Movers and Shakers

Alrighty so today we had a nice visit from the corporate office. The big wigs of the company were there and I decided that Essie's Movers and Shakers was appropriate.





I am starting to become obsessed with pinks and this one is pretty good. Although it took three coats to get it opaque. I personally am a two coat girl and it was kind of annoying to take the extra time. However it is a beautiful sheer pink. It kind of has a jelly texture but I wouldn't call it a jelly.

Three coats Essie Movers and Shakers, One coat Seche Vite

What I like and dislike about this polish is that in different lights it changes colors. In the sun it looks COMPLETELY different than it does in the shade. In the store it looks completely different than it does at home. I would definately recomend it but I don't think that it is my holy grail pink.

OPI What's With The Cattitude

I absolutely love this color. It's a great spring/summer color. It only took two coats and its so opaic and Realy pays off in the end. I've got so many compliments on this color.

NOTD

It did take a couple of coats (by a couple I mean 4) but I like the pay off and it was Realy cheap you can find it any drugstore or Walmart.

Color - NYC Poutty Pink Cream

Lincoln Park After Dark

Here we have today's manicure of choice. I was getting a little sick of the pastels that I had fallen into and missed my vampy dark colors. The lovely Hilary chose LPAD for me to wear today and I must say that while I like it I don't know what the hype is about.


It's a nice dark, almost black, purple. The application is nice and it is a pretty color but I honestly don't get it. OPI has done way better and I just don't think it's what everyone makes it out to be. That's not to say that it isn't pretty, which it is.

Two coats LPAD and one coat Seche Vite
The sun decided to go behind a cloud so this isn't the best picture but you get the idea.

step one: apply urban decay primer eye potion all over the lid to help have a even lid and help eyeshadow to last longer threw out the day.
Step 2: i used my MAC 252 To pac the blue all over the lid
Step 3: using the same brush but flip to the clean side i diped it in my Urban Decay S&M from the middle of the lid to the outer part of the lid (dont go to far in or you will not see the pop of blue)
Step 3: i used my Sigma E45 and diped it in my Urban Decay Flash on my outer V of my lid (now this color you do have to apply a couple of times to get the color to show but when it dose it realy pays off)
Step 4: i took my Sigma E20 and dipped it in the bluse and with a pating motion put it in the corner of my eye and a litte on the inner part of my lower lid
Step 5: with the same brush but dipped in S&M i apply on the middle of my lower lid
Step 6: one more time with the same brush i dip it in the Urban Decay Flas and apply on the outer part of my lower lid and bring it up to connect with the purple on my upper lid
Step 7:i took my sigma E10to apply my MAC Gel liner on my top and bottom water line and also t very thin time on my lid
Step 8: Apply mascara
Step 9: i used my Sigma F10 to apply my NARS Orgasam blush (favorite blush.((a good dupe is benfit bella bamba)))

First post - MAC Obey Me and Spirit of Truth

Welcome to Polish, Perfumes and more where my friend Hilary and I will be sharing our ramblings about our sick addictions. Most of our addiction is comprised of nail polish however we will also be covering perfume, panties, eyeshadow and other ridiculous things that we encounter in our everyday lives.

Let's start with nail polish shall we?

Here we have the polish sector of MAC's Wonder Woman collection; Obey Me and Spirit of Truth.




Obey Me is a GORGEOUS true red creme. Wonder Woman herself would envy this color. It is the perfect red and looks beautiful on either the toes or the fingers.

Spirit of Truth is the blue counterpart to Obey Me and it is also a lovely creme. In the bottle and the promos it looks like a rich royal blue however in person and on the nail it is more of a light navy. On the toes and on the nail it is amazing however I prefer it on the nail.

So I went a little crazy because I was rediculously excited about these two colors. Here we have my Wonder Woman funky french mani. If you want my opinion I effing love it.



Here we have Obey Me on the nail with Spirit of Truth on the tips. On the ring finger we have reversed it. I used two coats of each base color and one coat of the tip color. On top to get it to really shine I used two coats of Seche Vite.

Here is a picture examplifying said shine; shield your eyes.


These polishes applied like a dream. However these being my first MAC polishes I do not know if this was a fluke. I hear through the grapevine and various other blogs that MAC polishes seem to apply like a bitch and they chip like a mofo. I did this mani on acrylics so I cannot comment on chipping but the application was amazing.
