Swatches: Princessa Nail Polish

In my last post I talked about the new Ross store and the nail polish I got there. Here are the swatches!

It is called Princessa. I have never seen it before or even hear about it. There were a couple different sets but I decided on the French Manicure one because I do not have many nude colors and these seemed like a  nice set to get. There are no names on the bottles so I went to their website but still couldn't find anything.
The tag line on the box label is "There is no such thing as natural beauty". Hmmmmmm...... I am not so sure that is a wise thing to put on the packaging, it sure wouldn't be my first choice.

The colors themselves are very easy to apply, dry pretty quick and are great colors for French Manicures! Haha!!!! The stripers are also very nice and I know they will come in handy. This set also came with a top coat, it isn't too bad but I think I will stick with my normal top coat unless I really need to use this one.
The bottle top shape hurts my hand a little when I open it but it isn't that big of a deal.
My favorite is the medium nude (second one). It has this really pretty pink shimmer and it catches the light.

**Update** The white striper's top broke off when I unscrewed it again. I took it back to Ross and got a different set because they did not have this same one. I guess the stripers won't come in handy....

My made up names: dark nude, medium nude, medium nude pink, light nude, white striper, red striper

Collection: New Nail Things!

I just got back from Chicago! I went with my school's orchestra for five days to tour, explore, and play music! It was super fun. While there we got to stop at a mall and I couldn't resist going into the Sephora. I have never purchased anything there because I think it is really expensive but this time I found some great deals in the clearance basket.

First up is this crackle polish called "Blasted Opalescent". It looks very nice on dark colors. I tried it out while I was there (yup, I brought some nail polish). That manicure is in my next post for today.

I also got these cool nail art stickers. They are cute little holographic butterflies! I feel spring nail art coming up... 

In my city a Ross Dress for Less store just opened and I went today to check out their clothes and also because I heard they have nail polish. They sure did! I got one set of a brand called Princessa. I also found a nice dress and a hanging jewelry holder. I love Ross now!! It is like Tj Maxx but I like Ross just a little bit more. I will add swatches of this nail polish to another post because this one is so long. 

Today I also stopped in at Sally's Beauty Supply, it is right next to the Ross store and I needed to get some more nail art wheels but I also found more treasures. 

In the clearance I found Christmas nail art decals, and Trendy Nail Wraps in Christmas snowflakes.

I also needed some new nail hardener. I found this Nail Life Nail Revitalizer. The lady gave me some tips on using it so hopefully it will help  stop my nails from peeling. I had to cut them down recently from  breaks caused by the peeling.
