Some Fall Hauls *pic heavy!*

Hey ladies... I know I've been a really irresponsible and unreliable blogger lately. I'm so busy between work and friends and boyfriend and tweeting the Crazy Cat Ladies that I have been neglecting my blog, I'm sorry. I plan to get back to it soon! Meaning... NOW! And when I come back, I come back in a big way. Here's a million recent haul quickie (hehe) swatches.

Work Inappropriate #3

Hello again! Another day of vacation, another glitter mani :) I must say, it's been rough removing a glitter polish every day - but definitely worth it ;) Today's polish is one I bet is overlooked a lot, and I bought it off Amazon for about $2-3: Amour Rain Glitter. This is pretty similar in style to Mad as a Hatter: lots of multicolored glitter, really dense, can be worn alone for a glitterbomb.

Three coats (could have been okay with two, though)

Up close in sunlight
I must say I LOVED this mani. So fun and glittery and colorful. Lots of colors of glitters in this bottle: red, pink, silver, blue, and some others I can't quite pinpoint because I get overwhelmed with the sparkliness whenever I try to look :) For those of you who craved MAAH, pick up this guy! It's not a dupe by any means but definitely fulfills that dense multicolored glitter craving!

xoxo,
Amanda

Transdesign Haulage

Hey, quickish post today because I'm just showing you gals the rest of the fun stuff I got from Transdesign (for now). I'm planning a giveaway at 128 followers... Details to come! Thank you all for following and commenting!

Below is Sation Holiday Spirit, Sation Marion Red, China Glaze Skyscraper, and New York Summer Glitter Fire Red Glitter.


And Amour Rain Glitter and Amour Blue Glitter:


Below are swatches of Fire Red Glitter, Marion Red, Rain Glitter, and Blue Glitter (I didn't include Holiday Spirit because it's for my next giveaway and everyone's seen Skyscraper already)


 Then, I got a few more Color Clubs: Covered in Diamonds and three from the Backstage Pass collection I have heard nothing about until I saw them on Transdesign and neeeeeeeded a few of them. These three are Wish Upon a Rock Star, Backstage Pass, and Fame & Fortune.


Left to right, one coat each: Backstage Pass (large purple and silver hex glitter, clear base; hard to get opaque and placement was tough but not impossible), Wish Upon a Rock Star (multicolor small glitter and sparse hex glitter), and Fame & Fortune (red jelly base with red-based flakies that flash pink and silver).


I'm really happy with all the polishes I got, I went on a bit of a glitter/holiday collection rampage but I'm not even mad about it. Thoughts?

xoxo,
Amanda
