SWATCHES: Hits "Demeter"

I have been seeing a lot of orange holos lately, so I decided to dig through my untrieds and try mine on. 

I have to say, I didn't really like this shade on me. These pictures are indoors, so the holo effect isn't as dramatic as it would be in outdoors. The formula was decent, but really thin. Even after 3 coats, I still had VNL. I hate that. 

Anyway, here's my on the nail swatches. This is 3 coats of Hits "Demeter": 

So what do you think of this color? 

Swaps from Jin and Lisa

I have some of the best polish friends. I luz them soooo much!!! Look at all this nail mail I got from a few of them last week.

First up, is a very sweet swap from my friend Lisa. 

I love these colors and I love that she did a holiday theme. How cute!!! 

 Revlon Mon Cherry

Pure Ice Celestial

Pure Ice Don't You Wish

Next up is a stupendous swap package from my friend Jin from Superficially Colorful. I have grown very close to Jin in a very short amount of time. She is friendly, funny, and she is helping to introduce me to products in Isreal. I luz her!!! 

Thank goodness I hurried up and took a picture of the candy inside the box, because not a moment later, I walked away and came back to my 2 year old toddler, Roman, foraging through it like an animal.

And here's the beauties that were inside the box: 

I finally added my last tombstone WnW to my collection. Two mini Zoya Mod Mattes and another Mari Moon Hits...so my other one won't be lonely. SCORE!!! 

Zoya Lolly

Hits Mari Moon

Wet N Wild Black Magic

Zoya Mitzi

 Not even a day after receiving Jin's first lovely package, a second one arrived. YAY!!!!! Packed with all kinds of goodies. And MORE CANDY!!! I actually got to enjoy some of the candy from this package. 

These are yummy scented, tinted lip balms. They are very alike to the Revlon Baby Lips. I love them! 

What a great swap package! Jin is so thoughtful and sweet. 

Perfect Chic Red Metalix. This is a new and welcomed brand to my collection. 

 And here's a random shot of what's on my feet and toes. It's Sinful Colors Mint Apple layered with Sally Hansen Glass Slipper. Does anyone else try to match their toes and hands? I usually don't. I wish I had better pictures of this mani, because it really was quite stunning in person. It looked like mint colored glass on my fingers. 

Welp...that's all for this post. Stay tuned for my official store opening sometime later today. 

Nail Mail from BRAZIL

Want to know the best thing about blogging? It's meeting new people and making new friends. Polish collecting and blogging has been, by far, on of the funnest hobbies I've had.

Here's a swap I received from my friend Juliana, from My Nail Polish Addiction sent me the most amazing assortment of Brazilian polishes. She packaged them so carefully and did such a great job choosing colors.

Mmmm...Kit Kat Balls. We don't have these in the states. What a treat! 

Lookie!!! My first Hits!!!!! 

Thanks Juliana! You're awesome!!! And so are Brazilian polishes!
