TRAVEL: I ♥ NY!

My recent trip to New York proved fruitful in the sense that I found my (short time) lemming - Sally Hansen's Mystic Lilac (ML)...


ML is very sheer so you will need an opaque base of some sort, I chose the nail color Confetti Moonstruck, which I also picked up in NY. 

My husband thought I was insane because every drug store we walked by, (yes, we did lots and lots of walking) I just had to check to see, "what was new".  The first Duane Reade had the new display but it was missing ML - boooo!  

The second one I checked, a few days later, had an underground cosmetics department and the new Xtreme Wears were untouched.  So I picked up ML, Fireberry Red, and Purple Gala, yes, I left the second ML standing there for some other person to discover.  

The first chance I got I, layered ML over my current mani and it was so great, I had to go get the back-up and yes it was still there - untouched.

Here's a pic of Confetti Moonstruck on it's own.  It's so pretty I had a hard time layering ML over it but there will be other times for Moonstruck, I'm certain.

Needless to say, I ♥ NY...  Wishing a well-polished weekend to you all!

HAULAGE REPORT - OPI DS Royal

This was a very fruitful nail polish weekend!  Purchased my first Nubars and found two OPI DS's to add to my collection.  Which brings me to my NOTD:

OPI DS Royal with Kleancolor Chrome on ring finger.  Chrome (on ring finger) was a beautiful gift from one of my MUA NBer (Makeupalley Nailboarder) buddies, faerieberry, she noticed it wasn't in my collection and wahlah there it was.

DS Royal puts me in the mind of the many glass-flecked colors in the market today, of which, Sally Hansen has contributed the most.  

Not sure if this will be the first and last time I wear this color, as it is definitely not one of my favorites DS's and with space being limited this might have to be one that I let go... :(

My haul consisted of five Nubar's: Prize, Gem, Jewel, Iris Dust and 2010; I also picked up Essie Sew Psyched. And later the same day came across OPI DS Glow along with Precision After Dinner Mints.  Today I found the nail polish shown in the picture (OPI DS Royal).  I really thought I was going to love this one, but, not so much...
