It's half-assed swatch time! My nails look pretty bad about 90% of the time but I wanted to share this neato nail polish with you anyways!
Revlon recently came out with a line of scented nail polishes. I'm still a bit confused on how many are available, I keep seeing different displays. Shoppers Drug Mart had 16 I believe, so I snagged 7 of them. I'll be completely honest, I bought most of them for their supposed smell. Like Spun Sugar. It's just a silver. BUT A SMELLEH ONE! Good smelly. Autumn Spice I bought for both looks and smell and I hope to half-ass swatch that one soon too.
I used 2 coats and it went on nicely. There was a bit of a bald spot on one of my thumbnails but the good thing about light reflecty nail polish, is you can't see it unless you are super close up or aim the bottom of your nail toward a light source.
THE SMELL. This is the best part. I see everyone describe this one but I don't think anyone has pointed out the obvious yet (obvious to me, that is.) Spun Sugar smells just like Thierry Mugler's Angel perfume! It's not wicked strong but I love it.
Now here's a 1 shot swatch of my scented phalanges. Click to make bigger.
I was so happy to find these I forgot how much they were.... I think they were $7.99/ea CDN.
Unfortunately I can't comment on wear. I'll be stripping this off in about a day to try one of the other ones out because I'm impatient :) So far so good. These are nothing like those crappy scented polishes from Claire's that peel off in 30 minutes.

Oslo Cosmetics/Odoro Perfume
~2nd edit~ If you don't like snark, you might as well click the back button now. I've never censored myself, nor do I plan to. So if you're the kind of person that can't see picture evidence because you just can't look past my "bitchiness", well, that's kinda too bad for ya. If you've been following me for years and haven't dropped me yet for my wonderful "tone", you won't be surprised by this post. It's just another rant by me. So sit back, grab the popcorn and have a chuckle. I SAID CHUCKLE, DAMMIT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indie's bahaving badly, volume "who knows".
Where do you draw the line when you decide a shop is not worth the trouble?
Fingerprints in jars
Stealing other photos as your own
Making things and releasing them without further testing to look for product wear
Fib fib, fibbity fib fib.
WELL FOLKS, Oslo is guilty in 3/4 of that list. Not the fingerprints, that I know of. I just get really grossed out by prints and felt the need to gross y'all out again. I quit 2 shops due to that bit of yuck.
First lets talk about stealing photos. At one point Oslo was using a Jill Stuart photo to show off her trios. She also used a swatch of Too Faced lip cream as one of her own. When it was brought to Reddit's attention her excuse was:
Man that's tiny, I'll copy:
