Lo'real Blooming In Color Garden Bouquet

Hey everyone what's up? My week is just so blah I'm feeling a little under the weather but I have been taking some medicine with Echinacea in it so today I'm feeling much much better.

I have on my nails two new polishes from the Lo'real "Blooming In Color" collection, I spotted these in my Walgreens on Monday this collection consists of 6 creme polishes and 1 glitter flower polish, beautiful spring colors. 

The formula is workable, I found that the first coat is a little streaky but it redeems itself with the second and third coat.

The coral colored one is called "Sweet Nectar" & the flower glitter polish is called "Garden Bouquet". The brush pick up on the glitter polish works very well I picked up a lot on the first try.

Mineral Fusion- Coral Cove

Hi everyone, how was your weekend? My weekend was pretty much a big boring 2 days, but I was grateful not to be working.

The polish I'm wearing today is a polish I've been overlooking for a while at Ulta. So I finally gave in and gave it a try. This polish is called Mineral Fusion & they're $7.99, the formula is excellent as well as the drying time. This is 3 coats w/o a top coat.

Colorina Chika Sand Tetxture #08

HAPPY FRIDAY!! HOLA CHIKAS......

I have started off to a rushing day... household appliances leaking causing a flood in my kitchen & into my bedroom UGH... I initially called out from work but luckily because I had been up since 3:00am trying to maintain the water, my dad was able to come over and rescue us and I was able to make it into work on time (for 7:00).

So on my nails is a coral textured polish without a cool name but is known as #03 by Colorina Nail Lacquer. I've mentioned this company before in my random swatch post HERE.  This formula worked pretty well except for the drying time. At least 10 minutes had gone by and it still was damp to the touch. I do love the color and that it doesn't apply in clumps. When it does dry, it is rock solid and you don't have to worry about smudges. You can pick these up HERE for $1.99.

Have a great day!!

Corrupted Coral Flower Power

Hi all and Happy Friday, I am TOO THRILLED that it's Friday!! Although I have plans not to have any plans, you never know which way the wind might blow me to.

I have two polishes on my nails today. The Milani polish I'm wearing is from the new bottle shape & name found at your local CVS. This polish can seriously be a "one coater" IMHO. The formula was such a smooth apply; this color is "Corrupted Coral". 

Now for the glitter top coat effect, which is by Salon Perfect and I got it from Walmart for $3.98. I can't say that I own a lot of these polishes. I have to tell you all how much of a difficult apply this was for me, the glitter was not easily accessible for the brush. I actually had to do glitter placement for a few fingers out of frustration. I am actually not too thrilled about using the other 3 I picked up from this line, but I'll try to stay positive. This glitter polish is called "Flower Power".

I still love the glitter combo regardless. What are your plans for the weekend?

The Beauty Buffs: Coral

Hi everyone, how is your week going? My week has been going at a turtle's pace, but nonetheless it's going good. 

I hope you've remained excited about my Beauty Buffs posts as I am and guess what I've got another one for you all, this time we are celebrating the color coral. Coral can be considered a iffy color to so many polish brands, one minute it is a member of the orange family, red-orange then pink #whatchagonnadoeh!

So for my choice today I've chosen a neon coral polish from OPI's latest neon collection called "Little Bits of Neon", this is "Down to the Core-Al". I wanna say this in the nicest way...... I can't stand the white polish they've included in this collection; it seems to double in drying time. I got the mini pack from my nail supply because I was in a rush that day and I just grabbed it and left (I don't normally buy minis). I don't normally base my neon polishes with a white base, I figure if it's neon then it's neon right! However, I am excited about trying out the other colors, so be sure to come back to my blog to see them on a date with my nails.




Check out my other Beauty Buffs doing the coral thing right along with me:

Essie- Serial Shopper

Good morning polished pretties, how was your weekend? Probably thinking it was too short like I do. My Mother's Day was very relaxing and I even had dinner made for me so I'm good with that.

I did get a nice group of polishes for my Mother's Day gift so I'm even more good. On my nails is one polish from my gift which is from Essie "Too Taboo" 2014 collection. This color is a coral/peach color. I had a slight problem with the application, I found it to be a little thick & took more time than I liked to dry. This is 3 coats of Serial Shopper.

Matted Sprinkles

Good morning all and how was your Monday? My Monday wasn't bad at all, I can say I had a productive day.

On my nails today consists of 2 untried polishes (I am on the road to success with my untried stash). The coral colored polish which is on my index and middle finger is called "Instyle Coral", it is from Rimmel's "Festival Colour" 2014 collection sold at Walgreens for $1.69. This is really pretty in person and is opaque in 3 coats for me. I love to wear this color in the spring and summer, as matter of fact I like to break fashion rules; I wear any color for any season. This is 3 coats w/o a top coat.

The glitter polish on my other two fingers is a polish I got from Rue 21-- I swear every time I go there, some polishes manage to catch my eye and I have to have it. This line is called Candy Confetti and guess what.... it doesn't have a cool name (womp womp). I know many of you have seen this glitter mix made by many other brands, but I happen to like this mix; it's fun to me. For this polish I've applied 3 coats, the formula is average and friendly, it doesn't streak. 

Lastly, I've chosen to mattify this mani using OPI's Matte top coat. I was curious to see if I would like it and that I did. 
Which style do you prefer? Glossy or Matte for this look?

L.A Colors- Mad Duo

Hello people how are you all doing this Sunday? I am wearing something pretty on my nails today and I figured I should put them on the blog, why let it go to waste because it's the weekend; even though I don't normally post on the weekends!

On my nails I am wearing a pretty color combination that is so summer/spring. I have seen this polish many times during my trips to the store Dollar General, I never thought about trying them after I had a bad experience with the polish L.A.Colors before. I pretty much liked to stay away from their formula. 

With this polish I was quite surprised at how well the application/formula is. You have two choices with this polish and a lot of the creations that are for sale are pretty well matched together. This one I chose is a duo polish consisting of a coral color on one end with pink and gold iridescent glitters on the other end; it's called Mad Duo. 

The formula is very smooth, no signs of streaks and finishes opaque in just two coats. I did not apply a top coat for this mani. 

Enjoy what little bit you have left of the weekend everyone :).

Trop-X

Hi all and happy Friday Eve...

Today I'm wearing two untried polishes-- ONE TIME for ya girl using her untried stash....

By the way yes I made it back to Nubville, the glitter removal process for those glued on nails was for the birds; I still like to switch it up every now and then.

For my base color I am wearing a pink/coral colored polish by CND called "Tropix". For my glitter layover I am using Sephora Formula X's "Bombshell". Now I can't say that this mani does the Sephora polish justice, but with these type of glitter it's all about finding the right base color that won't take away all its glory.

Well that's why I own it, so I can try again!!

Itty, Bitty & Gritty

Hey all, sorry I haven't been posting but I am today, here's a mani I wore yesterday from China Glaze's textured collection. It is a pretty coral looking pink but the pic color makes it look a little, but trust me it's pink. Here's two coats..... The last pic is with a topcoat, the only way I'll wear it!

Day 25- Inspired by fashion

Hi all, today is a day in the challenge that I feel happy about doing, because it's something I am quite fond of-- Fashion! I love the fashion world and all that it entails.

I chose a handbag by Marc Jacobs that I've had my eye on, a potential "self gift" for my bday or X-mas present. This bag is the model style "Classic Q Lil Ukita flap" in Coral. I know it may not be a fall or winter color but I break the rules of fashion a lot!!

This polish I used by LA Girl is called "platforms", another untried bottle.....till now!

Happy Friday eve!'
