Orly Buried Alive - A Great Brown Glitter for Cheap! (And, Duri gets along nicely with Poshe)

Orly Buried Alive is part of the Spring 2012 Dark Shadows collection. It consisted of 4 polishes, and this was the only one I was remotely interested in. I eyeballed it every time I went to Sally Beauty Supply, but never actually got it. However, last weekend was the 1/2 off of all clearance items sale at Sally's, and I couldn't pass it up for $1.45 

Buried Alive has a warm, yellow-toned brown base and lots of gold/bronze shimmer. It was rather thick, and the first coat literally looked as if I'd painted Hershey's Syrup on my nails, but the second coat evened out nicely.

Also, I've discovered that Duri Rejuvacote plays nicely with Poshe. Poshe isn't my favorite topcoat, but I want to be able to see if Duri really helps with my peeling nails. So, I'll use it until I can make that decision.

Revlon Alluring Amber

I found this picture when I was sorting through my photo albums, and I don't think I've posted it yet. I know this one was found on a dusty shelf at Meijer for $0.99. I thought I'd give Revlon's formula another go for less than a dollar. 

I can't remember if this was 2 coats or three, but I think it was only 2 coats and lasted 3 days before getting a chip, which is unheard of with Revlon and I. 

This shade of orange was really nice as well. I'm not big on orange, but this one was nice and dusty. I was afraid it would look like I had traffic cones on my fingers!

Hot Topic Ruby Red and Teal Glitter

To get caught up, 2 posts back-to-back. Tuesday night I got the urge to spend money like nobody's business, and I tried hard. Looked all over the mall and found nothing (shocker!). So, went into Hot Topic to chat it up with my friend and saw their nail polish display. Tons of bright, funky colors. I loved a teal glitter and a dark red creme, and the red was on clearance for $0.98. Then I got the brilliant idea to layer them. Cool effect. Ruby Red is very similar to Essie Wicked. But, as I said up there, $0.98. No big. Red is brighter than it shows in the picture.

I love the Hot Topic polish bottles. Tall and skinny with a skull and crossbones. :) I like the brush as well. Long with a stubby handle, I feel I can control it really well.
