Seductively Sweet...Definitely!

Hello all!
Exams and springs semesters are finally over so I can start blogging again. I hauled a bit this week and here is my loot:

(L to R: Apple-tini Fizz, Orange Fizz, Mint Fizz, Pineapple Fizz)

 These four are a part of the new Revlon Seductively Sweet collection. They are scented and actually smell good even wet inside the bottle! All of the polishes are glass-flecked with small flakies. I wore Mint Fizz for the last week and it wore incredibly well with three coats. Each of the polishes has a matching scented lipgloss. They aren't pictured here, but I bought the watermelon and pina colada glosses from Bed, Bath and Beyond. I was able to find this collection there and at a number of Walgreens. Polishes were about $4 to $5, but I used coupons with them.

(L to R: Party of Five Glitters, Fast-Dry Topcoat, Teal of Fortune, Fast-Dry Topcoat)
Onto Walgreens, where I found these little beauties. They are the new collection of Fast-Dry polishes. All of their names have something to do with television- cute but a little corny. These were a bargain- you got the regularly priced $1.99 polish with a free topcoat! I haven't tried them yet, but they swatched well so my hopes are high. Party of Five Glitters is a multi-colored topcoat with silver, blue, green, pink, etc. Teal of Fortune is a near exact dupe of Zoya Charla, Orly Halley's Comet, and OPI Catch Me in Your Net (which I own and love). These were $1.99 at select Walgreens.

(Pictured: Rimmel Violet Metal)
 This was my finest deal. It was on clearance at Walgreens and I had a dollar off coupon so, with tax, it was $0.16! Violet Metal is a medium purple-royal blue duochrome. The flash is really strong in the bottle, but fades a bit when swatched on paper. I'm really excited about this one! Normally $3 to $5 at various drugstores.

(See that lovely blue duochrome?)

My last treasure was one of Sally Hansen's new Hard as Nails line: Rock Candy. It's a peachy-pink jelly, with blue, gold, and green glitter particles. I plan on putting it over black and seeing how it does. It was $1.99 at Walgreens.
