Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mystic Lilac

WOW. This. polish. is. amazing. Purple-beigey colour with green/blue shimmer flecks that the sun just catches at the right angle. Four coats to awesomeness. New favourite fall colour. That's all :)

The flecks were hard to capture because they are just so tiny! You can see the undertones though right by my index finger on the bottle. :)

Ugh. So frickin' gorgeous :) I NEED THE REST OF THE FALL COLLECTION ASAP! :)
Have a great night, guys :)

NYC Colors - MoMA

This is my second NYC polish ever. It was very cheap, and I have to say.. it didn't disappoint. I've had it on for 2 days so far, and I don't even have tip wear! This might actually be one of my new favourite colours, to be honest. It's a beautiful jelly (I love jellies!) and it sort of has a dusty plum-ness about it, but it's still pink. The only problem I had was it was the formula was very watery. It took four coats, and even then you could still see white tips a bit. I can over look that though, just for the pure awesomeness of the colour.

The only thing that irks me about this colour is the name. It doesn't even make sense! Haha. Have you guys tried this colour, or any other from NYC?

Have a good night, bloggers!

NOTD: Revlon - Cherry Crush

Revlon, Cherry Crush is actually such an old polish of mine, but I decided to do a NOTD post because I rarely do them! I've been wearing this for 2 days, with no top coat, and I they look as good as they did when I first painted them! Cherry Crush is a shimmery red with tiny, tiny micro glitter spewing around. I'm not usually a red fan, but I do love this red very much- probably because it's not too red. I actually wore this colour to my prom in 2009.. so yes, a little old (or a lot?)
Also, my dorm is actually the worst place to take swatches. The pictures are always blurry, the sunlight sucks through a window (not to mention is has literally been raining every day since I've arrived) and even the artificial lighting is bad. Time to invest in a lightbox? Perhaps. Anyway, onto the pictures!

Shade; not very accurate though.

The picture with the flash captured the colour best, I think. Can I also mention that this was a one-coat wonder. No.. I am not joking. It was fabulous. Application was smooth, and flawless as well. I'm noticing I don't criticize polish very much, do I? I can't help it. I literally love almost every colour I wear- obviously!

Do you guys have any favourite Revlon colours?
Have a great night :)

LA Colors - Current

I've started to notice that I have been posting a lot of the same brands lately, and for that I am sorry. I had a pretty big haul not too long ago, and most of them were either Sally Hansen's, OPI's, and LA Colors. I promise though, most of them I have swatched, so hopefully I will have something new for you!

All that aside, yes, I do have another LA Color for you! I'm sorry, guys :( I do very much like this colour though. A sheer, green shimmer (if that makes sense?) that took a few coats to get opaque, but worth it. Not much else to say!

The sun really picked up on the blue undertones too! Gorgeous :)

Have a great night, bloggers :)

American Apparel - Peacock (!) + an update!

Well, things have been crazy and hectic around here at NGN. I'm finally all moved in to my new residence, and things have been SO busy, I haven't found a spare minute to blog at all. Until today! :) The day before I moved, I went on a little shopping trip and finally picked up a lemming of mine - American Apparel, Peacock. What a gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS COLOUR THIS IS! Possibly my favourite colour for fall.

Two coats till perfection, a beautiful deep teal cream. I only picked up one, but now I'm kicking myself in the behind for not getting more.

Anyway, enough blabbering, onto the pictures!

Do you guys have a favourite AA polish? I'm lemming towards Dynasty next! :) Have a great night!

OPI Swiss - Yodel Me on My Cell

Hey all! Just a quick post tonight, I still have a lot to do, and I move tomorrow at 7am! Ew. Here is OPI's Yodel Me On My Cell from their new 2010 Swiss Collection. Out of all of them, this one stood out the most to me. I intended to buy Lucertainly Look Marvelous, but at the last minute put it down. Shame on me.


This colour is so unique. I don't have any other ones like it in my collection. A nice shimmery teal-y blue. So nice. It could have taken two coats, but I was being careless. Might I also mention that this sucker was one hard thing to photograph. I took so many, and most of them were either blurry, or looked crap. So these are the best ones I could get. So, here you are!

Enjoy :)

NOTD - Skittles!

Just a quick post, I'm leaving for the day very soon, but I was really happy with how this mani turned out, so I thought I would share! Skittling is one of my favourite things to do with my nails. Today I used different hues of blue. :) On my index finger, I accidentally bumped it, so there's a little indent, but I didn't have time to fix it, oh welll


On my index finger I used my franken I made as a dupe for OPI's What's With the Cattitude?, on my middle finger and thumb I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Pacific Blue. My ring finger is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Blue Me Away!, and my pinky finger is OPI No Room for the Blues.
I love how this turned out :) Sorry for the crap picture, and obvious no clean-up, I'm in a bit of a rush. That's all for now, hope you enjoyed!

Do you guys like skittling? What are your favourite colours to use?
Have a great day!
