Clinique Black Honey Skittle

Hiya Dolls

 

I've got another simple skittle mani to show you today, I just cant get enough!  I used Clinique's Black Honey polish on my pinky, it's my favorite Clinique polish.  I love how vampy and dark it is without being black.  I also used Clinique Strappy Sandals on my middle finger.  For my ring, pointer and thumb I used Wet n Wild Sugar Coat.  I had to do 4 coats of Sugar coat to get the opacity I like.

 



Twinsie Tuesday Something New

Hey Dolls

 

For Twinsie Tuesday this week the theme is 'Something New'.  I knew right away that I wanted to try the Water Fall Nail Art from The Nailasaurus.  It's new and fresh and I loooove the design.

 

This was my first try and I did it on my 7 day old mani.  Yes you read that right!  This is the longest I've ever worn a polish for and I only had a bit of tip wear and growth, not even one chip!  I liked the first try so much I decided to just use this for my mani this week.  I will for sure be doing more of these!

 

My base is Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in Prickly Pear.  For my stripes I used China Glaze For Audrey and Peachy Keen, and Clinique Strappy Sandals.  I used a thin brush for the stripes, next time I will do them thinner so I can add more lines.

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?
