Chi Hot Ring Illusion Around Saturn

I'm back! Did you miss me?

I had an awesome vacation. There was birdwatching and antique shopping and all kinds of fun stuff. I think I'll take more vacations. It was really nice.

I haven't gotten a chance to go through all of my messages yet, but a few people have asked about that Inp green glitter in the last post... I honestly don't know where you can buy this- I got it at the bottom of a filthy, dusty, hair and dirt covered 99 cent clearance bin. I'd never heard of the brand before I bought it. It was in with some Tropical Manicure brand polishes and a few others I've never seen before. Sorry I'm not more help!

Anyway, I'm getting settled back in, so I'll post a picture of a cool polish I picked up at Ulta a while back.

Chi Hot Ring Illusion Around Saturn. One of the most bizarre polish names I've ever seen. The color is like a teal, deep blue and greenish duochrome. It has a little purple flash to it in the bottle but it's barely visible on the nail. It's a shimmer finish, borderline frosty. Not gross frosty, but really really fine shimmer. Gorgeous.

I don't know if I have any other CHI polishes... I vaguely remember looking at some a few years ago when Ulta was getting rid of them... Then I wanted last year's holiday collection but could never find it... I'll have to go through my stash and look, because I really liked this one! The formula was nice and smooth, the handle is rubberized and the brush was really nice.

I think I need some more Chi polish!

Hmm I ALWAYS see those Chi polishes advertised with the Chi hair appliances (buy one, get the polish free). The color you swatched looks great and pretty unique. Makes me wanna go check out my Ulta for the polishes too. Thanks!

Hm, I'm still lemming after the INP. The Nubar glitter was gorgeous too.

I might have to check my Ulta for Chi polishes too, because I'm loving this color!

I would love to see a comparison between chanel kaleidoscope, bb couture for nails blind love and Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear - Celeb City, i think celeb city is more silvery. thanks for an awesome blog!

Yeah, I did miss u :D I searched the web for the inp polish for a very long time and obviously wasn't the only one. I have been working my ass off, I'm really waiting for the christmas holidays...

i have this one actually, i've swatched it but i was disappointed in the level of frosty-ness so i haven't done a whole mani with it yet. hmm, i guess i'll have to now thanks to your gorgeous pic of it :)

I think I have 'Her Intelligent Constellation' from that collection. Odd name but nice color.

Lucy said...

Of course you were missed! I've seen an add here and there but never bought any. Looks very pretty on you. I think I have something like it. Glad you had a great time on your vacation.

I'm so glad to see someone showing these! I only have one but the formula is nice and I love love love the brush, plus the rubberized handle. They did great on polish and bottle design, now if they'd just beef up marketing...if they are even still in business...

Arrianne said...

I like that. Weird ass name though haha.

Catherine said...

Wow that is beautiful!

Lina-Elvira said...

Faye said...

Chi Hot Ring Illusion Around Saturn sounds cool and looks AMAZING! I think I need some!

augusta said...

actually chi still makes this. i believe i saw the fall collection the last time i was at ulta. i didn't bother to buy it because i wasnt sure the polish would be up to par. i'll check em out the next time i'm there.

Rachell said...

No wonder I couldn't find Inp polish...!..you finding it was a fluke, Scrangie!

Rachell said...

..and I didn't know Chi carried Ulta. I have to see if the one around here carries it or order it from ulta.com. I'm not crazy about ordering online otherwise.

Rachell said...

..well you said they were getting rid of them..like years ago. Oh well..have you checked out the Ginger and Liz line?

Nina said...

What a unique site!

Blovet Beauty said...

Vanessa said...

Welcome back, of course we've missed ya ;)

Aren't those rubberized handles awesome?

CoolTrash said...

Jennifer said...

I love that Chi polish, it looks fab on you! Chi always has weird and long np names, but the colors are awesome. Glad you had a good vacation!!
