AHHHHH! Awesome, right?! I got all four China Glazes for $4. The dud is a Crystal Ball bottle with some icky brown polish inside. In my excitement, I read the label and didn't actually look at the color. Oh well. Maybe I'll go back and see if they have another bottle. They also sold me TSMGO for $4. It's brand new! *happy dance*

2 coats over Ulta Pro Twisted Tinsel

What a fun polish! I wore this mani to my borther's birthday party last week. It adds something special to pretty much anything you layer it over, but I especially love it over silver foils. It applied like all of my other Lippmann glitters. Wait a minute or two in between coats so that you don't push the sequins around.

If you're not ready to hand over $18 for clown barf, Milani just released a similar polish called Gems, so be sure to check for it on your next drugstore run.

2 coats

I didn't have time to figure out how to photograph this one. It looks super dull, but trust me, it's not! Sooo pretty. The polish comes with a magnet

For those unfamiliar with magnetic polishes, here's how it works: the shimmer in the polish are magnetic and when held up to a magnet (it accompanies the polish), a pattern is formed. Lancome released two of these polishes back in '07, and they quickly became HTF. Have no fear; magnetic polishes are definitely attainable. Essence has just released a metallic collection that includes some magnetic polishes, so keep an eye out for those! Alessandro also makes beautiful magnetics.

Alright, so I love these! I really want full sizes of N-Evergreen and Empty Stocking, which are the stand-outs in my opinion. They're all beautiful, though!

Silver foil. Not unique at all, but still pretty! It looks great under DL Happy Birthday, which is my current mani. :] This is 2 coats.

Emerald green with gold shimmer running through it. It glows like nobody's business. My ring nail is 1 coat, pinky is 2. You could probably get away with one careful, thick coat of this. Thin coats are always better, though!

Pretty, shimmery red. It reminds me of Ali's Big Break in my head, but I'm probably off. There is 1 coat on each of my nails, they're just applied differently. Ring is a thin coat (obx), pinky is a thick coat. 2 coats is ideal.

Gold foil. I usually hate golds on me, but I actually kind of like this one. This is 2 coats.

I have no recollection of skipping Empty Stocking, but obviously I did. I'm planning on doing a full mani with it soon anyway, so stay tuned for that!
