Makeup Blog Sale

I am keeping this separate from my nail polish blog sale because I don't foresee updating as often as I had updated my polish blog sale.

All items are as stated.  All prices are firm.  $10 minimum purchase.  Shipping is $2.50 per. for the first item, $0.50 for each additional item. Add DC for $0.50.  International shipping is available at the actual cost of shipping.  Paypal invoices only!!  I will not accept "gift" payments.  Sanitizing will be left up to you.  All items have been kept in a Helmer in a cool, dry place.

Please email me at yesterdaysnail AT gmail DOT com ONLY!  DO NOT LEAVE  COMMENT ON THE BLOG AS I WILL NOT RESPOND TO IT.  I will not hold items for longer than it would take to complete the transaction.  Do us both a favor and don't request something only to back out by not responding to emails.  It's a waste of both of our time.

Crowstoes: Shoot The Butterfly

 photo DSC07804_zps17c8c3c5.jpg

3 thin coats.  Pure perfection!  This is Cowstoes: Shoot The Butterfly from the new Spring This collection.  The name of the polish fits the color and concept to a T.

A very squishy black jelly base with medium sized orange holographic hex glitters, tiny white matte glitters and a sprinkling of blue/violet iridescent, translucent glitters.

The 1st coat lays down very patchy and uneven...as most jelly finishes will.  The 2nd coat filled in the patchiness but, the base was still too light for my liking.  The 3rd coat made it perfect!  The polish flows nicely from the brush as I did not have to fish for any glitter.  The orange hexes did tend to clump together in small patches at times but they were easily repositioned with minimal effort.  I only had to use 1 coat of top coat (Hong Kong Girl in the case) to get it 95% smooth.  I can still feel the shape of the glitter on some nails when I run my finger over a nail but none of the edges are sticking out.  For my tastes, I would still consider this completely smooth with the single coat of top coat.

This collection will be available for purchase wherever Crowstoes polishes are sold.  I can't wait to try out the rest of the collection!  There is a purple and a couple of nudes that are especially calling my name!

Lazy photo dump and Blog Sale updated!

YES...I still love nail polish.  YES...I am still actively collecting.  No...I don't paint my nails everyday.  NO...I don't take a photo of every NOTD I do.  Sad, but true.

All in all...I don't have the time I used to.  I still WANT to blog and will do so when I can...just not as often as I did when I started unfortunately.

Here is the latest photo dump.  I don't have info on when these were taken and will try to be correct with polishes used in layering combos if applicable.

ENJOY!!

Comparison request: BoF vs Carrie

Quick and dirty post and run.  A request was made for a comparison between Lynnderella's Bride of Franken versus Darling Diva Polish's Carrie.  I happened to have both handy so I figured I'd give it a go.

First up, bottle shots.  BoF on the left, Carrie on the right.



Again, but in different lighting.



From the bottles, you can see the base colors are different.  BoF is a very pale violet/lavender shade.  Carries is more of a magenta/pink.  The glitter shapes are different as well.  BoF has micro glitter and small, iridescent hexes.  Carrie also has micro glitters and iridescent hexes with the addition of square iridescent glitters and possibly another shade of iridescent hex which appears to have a green/gold/red shift to it.

Here are some nail swatch shots.  Please excuse the awkwardness of the shots...these are my right pinky and ring finger you are seeing.  They were swatched over 2 coats of Nails Inc. Baker Street...which I will review soon.




1 coat of each here, no top coat.  BoF on the left, Carrie on the right.  Carrie has more glitter in it which is evident at one coat.  Both of these needed to be lightly dabbed on to get everything on evenly.




2 coats each here, no topcoat.  Again, you can see the glitter is denser in Carrie.

So, my conclusion....these are absolutely not dupes nor are they close to being dupes other than they both appear to have some disco glitter in them.  They are both gorgeous and I would never replace either in my collection.

Zoya Zuza

What?!?!  Delurking for a post?!?!

Hi everyone!  Happy hump day!  The weather here is nice today...woke up to drizzle and gloom which has melted away to a sunny but overcast day.  I can't wait for fall!

So, about a week ago I got a box full of Zoyas from the last big promo they had.  I hadn't bought a Zoya in several collections so I felt it was time to do a mini stock up.  The latest collections did not disappoint me!  I couldn't decide between FeiFei, Carly, Zuza, Frida, Paloma, Kimber, Natty or Daul.  I ended up letting the boyfriend pick...he never disappoints either :)

His choice....Zuza!!

 

2 coats over my regular base, topped with ProFX QDTC.
I love that this changes tones on me a bit in different lights.  Sometimes it looks cool, others it has a slight warmth to it.



I love the chunky shimmer particles in this.  It's not quite glitter but still larger than shimmer.

Now, if only Zoya will make a polish named Tara...and it HAS to be the most awesome purple you have ever seen!!!

Chanel Nouvelle Vague

Finally getting a minute to make a new post.

This is a polish that I have had sitting for over a year.  I actually forgot I had it until I started re-organizing my stash!  I just got a new Helmer to add to the fleet and was able to get my stash a little more tidy again.

 
2 coats of NV.  It was horribly streaky on the 1st coat but evened nicely on the 2nd.


Shade shot.  Such a pretty pastel blue? Green?  What the heck color is this?  Seafoam?  And look, Ma....no lobster hands!!

As much as I love Chanel, they tend to chip quicker on me for some reason.  The next morning I had a couple of small tip chips so I decided to distract with glitter!


2 thinly dabbed coats of Lynnderella Pentimento.  So much fun!!

Thanks for looking and hope you are having a true Sunday Funday!
