My mom took the camera she was lending me back last week, but I got a sexy new pink camera for xmas!!
Merry belated xmas! Here are some random shots I took with the new camera, indoors, without having selected the proper settings. Enjoy!
Fatty fat fat!
I do not endorse actual violence. I do endorse video game based violence. Don't be a wuss.

Cult Nails - Super Powers Collection
I'm pretty pleased with this collection. All swatches are taken outdoors in crappy sun-free Raincouver overcastyness.
Power Thief - 3 coats no topcoat. The formula on this one was a bit meh. It was that strange inbetween of thin and thick which ended up pooling at my tips. Use thin coats.
Power Thief - 3 coats no topcoat. Fabulous blackened jelly with purple/green duochrome miniflakes. The glitter flakey bits in here are a bit sparse but beautiful. They lean purple most of the time, but they do flash green. I was pleasantly surprised with this polish. No formula complaints.
Time Traveller - 2 coats no topcoat. This shiz is thick. It needs to be thinned straight off the bat. I've heard people describe it as a jelly.. but I do not consider it a jelly. MAYBE I would say it is a blue creme with some jelly tendencies. It is not a jelly imo. Also..
SMURF ALERT!
I was warned that this one was stainy so I was very careful. Even being ultra careful it stained my cuticles on cleanup. Cleaning it was essentially just like smearing the stain around. It stains quickly. I had to bleach my nails with tooth whitener and spend some quality time with pure acetone after swatching this one. I still have slightly stained cuticles :|
That being said, it is gorgeous. See for yourself!
Clairvoyant - Ah yes the Unicorn Puke. This is the reason I ordered this set. This is 2 coats over Time Traveller no topcoat. They were made to dance together.
You can buy Cult Nails here. Unfortunately, Clairvoyant is out of stock right now. Fortunately, it looks an awful lot like Picture Polish Festival (although Festival has a clear base) which is in stock as far as I can tell. Just judging by that one small swatch though. I have not gotten my hands on this Picture Polish as I lost their naming contest for it :\ I like the girl who won though so it's all good ;)

Chromatic Cosmetics
Okay so I was trolling Etsy the other day looking for shadows. I came across a seller with a lot of stuff I wanted (Chromatic Cosmetics). I pm'd back and forth with her and settled on the following 30 samples.
PREPARE FOR LAZY POSTING!
I am just spewing out everything from my camera here. If they are blurry.. sorry.. no time to put Spit&Polish on them. So lazy.. want sushi.
All are swatched over Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I apologize for the tiny swatches but.. there were 30! It would have taken 60 years to swatch them all individually :S
Speed Ballin' (Stardust), Terrestrial, Razzle Dazzle, Smoke & Mirrors,
Beamers, Steel City, Mo Murder, Starry Night,
Monster Mash, Cadaver, Widower, Autopsy
Walk of Shame, Cambria, Home Wrecker, Volatile,
Infatuation, Midnight Lights, Black Magic, Intuition,
Fizzy Pop, Mary Jane, Pina Colada, Spare Change
Oh Mr. Sun, Juiced, Ginger Kid, Sangria,
Platonic, Dizzy Drunk, Bereavement, Siren,
Dream Weaver, Beer Before Liquor, Cafe Mocha
The formula on all of these was fantastic. Some were a touch gritty but only the more etherial colours so I imagine it is whatever makes them hauntingly beautiful. I am in love with Oh Mr. Sun, Sangria and Mo Murder. That being said, if I had the money I would gladly buy nearly all of these in full size.
Speaking of $$ I got 30 samples for 20 dollars plus shipping. My only complaint is that the samples were really really sampley. There is no way that I am going to be able to do much more with them than what you see up there. Maybe swatch again? I could probably get a bit of actual eye wear out of them, but they are in bags (LOATHE although I see the purpose) and will be a PITA to work with.
Although the samples were super tiny, the full size (2g in a 5g sifter jar) shadows are only $4.17 CAD (doesn't tell in USD) and I am DEFINITELY going to be buying a great many of these once Xmas is over and I have resuscitated my wallet.
