Since my sister was feeling sick today, I drove to Walmart to get some medicine and saw the perfect gray nail polish!

ahahhaahahah. I also took some picture of my Hard Candy polishes from the previous post.  Here are some pictures~

Hard Candy Fishnet

Hard Candy Mr. Wrong

The Pure Ice brand comes in a cube-ish bottle and “Kiss me Here” is a dark cream grey color.  The first coat was sheer. The bottle says to apply two coats which was fine but I went ahead and applied a third.

Mini haul

About a week ago my package from Sephora came and it had my Sephora by OPI nail polish in 212

I also recently bought two polishes from the newly revived Hard Candy in Walmart line.

The ones from hard Candy are Mr. Wrong and Fishnet.

Sephora for OPI in 212

I’ve been really into glitter lately and got N.Y.C. Long-Wearing Nail Enamel in 105A Starry Silver Glitter

I also got N.Y.C. in 108A Polyester Pink as part of a Christmas gift.

105A Starry Silver Glitter

108A Polyester Pink

The OPI polish had pretty smooth application and the lid is HUGE. It towers over the other nail polishes. I think that the hugeness makes the brush easier to hold and not slip as easily.  212 is a glittery black polish with red flakes and blue, green, silver, and some other color glitters. The red flakes can make the polish look overall a bit murky but it’s not that bad. I needed multiple coats to make it solid. On the first coat the black was weak and a bit sheer. Overall the effect is pleasant and it wears pretty long without chipping.

Hard Candy Fishnet is a traditional red nail polish. It has no glitters or shimmer and is a true cherry bright red. It is super smooth and also needs multiple coats but two coats is satisfactory.

Mr. Wrong is super shimmery with purple undertones. It has micro glitters that include silver, gold, and purple. Depending on the lighting, it can look more purple or gold. Both of these Hard Candy nail polishes wear pretty long (a week with no chipping).

The NYC Starry Silver Glitter is just silver and pink glitters with hexagon blue and purple glitters. It can be work by itself to be subtle on the nails or worn on top of other polishes to more of a statement.

The Pink Polyester on the first coat is pretty horrible. It’s streaky and needs about 3 or more coats. This is probably because it is a light color, but it was such a hassle to apply.

yes it has.  Looking back on what I have written on this blog, I realize how much I have changed.

Christmas has just passed and in five days I will be one year older.

Next year, I have to go to college. I’m not sure where I will go yet, but I wouldn’t mind Seattle University. I need scholarships though since it’s a bit on the expensive side. I also got accepted to UH, but I don’t really want to stay here.

For Christmas I got new shoes!

It’s those Reebok ones with the pods on the bottom so I think I’m going to go running tonight. I haven’t gone running in like two months which is horrible.

I’ll try write more~
