Naturistics Super Shine - "Sea Ya!"

As promised, here are some more polish swatches. This one is Naturistics Super Shine in "Sea Ya!". The color is classified as a pearl finish, which I agree with :)

It's fairly well pigmented, at least compared to the other Naturistics polish I bought. That one was a bright, royal purple that looked beautiful in the bottle, but turned out to be a sheer, watery mess. I still used 2 coats here just to smooth things out. (Both of these, by the way, were part of the 10 bottles for $4.99 of assorted polishes at my local Grocery Outlet that I talked about earlier.)

The color is pretty, and part of my quest to find the perfect dark, teal color. (I am lamenting the fact that I do NOT own MAC Whirlwind..which looks pretty perfect..) The other teal I have is Zoya's Akyra, which I remember being a bit lighter and greener than this one. I have swatches of Akyra on my computer but they are pretty crappy quality, will re-do later when my nails don't look so terrible.

Giveaway Alert - Day 2 of the Great Makeup Bag Giveaway

Click HERE for more info and details on how to win! Remember there is a mandatory entry that you have to do EVERY DAY in order to be qualified to win the whole package at the end of the week!

OHH and I haven't forgotten my promise to post some swatches...but right now I am in the middle of tenant turnover at the rental property and I have to go work on the house today and for the next few days! Cleaning...painting...:( My nails will be in terrible shape by the end of it all.

Lack of posts...AND Huge Giveaway Alert!

So I just noticed that I have 2 new followers that popped up! Exciting! Sorry to disappoint with the serious lack of "real posts" in the past few weeks. The presence of new followers (to a grand total of 4! :P ) is definitely a kick in the butt for me to get some more posts on here, though. I've got a TON of nail polish swatches on my computer, just waiting for me to go through and post. I've also gotten some new products lately that need reviewing....

My excuses: just graduated + looking for a job, had some lady health problems, got sick + terrible allergies on top of that, relatives visiting from out of town, more guests visiting from out of town that needed some local "experts" (haha me = expert? what a joke)...and a general laziness on my part.

Anyways, I've been the OPPOSITE of "on top of things" with all aspects of my life recently, but I started this blog and need to keep it up! :)


OH and ALSO I need to add that Moody Mommy Reviews is having a huge giveaway this ENTIRE week. It is the Great Makeup Bag Giveaway and you can see her button to the right of my blog.
