Personal Challenge-Absolute! & Avon Nailwear Pro Polish Swatch & Review

Absolute!

These two colors don't have a name. They are simply a pastel pink and pastel purple. I buy these regularly. So it's safe to say these are part of my favorites! They are so pretty. These are very thick and creamy and can clump easily, but you can thin it out with some nail polish remover. They are $1.99 at my local beauty supply.

These are a few of Absolutes Metallic Crackles. The names are simply (left to right) lilac, blue, pink, silver. They are very pretty. You have to be careful when applying them, but I think that's with any crackle. You can't go over the same spot twice (meaning you can't put a layer of crackle over a layer of crackle), you won't see any crackle effect. The only thing I don't like is that these are little high for Absolute!, $5.99 on their website.

Avon

I love these polishes, you've seen them before in my water marble mani and my so empowered post. They go on smoothly and are thick, but not overly, so you could only use one coat. The first 4 products are from Spring/Summer 2012 and are not currently available at Avon :( So, I'll be saving these. I did some searching and found very few on Amazon and eBay, the prices range $5-$9. These were a gift from my mom, so I got lucky. However, Avon is having a great sale on other colors from their Nailwear Pro collection online for $3.49. Empower is on sale for $2.99, along with other colors from the Speed Dry Collection.

Hey Loves!!! I hope you all had a good weekend. I've learned some really good lessons over the past few days. Most importantly, life is very short...you have to live for you and no one else! Rock out and enjoy it with love! I've been blogging now for a little more than two months. I'm so honored that you all check in with me and have enjoyed what I've been doing so far. In celebration of YOU, I want to do my second giveaway! Just in time for Halloween, I'm giving away the OPI So So Skullicious mini set with decals. I first heard about this set from the lovely Nails Beautiqued . She did some amazing swatches of these four polishes and I just had to have them, you can check out her review here ! I ordered the set for $6.80 from Amazon, but then my sister gave me the same set yesterday as an early birthday present (October 22nd)! So, I'm sharing the love with you.

La Couleur Couture Nail Lacquer 1964 Hermes Orange

I ordered this polish through Hautelook last week sometime. I was interested in it because I haven't heard of this brand before, but then again, there are a lot of brands I still have yet to try! This brand is 3-free and vegan friendly. The price tag was a little pricey for me at $9.00, but it was discounted from what the price will normally be at $16, so I went for it. They had some pretty colors and I really couldn't decide which one to get. I like the way they name the colors, they are named after years. I opted for 1964. Hautelook called it 1964 Hermes Orange. It's a thick and creamy orange, the color reminds me of pumpkin pie, umm LOL. I fell in love with it surprisingly and am sure I will wear it a lot, it's a great orange for the fall. It applied very nicely, not streaky, here I used two coats. I tried to capture the color in different light, but I'm not good at taking pics, sorry, lol. Hopefully, you can see it well. I'm not sure when and where it will...

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hey Lovelies!!! There are many things going on throughout the year to educate and raise awareness about breast cancer. Philadelphia held a Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in May and will hold a 3-day walk on October 5th-7th. However, October is designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there are some cool things going on in the blogosphere, where you can get involved and show your support. I posted last week about the Beauty By Krystal Cosmetics Donation Bin for Breast Cancer. She will be collecting donations up until the holidays. Check her out if you can! April, at Glitter Gloss Garbage is hosting 30 Days of Pink for the Cure challenge. Each day you can post a link of yourself wearing pink. It can be anything, makeup, clothing, or polish. You can post whenever you can, it doesn't have to be daily. I'll be participating in this throughout the month. If you'd like to participate click on the picture below. Hope ...
