Throwback Tuesday is where I take some of my older polishes and review it. Also this is going to be a way for me to be able to see if the polish is old and needs to be thrown away and replaced if it wasn't limited edition. I have a basket that I have pulled out of my collection that I have had for years. I am on the fence on whether or not to throw it out or not. This gives me an excuse to go through my collection since it's gotten so big, there are months that can go by between when I use a polish, and the older ones can expire. I got the idea from last week's versus, when I realized that my Pure Ice Wild Thing needed to be thrown out.
The two main things I will be looking for formula- has it changed, is it thick and stringy? and smell. If formula has changed and it's thick I can add a thinner to it. If it's isn't an limited edition and cheap, I will probably throw it away. At the end of each blog I will let you know if I am going to throw and replace, just throw it out, keep, or rehab.
First polish of Throwback Tuesday will be three blacks that I have had since high school.
When I was in high school, I went through this phrase where all I would wear was black nail polish. I loved it. I was also on the search for the perfect black nail polish. I found it, but I didn't like the brush, so I used a brush from a different black polish that I loved the brush on. Read on to find out.
Wet n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Black Out
Maybelline Express Finish Onyx Rush
Wet n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme
This is the oldest of all the three black polishes that are mentioned here today. I don't know the exact age, but I am guessing it's going on eight years old. This was my first ever black nail polish owned. It isn't though the oldest polish I own. This polish is completely dried up, but I think I helped it along. A several of months ago I added Nail Polish Remover to it, this is before I found out about nail polish thinner. There is no rehabing this polish. I am going to throw it away and replace it. Plus it's only 99 cents to replace.
Sally Hansen Hard as Nail Xtreme Wear Black Out
This is the second oldest Black Nail Polish I own. This is my first Sally Hansen Polish I ever owned. It started my love of the polish. However, I did not like the brush on this polish at the time. You can see how the brush is messed up because I put it in a smaller bottle. I loved the other brush more than this one. This is probably my holy grail black nail polish, but I have not used it in a while. I haven't wore a lot of black nail polish here lately. When I opened this bottle, the smell about knocked me down. The formula though hasn't thickened up or become stringy. I am going to throw this polish out and replace. I don't know why I hadn't already replace it anyway.
Maybelline Express Finish Onyx Rush
This is the polish I loved the brush on. This polish is only about five years old. Yes, it's still old, but comparing to the others it's young. The formula hasn't changed. It isn't sticky or thick. The smell though is starting to change. I am planning on keeping it for a few more months. Come Fall, I will recheck it, and see if the smell has changed any. If it has I will through it out. I would like to get a couple more uses out of this polish. I believe this polish is no longer available. Considering I bought this polish at the Dollar Tree five years ago.

Rue's Life
- I'm addicted to Candy Crush
- Did You all know they now have Peanut Butter Poptarts? Need to find them and try them.
- I'm wanting to change something about my hair. I haven't done anything to it in over a year. I either want to trim it and add some layers and bangs or color it. If I color it,I will probably wait until the end of summer, where the pool won't affect the color.
Peaceful and Happy thought,
--Rue.
