Perplex

Today, I have a nail polish that is recently popular because it's a VERY close dupe for the popular Chanel Paradoxal, which I still don't have yet. I picked it up today from a full display at Duane Reade near my work. I also picked up an extra bottle for my giveaway (I've decided to have it when I reach 300 followers). 

But here's my swatch of Revlon's Perplex which is a darkened plum gray with a purple shimmer. I've seen comparisons of the two and Perplex has more shimmer than Paradoxal so if you prefer less shimmer or "hidden" shimmer, you should go for Paradoxal but you don't need both. The swatch is 2 coats and 1 coat of Seche top coat. I absolutely love this color! I've been lemming Paradoxal so this is feeding my lemming :)

I'd like to say (again) that I will be holding a giveaway to celebrate for reaching 300 followers (when I reach 300 I will post up the giveaway). So, there will be only one prize and maybe a small second prize. But so far I only have one bottle of Revlon Perplex. All items in this giveaway will either be brand new and purchased by me, or has been swatched once. I hope no one will have a problem with that. :\

hope you enjoyed & happy polishing! :)

Catrice Week [Day 6]

Hello everyone! I hope everyone's having a good day so far. Today after my class, I'm stuck in the library because I was supposed to work but got someone to cover for me thinking my bf didn't have work. After I gave away the shift, I found out he has work & I told my parents I'd be at work so now I'm taking the time to study since final exams are coming! Oh no the horror! :( I must break into nerd mode. But I will be able to post tomorrow to finish off Catrice week but the posts will come out a little slowly after that. I have some recent mani's to show you and I'm trying to think creatively on new nail art for my mani's. Hopefully it'll come to me!

Without further stalling, here's Catrice Week Day 6.

Catrice London's Weather Forecast

greyed blue with shimmer. 2 coats and 1 coat of top coat. Another one of my favorites because I feel like the shimmer makes it so different from other grays.

hope you enjoyed,

P.S. There will be a giveaway when I hit either 250/300 followers, depending on whether I have enough money to pay for the giveaway prize. What giveaway items do you suggest? I'm open to ideas & I'll see what I can get! :D
