Must Have: Milani 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer!


Chubby Fingers Alert! I had been looking for some nail lacquer Holo's and felt it was perfect timing when I happened to walk right into these babies :) The Milani 3D Holographic nail lacquer....I bought three out of the six that they had, or is it seven? I'm not sure but I love these!! I know China Glaze has a Holo collection but I'll have to look into it to see if it's still available....The Milani 3D Holo's are very affordable....I just paid $3.99 for mine....Please let me know what you think of my Nails of the Day Foto, I really don't like doing Nail posts since my nails are so short and my hands are so FAT, lol!!! But I made an exception since I loooove this color and this collection so much :)
So this is the color I'm wearing called Hi-Tech....A very nice lime green...Holo's are very noticable with this one....
Here are the other two I got, Digital which is a dirty rose color and Hi-Res which is a lilac lavender color.... Holo's are outstanding in the Digital and Hi-Tech but not so much in the Hi-Res which is why I'm returning it on Monday so I can test out the other colors!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

January Haul 3 of 3

I've sort of been on a nail polish kick, I think this is my second one like in the past 6 months....anyways, I've been debating whether or not to just buy OPI at Ulta or simply order them online (transdesign) for a bit cheaper, the only problem with that is that you can't see the true color. But in spite of all that I just decided to pick up a few colors anyways! This is my last haul of January and I have already picked up more stuffies, including nail polishes but that won't be featured until my February haul.

So on to the details :)

During the Sephora clearance I got the Cargo lipduo in Oulu, which one side is a jelly balm berry color-very sheer and the other a frosty lavender, sheer as well. I got the Cargo eye quad in Tahiti (this one I've been dying to get but could not since it was so expensive, I have the neutral one).
A few things from Sally's: My 2 nail files by Soft Touch extra fine, China Glaze NP In the Limelight-neon, Pro NP in Molten Copper, and I found a California Mango Hand/nail care kit for $4.99.
At Trade Secrets I got OPI NP Pink-ing of you, Short's Story, and Essie's Mint Candy Apple (which I've been eyeing!)...and if you use the new Trade Secrets membership you get 10% off each time you shop. The OPI Melon of Troy I got from Target.
I found a few Sally Hansen items at my local Dollar store so I got 2 18 hr lip treatments in Clear Pink...Clear Nude is not pictured, 3 Comfort Shine Lip glazes in Cupcake, Sugar Cookie, and Fresh Strawberry, and 2 Sally Hansen Collagen lip lifts in Sheer Spa Sandalwood and Sheer passionate pink. All $1 each.
From my last haul I returned MAC in Lillyland Pearlmatte because the color was not intense enough and my Strobe cream because I couldn't tell a difference in my complexion, I switched those out for a lipstick in Freckletone.
Last but not least I bought some Bissu eye quads in #30 and 35 from my pal in Dallas. Theses are really good, they are super pigmented and can only be found in Mexico from what she told me.

January 2010 Faves

It isn't much but I do have some other items that are constantly my favorite's such as my MAC SFF, my Prescriptives camo concealer and my Urban Decay primer potion...I felt it wouldn't be entertaining to have the same exact things on my faves list each month :) haha, then it wouldn't be called the faves of the month, it would just be my HG list. lol
Anyways, I'm sorry this is so late coming, I took some pics like on the last weekend of January and they all came out blurry, not good. Because my camera has been acting weird, possibly because of the settings, I decided to take this pic in natural lighting, I hope you can see it! I'm hoping to get a better camera sometime next month :)

These are the items that I've been attracted to every day, when I go to work I throw these in my makeup bag and all together creates beautiful results....I just don't have time to take it off if I don't like the way it looks but with these items I can never go wrong! :)

here is my list:
-Cosmedicine Honest Face tinted moisturizer Medium
-Milani Glimmerstrips in Berry Glimmer
-MAC lipstick in Syrup
-Urban Decay lipgloss in Doug
-Line Stiletto by Maybelline
-Covergirl Professional mascara in black
