Friday night EOTD/NOTD

 I recently got a bunch of cheap eyeliners from Wal-mart just to try them out. I mean doesn't everyone just assume the "love my eyes" liners that are in that big plastic bin on the make-up isle are total crap?  Well, I decided not to assume and holy moly was I wrong... Ok, I DID assume they sucked but I was still wrong.  Don't get ME wrong the NYC liners in the bin NEXT to the "love my eyes" liners ARE total crap. You might as well try to line your eye with a crayola colored pencil, so be careful which ones you are grabbing..

Shown here is "love my eyes" liner in "blue" which looks royal purple on my skin. This one dollar gem (YES love my eyes brand is ONE DOLLAR per pencil) glided on smooth and covered in a solid one coat. The pencil did not crumble or give me problems of any kind.  I got 6 colors and all 6 were equally effortless to apply. Freaking amazing.

Now let's not get crazy here but...  BAM, here is my other eye...

How you doooin'?

For this look I used the blue LME pencil on top and bottom and a bright yellow shimmer shadow on my lids, above that a blueish emerald followed by a rose shadow on my brow bone. All shadows are from my Giovi palatte.  I finished this with maybelline great lash mascara, my favorite mascara that have used since my momma got me my first tube at 15.

And here is my NOTD which was meant to match my blue eyeliner but that didn't work out so well.  However, this polish is one of the most gorgeous polishes I have ever laid eyes on.  It's a solid 2 coat, medium to dark, straight up BLUE with tiny particles of turquise shimmer... LOVE THIS POLISH.  This polish reminds me of how much I love Orly, they really do make some good nail paint people!

While my matching EOTD/NOTD was a fail I am still rocking it out this friday evening, I might be a little over dressed for food shopping at wal-mart later this evening though...since that is the only plan I actually have, lol.

New York Summer Pt 7

 Part 6

Thank freakin god this is FINALLY the last installment of these polishes.  You guys have no idea how sick I am of swatching them.  Do you like how I said that I'm all done despite the fact that I still have all the glitters to swatch? I am mentally unable to face the fact that I still have 10+ NYS glitters to slather all over my hands. It's depressing.  I want to swatch stuff that I love, but I set out to swatch the whole stupid collection of NYS polish so I am going to do it. I just want to pretend that I'm finished at the moment, dammit.

Sorry about the hiatus in posting dudes.  Things have been non awesome on my side of the looney bin, but I won't bore you with details.  I know everyone has there own crap to deal with and reading all about my crazies isn't at the top of anyone's "to do" list.  Instead I shall slap on my happy face and get this freak show on the road.

So, who's ready to be disappointed?  This is the most boring and stupid set of NYS polish yet people. It seems I saved all the identical pink shimmers for last. Hurray!  These are all 3 coats.  

Love, MM

Misa Poisoned Passion collection

My absolute favorite Misa collection Ever. 

This may be in my top 3 collections of ALL TIME, which is why I'm swatching it so long after it was released.  Also because I don't care. It really needed some more swatchin' love people! So what if it was released in 2008?  This collection is nearly perfect.  

The colors are spot ON, they apply very well, the names are awesome, AND they are ALL two coats and you're done. DONE.  I love these polishes so much I even re-swatched some of them just because they are so pretty.   Not to mention this collection holds two of my favorites.  My favorite dark blue shimmer EVER, and my favorite red jelly EVER.

Ahhhhhhh...that was nice.

Love, MM

So far the formula on NYS polish has held about 95% consistent.  The jelly neons and cremes apply great with no drag. The shimmers and frosts are sheer and require 4+ coats. Mostly everything with "hot" in the name isn't a lie, and they dry in a reasonable amount of time. Sheer or not, these polishes can handle 6-7 coats without dragging at the cuticle or tip and that my friends is an insane feat to accomplish!  Not that anyone is going to sit and apply six coats to discover it, other than me of course. You're welcome.

Here is the first exception to the rule.  This being SIX coats is NOT HOT people. Not hot. And where is the turquoise and for that matter where the hell is the BLUE?  Six coats is hilarious to me.

I guess don't hate it. This was 3 coats. It's just kinda ok. Deffinately not hot. It applied great though. I'm lying, I totally HATE this.

This was my biggest disapointment out of the entire NYS collection.  Why?  This is NOT purple and certainly not a HOT purple.  This is a mauvey, ugly MAGENTA with some type of brownish undertone.  Totally not hot. This was 3 coats BTW.

Totally accurate name. I want to say this was 4-5 coats. LOL.

Highlighter yellow neon jelly. Wow! This is 3 thin coats and it dried FAST. Now this one is worth buying if you need a good neon yellow. No drag and good coverage! Bonus- no red fingers!

From across the pond...

Did you guys know I have a nail twin?  Well I do, our nails were separated at birth and given to separate families that moved across the globe, living lonely and very different lives only to be reunited at MUA 25 years later.  She lives all the way in Tasmania which I think is so incredibly cool.  I even felt cool writing out "Tasmania" on the packages I have sent her, because sending a piece of mail with "Tasmania" written on it is as close as this local girl can get to feeling like a world traveler.

We are those type of nail twins that are totally opposite.  Like she is really nice and thoughtful and probably organized and has a GPS, and I am a lame butt hole that says "retard" and offends people with her normal behavior on a regular basis, a total slob, and I never know what direction I am going while driving.  Anyhoo, she sent me some goodies from across the pond that I am in love with.

This gorgeous little number was almost a one coater and nearly applied itself.  I love the color so much, it's not really "blackened" where the edges look black and the center looks glowy. The edges look more of a really dark purple and the whole nail looks glowy.

You see this?  This is THE perfect purple. That is it, this polish sealed the deal and I never have to think about it again. THIS is my favorite purple, ever. It makes my skin even out and look a creamy pale shade instead of all pink and gross, it doesn't look black and it's dry on the first nail you painted by the time you paint the last nail. I LOVE YOU NAIL TWIN!

These two Sugar Baby polishes are really different colors than I would ever choose for myself but somehow you nailed it, you wonderful twin of mine!  I  love them BOTH.  I love the colors, the bottles, I even love the subtle shimmer in Dream Team even though I freakin hate subtle shimmer!  These were both two coaters.  I really like this brand, the bottles are things dreams are made of people. 

Thanks a million Twinny!

Love, MM

This was 3 coats, smooth application. No problems.

Also 3 coats. This is BLINDING.

This one is still sheer at 3 coats which is a shame because it is an awesome neon red.

This one was a goopy MESS! Omg it was a pain to apply. This was 4 coats.

Once again 3 coats. This one applied great despite the streaks and dried lightning fast.

Love, MM

Stroll.

What a dream this polish is, I adore it. It went on so smooth and is a 2 coater. In case nobody has told you yet, YOU NEED THIS.

My new favorite pink polish, also a 2 coater and great application. Heads up light skin ladies that look freakishly red skinned when they wear light colors and pastels, this is the pink for you!

Zaaaang! A stunning blue based green shimmer. LOVE! 2 coats

This was a 3 coater and I dont love it. But I haven't seen a lot of swatches of it, so here it is!

 OH! The glass flecky goodness, the unique awesomeness! Its the morning sky living on my nails! This was 3 smooth coats.

This is a jelly based hot pink shimmer with a fuchsia flash. It takes a lot of coats but I think it's worth it.

This set of NYS polish followed suit perfectly with all the others I have swatched.  No cuticle drag on the  neon jellies, smooth application overall and good drying time. So instead of regurgitating everything I've said in part one and two, let's get this polish parade on the road! Speaking of parades, why are they always so stupid anyway?  I always spend my time trying to mentally will the stilts dude to fall. I mostly do this to try to take my attention off how overly aggravated I am at whoever is forcing me to watch the parade, because there is no way I would be willingly watching a PARADE. But I'll just spoil the fun for you and take away all the suspense. The stilts dude doesn't fall. HE NEVER FALLS!

This polish is pretty but what a major disappointment! From the color dots it was represented as a teal/grayish blue jelly or cream.  A really AWESOME looking polish.  But oh well, it's just another stank ass light blue shimmer with green flash.  This was 3 coats.

Wowza.  This one is super pigmented. It could have been a one coat wonder which is the first time I have seen that from NYS, but I did 2 coats anyway.  This is really dupey to China Glaze Cowgirl Up.  It's a tad darker though with MUCH more gold flash.

OH! You startled me! I almost didn't SEE you there. This is a freakin NEON purple people. WOAH. It was way too bright to capture, but I did get a good representation of the color.  This was 2, flowing, non cuticle dragging, coats.

I would LOVE this if it were a tad less orange but it's still really cool.  A neon red jelly? Come on! This was a 3 coater with great application just like ALL the rest of the NYS polishes I have swatched so far. Awesome.
