Hot Topic Hotness

Last time I was at HT I spotted a lone aqua duochrome in the clearance bin.
It wanted to come home with me and I agreed to make it part of my family (collection)
It has no name, how very sad!

A very pretty shimmery dark teal.
(Blue holo franken on tips done with SmArt nail stencil)

Who could resist that sweet skully face?

The duochrome is not as strong as I'd hoped but still very pretty!


Fauxnad and Mineral Basics swatches

I loved my yesterday's mani S-he 464 so much that I really did not want to change it tonight,
so I added some Hot Topic fauxnad on top. Image stamped in China Glaze IDK.

Sorry for the craptasic indoor lighting.


I love the skull music notes! I think this is how Death metal sheet music should look.






P.S. If anyone knows of where I could get the other Hot Topic fauxnad plate, Please email me. Somehow a year or so ago when I bought the set mine had 2 of the same plate. :( I really would love to have the other plate with the gun and blood spatter. Thank You tons!

I am working on a Review of Mineral Basics but time has been very little as of late.
I did have time to do swatches today and get sample package pics.


This is how my samples arrived. Very cute!


This is what I ordered. The samples are tiny 1/16 of a teaspoon which is enough to swatch and still have one use. But for the price of $1.50 it's much less product than I'm used to getting.


Magic wand- Shimmery Orange with yellow undertones
Passive-pixie- Peachy coral with lots of shimmer
Flower-fairy- Shimmery bubblegum pink
Water-myth- Shimmer dusty green a nice mossy shade
Dragonfly-wing- silvery green



magical-spell- Blue based shimmery purple
Hidden creatures- shimmer cornflower blue with subtle green sparks
Dragon flight- gunmetal with subtle sparks of copper and pink


Spellbind Cheek pop-  Shimmery Peach
Mesmerize Cheek pop- Light shimmery pink


Angel Eyes Illuminator- Pearl off white with slight yellow tone
Emerald fire- Emerald green shimmer
Storm- Blackend blue
Mulberry wine matte- Matte berry
Black matte- looks like plain black oxide

These were all swatch with no primer and the pictures came out very true to color.
My initial opinion is that they have a nice texture and spplication with very little fall out.
I will play with them tomorrow and do a look with some to give a better review.
