Lindsey at Maisie Shine sent me a bottle of the beautiful Bellini to review. I was so excited when I saw which polish she sent. It's absolutely gorgeous in the bottle, but once it was on my nails I was in love. I really didn't know what to expect with this polish. It's a shimmery, sheer, pale peach with gold holo hex glitter and gold micro glitter, so my first worry was, "How sheer is this going to be?" In the end, I never needed to worry. This is a gorgeous color. On it's own, it was perfect in 3 coats, and stunning in 1 coat over a nude base. I even tested it over 10 different colors to see what it would look like. By the end, I was definitely wanting to hunt down a peach bellini to drink (even though I don't really drink).
**WARNING** Picture heavy!
My goal this weekend was to buy for my swap boxes, not for myself. I did have a few that I ended up hiding at CVS that I wanted that I went back to get for myself. Those were the only ones I had planned on getting for myself. Then on a trip to Ulta, I came across a Zoya on clearance that I couldn't leave behind and then a couple at Giant when I went on a run to grab some things. I don't think I did badly! But I also got some nail mail goodies! Lots of nail mail goodies! I'm going to start with my mini hauls then go on to the nail mail.

Last night I REALLY wanted to try my first tape mani. I failed miserably and will be trying that again at a later date. Then, I thought I would attempt a sponge mani. Once again, I failed miserably. At that point, I decided to try something different. After my dark Grimm inspired mani, I wanted something bright and cheerful. I had 3 bright colors and a sparkly top coat from my previous failed manis that I knew I needed to use.
I have just recently realized that there is a Sally's Beauty Supply practically next door to my Ulta. I think I might have been blind or something. So, when I found out they were having a B2G1 Free sale, of course I had to go! The main things on my list were: a bottle of Gelous, a new bottle of Seche Vite, and a matte top coat. Want to take a guess on what I walked out with? Come on... I know you want to... That's right, I walked in for 3 items and I walked out with 12 (The 2 not shown are a bottle of nail polish remover and a package of nail wheels). Here comes the eye candy!!

Haul
CVS Trip 3/23/12
As I said in my video, I had to take my daughter to the doctor today (just a check up, no worries), so after I told her we could go to CVS (she loves it there and is starting to take after me it seems). I needed cotton balls anyways. So, I always let her pick a few Wet 'n' Wild polishes. The $0.99 ones are perfect for her. The display was pretty bare and there were only 6 colors left, so of course she decides they ALL need to come home with us. I was perfectly ok with that, but then I see a Spoiled color I need. So, my cotton ball trip turned into a mini haul. Here are the lovely ladies that found a home with us today!
