NOTD Milani Ruby Jewels

If Dorothy’s ruby red slippers were a nail polish it would be Ruby Jewels. This is my color for Halloween and I love it! It’s a very pretty red and the glitter gives it just that little something extra. It looks so pretty in the sun! If you can’t find Ruby Jewels try Orly’s Red Carpet which is also a red with glitter. It’s just a tad bit brighter.

NOTD Milani Garnet Gems

This is a very pretty black with red glitter in it. It's would be a great Halloween color. It goes on very easy and 2 coats would be just fine. I prefer 3 coats so that is what you see in the pictures. Taking it off may be tricky. Since there is glitter in the polish the cotton ball tends to want to stick to the nail. Despite that it was really easy to come off and I used 4 cotton balls, 2 to take off the polish and 2 to clean up any residue.

Now on to the camera whoring...

Sinful Colors Berry Charmed.  This is a serious burgundy, very pretty. 

Milani Lip Gloss in Sugar Sugar.  This is a really pretty shimmery brown

 

Urban Decay XXX Shine Cooling Lip Gloss in Love Junkie.  This looks a lot darker in the tube but it's a very actually very light in real life.  Since this is a "cooling lip gloss"  It tingles when you apply it and can feel like a thousand tiny pins stabbing your lips.  Well...that's what it felt like to me...

 

MAC's Port Red Lipstick 

 

How about a combo of Port Red and Berry Charmed.  I really like this combo together.
