Glitter Gal is famous for holographic polishes that are out of this world. They are crazy holographic and come in a wide range of colors. I only own a couple, and Not Another Red is the one I'll be showing off today. Not Another Red lives up to its name -- it's so much more beautiful than all the plain reds out there. It's an orange-leaning red with lots and lots of holo. Take a look at 2 coats of Glitter Gal Not Another Red.

Hi everyone! I'm still in Puerto Rico, hopefully on a beach, daiquiri in hand, reading the final novel in The Hunger Games :D

I had a good response to my last eye makeup look, so here's another I did recently. The palette I used for this look was a super cheap one I picked up at Walgreens, so none of the colors have names. :( On the inner half of my lid I have a gold shimmer shadow, and the outer corner has a light silvery blue shimmer. In the crease is a darker golden bronze. My mascara is Maybelline Great Lash in Blackest Black.

As you're reading this, I am getting my tan on in Puerto Rico! This is my first attempt at using scheduled posts, so fingers crossed that it works!

Today's post is the final polish I received in my January Maven box. Megan is a bright metallic teal. The first coat went on extremely sheer, and I admit I was worried about opacity. But at 2 coats, Megan was completely opaque and super shiny.

I had a lot of trouble making Megan show up color accurate on my pictures. I edited them to get the color as close as I could, but it made my skin look funny. Sorry about that >.<

Hi everyone! Tomorrow I leave for Puerto Rico, so here's another spring Julep color to fit my tropical vacation.

Julep Leah is a bright grass green with lots of pretty shimmer. It came in my January Maven box, along with Hayden and Megan. The shimmer reminded me a bit of ESSENTIAL Emerald by Dr.'s Remedy, but Leah is much more yellow-toned and less dusty. Leah applied beautifully in 2 coats.


What are your favorite tropical or vacation inspired polishes?

First of all, thanks to all of you who have already entered my 400 Follower Giveaway. I've had a great response so far and the jokes you girls are leaving have been cracking me up ! :D

I'm heading to Puerto Rico for vacation in a couple of days, so I decided to swatch some summery colors for you. I love vampy shades, but I need a break from all the dark colors. Today I have Julep Hayden, which came in my January Maven box. Hayden is a super bright peach crème that was opaque in 2 coats. In my opinion, it could definitely use some thinner. Nonetheless, Julep Hayden is very unique and it makes my skin look so tan!

Hey, all! I am having a giveaway to celebrate passing the 400 Follower mark! Thanks so much to each and every one of you. I love you guys :)
