polish from OPI, and I'm certainly going to pick up more.  I love holographic polishes.  
The burgundy tones in this polish makes it a great color for fall as well.  Unfortunately, today was nothing but clouds so I couldn't get any nice pictures in the sun.  I took these photos under my Ottlite, so you can't fully appreciate the beauty of this polish.   
Do you like holos?

Love,

Fergie-Rock 'n Roll

Hello dolls.  Here is what I am wearing on my nails today:
I picked this up from Walgreens, and immediately fell in love with it because of the holographic goodness.
This is rather thin though, so it would help to layer it over a charcoal gray base.  I had to do at least five coats for this opaqueness. 
Do you have this polish?  I do adore it so.
