However, I for one do not wear costumes. I actually "highly dislike' to wear them. So instead I've decided to let my nails become the costume I would've worn.

 Especially the amount of charms I have, its a great time to show off some I wouldn't wear often. So a few days ago my sister and I went to see Dracula (love the book and movie), and the color combo red and black came to mind.

 Hey everyone! I have to say I have the best sister in the world! Although she tries to irritate me at times, but she can be the sweetest. As she was watching me swatch the neon collection, she surprised me with Essie's Colors In the Wild summer collection, which she knew I wanted and couldn't afford. 

 I was extremely excited and touch that she got these for me, and couldn't wait to swatch these and show them off. I truly love the colors in this collection. At first I was surprised this was for the summer, but overall they look amazing. So lets get to it:

Urban Decay Electric Trio Swatches & Review

**Products given as a gift**

Hey everyone! A few days my sister surprised me by gifting me my first Urban Decay polishes. I've been eying these mini beauties, and couldn't wait to swatch them. Most of you don't know this about me, but I'm a vegetarian. I stopped eating meat four years ago, not just for health, but for my love of animals. So I'm now trying to stir away from polishes that test on animals. 

Every since I heard Urban Decay was launching nail polishes, I just couldn't wait. If your interested in knowing who's on the cruelty free list Drama Queen Nails, written more about it on her blog (click on the name for link). The set want to you guys is their Electric Trio. So lets get to it:

Essie Too Taboo Neon Collection 2014 Swatches & Review

 **Purchased by Me**

  Hey Everyone! I have for you swatches of Essie Too Taboo Neon 2014 Collection. It's probably too late to show these beauties, but I couldn't resist to post them up today. I love how vibrant and colorful they all look and I was seriously tempted on getting my hands on them. I try really hard not to get carried away by getting the rest of the colors on a collection.

But when it comes to nail polish or Essie I have a weakness, especially when looking at these vibrant colors. Although I can't count on the formula, they were definitely streaky. Like most neon's, I recommend the white base first. This way the colors can pop, especially with their jelly like consistency. And a top coat for that glossy look, without it, the polishes dries with a matted finish. Let's get to it:

Pink Princess Cosmetics Swatches & Review + Nail Art

  **Products Provided**

 Hi everyone! Well it's the first day of July! And I have some awesome swatches for you today from new indie polish brand Pink Princess Cosmetics. Love the name and love the polishes they have to offer. They have tons of beautiful colors for all seasons.

  I absolutely love the polishes I received for review, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with their formula.

  "Who is Pink Princess?

She’s got Pretty Girl Swag, but she knows it doesn’t come easy.
She Gets What She Wants, but only because she’s a Goal Digger.
She Buys Her Own Drinks. She carries herself with Respect.
And she knows that if there’s No Risk, there’s No Reward

 Is she you?"

I think that describes it all, so let's take a look on these beautiful colors ;D
