Aly Loves Lacquer

Hey, everyone! I am back from Puerto Rico. I'm happy to say that the vacation was wonderful, and I am very proud of my tan!

I thought you might like to see all my latest polishes. Some were gifts during the Holidays, some were swaps, and some I bought for myself. Take a look!

I received lots of nail mail today, and wanted to show you all my recent purchases and swaps. Let me know which ones you would like to see swatched first. All polish names will be given left to right. Okay, here we go!

OPI Absolutely Alice was released as part of the limited edition Alice in Wonderland collection.  It is a beautiful glitter, and very popular. I'm really glad I got my bottle early, because now it's selling for crazy prices on ebay. OPI Absolutely Alice is a glitter polish made up of royal blue and gold glitters. It shines like crazy! I have been in love with this color since I got it. It's one of my emptiest bottles of polish.

The pictures are 2 coats of OPI Absolutely Alice and 1 coat Seche Vite.






How gorgeous is that?! Seriously, this is one of the most dynamic and beautiful colors I own. The formula is getting a little wonky on mine, so I think it could use some Seche Restore. But, it still covers well in two coats. Without top coat, Absolutely Alice feels super rough, kind of like sandpaper. But 1 or 2 coats of Seche Vite evened everything out.

Haul :)
I finally got my Zoya polishes in the mail. They were on backorder. Here we have the entire Sunshine Collection and the Mod Mattes Collection Minis, both of which I will be showing you soon. I also received free gifts with the order, Zoya Remove+ and Qtica Smart Spa Grapefruit Surprise Sugar Scrub. I haven't tried Remove+ yet, so I'm really happy to have gotten a free sample. The sugar scrub is AWESOME. I recommend it highly -- my hands are so soft!

Here are polishes I got today. I received Pure Ice Skinny Dip from my parents in a care package. I'm so glad they support my little obsession :) I also got OPI Don't Know...Beet's Me!, OPI Dating a Royal, and OPI DS Diamond. The school salon has a buy 5 get the 6th free deal, so I got Dating a Royal and Don't Know...Beet's Me! for 8 bucks total! Also, I found DS Diamond in the clearance bin! I have no clue why it was there, but it only cost 4 dollars :) I love hunting for htf's.
