Revlon Scented Fizz!




Was shopping at London Drugs last week and came across these lovelies!  They are loaded with glass fleck although for the yellow and orange ones especially it looks like small metallic flakes of the same colour as the polish. As  always with glass fleck polishes they are quite sheer.  I think this is necessary for the glass flecks to catch the light.  The yellow, green and orange seem like jellies or sorbets.  The blue and purple seem a touch less sheer.  The bottle tops have a scratch and sniff sticker on them so you can preview the scents.  All were subtle and not over powering or sickening as some can be.  Even with five different scents on my hands it just smelled like fruity mint!  : )


Thumb - Purple - Grape Fizz - sheer - pink and purple flecks more like micro shimmer.
Index - Blue - Mint Fizz - sheer - flecks more like micro shimmer.  This colour will STAIN your skin so try not get it on your skin and be sure to use a base coat.
Middle - Yellow - Pineapple Fizz - sheer - large yellow flecks that look like metallic flakes.
Ring - Green - Apple-tini Fizz - sheer - large green flecks that look like metallic flakes and some light blue or sea foam green micro shimmer as well.
Pinky - Orange - Orange Fizz - sheer - large orange flecks that look like metallic flakes.

Burgundy Bounty Part 2

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I almost made 6 months without breaking a nail!  They always break right at the quick.  For the last while I have been trimming them when they get to a certain length in hopes of preventing breakage.  That point was reached at the time I did my burgundy mani last Monday.  It was time to trim them back a bit but It was late and I decided to wait another week.  Sure enough just a couple days later....  Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh : (

So I went ahead and trimmed all my nails and did a little stamping with my new Bundle Monster plates!  The plate images are larger than the old ones but still not large enough to cover my nails at the length they were.  I ordered my plates on Wednesday, April 27th.  I recieved a ship notification email the same day just 3 hours after placing the order!  Wow!  They are as excited as us to get those plates out there. I live in British Columbia Canada and the plates arrived in 9 business days on May 10th.  I received 2 of plate BM201 and did not received plate BM210.  When I emailed Bundle Monster they were exceptionally apologetic and assured me the problem would be remedied immediately.  It was such a nice and reassuring email I just have to share it with you.

Thank you for your email regarding your recent Bundle Monster order.  We are sorry to hear that you received only a partial order.  We strive to always offer quality service and we apologize that this was not the case.

We will send you the missing plate BM210 in the mail.  Please expect to receive the replacement package in 7 to 20 business days to Canada

We are truly sorry that a plate was missing from your order and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.  We look forward to shopping with you again.



The whole experience with Bundle Monster was exceptional.  One of the best experiences I have had.  Thank you Bundle Monster!  I dealt with them via their Amazon store which is here:

Inventory Day!


Today was a relaxing, stay at home, rainy day! I spent the majority of it entering my nail polish stash in an excel spreadsheet. I'm about half way done! You can view it by clicking on the stash tab above and following the link. Some of them are so old you can't find them using Google. : ) I just bought 2 of these racks in the last couple of weeks. Not organized yet but here is the first rack which I worked on and completed today.  These bottles will not stay in this order.

Click on the picture for a larger view in a window by itself.  Click on that photo and it will give you an even larger view that is about 50% of actual size.  You can read the labels and see the colours quite clearly.  They are even the true colours which can be hard to capture at times!  When I am all done I will take pictures of the final order and add text to each bottle with the name of the colour.


This does not include dozens of bottles of Zoya and China Glaze I have purchased in the last month. The Burlesque collection by OPI set me off on a feeding frenzy! I've kinda been out of the loop and didn't even know about Zoya and China Glaze! LOL  I am now cut off and cannot buy another bottle for a long, long, long time.  Hopefully I will find duplicates so I can trade for colours on my wish list.  Must stop now.......
