Sation Miss Emo Shun All

Hey there!
So I'm sure you may have seen this colour on other blogs, it is FANTASTIC! I saw this on I think Kellie Gonzo a long time ago and I was in LOVE. Sation is unfortunately hard to find irl, I know it's at some TJMaxx/Marshall's/Winners stores, but sadly not my local Winners. I ended up ordering this online, hopefully Sation eventually makes it into my Winners.

The colour itself is this amazing bright, almost neon blue-toned purple. Now my camera's idea of this colour is not really what the colour actually is, but this is the best I could do. Imagine it a lot more blinding and bright! The formula on this was actually crazy thick, I did a few fingers and then added some thinner because it was like painting with glue. But after I thinned it, the problem was taken care of and I only needed one coat on most fingers. Bonus! It did dry kind of matte so be sure to add topcoat for shine!




Love it. So purple!! Do you have any of this up and coming brand? The bottle is also a little bigger than normal, 15 ml instead of the usual 14 or so. Nice. I wish I had easier access to Sation because I would totally get a bunch more, their glitters are amazing.

Quo by Orly Purple Daydream

Hello! Happy weekend everybody! I'm bagged today, last night my boyfriend and I drove down to Calgary to see Porter Robinson. It was a good show and lots of fun to go dancing for the night, but we (namely me) drove back after the show because we had to be home early today and I am sleepy! Definitely going to be napping before work.
Today I have another bright polish for you. This one is my boyfriend's favorite, he actually bought it for me after seeing it on one of his clients. He asked that I wear it again soon, so I decided to put it up on here! It's from a brand called Quo that is available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart. The nail polish line is parented by Orly, so it's of good quality. The colour is called Purple Daydream, although you can see that it's really not purple at all. This is a bright fuschia, almost neon. In fact it does dry to satin matte, so remember your top coat! This is another polish with secret shimmer, which becomes more obvious when topcoatted. Formula was good, as you would expect from a polish giant like Orly. I believe I used three coats for peace of mind, two probably would have been okay but I have some staining near the free edge from a blue colour I wore a while back. Gross.
Photos are all outside in the sun! I wish it would be sunny more, June has been ridiculously rainy so far. I want to swatch my holos!

Claire's Mini Neon- Orange

Happy Saturday everyone! I've spent the day doing absolutely nothing, I worked a split shift yesterday and picked up a shift waitressing at a nightclub last night so I needed to recover! I didn't get home until almost 4 am and I was so tired I crawled into bed with my clothes on haha. Later on my boyfriend and I are going for dinner with another couple, but that's about all the excitement we have planned.
Now that it's summer, neons are super big right now. They're not usually my speed, but I picked up a set of 5 neon mini polishes from Claire's ages ago and thought what the heck. I went with the orange today because I haven't used it before. I used a coat of white underneath to amp up the color, and it's definitely bright! Formula wise, I did find it to be kind of streaky and patchy. Thicker coats helped but I still needed 4, and maybe it would have looked better with 5. It also dried matte, so I used topcoat to shine it up. The color is definitely BRIGHT though, my camera couldn't get it right! Pictures kept making it look yellowish, it's very very orange in real life.
 Haha that is all written from Saturday, I didn't get around to putting pictures up till today.
