Sally Hansen Rainbow Lights Collection from Miracle Gel

 pr samples

I'm excited to show you the new Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Rainbow Lights Collection.  There are four lovely new cream shades in this collection.  I'm also trying out the new and improved Miracle Gel Top Coat which boasts up to 8 days of colour and shine!

First up is  Crying Out Cloud, a lovely soft purple cream with a fabulous formula, two easy coats.

Sun Shower is a sweet, pale sunny yellow cream.  I needed three coats to get full opacity with this one.

Sweet Pea is a soft, pastel green cream.  I used two coats for my swatch.

Tutu the Ballet is a lovely sheer, pale pink.  It has a slight jelly finish but still built up well in three coats.

What do you think of this sweet pastel collection?

Have a great day loves,

OPI Gold Foil Milk Bath Nails

 sample

I have wanted to try 'Milk Bath' nail art for a while now but I don't have any florals to use so I thought I would try gold foil instead!  I love how they turned out.

I used OPI Baby, Take a Vow which is a lovely sheer pink jelly. I did a layer of Baby, Take a Vow and then a layer of foil and I did that 3 times to get this look.

Have you tried Milk Bath nails yet?

Have a great day loves

Essie Resort Fling

Hiya Dolls!

The Huz brought me home a new polish the other day.  It's pretty risky buying me a polish from the drug store considering how many polishes I own, but he did good.  I didn't own Essie Resort Fling yet!

Resort Fling is a lovely jelly orange/peach.  Formula is fantastic and the end result is so squishy and shiny!  I did three thin coats.

OPI Holiday Glam's In The Bag 2014

PRESS RELEASE

Hey Dolls

I was so excited to receive OPI Holiday Glam's In The Bag to review because it came with a polish that I have wanted for so long now, OPI Funny Bunny.  This gorgeous white jelly/cream is perfect for Winter.  Funny Bunny came with OPI Bagota Blackberry and also two super cute makeup bags, one in black sateen and the other in a white and black print with contrasting red zipper.

Funny Bunny has a great formula, I did three very thin coats and although there is some visible nail line showing, I love the finish.  It looks super squishy.

Bagota Blackberry is a stunning raspberry wine color with pretty shimmer that makes it look like it's glowing.  I had tons of compliments when I wore this.  Two easy coats and very little brushstrokes.

Have you guys picked up any of the Holiday Glam's In The Bag?  They retail for $21.50 cnd and are available as of Oct 2014.

Gwen Stefani Holiday for OPI 2014

PRESS SAMPLE

Hey Dolls!

I am so excited to share a few polishes from the new Gwen Stefani Holiday Collection for OPI 2014.  There are 18 limited edition polishes in the gorgeous collection.

First up is First Class Desires which is a stunning, eggplant-purple with gold shimmer.  I used two coats for my swatch and it gave me perfect opacity.

Fashion A Bow is a beautiful red jelly with orange undertones.  I used two coats for my swatch and even though there is visible nail line (I usually dislike that look) I really liked this color on my nails.  The VNL in much less noticeable in real life.

Lastly there is this gorgeous glitter topper called Comet In The Sky.  Comet In The Sky has small, medium and large black and iridescent glitters in a clear base.  I added one coat of Comet In The Sky over OPI Funny Bunny.  This is such a fun polish and will look fantastic over so many different polishes!

Which one of these three is your favorite?  Will you be picking up any polishes from this collection?

This collection will be available in October 2014.

Nude and Flourescent Gradient

Hi Dolls

 

Happy Monday, hope everyone had a great weekend.  We had girly sleepovers, swim dates, and lots of nail painting this weekend.  Couldn't ask for much better than that!

 

The mani I'm sharing with you today, just might be my all-time most favorite one!  Eva!  I have wanted to try this look ever since I saw @lafemmelulu on Instagram do one similar.

 

 

The polishes I used are Essie Better Together which is a lovely squishy pink jelly and Color Club East Austin.  I dabbed on a little Nicole by OPI Carrie'd Away on the tips.  So easy and such a fun look!

I dabbed on some chunkier glitter afterwards, but didn't end up liking the colors together.  Next time I'm going to use a purple polish and try a nice chunky glitter with it.

 





Pink Week Breast Cancer Awareness, Day 3

Hiya Dolls,

 

We are on day 3 of Pink Week Mani's for Breast Cancer Awareness. 

Today I have an OPI Heart Throb jelly sandwich.  This is such a beautiful pink jelly.  Again I used ILNP Gold Everything as the glitter to my sandwich.  I just can't get enough of those beautiful circle glitters.

 

Fact four:

 

 



Pink Week, Breast Cancer Awareness

Hey Dolls

 

This is day two of our Pink Mani Week for Breast Cancer Awareness.

 

 

This is Essie Secret Story, my absolute favorite pink jelly polish.  This is three thin coats of Secret Story, with OPI Pirouette My Whistle on the tips.

 

 

Fact number two:

 

Even though this fact is really scary, there is hope!  Early detection is key, more about this to come in the next few days.

 





Revlon Girly

Hiya Dolls

 

I've had these swatches of Revlon Girly for ages now (look how pale my fingers were).  Finally sharing it, better late than never!

 

 

Girly has peach, pink and purple multi-sized glitters in a milky, jelly pink base.  I used 3 thin coats here.

 

Did any of you girlies pick up Girly?!





Clinique Enamel, Limited Edition Summer 2013, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

 

Clinique A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins has just made it's debut in Canada.  I have totally fallen for Clinque polishes, the application is a breeze, they dry soooo quickly and wear super well!  You can see my swatches of the permanent collection here.  Today I have four out of the nine limited edition colors for Summer 2013.

 

First up is Hula Skirt, the prettiest grass green cream.  Formula was fantastic, two smooth coats for perfect coverage.

 

 

Pinkini is a flirty bubble gum pink cream.  Pinks are always a hit in my books, so it's no wonder that this one is my favorite.  Again this is two coats for perfect coverage.

 



Hot Date is a squishy purple jelly.  I used three coats to cover up my nail line and this jelly built up wonderfully.  My camera showed Hot Date more red than it is in person.  I see some fun jelly sandwiches in the future with this one!

 

 



Strappy Sandals is a shiny silver foil.  I was surprised that a silver foil was in a Summer collection, but as soon as I read the name Strappy Sandals, it made perfect sense!  I think that it's a fabulous idea and I am super excited to wear this in the Summer.  Application was great, two thin coats were all I needed.

 



 

Which ones catch your fancy?

Twinsie Tuesday Spring to Summer

Hiya!

 

For Twinsie Tuesday this week we are showing a polish that we think is a good transition from Spring to Summer.  I'm not too big on 'Seasonal' polishes, maybe I should be but I pretty much wear what I want when I want it!

 

I am a huge fan of pink-leaning nudes (that sounds bad!).  When I saw NYC Prospect Park Bloom I knew it was one I would love.  PPB is a cream with a hint of squishy jelly finish.  The only problem was that it was a little streaky, three thin coats helped.

 

I think that nude nails can be worn in any season and I especially love them against a nice sun tan.

 

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what the other twinsie's have done this week.  Check them out:

Twinsie Tuesday Revisited

Hello hello,

 

I think this week's TT theme is a great one, it's Twinsie Tuesday Revisited.  That means we each get to go back and re-do the previous mani of our choice.  I went back to Feb 2012 which was "Franken polish".

Gosh Holographic Hero is a silver linear holo.  The rainbow isn't super stong in this holo, but it's definately there.

I mixed NYC MoMa with HH and it made the most beautiful purple color!  The only problem was that it lost almost all of the holo effect. 

 Even though the rainbow disappeared, I still really like how this turned out!

Check out the other Twinsies!

Claire's Pinata Jelly Sandwich

I almost squealed when I saw Pinata at Claires the other day!  I don't have any shard-type polish yet, so of course I picked this up!

 

Pinata has multi-color chard bits in a clear base, so fabulous!  Application was a little tricky, sometimes the shards were sparse and sometimes they clumped together.  The end result was way worth it though.  I used Finger Paints Gossamer White with Pinata for my jelly sandwhich.

 

Three thin coats of Gossamer White.

 



Next I added one thin coat of Gossamer White over Pinata.

 



And on Pinata on all four fingers as a jelly sandwich.
