CQ Rustic Dream, whymsy, and Hubby's Picks

I've noticed three things as of late:

1. I don't have the desire to buy entire collections anymore.
2. I don't need every single polish I have because I probably have dupes.
3. I tend to shop higher end/harder to get/and more expensive polishes.

Bad habit. I hadn't hit Rite Aid in AGES. So when I went and saw a sale I decided to finally try out a brand I've looked at but haven't seen featured very often called CQ. Don't know the back story on this line is, but this one just looked fiery and passionate so I felt I needed it:

It takes some work but at 2.99 I would be a bit disillusioned to think it wouldn't. Lets be honest.

It flashes from a bronze-gold into a rosy metal pink with deep oranges to be seen here and there. It's incredible!!

Coat one was a hot, streaky mess. The worst of this finish type. But the color in the bottle urged me to continue. Three coats produced this gorgeous coat (still streaks

I sure am glad I did!! I couldn't resist doing some stamping though:

I tried out pink on one hand and loved it but it made the duochrome become more strong in the rose tones so I wanted to see what brown might do. The brown stamping looked just dirty :( But live and learn!
Now for hubby's picks! He thinks he's clever ;) I've already got an idea!! Tee hee.

We've got Snowman red glitter, Brash Sparkling Brick, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Pacific Blue, and Sally Hansen InstaDri Emerald Express. I know it's a day late but it couldn't be helped. It's been quite a week.
