Girly Bits What Happens In Vegas....ends up on FaceBook

Nothing To Disclose
I'm pulling more polishes from my personal stash that I ended up making swatch sticks for but never wore or blogged about. Today is Girly Bits What Happens in Vegas...ends up on FaceBook. This polish was given to bloggers who attended Cosmoprof North America in 2013 (my third year!). I was also brought back for a limited time in 2013 but quickly sold out.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Insouciant

Nothing To Disclose

I grabbed another Rescue Beauty Lounge polish today to see if I wanted to keep or purge. This is Insouciant, which was super popular in the "greige" era of 2011 when smoky purple greys were all the rage.

duri Sorry Not Sorry

Press Sample

I'm at the end of my duri journey and thankful that duri allowed me to review some of their polishes. It took me a long time do it but after two separate rounds of COVID and long-lasting effects from the first round, blogging really took a back seat. I'm still being seen by a cardiologist and a pulmonologist but so far my tests have come back favorably. Today I have duri Sorry Not Sorry which is listed as an opaque purple but it was more of a jelly for me.

duri A Million Likes

Press Sample

We are nearly the end of my duri journey and I have to say, I've been pretty impressed with their range. Today I have a sparkly number with duri A Million Likes. I thought this was like a foil but it's listed as a glitter on their website.

duri High Key

I'm getting into the purples here that duri sent me and today we're starting with duri High Key, a burgundy purple metallic with no shimmer.

China Glaze Private Side-Eye

Press Sample

This polish is not black. Today I decided to pull from a pile of China Glaze that I had from 2019. I originally didn't know what color this was but it's Private Side-Eye from the "To Catch A Colour" Halloween collection. This is a super dark purple with rainbow reflective glitter, almost a scattered holo.

Morgan Taylor Going Vogue

Press Sample

The finale from the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is Going Vogue, listed as an antique rose creme. I think I was most excited about this color when I first saw the photos but did it live up to my hype?

Morgan Taylor It's Your Mauve

Press Sample

Gosh, I can't believe it's March already! Another beauty from the Morgan Taylor Spring 2020 "Editor's Picks" collection is It's Your Mauve, a mauve creme. This reminds me of one of my favorite original polishes from another brand that's been discontinued so I was really excited to wear this polish. I did find it to be more pink than purple in color.

Morgan Taylor Seeing Double

Press Sample

It's hard to believe that the Morgan Taylor Illusions Platinum collection came out in mid 2019. Today I have the purple duo-chrome Seeing Double which has an orange shift at extreme angles.

cuccio Cotton Candy Sorbet

Press Sample

It's time for the finale of the cuccio Summer 2020 Rainbow Sorbet collection with Cotton Candy Sorbet. This was listed as a bright violet creme so I stuck it at the end with Lavender Sorbet.

cuccio B.F.Fur-Ever

Press Sample

Y'all know how much I love purple. It's absolutely my favorite color so I'm so glad that the cuccio Spring 2021 Kittens and Canines collection had this bright light purple creme called B.F.Fur-Ever. This is a perfect spring color and reminds me of Easter which is super early this year.

LVX Legendaire

Press Sample
Where did January go? On the one hand, it went on FOREVER and the other hand, it flew past me. I've been on a purple kick lately, and after wearing Purple Aster and Lavender Sorbet I wanted to keep the purple going so today is LVX Legendaire. This is a gorgeous lavender creme that was part of their Fall/Winter 2012 collection.

I don't know what happened in December. Granted, it was my 37th birthday in there somewhere, and there was Christmas and New Years and things just kind of melted together. Another thing that happened was my 8th wedding anniversary and to celebrate, we had family portraits taken by Sweetest Snaps Photography. I found Ashlee through a mom friend who has a daughter the same age as my middle son. I saw a photo in their house that was just breathtaking of her and her two girls and I asked who did them and she told me about Sweetest Snaps.

cuccio Lavender Sorbet

Press Sample
I get that it's almost December but I'm living for the cuccio Summer 2020 Rainbow Sorbet collection. I'm starting from the back end with Lavender Sorbet which is a light lavender leaning pink.

Morgan Taylor Don't Jump To Illusions

Press Sample
Well, Black Friday looks a little different this year for many of us, I'm sure. It's been hard for me to get into the Thanksgiving season but I'm trying. I'm about to get into some of the summer collections that I've had on my desk - never on season you know. Today I have Morgan Taylor Don't Jump To Illusions from the Platinum collection.

cuccio I Crave

Press Sample

I've been really impressed with the cuccio Spring 2020 Imagine collection and today I have a stunner. I Crave is a dusty purple creme with red undertones. This is my kind of polish and even though I pretend like I don't like cremes, I LOVE cremes.

How is this the last week of October? I mean granted, I'm glad 2020 is almost a memory because this year has been TOUGH. This week, I'm sharing the final 3 ella + mila polishes that I have here and these are all soft, neutral shades. Today is you and me, a soft purple creme from the love collection. 

Pink Mask Delilah

Press Sample
You know I had to have a purple in my collection! I was really drawn to Pink Mask Delilah, a lilac creme and was hoping that this would really pop with a matte top coat.

Pink Mask Gel Polish

Press Sample
Back in July, I got a lovely email from Pink Mask, an Argentinian company that launched in the USA this July with their gel polishes. While they have been around since 2015, this was my first experience seeing their product.

cuccio Be Current

Press Sample

I'm at the finale of the cuccio Fall 2019 Bella Natura collection with Be Current, a egglant purple creme. I think this was the polish I was most excited for because I love a good purple creme in my life.
