Got Glitter

Classic example of seeing a polish so pretty it mesmerizes you into thinking you need two bottles of it. I promise you that I didn't realize I had two bottles of these, cause they actually look different. Here are a set of polishes by two different brands that share a similar formula... The one in the smaller bottle is made by Petites and its product name is "Pink Diamonds", the other is by Ulta store brand called "Tink-Her-Bell". Same pink shimmery glittery formula. Do you all believe me that I didn't know (LOL)... Who hasn't done this in the store "ooooh I like this color, I need it" as the memory that you already have it slips out of your ear :).... At the end of the day I have enough glitter to make Tinkerbell's wand jealous!!

In a family of Oranges

You ever ponder on the idea of how many polishes there are out there that look alike but not quite the same? I wanted to do a post on how a few of my orange polishes are similar but different. They all may look the same in the bottle but when you apply it to the nail it changes in appearance, have a look see!!

The colors shown in order are:
1. LA Girl Disco brites "Dance Craze
2. NYC Long Wearing "Times Square Tangerine Creme
3. Petites "Mango"
4. American Apparel "Sunset Blvd"
5. Julep "Sasha"

Take a look in your collection, you might find exactly what I'm talking about.

#GettinLacqueredUp 7.9.12

I meant to do one of my pick ups during the week, but better late than not!! The week b 4 last I tweeted about American Apparel (americanapparel.net) having a sale on their 3 and 7 pack polishes, I treated myself to one of them which you shall peep below. The price was $15 for 3 bottles, only thing is the colors are already in a set for purchase; you couldn’t mix n match your color however, they do have nice colors in the pre-picked sets. So the set I chose in order is Mount Royal/ Berries/Poppy. I have 2 other AA bottles and I love their formula. With $5 shipping it came up to $20 so that’s not bad for 3 bottles. They gave me a 15% off code after, so if you want it, hit me up!! The sale is still running btw!

My next pic is of bottles I picked up this weekend while at the Prime Outlets on Vineland in Orlando. For starters I didn’t know Banana Republic made nail polishes!! Their stash was pretty uniform (pink, yellow, grey, orange, green, navy). Mentally I did a quick scan of my polish stash at home and decided I didn’t have enough different shades of yellow (THINGS NAIL POLISH ADDICTS SAY) so I decided on the yellow and a tangerine orange. Can’t wait to try out their formula. I paid $8 total for the BR bottles. They also gave me a 15% off code for my next purchase, if anyone would like it please hit me up for it. The other two bottles are from Charlotte Russe outlet, they’re called LA Girl Metal “Chronium Green” and LA Girl Color Addict ”Emotion”. Lastly, the electric green polish is by Bebe.

Stayed tuned for swatches this week :)

Tulip Tips

I'm just loving my iPhone 4S it's so neat!! Browsing the social apps category and I stumble upon a DIY cute nail art app that contains pics, videos and tips for nails. I watched a Tulip video which was so easy to do and I decided to mimic it with a splash of my own colors. Came out good for my first try I'd say. Below I'll show u a screen shot of the app in case u want to view it also.

I pledge allegiance to the polish

Happy 4th of July everyone, please be safe out there.....

.......with liberty of manicures for all :)

Hologrrific

With so much ponder on what I'm going to do with my nails for the 4th, I decided no nail art, no accent nail no nothing but straight paint job. This brand I saw in the beauty supply store on display which had eye catching colors, I picked up two bottles of colors (swatch coming soon). This model is called "Hologram Maze". In person it looks more like a glossy purple but the pics show it up as a member of the red family. It looks like a very elegant color. This is two coats and I top coat by Color Club.
