Pretty & Polished- Dalmatian Nation

 I'm wearing Pretty & Polished- Dalmatian Nation. This polish also reminds me of cookies and cream! It consists of tiny pieces of black matte glitter in a white jelly base and a few gigantic circular glitters. I am wearing three coats of it here. The larger glitters came out of the bottle without much fishing. I like the random patterns in which they formed on my nails.
 Just looking at this polish, it doesn't look like it would be that difficult to remove, but it definitely was! I didn't use the aluminum foil and acetone method, so it took me about four cottonballs with acetone. Those large glitters are hard to remove. I had to pry them off with a cuticle stick. Overall I really enjoyed this polish. I don't have anything else remotely close to it.

I scored some goodies from the recent Urban Decay sale:
 Here's the mini nail kit from last holiday season. The shades are Barlust, Mars, Wrecked, Ziggy, Gunmetal, and Hot Mess. I got such a good deal on these that I couldn't pass them up. I was reluctant to purchase them at full price. These are also my first Urban Decay polishes!
I also got the Skull eyeshadow palette. I couldn't get a good picture of the front of the palette because it was too reflective. The shades are: Cherry, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Grifter, Vert, Oil Slick (OPI Sparke-licious dupe), Shattered, Blunt, Chopper, and Twice Baked.

A $5 off coupon was included in the package, so I went back and ordered the vegan palette. It was on sale for $13, but the coupon pretty much covered the cost of the shipping.

China Glaze Virtual Violet and HUGE Urban Decay Haul!!!

So I cut my nails the other day. They were getting too long for my liking again. This time I kind of went overboard and they're so tiny! My nails always seem to grow back quickly though.

I love holos! I wish they would become part of permanent collections because after the limited edition shades are sold out and so hard to find! I'm not shelling out more than $20 for a bottle of nail polish, that's my bottom line! (Unless it's Chanel Peridot) Virtual Violet is pretty brilliant! Also, I'm not holding the bottle of it. Instead it's China Glaze peppermint cuticle oil. I left the bottle in the other room and was too lazy to get it!

Here it is without the flash. More holo brilliance!

Urban Decay had a massive sale with products $1 to $7!! I seized this opportunity! Excuse my duck bedsheets haha. All of this came to around $60 including shipping. I did the math because I was curious to see how much this would be with original prices and it would be around $450! So I saved nearly $400! This may be my best deal ever besides the $2 Essies I encountered at Trade Secret a couple months ago. Urban Decay still has plenty of items on their sale page, so it's not too late! Here's the listing of the items I purchased:
Cream Eyeshadows: Suburbia, Radium, Asphalt, Whipped, Weeds, Sphynx, Grass, Mushroom, and Delinquent
Loose Pigments: Shattered, X, Protest, Asphyxia, Gunmetal, Smog, Graffiti, Shag, and Rockstar
Eye Shadows: Chronic, Purple Haze, Green Goddess, and Half Baked
Eye Shadow Transforming Potion
Liquid Liner in Roach
I also received a small sample of Urbanglow cream highlight in Sin
