Gianna's Rockin Blue

Good morning everyone, I am still on vacation in New York and loving it, but I wanted to make a blog post of my nails from yesterday. We did a lot of walking I went to visit my best friend who I haven't seen in two years. It was such a good feeling to catch up and talk like we were in high school ha ha you know texting and face time can only do so much!!

On my nails today I am wearing a polish by Brucci cold "Gianna's Rockin Blue. The color seems more teal to me though. I picked this up from a Rite-aid store in the Bronx the other day for 3.99, they had a full huge rack of Bucci polishes I was a nail polish heaven.

She' Nail Polish

*Product was sent in exchange for honest review*

Hi everyone, just in case you need a little reminder.... approaching the platform is Friday.... For some of us, a 3 day weekend is in order, I for sure miss looking forward to Labor Day for the West Indian parade on Eastern Parkway in NYC, waving my Jamaican flag :).

So guess who has a new brand nail product to review, yes yours sincerely!! On my nails I'd like to share with you all a brand I have seen quite a few times on Marisa's blog (polish-obsession.com). I was happy to see when I was tagged by another friend to check out the company's post on IG, that they were looking for more bloggers to review the polish. The communication went quickly and next thing I know, I got 2 polishes in the mail and here I am blogging about it!!

I received 2 polish. The orange polish first up to the mic is a crelly (creme-jelly formula) polish. I like the formula because I don't own many of this type, I call this color highlighter oranges or Halloween orange. This is 2 coats without a topcoat, I give this formula a 9 only because it isn't good for water marbling. I do a lot of water marble designs and I like to find out which ones are the best for it, this one just doesn't spread in the water.

This is Maxi Dress 

This next polish is called Her Way and I had it my way... I LOVEEEE this formula. It is a smooth cream formula that applied without any signs of streaks and this is only 2 coats without a top coat. The drying time was 5 minutes and the finish is glossy. Did you all hear me when I said I love this one already?! Also this polish is capable of water marbling, it spreads quickly in water so 10 all the way!!

Now you can't have my two, but you can get two of your own from She' Nail Polish HERE. Also, to keep tabs on their upcoming sales and collections, follow these accounts:

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 25- Metallic

HUMP DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY *Camel voice*

Today is metallic nails for the challenge and it's probably my least favorite type of polish. I did manage to find one in my stash. This is an untried polish by Cherimoya called "Metallic Blue". I don't know if it's just me but this color shows no signs of blue, more green (in person) or silver if anything. At any rate, here's two coats of it.

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 19- Glitter

Hi all.... Today is Friday Eve (that's what I tell myself to make it thru the day) :). I've come online to share with you another fun filled day of nails but this time accompanied with glitter.

This glitter polish is called "splatter" made by the store Icing. It's quite like the Sally Hansen, Hard Candy & LA Girl splatter polishes recently released. Of course there's the uniform black & white polish but they've managed to come out with other nice colors too.

This one I picked up is a formula with a mixture of blue & white glitter. I'm also using Pure Ice's polish in gradient form called "Celestial".

30 Day Nail Challenge Day 18- Sugar Spun

Hi everyone, today I am using a polish brand that is new to me. A fellow IG polish addict (The Bronx Polish) made a post about loving this polish by the name of Glam Glam nail candy and implored all nail polish addicts to check them out. Once I learned that they're from the same part of The Bronx I am from, I knew I had to get my support on!! Upon following them on IG and then Facebook, I messaged the ladies behind the Glam Glam to get the goods on what the glam is all about…. Below is a little bio I received straight from Tekecha and Nosha……..

"Glam Glam Nail Candy consists of an array of vibrant, bright, long lasting, and trendy colors. Glam Glam Nail polish is safe and free of toxins such as Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate, Camphor, and formaldehyde. Glam Glam Nail Candy is a New York City based toxin free nail polish line that was created by long time best friends Tekecha and Nosha Vega. Getting our nails and feet done is just one of the many ways we get together and bond. On one of our spa dates we found ourselves conversing about our love of nail polish, all of the beautiful bright colors that debut each season and the idea of starting our very own line came up, and we went with it, and here we are today.  Our goal is to provide our customers with safe, beautiful, eye catching colors that are sure to get compliments.  We believe that all women have "glam" in them

and all women enjoy being pampered.  Manicures and pedicures are a major part of that pampering. Painting your nails and toes allows you to experiment with nail polish and its array of colors. It is also a way to express your personal style, mood, and personality. Most importantly, we want to be apart of making women look and feel good about themselves".

*You can purchase Glam Glam polish by contacting the ladies via their email glamglampolish@yahoo.com. You can view a collection of their polishes on their Facebook page. Also be sure to check them out on Instagram and Twitter (GlamGlamPolish). Polishes will run you $6+ shipping.

Today is also day 18 of my 30 day nail challenge which calls for Sugar Spun nails. I’ve tried this technique twice before and received lots of compliments on its results. I hope I’ve done the polish and technique much justice….  The colors I am wearing today Femininity (Pink) and Blue my mind. The formulas are a easy spread and showed no sign of streaking. This is 3 coats of Femininity, I normally like to wear 3 coats of any pink polish I’m wearing. The blue polish has a shimmer to it while possessing still a cream texture to it. It took a while for the blue polish to get tacky in order for me to do the drizzle effect, but I guess in other instance that’s a good thing. 

30 Day nail challenge day 5- Blue

Hi all and happy Friday eve... 

Today I'm using a untried polish by Essie and OPI. The Essie polish I only applied two coats for opacity and it's called "Avenue Maintain". 

The textured polish on my ring finger is OPI's Liquid Sand polish called "Get your number". 

Hope my nails are the only ones having the blues today :)

Did I tell u about the Lagoon Mist?

Hey ladies check out my current mani using two untried polishes. The base color I used is from Sak's. The formula is pretty friendly, it's a little thin but yet it only took two coats for opacity. The color is called Lagoon Mist.

 The blue glitter is a polish from H&M called "Did I tell you", & I must tell you that it applies so plentiful from the brush on to the nail; you don't have to kept brushing to apply the glitter. I'm pretty pleased with both formulas.

Have a great Friday eve......

A for Autism

Hi ladies, this is a quick post, I did this mani late in honor of my best friend Evelyn's son Ethan who has Autism. He'll be 10 and he's been a trooper with his condition. I used OPI "No time for the blues" and American Apparel's ughhh now I've forgotten the name, I'll edit it later.

I did puzzle dots... I wish they'd find the piece to puzzle for the cure of Autism.
