NEW BLOGS & LA Girls Metal Metallic Olive


 LA Girls Metallic Olive 1 coat layered over 2 coats of Finger Paints Tough Art To Follow. Metallic Olive is surprisingly sheer, so if I did not layer it - it would need 4 to 5 coats to get to the bottle shade and I would probably still have a few bare spots. My pinky nail is 3 thin coats and there is some noticeable bare areas.

I bought this at an awesome dollar store in Portage La Prairie Manitoba where they had full displays of 7 or more collections from LA Colors, plus the nail Art polish. I haven't been back since but wish I took photos of the giant table filled with polish...... it was heavenly.

 Where have I been?

My computer is making me crazy - there is something very odd happening where some program or script is not working, any web page I open or any program I use on this computer crazily scrolls on it's own - and the 'fn-F9' key trick only lasts for a few minutes..... I have all but taken it down to back to the manufactures setting ( saving all my important stuff ie; nail inspiration photos ) and really don't want to take it somewhere to get fixed. I need that $$$ for bargain nail polish!!!!

 I am avoiding being on here; but am actually doing crafts and making stuff. I am soooooooo far behind in catching up with blogs, MUA and watching Nail video's on You Tube that I doubt that I will ever get caught up.

Blogger also appears to be wacky as well, and I have uploaded photos only to have them appear fuzzy and pixil-ated. Is anyone else having trouble following people, the last time that happened thing's returned to normal after a day or so - but I have not been able to follow people for almost 6 days!

grrrrrrrr, I am thankful to have a computer, the Internet and all that jazz; but when stuff like this happens i avoid it all together.

end rant.

Here a few new blogs I have come across, or that people have sent in. Sorry it took so long!

♥ Big City Bargans ♥



~ Big City Bargains ~


Good Grief, this haul is from a month ago and I am just getting to it now! This sis an awesome bargain haul from the big city - these were all in a dusty bin on the bottom shelf of a dollar store. The L.A. Girl ridge fillers ( X 3 ) is an awesome matte-i-fier and were .25 cents each. The Orange shade the sheer shades and the super-gross band aid-like color were between .25 cents and 1 dollar. The two 'Billies' were $1.00 each. I do hope there is a few more of the 'Ridge Filler' bottles when I go back to the big city, because I really like the brush on these and they will come in handy-dandy for some matte frankens I plan on making soon♥.


While I have included some swatches, at the moment I have better swatches drying, and am waiting for the sun to come back out....... after all those sunny days being hunkered down indoors, and today I wanted to take photos...... well, at least I will be ready when the sun appears!

Below, you can see my awesome toenail polish, 'Green Meadows' I love that one.....

Top Row - L to R; Ridge Filler, French Cream, (X 2 ), Billie Shores, ( X 2 )
Bottom - L to R; No Name, Silver Lining, Pink Bl...., Silver Lining, Ridge Filler (X2 )

I also found a bottle of a Billie Base Coat, a weird thin milky polish... So I ran overt o my local .99 cent store in my town and they actually had Billie Base Coat and top coat.... So I picked up some of those to more recently, not with this haul. Also it was the purchase of this bunch of polish s that my D.H. pointed out that I have a serious problem...... And I do!

I do hope to get better swatches on here.... I am pretty much frankening every bottle here..... I have plans for most of them, and this will keep me very busy. The L.A. Girl ridge filler was a pleasant surprise, I tried the black shiny and matte polka dots and I am a ridiculous perfectionist and my polka dots are uneven, I will eventually post an acceptable polka dot matte/shiny Mani.

Anyhoo- onto the photos..... I think that these polishs cost approx $4.50 Canadian all together... I'll check on that......
