NAIL MAIL! Awesome Swap Package From My Friend Jen

I got a super awesome nail package last week from my good friend Jen from My Nail Polish Obsession. We have been friends and polish swap buddies for quite some time now. I love how thoughtful and creative her swap packages are. 

So here's what she sent: 

I am lucky enough to own several of these textured sand polishes. I have heard a few people ask if their are dupes for the orange shades. Here's a side by side comparison of Zoya, OPI and Julie G orange textured polishes. As  you can see, they are quite different: 

So what do you think of this swap package? Do you swap polishes with anyone? 

Revlon "Girly" + Stamping =

Check out this "Girly" mani I did! 

I used 3 coat of Revlon "Girly" as a base for this manicure. It's a pink jelly polish loaded with silver, blue, pink and purple glitters. It's a very pretty color and builds nicely on the nail. 

 For the stamping I used Konad Special White and a girly flower design from the third set of Bundlmonster Plates. 

So what do you think of this mani? Too girly? Something you would wear? 

STASH ADDITIONS: Revlon "Heavenly" and "Girly"

My local drugstores ALMOST never have anything new in a timely fashion. That is until now! 

I stumbled across these two new Revlon lovelies when I was shopping and snatched them up with a quickness. Especially since "Girly" was on my WISHLIST. 

Here's two coats of each on clear swatch spoons: 

So what do you think of these two Revlon polishes? Do you have them already? 

NEW YEAR MANI: Black + Silver + Glitter + Stamping =

I put together this simple but glitzy mani to wear for the New Year holiday. 

For the base I used Revlon "Silver Dollar" and Covergirl "Black Diamond". Both are dreamy polishes with great formula. Here's two coats of each. 

I enjoy the holiday. I partake in a fun night of drinks, friends, "pork and kraut" and watching the ball drop on television. I may try to do my nails one more time for the New Year. I'm thinking of doing "the ball" from NY City. Not sure how I want to do that though.

So what do you think of my New Year mani? What are your traditions/resolutions/plans for the day? 

If I don't write again before the holiday, I want to wish you and yours a wonderful, happy, healthy and productive new year!
