Jesse's Girl Glee Vs. Wet n' Wild Teal of Fortune

Pinky- Glee Ring-TOF Index- Glee Pointer- TOF

I finally got my hands on some Jesse's Girl Cosmetics after visiting my big brother at his base in Washington.  Overall the visit was amazing... but OMG! I got so many AMAZING polishes! My first ever Butter London purchases from these super cute boutiques, and the Riteaid near my hotel has a bunch of the Sinful Color's summer collections so I picked a couple from there.  And the little local family owned pharmacy had some amazing glass nail files for 5 bucks each... and ya'll know I picked some of those guys up.
The polish: Excuse my cuticles I had got a no chip manicure so I didn't have to worry about chips while I was on vacation. But that was a fail of a manicure... the nail technician was awful.  I was cleaning and organizing my stash of polish into sterilite containers by brand and came across how similar Glee and Teal of Fortune looked to me in the bottle.  TOF doesn't have the amazing yellowy gold flakiness that Glee has but it struck me to do a comparison.  TOF is much darker than Glee as you can see so they certainly aren't dupes for each other, and TOF doesn't stain my natural nail beds like Glee did.  Overall the application was great on both of the polish except for the wonky brush that came with TOF( the brush was splayed out in all directions).

July Birchbox

Not going to lie, I was so excited to get the Cynthia Rowley birchbox (don't know who she is but this box is so pretty!) For those who don't know for $10 you get a box of 4-5 deluxe samples and sometimes full sized products.  Great deal right?  And as excited as I was to get this, wasn't impressed at all.   These are the products that I received: 
 
A shine spray, a fruit and nut bar, a eyebrow pencil, shower gel and a face wash.  Meh.  I've gotten much better ones before, and I was disappointed because I know there's about 10 different versions of this box, and I unfortunately don't think I got a very good one.   On a better note I love the design on the box before you open it.  I may have been disappointed in the products but this box is gorgeous!

Orly Sec 'N Dry topcoat review Raspberry Rush

I'm going to start out by saying I've tried a lot of topcoats that I've loved... Out the Door, Seche Vite, Poshe.... but I HATE Sec 'n dry by Orly! I lost my poshe topcoat in the black hole behind my bed so I had to turn to S'ND, I've used it as a manicure reviver and I absolutely love itBut as a topcoat... heck no I'm not a fan.  It didn't dry quickly at all for me, and even after an hour I still got dents in it. Which I've never experienced after an hour of using any other quick dry topcoats and a china glaze nail polish.  I'm stuck using it for the next couple of weeks until I get a chance to get a new bottle of Poshe.

Raspberry Rush by Color Club.  Smelled like those itty bitty jaw breakers that I got once at the Jelly Belly Factory I didn't really smell the raspberry but it smelled good enough to attack my father to smell  while he was trying to take a nap.  I liked the color enough but, pink polish really isn't my thing.
Smelled like these

Looked like this :)
