Another incredible International Swap!!!

This one from Gejba Parokeets, over at Parokeets She is incredible. I love her swatching, and her pictures are AWESOME! She gave me a mention last week when she recieved my swap package...I was so excited! It was like a celebrity KNEW MY NAME!!! So, on to the pictures!!!
First off, let me say, I LOVE Catrice polish! It is AMAZING in 1 coat!
Ok, on to the list!!!

Top Row: Essence Color & Go Princess Prunella, Time For Romance, and Blue Addicted (a DEAD ON DL Across the Universe dupe.)

Second Row: Essence Just Can't Get Enough, Waking Up In Vegas, and Feels So Good, Catrice Sold Out Forever (a BEAUTIFUL mint green with blue sparkles that DO NOT SHOW UP IN PICTURES), and Poison Me, Poison You.

Third Row: Ruby Kisses Crazy Night Out, Catrice I'm A Star..., Blues Brothers Vol. 2, I Sea You!, Back to Black, I Wear My Sunglasses At Night, and After Eight.

and LOTS of slovenian candy!!!YUM!!!!

Lets get some swatches:

First off, one is Across the Universe, one is Blue Addicted...I think I will keep it a secret which is which. ;)

(ok, DL is first then Essence)

 

Alright, this is 1 coat...ONE COAT!!! Thumb to pinky:

Back to Black, After Eight, Blues Bro v 2, I'm A Star..., and I Wear My Sunglasses At Night

It's hard to see, but Sunglasses is a little like Fantasy Makers Black Magic with the fuschia and teal sparkles, I'll have to do a comparison...

 

The all of these are 1 coat except where noted, again thumb to pinky:

I Sea You!, Sold Out Forever (2 coats), Poison Me, Poison You (I LOVE this color), Princess Prunella (2 coats), and Time For Romance (over black)

 

 OOOOOOOOOOH, and the Essence topcoats!!! Pinky Feels So Good (rose shimmer) over I Wear My Sunglasses At Night, Ring: Just Can't Get Enough (scattered holo) over I'm A Star..., and middle, Waking Up In Vegas (FLAKIE!!!) over Blues Bros v2

This is Time For Romance and Crazy Night Out alone, over The One That Got Away, then over black.

I had to pull this out...it's just so pretty!

Thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH, Gejba! this was an AWESOME swap!!!

another Halloween Swap!

This one from the lovely Mandy over at http://www.muddinmakeupmayhem.com/. She is 97 different kinds of awesome. Lets take a look at what was included...

why yes, that is a Mandy Franken...Thanks for noticing!

 

WOW!!! this is beautiful! its a dark, vampy, lovely maroon with red and silver glitter...just beautiful.

These are the Coach polishes. I'd never seen coach polishes before. These are nice.

 the brown and the light pink are 3 coats, the other 2 are only 2.

These are the pigments. my FIRST pigments!!! 

(Ignore the wild brows. I am fully aware I need a waxing!)

Wonder Woman lipgloss!!!

I loved Wonder Woman as a kid. I was always lassoing my brother with my Lasso of Truth! 

I am falling more and more in love with MAC lipgloss!!!

This one is Athena's Kiss

So that was it, that was my awesome Halloween swap with Mandy!!!

 Oh, bonus pic...So I have been becoming increasingly bored with my hair, I needed a change. I am not one to CUT my hair, I usually change it in any other way. I have not colored my hair since 09 when I dyed it pink. I'll do it pink again soon, possibly in spring. Anyway, this is a before/after.

Whaddya think? yay/nay?

WOO HOO!!! Halloween Swap!

A bunch of ladies and I did a big Halloween swap. Today is the big reveal! This is MINE! Katie E. had me, and she did an AWESOME job!!!

Oh yeah, those are 2 frankens you see!!!

A girl after my own heart, GLITTER AND PURPLE!!!  

I absolutely ADORE this polish!!!

and THIS, it is awesome!!! It smells like pumpkin spice. It's soooooo cute. It's a jelly thing in the shape of a pumpkin with a witches hat.

Awesome Swap from Barcelona!

Ok, this is going to be pic HEAVY!!! These polishes are from the WONDERFUL Ruth from Barcelona! I told her to suprise me...and oh boy did she ever. The polishes are going to get worn, ALOT! enough talk onto the pictures!!!
So this first one is Flormar U33. This is all kinds of sparkly duochromey goondess. This is 2 coats. It went on sooooooo easily, I wonder if there are more like this, I am going to have to look for swatches of others.

 This is Essence Mystic Mermaid over Flormar U33. It has pink and teal sparkleys. i think this will get a lot of use. :)

Ok, This Flormar U15. It is extremely sheer, so it needs to be layered, doesn't make it any less spectacular. Here it is layered over U33. Ruth picked some awesome polishes!!! 

 And here it is layered over Black, Hard Candy Pretty in Pink, Color Club Yum Gum, Funky Finger Volcanic, ChG Light As Air, CC Pucci-licious, ChG Spontaneous, and just for giggles, ChG Turned up Turquoise

Essence Ballerina Backstage Grand Plie in Black...yes, it REALLY is that shiny. This is NO TOPCOAT...unbelievable.

 And lastly Essence Purple Diamond. Incredible foily goodness! It has a kind of satin finish when dry, not ultra gloss, but not matte.

So what do you think, how did Ruth do with the suprises?!?

I think she did AWESOME!!!

Thank you SOOOO much for the incredible swap, Ruth!!!
