Luscious Cargo is a perfume etailer and does not even have that many Lippmanns (mostly reds, nudes and sheers) but hey, 25% off this brands, if you just wanna try it out. Code: FALLSALE (expires: October 31st, 2009). What's really tempting me right now are not the polishes but the Calypso EDTs. I have been secretly lusting after Chevrefeuille for... two, three years? With shipping, it'd be $50 (which is a little better than $60-something)...

China Glaze Atantis and the Vagina Dentata
Hello everyone! Graduate school is still extremely stressful and my program is not at all what I was expecting, but I'm dealing with it. Nail polish helps! :)Here is my latest NOTD, China Glaze Atlantis, 3 days in. I have some chips on the corners of my nails but nothing too major. This is 3 coats of color with 3 coats of topcoat.[Edit]:...

Applies nicely. 3 coats.Zoya JinxA beautiful coppery brown. Applies nicely. 2 coats.Zoya AshleyA berry creme. I got this in a swap w/ Flinty. Now...
Reader Request: some Pa swatches
I recently discovered a place to get Pa polishes, a Japanese brand, for about $4.40 each: Orange Lighthouse. Be forewarned that neither customer service or spelling seems to be this etailer's forte (the box my polishes came on had a return address "Oraneg Lighthouse" which I thought was a dental hygiene company at first). You can try getting...

Mini Zoya post
I've got a couple Zoya swatches to go with the promo Flinty posted below!This was my Fourth of July Mani. Thumb and index are Zoya America (2 coats) and pinky is Zoya Ginessa (2 coats). Middle fingers are not Zoya (Misa On the Edge with Pure Ice Strapless layered on top).(As usual, click to see larger. I promise one day I'll figure out how...
Zoya BOGO promo code
Zoya is having a Buy One Get One free sale with code BG3 (expires: 11:59PM, Wednesday, September 30, 2009). I tried to find an old swatch of a Zoya that I've done to break up the monotony of the repeated sale posts but came up empty-handed....
Walgreens discount/promo code for 99¢ shipping for beauty products
The Walgreens website's beauty section is pretty meager BUT for enthusiastic frankeners, this cheap shipping is a great way to stock up on Wet n Wild Mega Shine polishes (clear, black, white).Dunno about you all but the clear one is always sold out of my Walgreens and I find it indispensable for frankening. I've tried other clear polishes but this one is the smoothest and cheapest, even though they do come in slightly smaller...

Two NOTDs from this week
My classes started up this week and already I'm exhausted about thinking of my coursework. When am I going to have time to do research? When am I going to do grading (fifty papers every two weeks)?! I fully expect to have my ass kicked thoroughly by the advanced statistics class: structural equation modeling looks like it's going to be an...

China Glaze Shooting Stars
Out of all the China Glaze glitters, the one I was most excited about (next to Atlantis) was Shooting Stars. This polish is small holographic glitters and larger iridescent glitter in a clear base... think Fairy Dust plus larger iridescent sparkles.This picture best represents the true awesomeness of this polish.One thing to know about me...
Diamond Cosmetics Matte swatches
An interesting discussion has been simmering on NB and on the blogs for a little while (but it hasn't yet totally exploded): do bloggers get free polishes, how often do they get them and are they paid to review them (or to push specific companies)? There are seven of us here on Polish or Perish and I can't speak for the other six but this...
Sally Hansen's Opulent Cloud and Borghese's Ecstasi Indigo
As I mentioned I had a great mini-haul on Friday.Actually - I had a great day on Friday in general. In the morning I caught the ferry to Governor's Island and went biking around the island for 3 hours.(Notice the Statue of Liberty! I hadn't seen it since I moved to NY.)Then, on my way home, I stopped by a Duane Reade where a lovely MUA-er...

NOTD China Glaze Sunshine
Biggest disappointment of this collection so far. Not quite as bright and smooth as I hoped. China Glaze SunshineBumpy. I wanted it to be prettier than this. Either more opaque or more jelly -- this is an annoying in between. Again, square glitter with some blue/green hexes thrown in. It's interesting -- which is enough for me to keep it...

Kleancolor's Beach Blue and Starry Purple
(Swatches of the first 2 are coming along in another post. I had a mini-haul on Friday.)My local beauty supply shop is awesome and has the new Kleancolor display that was featured on ALU a couple months ago!It had tons of neons (I mean EVERY SHADE) and lots of really dazzling glitters (at least half a dozen). It, of course, had the requisite...
Reader Request: China Glaze Stellar and Goddess
At the behest of two readers, a couple of other China Glaze glitter swatches. China Glaze Goddess (without and with flash)Three coats. Silvery gold glitter with gold shimmer. Not as blingy as I would've expected, though. Sort of atypical for a gold glitter for a two reasons: the glitter is (again) square and there is also subtle (compared...
