Midtown


Hey ya'll. Just wanted to post about a new color I bought recently. :)
THis is N.Y.C.~ Midtown. It's a really pretty kinda sheer pink with a nice blue flash. I tried to capture that on the camera with that first picture... but it never seems to work. Oh well. :-/
I think I used two coats. You might need to use three. Wow... I can't remember much about this color. I like it though. Kind of a different pink. The $1.99 price tag on these is pretty good, too. So, if you don't really like the color you picked up, at least it wasn't as expensive as a bottle of OPI. :)

Hope ya'll enjoyed. :)

Sugar Sugar


Hey ya'll. Here's a new color I picked up.
Sinful Colors~ Sugar Sugar. It's a very pretty, sparkly red. I don't have very many reds in my collection, so it was nice to add this one. :) Sorry there are so many pictures of this one. I went a little crazy with the camera. lol!



I used a ridge filler as the base coat and I also used a top coat. This is only two coats, and the application was great. :)

Enjoy.
Talk to ya'll later. :)

Lasting Lilac


Hey ya'll.
Quick post on my nails of the day. Well... sort of... I just took this off a few minutes ago. But, I do LOVE this color. I guess I just wanted to do my nails again! lol!
Anyway, this is an amazing color. I used three coats. But, let me tell you... this looked good at ONE coat. It just depends on how dark or light you want the color to be. Today, I wanted it darker... so I used three coats.
Application was great. The brush is super long and covers the nail just PERFECTLY. I wish every bottle of nail polish had the perfect brush to go along with it. This was just a dream to apply. Not to mention the stunning color. ;)

Enjoy.
Talk to ya'll later. :)

Camouflage


Hey ya'll. These were my nails of the day for Saturday. I was wanting a dark green. This is what I chose.
Rimmel~ Camouflage. Dark green with gold shimmer. Very fun color to wear... and a little distracting while driving!! O.O
But anyway, I used two coats. It was almost opaque with one. Great application, and this is done with a top coat. :)
Enjoy. Talk to ya'll later. :)

Random Colors


Hey ya'll. Just wanted to post some random pictures of nail polish. However, most of these pictures are of pink polish. There is one exception... but most of them are pink. Anyway, read on for more details on the polish. BTW~ Most of these I did up right by using a top coat. :)


Sally Hansen~ Tender Mulberry. This color was very easy to apply and I think the color will suit most everyone. Very pretty. Two coats. :)

Sally Hansen~ Beautiful Berry. This one looks more red in the pictures than it actually is. It's not as bright. But, it's another pretty one. 3 coats, easy application. :)

Sally Hansen~ Calming Cocoa. This is the exception to all the pink polish. lol. Obviously this one is more of a brown. Cocoa is the appropriate name. 3 coats, great application. :)

Nat Robbins~ Sea Shell. I've had this polish for quite a long time, and it still applies quite well. I used three coats. :)

Jessica~ Juicy. I love this color. One of my favorites. It's a bubble gum pink. And, it applies like a dream!! :) You can use two coats, but I used three. :)

Wet n' Wild~ Frosted Fuchsia. This is one you could almost do with one coat, but I used two just out of the force of habit. lol! It flashes blue in certain lighting. :)

Maybelline New York Express Finish~ Sunset Prisms. This is another one I've had for a while. Still applies great... but it's just a little runny. I used three coats. :)

N.Y.C. ~ 108A. This is one that doesn't have a name. But, I'm pretty sure that it's called "Polyester Pink" now. I got this one before they started getting names. It's a little old, and it's running VERY thick. That made it a little hard to apply. I used three coats. But there is still visible nail line... so four coats is almost necessary.

Maybelline~ Rhinestone Pink. This is one of the "Wet Shine Diamonds" polishes. My bottle is almost empty and it is running quite thick. I used two coats. But, I almost needed three.

Sally Hansen Salon~ Pardon My French. This is obviously used more for French Manicures. But, I like the look of it when it's just solid color. It was pretty hard to apply, but I used three coats. 

That's all I have for ya'll now. I'm almost running out of polishes to show ya'll. LOL. jk... I don't think I will EVER run out.
Talk to ya'll later. :)

Watermelon Rind


Hey ya'll.
I've been wearing this color for about two days now. Just purchased it at Sally's Beauty. It was on my list of wants, so I was very happy to buy it. :)

This is two fairly thick coats. It seemed to be perfect at two, but maybe three would have been good, too. No application problems. I love this color!! :)

Just wanted to let ya'll know that I have notified the winner of my giveaway via email. If I don't hear back from them soon, I will pick a new winner. There will be more giveaways in the future! Thank you to everyone who entered. :)

Talk to ya'll later. :)

Polishes You Haven't Seen

Hey ya'll. Just FYI... this is a picture heavy post. 
Just wanted to show ya'll some polishes you haven't seen. I have them organized by brand. Enjoy :)


Here's Sally Hansen~ Flash. It's a really pretty bright blue with a nice amount of shimmer in it. I used two coats here, no application problems. :)


Sally Hansen Hards As Nails Xtreme Wear~ Fuchsia Power. This is definitely my go to HOT pink. I absolutely love it, and I have used A LOT of it. I used two coats because it is quite pigmented. You could almost use one coat. No application issues other than my bottle is old so it's running a bit thick.




Sally Hansen Diamond Strength~ Platinum. This is a truly AWESOME color. It flashes green and pink in certain lighting. I wasn't really able to capture that on the camera, SO... ya'll will just have to go get it and try it out! I used three coats. I didn't apply it very well, but that had nothing to do with the polish.


Wet n' Wild~ Lavender Pearlescent. I, HONESTLY, don't understand that name. This just looks pink to me... with a frosted look. Anyway, two coats. No application problems.
Wet n' Wild~ Mauve Frost. This one just looks brown to me. Frosted brown anyway. I guess you can kind of see the mauve in there. Another two-coater. No application problems.

N.Y.C.~ Park Avenue. These are such good polishes. And, the bottle is quite easy to store. This is a slight lavender color. Another one with the frosted effect. I used three coats, no application problems.

N.Y.C.~ Bryant Park. I used two coats. The color is kind of like a light caramel.


Sinful Colors~ Irish Green. I got this close to St. Patrick's Day. Obviously a good color for that holiday. Kind of a jelly. It's a neon as well, and it can dry a bit matte. I used four coats. If you put glitter or something on top you can get away with three coats. No application issues with this one.
Cover Girl Nail Slicks~ Citrus Punch. Such an old color, but still applied very well. I've had this one FOREVER. But, I love this shade of orange. I used three coats.


Cover Girl Boundless Color~ Bronze Beauty. A really sparkly gold. Lovely application. Two coats.

Milani~ Pink Pop. A bubblegum pink but maybe a little darker. Two-three coats works great. Great application, as well.

Hot Topic. No name. I'm calling it Yellow-Orange. It's between those two colors. Horrible application. Never dries... always streaky. I did my best with the pics. You can see how streaky it is. And, it's matte... but I don't have a problem with that. :)

Petites~ Bronze Baby. Really a favorite of mine. I love those dark browns and mushroom type colors. This is super shiny, and so pretty on the nails!! :) Two-three coats for this one as well. Pretty good application. :)

Sally Girl~ Type A. Pink-purple shade. Almost opaque in one coat. I used two anyway. Dries matte!!! YAY!!!! :) Great application.

Sally Girl~ Dumped. Kind of don't understand the names on some of these Sally Girl polishes, but oh well. I guess this is what you would call a metallic turquoise. Two coats. Went on super smooth! Perfect!

Sally Girl~ Mean Streak. Not a fancy color, just a cool navy blue. Love it, and decided to keep my nails this color! :) Two coats works perfectly for this shade. Almost opaque in one coat. :) No application problems.

Hope ya'll enjoyed these!
Last day for the GIVEAWAY! See the sidebar. :)
