A Look at My Collection: Yellows

I'm sure y'all are tired of seeing nail wheels with colors from my collection, but that's all I've got for now! I really like the color on my nails right now and I don't want to change it. So today y'all are going to see my yellows! This one is not as picture heavy, because I only have seven yellows in my collection. Weird? I don't know. Yellows are such a pain. But anyway! Here they are.


1. Wet n Wild: Goldmine
2. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Mellow Yellow

3. OPI: Banana Bandanna
4. Sinful Colors: Unicorn

5. N.Y.C.: Taxi Yellow Creme
6. China Glaze: Lemon Fizz
7. China Glaze: Solar Power

So that's it! What are y'all's favorites? I really like China Gaze Lemon Fizz. My Mom actually just bought that for me a few days ago. It's such a pretty, creamy yellow. And there's not any shimmer or anything. Maybe this will be my favorite pastel yellow! I've been on a search for the perfect yellow for some time now. But I just get so mad at yellows. So we'll see!

Thanks for reading! :)

A Look at My Collection: Purples

Today I'm going to show y'all my collection of purples. I love wearing purple, especially in the fall. I'm glad I did this because now I know which purples I'm most definitely going to wear in the fall. :)



1. Brucci: Violet Rage
2. Sinful Colors: Purple Diamond

3. OPI: Parlez-vous OPI?
4. Sally Hansen: No Name

5. China Glaze: Avalanche
6. Orly: Charged Up

7. Borghese: Stellare Notte
8. E.L.F.: Royal Purple

9. 10: Signed, Sealed, & Delivered
10. Wet n Wild: Eggplant Frost

11. Chi: Behind Closed Doors
12. Nars: Tokaido Express

13. Sinful Colors: Daddy's Girl
14. N.Y.C.: Chinatown

15. OPI: Siberian Nights
16. OPI: Lincoln Park After Dark
17. OPI: Give Me Moor!

I know a lot of these look black, but I promise y'all they're purple! Also, Daddy's Girl (Sinful Colors- #13) looks blue, but it is purple. It doesn't photograph very well. And I'm calling Borghese-Stellare Notte purple because, to me, it is. It flashes a lot of different colors, but I mostly see purple. What are y'all's favorites? I'm loving Chi Behind Closed Doors and Nars Tokaido Express. I think I'll get a lot of wear out of those this fall.

Thanks for reading! :)

A Look at My Collection: Reds

Today I wanted to show y'all my collection of reds. I've said before that I don't have that many reds, and I find that weird because it's my favorite color. Right now I have 13 in my collection. Not even enough to fill up a whole nail wheel! But that's okay. I like the reds I have and I know I'm going to wear them a lot this fall. :)



1. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Red Carpet
2. Chi: He's Chi-ting On Me
3. Sinful Colors: Sugar Sugar

4. Savvy by Femme Couture: Shimmer Time
5. Borghese: Venetian Red
6. Wet n Wild: Burgundy Frost

7. Essie: Rock Star Skinny
8. NYC: 211 A
9. Ulta: Steppin Out

10. OPI: Chick Flick Cherry
11. Sally Hansen Salon: Hollywood Scarlet

12. Wet n Wild: Red Red
13. Wet n Wild: Crazed

So that's my collection! Like I said, red is my favorite color and I really like to wear it on my nails. But, I'm not a big fan of the staining that reds *always* leave behind. It feels like no matter what you do, or how careful you are... you will still get horrible stains. Do any of y'all have any tips or tricks for removing red polish? Do y'all like to wear red? What's your favorite color to wear on your nails?

Thanks for reading! :)

West Village


Hey ya'll. This is a color I wore a few weeks back and I absolutely LOVED it! :) Dark blues and purples are definitely my thing. :)

I used a base coat and a top coat. It took about three coats to get the finish you see in the pictures above. No application problems. :)

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. :)

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. :)
