Nail Polish Strips

My friend sent me these Sally Hansen nail polish strips in a fun pink and black argyle print. I was a bit worried about using them, but have heard good things about them, so I was excited to try them out.
They were fairly easy to apply. You do have to be careful about stretching the patterns. But they are easy to apply and dry almost instantly. I adhered a glossy top coat when I finished. And am very pleased with the finished results. Today, I wore them to Japanese class and got compliments on them. They thought I had done it by hand!

Make-up Haulsie :)

Yay for new products!
Here's the fun stuff I picked up the other day from Shop-In:


Maybelline Baby Lips SPF 20 Lip Balm in Mango Pie
Maybelline Hypercosmos Shadow in PK-1 Stellar Pink
Maybelline Vivid & Smooth Liner by EYESTUDIO in 08 Shiny Gold and 10 White Pearl
Maybelline Water Shiny Volumy Gloss in Spring Coral
Color Club Professional Nail Lacquer in N04 Age of Aquarius
Diamond Nail Homei in D-3 Diamond

I totally didn't intend to buy so much Maybelline, though I do love their products.  The main thing I wanted was the aqua coloured nail polish that had been out of stock forever!  Then I knew I would get the diamond polish I have been eyeing too.  And from then on...  Anyways, the liner was very random but I've been looking for some white liner and this seemed like a good quality drugstore kind and the gold would be great for summer (especially paired with coral shadow).  So happy I decided to get the Mango Pie balm with SPF 20.  An essential for avoid sunburned lips!

Happy Summer started!
