Hello readers,
Today I have a my first experience with CND Vinylux polish to share with you.  I got the shade Wild Moss along with the matching Vinylux top coat from ChickAdvisor to test out and review.  The Vinylux system is supposed to be a long wear polish that applies like any other polish and doesn't need curing.

Contrary Polish Swatch

Hello readers,
Today I have polish to share with you that has been on my wishlist since it was released last year.  First off, it's called Magical Manatee and I love manatees so this was a no brainer.  Second, it has shimmer and flakes.  That sealed the deal.

Tartelette Tease Palette Swatches & Review


Tartelette Swatch

Hello readers,
Today I have a new-ish palette from tarte cosmetics to share with you.  I recently picked this up from Sephora in a value kit along with a liquid lipstick and tarteist mascara, but you can also purchase it separately.  This palette features six shades, four matte and two shimmer.  I though this would be a great little palette to toss in my makeup bag when I'm traveling or on the go.

Different Dimension Mystery Villain #2 Lady Tremaine Swatches & Review


Different Dimension Lady Tremaine Swatch

Hello readers,
Today I have polish from the Different Dimension Mystery Villain series to share with you.  I'm sorry in advance, you can't snag this polish from the shop any more.  I got it when the 'mystery retired villain' polishes went on sale.  Even grab bag offering from Different Dimension are great.  If the name Lady Tremaine doesn't ring a bell, you may know her better as Cinderella's evil stepmother.
