Love & Beauty- Grey

So this is another Forever 21 nail polish, which retails for $2.80. This is called Love & Beauty-Grey.

Although this color doesn't look it does in the bottle its still very pretty. Its a dark grey laced with gold/ olive shimmer. The consistency was totally different than the consistency of Love & Beauty-Olive, it was a lot thicker but in a good way. It went on perfectly in two thick coats and stayed on for 3+ days without chipping which is when I took it off so I'm sure it would have lasted longer also. 

Want to hear some exciting news? I was contacted by a beauty company asking me to review some of their eyelashes! Although my blog is not a 'beauty' blog (makeup/ clothes/ other beauty products) this is my first offer and I am just so excited a company is interested in my opinion so I agreed to do the review. If you guys like the review I may turn it into a once a month post other than nail polish tradition. How about that? Sound good?

Bling Bling

HELLO FOLLOWERS!!! [finally haha] I'm really happy lately because I'm going back to school in less than a week! I miss all my friends and my sorority sisters soo much and I can't wait to go back to my easy ass job doing nothing as opposed to my horrid job back home. Therefore I am out of my dark polish phase =)

I used Lotsa Luxe by Ulta which is a pretty gold. Obviously as you know by now, Ulta polishes are some of my favorites and this polish just supported that opinion.
The application was not streaky at all, which is what is expected from metallic polishes and went on well enough only to do one coat. Like I told you in my last post, I used the Ulta Ridge Filler when using the Sula lacquer and it went on a little watery/streaky and I was wondering if it was because of the Ridge Filler. Well, I used it again before the gold polish and I've come to the conclusion that it was just the Sula polish that was the problem because the gold went on just fine.

In my experience when I buy gold polishes, it comes out either sheer or brownish..not the expected gold that I want. All I can say is Ulta got it right! Its the perfect (in my opinion) shade and ratio of yellow to brown hues. It has a greet sheen to it and is exactly what I wanted. OH, and did I mention it was on clearence!? Instead of the pretty steep price of $5 per bottle, it was almost only $3.75, woo!
