Polish Lottery - Episode 1

     I've been noticing a lot of people join the Nail Polish Lottery, and also people making up their own version. I think it is a fantastic idea, and wanted to try it out. I decided to do my own thing, and am simply just going to call it 'Polish Lottery', and I'll be doing them by episodes instead of weeks. I don't want to feel obligated to do this every week. Although, I would like to.

     I decided to use Random.org to randomly select a number, since I have all my polishes logged & numbered in a book. I am working on making a full single list though. I'll post about that when I finish with it. Anyways, back to the lottery. Today random.org chose the number 16. Not every brand, or page in my book contains 16 colors, so I randomly opened to pages until i opened to a page containing at least 16. (This will be the method I use until I finish my complete list) I ended up opening to one of my random pages. This particular page started with the number 49. So, I started with that, and counted 16 down.

     The polish that was chosen is from the brand YH Beja, NEVER HEARD OF IT ! James actually gave it to me and said it was from his grandmother. I have absolutely no idea where she got this from, or how much it costs. Anyways, it is a metallic pink, and the bottle is exactly the same as the Kleancolor bottles. I think it's really pretty, but the formula is a bit weird. I noticed some bubbles, on ever nail actually. Also, it has a weird grape-y smell to it. Neither of these things bother me though. So no big deal. Oh, and I applied two coats. Now, here are some pictures !

The polish has no name, just a number. Unless 'cosmetic' is the name. No clue. 

As some of you might know, metallics can be tricky to photograph with flash. This is the only flash picture I took. So much shine!

As you can see, I made a boo-boo on my pointer finger. It is cropped out in the first picture. 

Overall, I like this color. Is it FREAKING AMAZING? No, I wouldn't say that. However, it is a pretty one, and I'm glad I have it.

Pure Ice - Private Show

     One of my most recent polish purchases was of a few Pure Ice polishes from Walmart. I picked up three, but this post is going to be about one (my favorite of the three). I seen this on the shelf and I immediately grabbed two of them without even thinking about it. That's how aware I was that I loved it.

     The name of this specific Pure Ice polish is 'Private Show' , and I am in love with it ! It is a black base with red, pink, blue, and silver glitter. There may be more colors, those were just the ones I could make out.


     Just a little F.Y.I., the swatches are two coats of Private Show over a black polish. Although the black polish isn't entirely necessary. I would guess and say it would be opaque in three coats.
