day one hundred and ninety nine, nars purple rain

drumroll....it's nars purple rain!!! SO SO SO GORGEOUS! i'm so happy i picked this up, after my nails went super short i wanted to wait until i had at least a little length to show off this gorgeous colour. i can say with 100% certainty that Orgasm Comsetics - Dripping Wet is NOT a dupe. they are two different base shades of purple. nars leans more red and orgasm leads more blue. so you can easily justify both!! what pleases me is that they both have the same kind of pinkish deep shimmer throughout the colour. so you get the same gorgeous glowing effect with two completely different shades of purple. this is definitely a warmer, more red based purple.

i'm so pleased by it!

day twenty three, nars tokaido express

okay, today we have tokaido express by nars. which is super exciting because i was really coveting this polish. it's a great vampy purple but DOES NOT LOOK BLACK (which you know makes me crazy) and it has microglitter throughout so it has a bit of a glow but it's not an in your face effect like the diamond cosmetics one from yesterday.

i also was gifted a konad - a nail design stamping kit whihc is the heart and bow. i suck at it now but i'm hoping to get better.

i know this polish wasn't cheap but i don't know the exact amount. is it the world's greatest polish....probably not but i'm happy to have it.
