Well no friggen wonder...



















This polish was found at Big Lots for $2 - Paint and Peel in Crush.  I was surprised to read that it's Canadian.  However I'm not surprised they were selling it at Big Lots.  This is 2 coats and although the finish looks nice here, it's really not.  The texture of it was pretty uneven.



















I stamped it with BM20 in OPI's Russian Navy Matte.  And again I should have left it alone haha.  But I had this great idea...



















And once again the execution didn't go so well.  The problem was that I bought some really shitty tape and the OPI polish actually ate through it!  I was peeling tons of little polish covered pieces of tape off my fingers and I ended up getting pissed off and freehanding some really uneven lines...oh well.

So the Paint and Peel?  Yeah I peeled it.  You can't put 'peel' in the name of a polish and expect us not to peel it right?  So did it peel off?  Sure.  Did it peel off cleanly?  Fuck no.  Did it damage my nails?  Hell yes!  Will I wear this polish again? Fuck no.  And that is why this polish is sold at Big Lots.

Hauliday

So I spent 10 days on vacation in Florida and had a blast.  Found tons of awesome polishes and spent way too much money.  In fact I bought several before I even got on the plane.  We flew out of Flint so I made a pit stop at Meijer's to pick up some Studio M polishes:



















L-R: Gel-ous, Sexy Siren, Tru Passion and Ego Trip.  Pics are too dark for some reason.  The first 3 are glitters...Tru Passion looks like a dupe for One Less Lonely Glitter, which is why I grabbed that one first.  Ego Trip was on clearance and it's a dark kinda frosty teal I guess.



















These are the randoms I bought. 
Confetti Happy Birthday - dark purple glass flecked (just wanted to try out this brand and nothing else appealed to me) $2 or 3 can't remember
NYC Starry Silver Glitter - silver glitter with larger blue and pink glitter $2 at Target
Nicole by OPI Grant My Wish - kind of coral leaning pink $1.75(!!!) at Target
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Uptempo Plum - black based purple glitter $1.13 at Target
Paint and Peel Crush - Purple creme $2 at Big Lots (just wanted to try this brand as well)



















I gotta say I absolutely love Ross!  Not only did I buy a shitload of awesome cheap clothes but they had tons of Color Club sets.  I had 5 in my hand but put 2 of them back LOL.  I picked up the whole Alter Ego collection and one set of Rebel Debutante.  Best part...the price was $7.99 each!  Holy crap!  The CDN dollar is roughly at par right now so these were a freakin steal.  We pay $12.99 at Winners here and I think even that's a bargain.  One of the polishes in the Alter Ego collection looks like a dupe for China Glaze Below Deck so I will have to swatch a comparison on that one.

Much more to come.  If anyone is interested in a specific swatch let me know.
