Urban Decay LTD palette

Urban Decay released their new Vice Palette Limited Edition at my Ulta today.   Hubby purchased the palette for me to experiment with.  The palette contains 20 eyeshadows in various shades varying from brights, neutrals and smoky hues.  The shadows also range in finishes from mattes to shimmer and the formula is very velvety.  The shadows are very rich in color, has great staying power and are very blendable in their application.  There are current colors and some new never before seen shades.         

The palette comes with a push button opening mechanism, a double ended brush and large mirror.  The packaging is a hard case that will be durable for travel or everyday use.  Pictures of the product applied are fourth coming.

Sally Hansen Color Foil - Colbolt Blue

I purchased this nail polish from Target for about $6 and I was extremely excited to finally țry it.  The instructions advise to use two coats and for best results use without a base coat or top coat.

I was a bit skeptical as I always use a base coat for overall nail protection from staining, but I wanted the best results from the polish so I opted out of the base coat.   I applied two coats of the polish as instructed.   Pros and cons:

PROS:
* Beautiful color
* High shine even without a top coat on day one
* Very very fast dying

CONS:
* Began flaking off the same day
* Color dulled by day two
* If nails are not smooth all flaws will show

Overall I was not very impressed with this polish,  especially with the flaking the same day I polished my nails and the loss of shine by day two.   I would not be purchasing this polish again.

Thank you for reading.
