Holographic Party: Color Club Halo Hues Picks

Hi guys! So When I saw the Color Club Halo Hues collection was coming out, i was amazed at how amazing these polishes looked! They have the holographic quality of China Glaze OMG, Nfu Oh, old OPI DS polishes and many other amazing brands. I only picked up two, because I own sooo many holos ahaand these aren't particularly cheap

This one is Angel Kiss which is a light sea-foam green.
This was three thin coats.


Now, I also got Blue Haven and when they arrived I was suprised how similar these two are.
Maybe because I swatched them one after another, but they look the same to me, especially in the sun.

Essie Butler Please

Hi guys! Today I'm showing you another polish from Essies Winter 2012 collection. This is called Butler Please. It's a medium-dark cobolt blue creme. I'm not immidiatley drawn to these colours for some reason, I like creme light blues, but once they head into medium blue teritory I like them to be shimmery or glittery. 
Anyway, I used three coats here, but you might be able to do two if you're careful with the application because I found this to be a little bit gloopy and harder to work with than other Essie polishes usually are.

LUSH CHRISTMAS HAUL.

Hi guys! Today I wanted to show you a bunch of stuff I got from LUSH recently when all their Christmas stuff came out. I ordered online from Lush Australia for $9 flatrate shipping. I ordered on a friday and had it first thing tuesday morning. You can pay exra for express shipping, but in my experience it is not any faster. This is my first year trying xmas stuff from lush, they were all sold out of the stuff i wanted last year online.


The Melting Snowman Bath Melt
"Exquisitely fragranced with a blend of oils containing vanilla absolute and sweet wild orange, giving him a deep marzipan fragrance with notes of rich fruit, reminiscent of Christmas cake and figgy puddings."
$4.95

Read on After The Jump for the haul!

Essie Where's My Chauffeur? Swatch & Comparison

Hi guys! Today I'm showing you Essie Where's My Chauffeur from their holiday 2012 collection, I can never pass up a turquoise!
I used two fairly generous coats for essies small brush.


I then decided to do a quick comparison with a few popular turquoise shades you might have.
Left to Right:
China Glaze For Audrey, Orly Frisky, Essie Where's My Chauffeur?, Zoya Wednesday, Essie Turqouise & Caicos.


No 100% dupes here, the closest by far was Orly Frisky (In Real Life) While Frisky is more opaque it stains like a bitch which I didn't experience when removing Where's My Chauffeur?

Zoya Ornate 2012: Blaze Quick Swatch

Hi guys! Today I'm showing you Zoya Blaze from the 2012 Ornate collection. This is a berryish red shade with chunky holographic scattered particles without being a glitter lol. I used two coats for full coverage. It reminded me of OPI Ds Extravagance but this is a bit more on the red side but quite similar.
