Orly ~ Bling

Hi all!! Did all my fellow New Englanders make it through blizzard Colbie ok? I live in Connecticut pretty close to Rhode Island and we got about 32 inches at my house!! Luckily, we did not lose power! My husband and I did what we love to do most. We vegged out and watched a ton of movies :) Tonight I have another Orly for you! This time I have Bling. Bling is a clear base polish full of square, micro, holographic, gold glitters. The name Bling says it all. This polish is super flashy!! I used 3 thin coats to make it solid. It would look great over any color but I just love it so much I wanted it on by itself. Formula was great. Super happy with Orly polishes as of late! New obsession?! I think so lol. You will see why in a second! let me know what you think of this in the comments!!

 

PolishTBH ~ Polar Express

Here is the second polish I grabbed from an instagram destash. Polar Express from PolishTBH. It is a dark denim blue polish with gold glitters that dries matte. I love this polish so much. I have been searching for a blue polish that looks like jeans. I don't know why but I just had to have one. I was so excited to see that I had finally found my perfect denim polish without even knowing it!! This polish applies like butter. It is so smooth!!! I took a macro shot of this and it looks textured but its not. I really am not sure what made it look like that. maybe the glitter? I took pics with it matte and shiny. I prefer it matte. just out of the bottle perfection. this is a retired polish but I happen to see Chrissy say that she would never turn down a custom order! ;) Good for me because I will need more of this. check out my pictures and leave a comment!!! :)

PolishTBH ~ Sugar Plum Fairy

This polish I picked up in a fellow ig'ers destash sale. Lauren had this and another PolishTBH polish from the holiday collection that I scooped up as fast as I could!!! When I received the package it also had 2 minis from Mod Lacquer!! How sweet was that?! I will get to the minis in another post but just to give you a preview, I LOVE the glitter topper!!!!! Anyways, this is Sugar Plum Fairy. Its a deep orange polish with tiny gold glitters. It actually wasn't exactly what I expected but I couldn't find many swatches to check it out. I thought it was going to be a little more pinkish. Either way, I really do like this a lot. Its a unique color and I love the finish when its dry. Without topcoat its not really shiny but not quite matte either. Somewhere in between. I also have pics with shiny topcoat and a matte top coat. I prefer this one shiny. The formula is one of the best I have tried!! I used four coats for these pictures. I would rather use thin layers and extra coats than thick layers and less coats. it just dries better and more uniform. So, here are my pics!! let me know what you think :)

This pis was with matte coat on the ring finger and shiny topcoat on the rest

Inspired by @rachell_rachell

Hi lovelies <3 I hope so far everyone is having a wonderful day!! I am in high spirits today and excited to show you my "inspired by" manicure!! On instagram I follow this super talented lady! her ig name is @rachell_rachell. Definitely go give her a follow!! Today she posted these awesome nails that I had to recreate. I will show you hers and then mine. They differ in color but are pretty much the same. For my nails i used 3 coats of Sephora by O.P.I  looks like rain, dear. I topped that with my Glisten & Glow HK girl fast drying and super shiny clear top coat.(A review of that will be coming soon). After that I used nail tape to place in a chevron design. The colors I used for the ombre effect are Rimmel French white tip, Sinful colors sweet tooth, China glaze spontaneous, China glaze coconut kiss, and China glaze VII. Maybe someday I will do videos and tutorials but until then feel free to ask questions in the comments!!! I topped my design with my G&G top coat and I just love it. I hope you all like it as much as I do!!! :)

Coated In Polish ~ Summer White

Hey everyone!! I have been pretty inconsistant lately but hopefully through the rest of the holidays i can keep up!! Today i have a few pics of Coated In Polish's Summer White. Its very sheer and can easily be layered over almost any color. Here i put 2 coats over 2 coats Zoya Purity.  Its has mini gold hexes and micro holo specks. Its so subtle and pretty. It asctually is perfect for winter as well!! Great formula as well. Went on like butter. Enjoy ladies :)

Nail Sauce ~ Salted Caramel

Hi everyone. I finally have some time to post :) just to catch you up my husband and i just moved on September 1st!! Which also happened to be my birthday!! So needless to say my bday wasnt exactly fun lol. Moving is hard work!! Tough on the hands. We still have some big things to move but as of now i jave yet to break a nail!! Yes i knocked on wood :) anyways tonight i have polish from the first ever indie brand i knew about. Salted caramel from Naill Sauce! This polish is a beautiful caramel nude with gold hexes and white glitters. I had a hard time getting good pics of this one. The application was really smooth and it dried in good time. Over all its not for me. I love everything about this polish, but i dont like the color against my skin tone. Since this was gifted to me i am just paying it forward to a very special friend :)  enjoy these pics :)
