sephora by opi - betsey johnson.

i'm a big fan of betsey johnson. i'm "nontraditional" myself, so i like her funky, edgy designs and the fact that she does whatever the hell she wants. so when i saw she did a line of products with sephora, i knew i had to grab some up!

this is a picture of the minis and their packaging. so cute, am i right?! and a wide array of colors.

this is three coats of "xox betsey". it is a very pale pink creme. 

two coats of "alley cat". it is a bright, vibrant fucshia. 

two coats of "too too turq", a turquoise with a slight shimmer. this color is exclusive to the mini polish set.

three coats of "yellow my name is betsey". a nice, bright, butter yellow. this color is exclusive to the mini polish set as well.

FOUR coats of "son of a gun". i loved this color but come on, four freakin' coats for a polish THAT dark?! no me gusta. maybe it'll be good to layer over another dark polish. this one is also exclusive to the mini polish set.

finally, two coats of "pushing your luck". i was really impressed with this color - normally i have problems with reds being opaque and even but this was a dream to work with.

overall, i'm pleased with this collection. the colors are interesting and unique. if you're interested, you can buy this mini set [along with the other items in the collection] from sephora.

illamasqua - "lament"

i've seen lots of people post about illamasqua, so when i placed an order from sephora recently i decided to add a polish from them. i do not regret it at ALL! this polish is beautiful, application was great and so was the formula. the only complaint i have is that it the square cap was hard for me to get used to. but it's a minor inconvenience!

you can buy illamasqua polishes on their website here, or from sephora.
