The last day of 2009! I've been feeling under the weather for the past few days but I hope I feel good enough to run four miles at midnight: the NYC Road Runners sponsors a fun run through Central Park every New Year's Eve. This would be my fourth year of ringing in the New Year with a runner's high. ;)
Anyway, like I had mentioned, I made a huge Revlon Street Wear haul from a dusty in midtown Manhattan with shopping_sushi_style on Tuesday. She and I accidentally met last summer at Sephora Times Sq. We were both looking for $OPI 212 when we started talking about our interest in nail polish... which led to a conversation about Nail Board. It was then we realized we knew each other through NB! Small world, huh? Anyway, she took me to this incredible dusty -- the name escapes me at the moment -- where baggies of four random Street Wears (and some Maybellines) are sold for $1 each!! Here are some iPhone photos of what I got:
L to R: Maybelline Bolt of Blue, Red Hot, Mediterranean Coral, Get Strappy, Fairy Pretty, Taupe Tulle, Sheer Ivory, and L'Oreal Lemon Twist
I took a picture of the back of these Maybelline Coloramas because there sale stickers all over their fronts. From L to R: Sonic Sunset, Ruby Rays, Tangerine Tips, Mango Sorbet Tips, Candy Apple, Cherry Tips.
Because the SWs came in fours, I ended up with a lot of extras of several colors. These are all Burnt.
This too is called Burnt even though it looks very different.
I also got a lot of Jelly. One of them is actually missing from this picture.
All of these are Grass Stain... Why one has a black label is beyond me. I think it may have very, very slightly different shimmer?
These are labeled "Ggrass Sstain". Not sure why Revlon used the same names for different polishes.
Taxi! (You know, I almost never purposefully buy dupes. I know I won't finish anything ever really... it feels impossible right now!)
The first two are Gold Mine; the third is Ggold Mmine. It seems to reflect more blue while the other two reflect purple.
Slip, which is prettier in person: a shimmering champagne with holo microglitter.
The first two (again different logo labels!) are Stain. The last two are Sstain.
Ones I have two of, L to R: Gun Metal, Psychedelic, White Out (probably my fave white), and Mmoody. Alas, I couldn't find Moody, which I think is a creme.
Mmm, holo bar glitter!! L to R: Hologram, Midas and Nightmare.
Cremes, L to R: Drab, Nothing, Matte It... is that a topcoat?
Shimmers with microglitter: Angelic, Halo, Illusion, Incognito, Lighten Up and Shooting Star.
Greys and blues, L to R: Steelo, Sky, Tux, Midnight, Vice.
Beiges and browns, L to R: Whip Cream, Imagination, Chick and Scheming.
And the last four: Jam, Raw, Blood and Ruined.
Whew! This post took awhile to do on my iPhone. I can't wait to get my computer back from repair! Hopefully later today. :)
