Happy Thursday! It's my last day in PA and hopefully I've done a lot of damage with the credit card. I love shopping here because there's no tax on shoes and clothing and it's a mecca of outlets. I've already taken advantage of it by sending some of my online orders to my parent's address. DH needs to get a suit for the wedding too, hopefully he found something! Oh, and who could forget a visit to the mother of all Saks outlets, which is the warehouse location in Maryland. Woot woot!
Recently Forever 21 had an online sale of their makeup, and a bunch of their polishes were marked down to 99 cents. I managed to score only a few after dumping a bunch into my cart and then trying to reason myself down to only three. I really don't need any more polishes in my collection, so I chose only the colors that I knew I was lacking.
First of these is Moonwalk, a pearl white shimmer with holo glitter hexes. Formula seemed gummy somehow, I guess you could say it was on the thick side. It didn't dry as quickly as I like and you can see some brushstrokes from some of the dragging I got towards the tips. I used three coats in these pics. I love how the little holo glitters pop in the sunlight. It adds a bit of edge to an otherwise innocent looking mani. It may be perfect for the wedding that I have to go to this weekend!

Next is my favorite of the ones I got, and that is Sparkling Coral, a lovely coral jelly with bits of iridescent flakies. I love flakie polishes and I could stare at this all day. I could have used two coats for this but instead used three to diminish VNL and to add depth to the flakies. I finished this with a topcoat of Poshe.

Don't you love how the iridescent pieces pick up the purple and pink? I think this may be one of my favorite Love & Beauty polishes evar! Sadly the bottle only reads the color as Coral but it's definitely called Sparkling Coral on the f21.com website. I wonder if there are more colors from Love & Beauty that have flakies... hmm... will have to investigate that some more! What's your favorite cheap flakie polish?
