Franken Tuesday: Lady Sybil Branson

Happy Franken Tuesday...almost made it...still Tuesday here!

 

Back to Downton Abbey! I am having major withdrawals, but here is a polish to try and get us all out of that funk. This is called Lady Sybil Branson.

 

And here is the darling couple. I love that Lady Sybil is so different from her sisters. She has a big heart and knows that love is love, no matter who it is between.

 

 

I put two coats of this glitter on my ring and middle fingers with two coats of Sally Hansen Pink Satin (a metallic purple/rose) on ever other finger.

 

 

This is really not a complex polish. Very tiny lilac/rose glitter and larger teal hex glitter make up a fun, girly, but decidedly different polish fit for Sybil.

 

 

I love the way this looks!! So adorable. I am just loving the glitter bombs. Always remember the pvc glue method or risk scrubbing forever!

 

Only 2 more frankens left and the contest is ending soon. Enter Enter ENTER

 

I promise you won't be sorry!!

 

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!

Fragrance Friday: Scandal in London

Happy Friday!

Today I bring you Sarawen's 'Scandal in London' perfume from her Victorian Collection.

I have been so anxious to smell this ever since I placed my order for it. Even her sample vials are so cute. You can get a sample or full size of this scent here.

Since this perfume was inspired by Sherlock's Irene Adler, I decided to post this lovely picture of RDJ. You're welcome.

Sarawen describes 'Scandal in London' as: Feminine lilac and ylang ylang flowers blends with feisty dragonsblood with a light hint of eastern sandalwood. A touch of Holmes' favourite tobacco tops off this sultry floriental perfume.


On my skin, 'Scandal in London' is lilac right away. It is almost all floral top notes, which is really pretty and feminine. Once it sets, the sandalwood is the dominant note for me, with just a hint of the ylang ylang.

It smells like a balmy day, sitting outside of a cigar room, browsing a vintage boutique. It is unmistakably girly, but I don't get any of the danger.

The tabacco is really nice, very fresh and deep. It ends wonderfully and stays the whole day.

I love the idea of this perfume. Don't you?

Matte + Enchanted Fairy

Hey loves!

I have been searching high and low for a matte top coat. I stumbled upon the last NYC one at Target a few days ago and thanked the nail polish goddesses. I decided to try it out over one of my new Essence polishes.

Here is my little guinea pig polish - Essence 'Enchanted Fairy' which is a pale lilac with silver shimmer. It retails at Ulta for $.99.

Here it is right before the matte topcoat. Pretty huh? I like that is goes with the cool tones of my skin.

And here I am holding NYC 'Matte Me Crazy' topcoat which retails for $1.99. Doesn't this polish look so cool and classy all matte? It was fun to watch it change right before my eyes.

I love it! I guess I am hopping on the matte-train a little late, but better than never!

You already know that I love Essence polishes to death, so I will only be reviewing the matte coat here.

Final Thoughts: A cheap way to get into the matte trend. I love that the bottle is small enough for travel.

Price: 10/10
Staying Power: 9/10
Packaging: 8/10
Color/Wearability: N/A
Quality/Branding: 9/10

Total: 36/40 = A- = Pleased Panda!

Tell me what polishes you love to matte!!
