ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – L.A. Girl Rock Star Head Banging
365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.
Another day, another green. This gem was another discovery at my local Five Below store. Last summer at Cosmoprof, Melissa from The Daily Nail introduced me to the L.A. Girl brand but since you can’t purchase products at the show, it wasn’t until I saw bins of their Rock Star line polish at Five Below that I got my hands on it. L.A. Girl Rock Star Head Banging is a perfect example of why I started ALU in the first place. It’s a case of not knowing what you’ll get based simply on the bottle. What appeared to be an average teal green shimmer ended up being so much more. |
ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Fashion Bug Shamrock
365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.
Yesterday I reviewed one of the Fashion Bug polishes my mom gave me as part of my birthday present. It didn’t give a great first impression of the brand so I decided to give them another chance. With Fashion Bug Boysenberry, what looked fantastic in the bottle ended up having the opposite effect on the nail. Today’s color, Fashion Bug Shamrock, is the complete opposite of that. What looked kind of “meh” in the bottle ended up being totally fantastic on the nail. Don’t let that kind of frosty, faded appearance fool you. |
ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – China Glaze Cha Cha Cha from the Island Escape Collection
365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.
By the time you read this I will be off to celebrate my birthday with my family at one of my favorite places in Ohio, Put-In-Bay on South Bass Island. I’ve mentioned the Lake Erie destination in previous posts and if you’re ever in the vicinity I HIGHLY suggest you visit. It’s the Key West of the North. Even though I’m away, the Untrieds won’t be on hiatus. Not to worry. Today I revisited the China Glaze Island Escape collection with the other color that really drew me in, Cha Cha Cha. The green nail polish lover in me will never be fully satiated so I never EVER get tired of seeing new greens. Especially when they resemble a certain fan fave that deserves way more Os than China Glaze bestowed upon it, Mooooooooooooonpooooooooool. Nail board girls, you know what I’m talking about. |
ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Nicole by OPI My Lifesaver from the Justin Bieber One Less Lonely Girl Collection
365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.
You don’t EVEN have to say it. I already know what you’re thinking. But come on, you knew it would happen didn’t you? That eventually one of those damn Justin Bieber polishes would suck me in. And if you didn’t guess that it would be the green, it’s like you don’t even KNOW me. The first set of Nicole by OPI Justin Bieber One Less Lonely Girl polishes had some cute shades but nothing that tempted me to twist off the cap. When I saw the bright minty green, My Lifesaver, I screamed, “UNCLE!” Now what I didn’t know when I first learned about the collection is that it was created to raise awareness and funds for Pencils of Promise which helps to build schools and increase educational opportunities in the developing world. How can I scoff at Nicole by OPI for partnering with the Biebs when it’s for a good cause? His tween fans are a guaranteed sell-out audience so even though it seems odd for Justin to be associated with nail polish, at the end of the day I get it. |
ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – RGB Sea
365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.
It’s been a while since I’ve worn a rich, dark green. Green is my favorite color to wear but I seem to transition from dark to light & bright throughout the seasons. An emerald green just feels too Holiday in the middle of summer. However, I’ve had RGB Cosmetics Sea sitting on my desk, longing to be worn, for way too long now and I just had to give in. ***Edited to add – this was supposed to go live last night but apparently I don’t know how to read a calendar. Apologies for the delay. |
