Quirius

Quirius, or QRS as it is sometimes called, is a brand that I am totally unfamiliar with. The bottle I have is called Starry Night.

It is a bright, shocking blue-purple! I love it! I've gotten a lot of compliments on this and think that it would work beter as a toe polish. Very pretty and the pic does not do it justice.

Opulent Cloud

Today's NOTD is Sally Hansen Opulent Cloud. The color morphs from a steel grey to almost lavender and gold.

The top pic shows the steel color, the bottom shows the lavender shift. So Pretty!

The polish is a little bit thick but still easy to apply and opaque in two coats. This is a gorgeous polish!

Aromaleigh EOTD

For my EOTD, I wanted to try out some blues.

I used:

Dominion Sonic Rocks! (A bright, clear blue. Discontinued)

Not So Silent Night (Dark, shimmery blue. Discontinued)

Mink Coat (Mink Coat" Eye Plush: A neutral mauve Plush with cocoa undertones.)

I love how this turned out. Dominion and Not so Silent Night are two of my favorite blues!

I Won!

I recently won a blog giveaway from the lovely Lisa at Glammed-up She has one of my favorite nail polish blogs and I am forever envious of her nail art. If you aren't a follower, I suggest you do so right away!

She sent me a bunch of gorgeous polishes that I have never seen before.

e.l.f. Kit Swatches

I wanted to post the swatches from the e.l.f. kit I got recently.

Unfortunately there are no names of the colors on the kit itself. Too bad because there are several that are really nice!

These are the eye shadow swatches, over primer. You will definitely need primer with these as they are rather sheer. The colors surprised me by being very wearable for a neutral look.

These are the lip colors. Again I was surprised by the pigmentation and wearablity of the colors. Still very sheer but buildable to get the color you want.

Would I recommend this? I would if you are looking for an inexpensive kit for something like travel. The brushes and liner included with this kit you can toss as they don't work. I plan on using this kit, along with my own brushes and liner for quick easy looks.

Simple EOTD

I did a very simple look using two colors from Aromaleigh.

Rocks! Eyes: DIRTYDEEDS: deep burgundy red with opposing blue and green sparkle shimmer

Rocks! Eyes: SHADOWPLAY: teal green iridescent glitz fades to the blackest black

I think it came out very nice.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good pic - this is the best!

Shut Up and Drive!

My NOTD is by Lippmann, called "Shut Up and Drive"! I LOVE the name of this polish!

I also love the color, the application, the color and have I said the color?

This is a sheer pink with loads of fine silver sparkle. I have on three coats and loved it a little more with each coat. I could have gone with a fourth coat but the time was gettign away from me.

The polish in the bottle looks very similar to Depend 165 polish but that is a more of a cream polish and the pink is much thicker.
