Current Top 20 Polishes

Hey guys!

This post is gonna be about my current Top 20 polishes at the moment.

I have a good sized collection but there is a lot that I haven't worn/swatched. For that reason, I didn't include those for consideration.

For this reason, my Top 20 will change periodically with new purchases and swatchings.

L to R: SOPI metro chic, Misa high waist hue, OPI merry midnight, OPI sapphire in the snow, NFU-oh 51

L to R: Wet n Wild Crazee in Shield, Essie in Chinchilly, ELF in Blush, ELF in Champagne, ELF in Mod Mauve

L to R: Maybelline in Brown Aluminium, China Glaze in Ruby Pumps, China Glaze in Cords, China Glaze in VII, American Apparel in Dynasty

L to R: Zoya in Jacy, LA Girl in  Addict, La Girl in Indigo (F21 name), LA Girl in Double Platinum, Diamond Cosmetics in Chainmail Charm

I wanted to show you the awesome effect of these two Holos. They are so awesome! Double Platinum is holo glitter and Chainmail Charm is a holo polish.

One word to describe holos? BRILLIANT!

Let's see if my upcoming Transdesign order full of pastels (i hardly have any!), holos, glitter, and new Misa polishes will make the cut for the next Top 20.

Do you have any of these? Would they make your Top 20?

NOTD: Diamond Cosmetics in Decadence

Finally, one of the Diamond Cosmetics polishes!

This is Decadence - a beautiful medium brown with high sparkle effect - almost a foil!

These pictures are pretty accurate and I am SO happy for my new camera. My pics just come out great!

This was one of the Diamond Cosmetics polishes that really stood out to me. The picture on their website just does not do it justice! I believe this was 2 coats and it applied just fine with minimal clean up necessary.
I will say that the brush is a typical cheapy brush that gets the job done but isn't special or anything.

This is definitely a wearable brown even for my light skintone. Typically, I have to be very careful with browns but on the nails, it looks great!

Diamond Cosmetics knows how to do high sparkle almost foil like finishes. I am blown away with how cool they look.

I will say that I hate the label. It just makes the polish look cheap when really, its not (quality wise).
Price wise? These babies are only $2.25 each. (was $2 when I ordered)

You can find these on the Diamond Cosmetics site only.
Shipping was $5.90 for 10 or less items bringing my total just under $26  for these amazing polishes.

I will say that shipping is a bit frustrating.

Once you place your order, you have to wait 2-4  business days for a shipping receipt. For only 10 polishes, this seemed a bit long. And they also ship FedEx Smartpost which I find annoying (First Fedex brings the package to your area, then USPS delivers it) with trying to track it.

But for the price and quality, I will definitely be ordering again very soon! Probably next month! :)

Haul: Diamond Cosmetics, OC Nail Art, and Zoya

Hey guys! So I have been waiting for some packages (some longer than others) and, of course, they all arrived Saturday! Weeeeeee
I'll start with the  smallest which is from Zoya. I ordered last minute from the Zoya Green Friday promotion and 4 of the polishes I ordered were on back order (3 of the greens and 1 I picked out). The first shipment came with 10 polishes and this time i received 2. So I'll just have to wait for the last two... Sigh
Below L to R:
Zoya Freja and Tangy

I also placed another order from OC Nail Art for another plate (i reaaaallly wanted the snowflake image) and 3 more special polishes since my white was running a little low. I ordered them in white (my favorite and the easiest color to work with), silver, and red. I plan on picking up a few more colors soon. Maybe next month?

And lastly, my order from Diamond Cosmetics.

Assuming these go on decently, I would purchase from Diamond Cosmetics again. I already know of a few more I want.But here is what i picked out. Unfortunately, none of them really fit in with the Christmas theme I am going with for the next week so no swatches until later.


I am anxiously awaiting Christmas. This year there are a lot of gifts under the tree, its AMAZING! I grew up a little on the broke side so this just seems unreal. There are so many presents that they are layering each other like crazy. Its all the Boyfriend and his parents. So, can you see why I am excited?

I am really hoping for a camera this Christmas. I take so many pics on my iPhone and now i am blogging regularly... It only seems obvious that a real camera is in need, dontcha think?

The BFs mom said that something was really special but i don't think she would say that about a camera.. Its just not her thing. Maybe jewelry?

If I don't get a camera for Christmas, I just may take the plunge and get one for myself soon. I was hoping to save up for a trip for my 21st bithday (in July) but we'll see...

Anyway, I am spending tomorrow cleaning, cleaning and maybe some rearranging. Including working on a place for me to do my nails. I need a little corner so I will probably move my bed around. It sure is tough sometimes living in a studio but much better than a dorm room!

See ya!
