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. :)
Talk to ya'll later.
These Petites polishes are surprisingly good! This is my fourth bottle and I love it! I used three coats and it went on great. It's pretty pigmented, so two coats would probably work if your coats are thick enough. I put on a top coat to make it a little brighter. I think this looks similar to Tangerine Dream, but it's definitely more of a neon, much brighter.
After leaving Sally's, I was going through all these places in my head. Where can I go for more polish? One bottle just wasn't quite cutting it for me today. My next stop was Walgreens. I got Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Barricuda. I saw this lovely color on Kellie's blog! After seeing it I knew I had to have it, and $7.99 wasn't gonna stop me. :)
Next was Rite-Aid. They have so many different displays of polishes. And even some brands that I didn't recognize, like a color changing thing? But what they did have was the Revlon "Just Tinted" polishes. No other store had those on display. I just got one - Victorian. I love the formula! I know I'm gonna get good use out of it. I also got a little Petites polish - Mango. I needed a bright orange. The bottle picture I have for this one isn't really color-accurate. It's a lot brighter and looks more orange than red. I love it! I found an Orly the other day that was similar to this orange, but I never got it. $1.99 is a better price anyway. :)
And my last stop was Target. I still have lots of gift cards so that's what I used for these two new Sally Hansen Insta Dri's - Sonic Bloom and Fuchsia Flare. I like my other Insta Dri's, so I thought this was a good addition. I tried them out and they are super pigmented- yay! :)
Swatching/Testing/Painting/etc. starts tomorrow! What do y'all want to see?! I'm really excited to try out all my haul polishes. :)
