These are some of the most exciting shades from the lot with the holos and chromes. I'm not sure I understand the quantity of shades produced in the chrome nail makeup line, many of them seem too similar to me. These are also my first Nail Prism bottles, they look cool!
Here are all of the Maybelline from this massive lot. These all range in the more typical shades of pink, maybe, red, etc, but there are some very nice shimmers and bright colors. I think the Salon Expert bottles are technically vintage but I'm less excited about those. I love the pink and gold caps!
I cannot manage to get a color accurate photo of this one. It looks more pale purple in person or as the name implies, periwinkle. I also was impatient and applied after shaking the bottle so there are bubbles. Oops.
I received a large auction lot today! I'm happy to share what I found but I'm going to need to divide it up a bit. It's going to take me a minute to type these up in the comments but you should be able to see all names in the meantime. This probably doubles my Revlon collection, with only a few doubles. I'm especially excited for the chromes and the shifty shades.
Once I sort this all out I do plan to do a sale post too.
I couldn't find anything about this shade online but the bottle style suggests it's from the 90's. It's a very pail frosty green, also a bit sheer. It's cute!
Another of my street wear polishes, this time it's Seductive which is a nearly metallic purple? It's like car paint. Is it duochrome? I really don't know. It's pretty anyway.
This one is a nice shimmery orange brown shade. It appears to have a matching lipstick and the collection with the same name includes other earthy brown shades. My bottle lacks all the text and labels on the bottle unfortunately but the polish is still good and the shade name present.
In case you don't know, Fashion Bug was a women and girls clothing store that shuttered in the early 2010's. We had one in a strip mall in my town. My mother roped me into a fashion show featuring customers as the models where you get to keep the outfit. It was kinda weird looking back now.
I'm not sure the date for this bottle of polish but I'm guessing it was the 1990's but it could have been a bit later or even earlier. This shade is pink with a blue flash, which is showing a bit too strong in the first photo. The second and third photos are more realistic. It's a touch sheer but very cute!
This is my second bottle of Chrome nail makeup and honestly I can't tell the difference between this and my Silver Diamond bottle. It's maybe more blue? I haven't watched them side by side though. These chrome polishes really show my nail texture but that's fine.
The sun didn't come out so the photos could have been better, but my aquarium lights worked out.
Shorty nails are back with Button Fly, referring to jeans probably. I see some blog posts referencing a denim themed collection but no info on the release date or any ads for it. I would call this periwinkle that is on the blue side. It's a lovely color I think!
Here's another Street Wear! It's called Ruined and is a shimmery darker brown shade. My nails were probably at their longest at this point and I broke a few shortly after so I guess that's pretty much my limit. I love dark shades like this. The only problem is mistakes show up more on the edges so I need to be more careful.
This one is from the Justing Bieber collection called One Less Lonely Girl. First photo doesn't have topcoat because I added ILNP spotted to make it like a bird egg manicure for Easter (I'm very behind posting manicures). I took photos in a few lighting types since the color comes across differently. It's like a blue leaning mint green, though my photos look more blue. Application wasn't the nicest but top coat fixed that.
I was never a Bieber fan although I was the target age. I was determined to hate pop music and was more interested in anime boys.
It's been awhile! I've been a bit stressed out by some things lately so haven't been posting, but still have been painting and photographing. I'll catch up eventually.
Sometimes I ask my partner what color to paint my nails, on this day he said pale yellow. This is a pale yellow with a bit of shimmer. Application wasn't fun and maybe I still needed another coat on the thumb. I think the speed dry polishes can be a bit tricky. Regardless this is a cute color.

I found blog posts about this shade from 2011, which seems about right for a release date but I didn't find any collection info. My bottle came in an eBay lot where a bottle broke. When cleaning up the remaining bottles the top label for this one got a bit messed up. Oops.
I have a backlog of manicures to post because I've been a bit lazy about it. This one is a Rimmel polish which is purple with a pink flash. I always love this sort of color! Second to last photo is in shade. Last photo is an ad I found from the mid 2000's.
