SinfulColors Sheer Lustre Glitter Topcoats

Hey guys!

*Products were sent for review*


SinfulColors is releasing the Sheer Lustre Glitter Topcoats collection, "designed to be worn over and SinfulColors nail polish to add extra bling to any look. Choose from 6 sheer glittery topcoats designed to transform your fave shades to instant glitz and glam."

Girl's Best Friend is a pink and blue microglitter. This is one coat over OPI My Vampire Is Buff. This glitter was quite dense and easy to apply. One coat was perfect.




Glittery in Pink is a blush pink glitter in assorted sizes. This was one coat over Wet n Wild Black. Again, easy to apply and no issues with fishing any glitters out of the bottle.




Both of these glitters were easy to apply and I had zero trouble with either one. They were packed with glitters, making them easy to apply! I think my favorite was the Glittery in Pink, I'm loving the blush colors right now!

This collection is available exclusively at Walgreens for Holiday 2013 for $1.99

SinfulColors Holiday Tinsel Collection

Hey guys!

*Products were sent for review*

SinfulColors is releasing two collections for the holidays, to help embellish your little black dresses and zazz up your nails!

The first one up is the Holiday Tinsel collection "offers a festive flourish that's worth celebrating. Each holiday-inspired shade is infused with glitter that gives nails a just-tinseled touch." Now, if you are a fan of bar glitter, you will love these!

Both of these are one coat over a base color, with no topcoat.

Gold Tinsel is a gold and what looks like champagne colored bar glitter. One coat over Julep Josephine. This polish was especially packed with glitter and one coat was plenty of glitter on the nail.





Silver Rainbows is a silver holographic bar glitter. One coat over Nicole by OPI Challenge Red-y.



 This collection is available exclusively at Walgreens and retails for $1.99

Hey guys!

*Products were provided for free in exchange for my honest opinion.*

SinfulColors has released a collection of 7 Mirror Metallics for the Holidays! I was lucky enough to get 4 of these bad boys to share with you today!

All of these were two coats and I had no issues with application.

First, Triple Platinum. This is a light lilac shade with a silver tint.




Next, Gold Medal.


Purple Heart


Finally, Blue Steel.



These were all really lovely shades. My favorite was the Blue Steel, which probably doesn't surprise anyone :-)

Target Influencer: My Kind Of Holiday - A Gift Guide For Kids

Hey guys!

This post is a little different; it's a holiday gift guide for kids! Target Influencer approached me about doing a blog post showcasing some great gift ideas for kids. Since you know I love Target, I though this sounded like a fun thing! I know it's not beauty related but I know a lot of my readers have kids and who doesn't need more ideas for great gifts?

I have a few gifts for girls, a few for boys, and a few for either child!

For Boys:

First of all, what boy doesn't like Nerf products? My 27 year old brother and 33 year old husband still like Nerf! There is a whole section of Nerf that I didn't even know existed!

Nerf FireVision Football 


Next is super hero propaganda. Super heroes have never been hotter, I know my nephews are very into these toys! Shoot, I love all of the movies, why wouldn't a little boy?


For Boys or Girls:
Board games! I'm a huge nerd and I love board games! Guess Who? was always one of my favorites!


Memory and Chutes and Ladders are also fun!


For girls:

Obviously, Barbie comes to mind immediately! There are so many different kinds of Barbies now, I had no idea! LOL Notice how Barbie's are BOGO 50% off this week??


Princess Dress Up accessories! Please tell me what little girl doesn't want to be a princess???

And this is something that I wanted when I was a kid/teenager: a cash register! I've always loved buttons and wanted a working cash register for as long as I could remember! The Play Circle Cash Register is perfect!

For The Younger Kids:
My Pal Violet/My Pal Scout is the cutest thing ever. You can program the toy to your child's specifications, such as name, favorite color, food, etc. etc. I'm not gonna lie... I almost programmed this to my name because it asks for hugs. IT ASKS FOR HUGS, people. Cutest. Thing. Ever.


And of course, stuffed animals. I love stuffed animals, I always have and I always will. They are snuggly and lovely and easy to wash!

Well, I hope this gave you some good ideas for gifts for any child you might have to buy a gift for this Christmas season. What gifts will you be buying this holiday season?

Lac Attack Magical Mischief Swatches!

Hey guys!

Today I have swatches of the newest collaboration from Lac Attack and Glitta Gloves: Magical Mischief!

Here are the bottles, all neatly labeled with the labels facing the same way. Sigh. This makes me so happy. I know I mention it every time I review Lac Attack polishes but it is seriously one of the first things I check when I get new polishes, lol.



First, Loony Lovegood, a light purple/lilac jelly with light blue and pink glitter and stars. This was 3 coats. Can you tell I haven't swatched in a while?! This does have topcoat because I was in a terrible hurry and didn't wait at all in between coats. So the lumpiness is 100% my fault.


The Brightest Witch, a teal crelly with assorted purple, black, silver, and turquoise glitters. This was 3 coats, no top coat.



Weasley Is Our King, an orange shimmer. I really liked this one. I don't know why I'm loving orange polish so much but I do! This was 2 coats, no top coat.

 With Flash:


The Chosen One over Weasley Is Our King. This is one coat of the red and gold glitter topper. Very fun!

Close up because CIRCLE GLITTER!


Mad-Eye is a black and blue glitter with tiny bar glitter. This is one coat over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.




These all had a very good formula, the error on Loony Lovegood is totally my fault.

The Magical Mischief collection is available for pre-order now on lacattack.com! What are you waiting for?!

SinfulColors Crystal Crushes Review

Hey guys!

*The products in this post were provided for free in exchange for my honest opinion*

Today I have two polishes from the SinfulColors Crystal Crushes collection to share with you!

"Crystal Crushes is a brilliant collection of gem-inspired nail polish shades with multi-faceted 3D texture. Gorgeous matte colors flecked with a reflective pearl finish sure to dazzle your digits and make your heart skip a beat.

Featuring 8 vivid shades sprinkled with an angel dust finish."

The two shades I have are Treasure Chest, a sea green and Got A Blush On You, a fuchsia.

First, Treasure Chest. This was two coats. The formula on these was pretty good, not thick or goopy. I might have been able to do one coat with this shade, if I had used a thicker coat.




Got A Blush On You was the same as Treasure Chest. This is two coats, good formula.



I really liked these. I honestly don't know if I would have purchased these had they not been sent to me but I'm glad I did try them!

These are available exclusively at Walgreens for Fall 2013 for $2.99.

Lac Attack Tricks & Treats

Hey guys!

So these were totally for Halloween but I'm showing them late, whoops. I blame Avery. (when is it not acceptable to blame your kid for things anymore?)

First, Vampire Bite. This is a fuchsia jelly with black glitter and white shards of glitter. 3 coats.





Spiced Pumpkin is a mixture of orange, green, pink glitters. This was only 2 coats! Obvy this is perfect for laying but I used it on its own here.



Sugar Skull is a mixture of square, circle and skull glitters in a clear shimmery base. This is one coat with some blobbage over Sinful Cold Leather. The circle glitters aren't curling, they are a bit holographic! The skull wasn't laying perfectly flat.


There ya go! Check out Ana's shop at LacAttack.com!
