Ulta Limelight + dots

Ulta Limelight + dots, originally uploaded by kennasmomma.

I got a set of 5 dotting tools on Ebay for $4.38. I've been wanting to try some nail dot art. I used Limelight as the base and for the dots: ChG Lemon Fizz, OPI What's With the Cattitude?, OPI Ogre-the Top Blue, Essie Little Brown Dress, and Essie Sew Psyched.

I'm happy with it. I have a scrub top that has these sorts of colors that inspired me.

Ulta Limelight

I hesitated to try this polish, because I expected to be disappointed. Ulta polishes are sort of hit or miss. Many are glopey and streaky and have poor formulas. This one is excellent! 3 coats were needed due to the sheerness, but the results were superb. It isn't really what I expect lime to be... its more of a soft spring green.

Sunshine and happiness

Supposedly, we only average around 60 sunny days here. It feels like less to me. What better polish for a sunny day, than a holo glitter?

Ulta has their Salon Formula on sale now for $2 each, so I grabbed a few bottles. This one caught my eye, because I'm a sucker for anything with holographic glitter. Its called Bombshell. This is 3 coats. Its a jelly, too! It applied really well, however, it needs a couple layers of thick topcoat to smooth it out. I applied 2, but was impatient and didn't let the first set up enough, so its a little bumpy.

Lazy Sunday

I have exactly 3 RBLs (Rescue Beauty Lounge). I would love to have more, but it's a bit cost prohibitive. Their sophisticated creams really appeal to me. I feel most comfortable wearing an edgy cream at work. Neons or obscenely blingy glitters make me feel a little awkward in a professional environment.

This is Plie. Applied wonderfully and was opaque in 2 coats.

Then, since none of us can go shopping as often as we'd like, I thought I'd show you the results of a recent shopping trip that involved Sephora and Ulta.

I am absolutely thrilled with the Urban Decay Polish Primer Potion & the Blinc Mascara! Thanks Jessika.

The glitters are Nabi brand. I found them at a clothing & accessory store. I forgot the name. They have a really strong smell. I haven't tried those, yet.

The skinny Ulta bottles were from the newest collection. My shopping buddy asked a SA when they'd have them. Not too surprisingly, they already had them.. in a DRAWER! I swear every time I go to this Ulta the employees look like their on a pleasure cruise. All their nail polish could be gone on the sales floor and it would never occur to anyone to go look in the back for replenishment stock. I suspect that is why they had 2 complete sets of the CHI collection that was out around November, but no display anymore.
