Welcome To My Joint!
Hello, thank you for visiting my blog. Click on any picture to enlarge and view the Disclaimer at the very bottom.
I think this is
my absolute favorite color ever. This is
China Glaze's "V", five...or Roman numeral five. Now I wouldn't say that it's orange but it's more of a
salmon/peach/coral color. The flash may have made it look brighter than it really is but
I'm in love. This color looks amazing when your wearing a shirt that is any shade of
gray, brown or green. It's a
creme color that goes on darker than what it looks like in the bottle.
Tomorrow is your last day to get this for only $2.25! If you have a
Beauty Club card ($5) at
Sally Beauty Supply, you'll get any CG nail polish for
$3.25 but for the month of
February, there's a
$1 off coupon (limit one) right by the China Glaze rack. I went to two locations this month but the second store didn't have the coupons. =( Luckily, I grabbed an extra one at the first store. I had picked up "Go Crazy Red" on Valentine's Day...for only $2.25!
Here are more nail swatches! I swear I haven't trimmed my nails since I've started doing these but I'm going to cut them in half soon. These are 3 of the 5
Carolyn New York nail polishes from my
"Collective Haulie" post...
Korean Fruit & Flower Stand is so bright that it's almost a neon color and I love it! It's a pinkish-coral creme.
Amber Street Lights is definitely one of my all time favorites because of it's
shimmery rusty orange loveliness. It's such a summer color and I can't wait until the weather warms up.
Sunset on the Hudson is a
sheer peachy-pink with gold shimmer. It's a very wearable color that actually does remind you of a sunset.
Until midnight on Valentine's Day, Carolyn New York is offering two sets of specials for $15 each. A bottle of polish is
regularly $7.99 so this is truly a value pack. Each set comes with a
free bottle of cuticle oil and a
free top coat. I don't really like their top coat though because it's fairly dull-looking but I love their rubber-handled bottles.

I love how they included a "dark hearts" collection for those of us who are single! LoL.
Oh, and if you noticed my
"Sunset" nails picture on the sidebar, that's Amber Street Lights on the tips, Sunset on the Hudson as a base color and for the stripe I used an old discontinued bottle of Revlon Top Speed in Spice. It was a little goopy so the stripe wasn't smooth but I liked how it came out. =)
*UPDATE*Can you believe some anonymous dimwit left me a RUDE COMMENT about how I should cut my nails because they look CHEAP and FAKE. What a JEALOUS BIATCH!!!!! That's the only negative comment I've got about my nails in my whole life. No more anonymous comments from now on.
This one's for you!
Handball Courts is a
lighter grey than Hangin' on the Stoop, but this is
more sheer (I had to use 4 coats, 2 thin & 2 thick) and it has
subtle shimmer in it. Hmm...Hello Kitty "On the Prowl"?
