Hello Happy X-mas Eve! And a Happy Friday too! Today I have an old polish for you. I was lucky enough to come across some of the matte Maybelline polishes at my local dollar tree, quite some time ago. This is Matte Grey. Matte Grey is a light gun metal matte that dries to a semi-satin finish due to the loads of shimmer. This does dries to a decent matte, but my pics don't show that very well ...sorry. These polishes would look great with a top coat too. I want to mention that these went on quite nicely for me. Not sure if that's luck or not but I thought it was worth mentioning. This is 2 coats, no base, no top.
Hi, I'm Kitty and this is my habitually neglected blog about nail polish. If there's anything you would like to see (mostly old stuff) let me know! email me at katherinekittyaustin@gmail.com Don't forget to click on an image to see it enlarged. :)

Ulta Matte-Rial Girl, Violet Velour
Hello! Hope your weekend went well. Mine was good other than it being cold and wet like a typical Seattle Fall day! Argh!!!! I can't tell you how annoying this wetness in June is! I'm gonna go CRAZY soon...LOL! Today I'm walking to the park to meet up with my daughters' class for lunch then My Son's 5th grade Graduation Tonight!!!!! So Happy and Proud!!! Also I picked up 2 more goodies to throw in my Giveaway. I'll give you a hint ...... They both have "Ruby" in their names and they are both by Sally Hansen. HEHEHE! Any guesses?
Violet Velour is the 4th and last in this mini matte collection. This isn't really very violet maybe a tiny bit. But I still luv this one! Same as the others this is packed with silver glitter/particles Super pigmented and rich, this was 2 coats... All pic's taken with a bottle of Seche Vite have one coat of SV.
Pics taken in the shade............

Ulta Matte-Rial Girl Nail Polish, Slate Silk
Hello and a Happy Friday to you! I couldn't sleep last night. I'm running on fumes at this point! I was hoping to get tons of house work done today and now I just want to go back to bed! Today is another super grey, blah kinda day, but this weekend should be sunny and 75' ! I was hoping on getting my chores done today so I can enjoy this pretty weekend (the rain comes back Monday) So I will probably drink lots of coffee and force my way thru the day!
Anyhoo, This is the first polish I'm gonna show you from the Ulta Matte-rial girl Collection. These are all mini's and come in a set of four. Slate silk is a matte slate grey polish with silver sparkle. This applied great in 2 coats and had great drying time. I luv the textured look of these! Very cool and edgy! I also luv polishes that change depending on lighting and these do! In low light this is super matte like unpolished marble! In the sunshine even without a top coat these sparkle! luuuuuv it!
P.S. All pics taken with a SV bottle have a coat of SV.........

OPI Polish, Alpine Snow - Matte
Hey there today I have another matte white for your viewing pleasure. This is 3 coats of Alpine Snow- matte, No base, no top coat. This was easier to use then the one from my previous post. I also loved this as a base! I will show you what I mean tomorrow.
I also wanted to mention that My Blogs 1st Birthday is coming up! And I'm turning 30 next month so I'm thinking of doing a small. fun giveaway. I want to give that last bottle of Kitty from Bloom away before I give it to someone in my fam. And I think it will go nicely with all the mint shades that are so hot this spring.
I have to mention that I'm losing steam with the whole boggin thing in general. I just thought I would have more of a following by now. Feels like 122 followers after a year, just makes me a bit of a loser. Not that I don't love and appreciate all my followers. Because I do! I started this blog to help people pick and choose colors they liked and brands and all that. But I don't feel like I'm helping anyone. Anyways, sorry for the pity party. I will continue to blog until my year is up but after that I don't know.

P.S. I counted my collection last night!!! Scary, I know! I have over 800 polish I have not swatched or posted! Crazy Kitty ...LOL!

Color Club Polish, Alabaster
Hello, I hope every one's Valentines Day was wonderful! I took a few days off to rest and enjoy the Holiday. Now me and the kids have the week off! Happy Dance!!!!
This is Color Club's Alabaster, from the Dark Romance, Matte Collection of mini's. I won this little collection's from Mary over at Body and Soul. I was so excited to get this collection. But I'm sad to report that in this collection, only one of these polishes turned out to be matte. The white I'm showing you here is not at all matte. This turned out to be a very hard to work with white creme, with a shinny finish. This is 2 thick gloppy coats.
