China Glaze Exotic Encounters Nail Lacquer

China Glaze Exotic Encounters Nail Lacquer ($3.00 to $7.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "lush green creme with blue undertones." It reads as a dusty green-teal with a cream finish on me. Not a dupe, but reminiscent in the kind of color family, Rescue Beauty Lounge Jack has...

Have you used makeup as a reward for meeting a goal?

Have you used makeup as a reward for meeting a goal? If so, what was your goal and what was the reward?
