Is It Vacation Time?

Good Morning, We are almost at the end of the work week! Right after work I pulled into Walgreens and walked right over and browsed the Sinful Colors display.  My eyes zoomed right in on Vacation Time...such a catchy name.  Very pretty dusty pink creme.  I really like it! It's a safe color to wear at the office or at an interview don't you agree...Still looking for the Revlon Glitters (sigh)  


Used my standard 2 coats
       This picture is more color accurate. Wish I were going on Vacation ^_^ 


 Until next time please have a great nail polish day!

Blue Monday, Shabby Chic Crackle...

Blue Monday by Annie Lee

Good Morning, It's another Blue Monday!  I just realized I made my 100th post on Thursday, Yay!

Too bad I missed out on the old Cover Girl Nailslicks when they were new.  Oh, why did they stop making them!  I only have a few that I found on ebay.   Hula Blue is a pretty sky blue creme with great opacity with one coat,  used 2 coats.  I also found a Cover Girl Crackle Lacquer Blue Moon on ebay. 

Hula Blue
 

I made sure Hula Blue was still wet when I applied one coat of Crackle Lacquer Blue Moon.

Blue Moon
I Think it looks just like old shabby chic crackle painted furniture, don't you think? Look how each nail is different.  I used Revlon Color Stay Top Coat to give it shine because the crackle polish is sort of matte. 

Do you have any CG Nail Slicks?  What about Crackle Lacquers?  Wish I can find more.  They are sooo HTF!


Until next time please have a great nail polish day.
 

New York Summer Color...Amaranth

It's Friday, YaY!!  I'm left handed so I use my right hand as a model.  Sad to say my pinkie nail broke, so I have to resort to showing you my left hand.  It was so awkward for me to hold my camera in my right hand.  I'll see how this works out.  I just might have to cut my nails down to nubbins on my right hand...Yikes!

I just got this swap in the mail and I thought I would never own this gorgeous green jelly.  Thanks Gia! 

                                 Amaranth
Not the best pictures, but this was the only way I could show the true color of this lovely jelly green.

I used 3 coats and since this polish doesn't have a shine to it used one coat of revlon's color stay topcoat then one coat of seche vite.

Do you own this one?  Do you love jellies like I do?

 

Have a Wonderful Weekend! Until next time please have a great nail polish day (✿◠‿◠)

Dermelect...Makeover Ridgefiller Review

MAKEOVER RIDGE FILLER


Ridges are to nails as wrinkles are to your face – unattractive and a revealing sign of aging.

Multi-tasks to cleverly conceal nail imperfections with a natural pink hue while treating them with protein, vitamins and much needed moisture.

Utilizes ProSina to strengthen weak nails and make them resistant to splits and breaks.
Uses Pentavitin, a crucial moisture binding agent to correctly restore moisture to dry, brittle nails.
Two anti-aging formulas in one! Conceals and strengthens!

$18.00 on http://www.dermelect.com/

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGY


New Zealand wool protein biotechnology is the secret ingredient in a new generation of nail and hand care products launched by Dermelect Cosmeceuticals. Keratin, the main protein in fingernails and skin, diminishes as we age and expose our nails to everyday wear and tear. The peptide ingredient ProSina™ is extracted from wool in a gentle yet powerful process keeping the protein intact maintaining its potency without damaging the amino acids that make it up. The integrity of the extracted peptide (keratin protein) is in a near-perfect state yielding unprecedented age-defying, strengthening and softening properties for the nails.


Makeover
Pretty pink opal creme ridgefiller and treatment in one.  I used 2 coats, my ridges are covered well. My nails aren't weak so, I don't know if its a good strenghtener. It wears like a regular polish and  is pretty enough to wear alone for those times when you feel lazy like I feel today. lol!  

Follow Dermelect on Twitter/Facebook for a chance to win a Nail Recovery System (value $70).

This product was sent to me by the manufacturer or pr company for review


Until next time please have a great nail polish day.

Blue Monday, Finger Paints, Heavenly Miracles Collection...Blissfully Blue

Blue Monday by Annie Lee  

Good Morning, Another Blue Monday! Today I have Blissfully Blue a pretty pastel creme.  1st coat was a little streaky but it evened out with the 2nd coat.

Blissfully Blue
 
Pastel blues are such a happy color

I tried y'all  did a little sponging, but didn't come out quite like I wanted, I'm showing it to you anyway.
Tip color is Finger Paints Artistic Azure (I believe it's from the Heavenly Miracles Collection) Then topped with blue glitter from Claire's new glitter collection. 


 Until next time have a great nail polish day!

New Misa Collection: What I Like About You

Good Morning!  Just got some exciting information.  Misa has an upcoming new Fall collection!  Don't these look yummy?  I see your mouth watering for them ^_^

July 19, 2010 – Philadelphia, PA. Sometimes it’s easy to know just what you want, but you’ll immediately know what you need when you lay your eyes on the Misa Cosmetics What I Like About You Collection, six new shades for fall that plumb the depths of color intensity. You’ve explored the dark side of romance with the Poisoned Passion Collection; now fall in love with the ecstasy that love can provide through these dare-you-to-look-away glimmering hues. Just like a budding affair, these colors will spark inexplicable emotions and near-obsessive thoughts. Go ahead—indulge your deepest desires!





Fall 2010: What I Like About You Collection

Quirky Smile: Something about his lilted smile lets you know he’s interested…and this shimmering Prussian blue is no less attention-grabbing. However, this rich shade invites you into deeper territory—what’s lurking beneath? In this case, you’ll discover a polish that evokes stormy skies and churning seas, a perfect metaphor for love’s mixed emotions.


Like It Like That: You can’t avoid feeling upbeat when a relationship is going just right, or when gazing at nails that are the perfect shade. Just try to block this candy apple green out of your mind; when you like it like that, why deny yourself the pleasure?

Spinning Out of Control: Sometimes you just can’t control yourself—and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Embrace that euphoric feeling with a brooding cobalt blue-violet that says, “Don’t stop this merry-go-round; I’m enjoying the ride!”


It’s You!: Searching for the perfect mate is like searching for the perfect nail polish shade: When you find it, you know right away. Like a perfect-match partner, this multilayered iridescent hue offers the best of both worlds: a smoldering forest green shot through with copper ribbons that glimmer and twinkle perfectly in candlelight.


Perfect Kiss: Don’t blush! When you recognize a good moment, grab what’s yours: the perfect kiss. A well-planted smooch can provide material for days of daydreaming, and this vibrant fuchsia is equally fantasy-inspiring. An eye-catching color like this one will have any man’s lips quivering uncontrollably.


When U Say My Name: Chances are, your man has plenty to say, but nothing is sweeter than when he whispers your name while in a sweet embrace. Blissfully sink into the moment while donning this sultry rust, and don’t be afraid to demand, “Say it again!”

Which ones do you have your eye(s) on?  Is it all of them?  What are your thoughts?   =)

Until next time please have a great nail polish day.

Nicole Matte...Respect the World

It's Friday, did the week go by fast for you?  Today I have my one and only matte from Nicole.  I may go back and pick up the rest of the collection.  If you haven't seen them look here  I think they are just like the Opi suedes.  These matte polishes dry super fast so its best to apply them thick that way you get an even and  smooth application.  Only 2 coats needed. Respect the World is a turquoise aqua shimmer.  From the bottle it has silver shimmer but not shown on the nail.  Pretty though.  Here she is...

                               Respect the World
My pinkie nail broke and I did a bum job of repair. I'm camouflaging it with my text. He He =) 

Can't always be perfect right?

Here she is with some shine, used SV topcoat

Do you like suede, or matte polishes?  Which do you prefer to wear them matte or super shiny?
I like them both.  My left hand is matte and my right hand is super shiny.  Yep, that's the way I wore my mani.

So, there you have it.  I surely do hope you have a great weekend. Until next time please have a great nail polish day.
