The Beauty Buffs: Radiant Orchid

Good morning everyone! Happy Hump Day to you all. I hope your week has been fun and free from stress so far (as easy as that might sound, it can happen). My week has been pretty mundane so I won't complain (Ha that rhymes--go me :). 

So today I present to you another edition from the girls and me over at The Beauty Buffs, this edition we are presented with the challenge of posting in regards to the color Radiant Orchid. It is a beautiful that people don't normally pay attention to and it's also Pantone's color of the year this year. I consider it to be a member the color purple's family.

For my choice, I chose to use an untried polish from Essie's 2013 Neon collection. This is "DJ Play That Song". This is 3 coats of it, in the first pic you'll see it dries with a matte finish which I have no problem with. In the second picture I added a top coat after I designed a few white and orchid polka dots. 

Have a wonderful day and please do a little sight seeing while checking out the other Radiant Orchid posts by the other beauty buffs :)).

OPI Limited Edition- 50 Is The New Fabulous

Hiya!! 

So you all remember eons ago when I confessed my love for pink on my blog right?! You don't?! Ok well I'll say it again, "I LOVE PINK"!! Phew that felt good!!

So skimming through Sally's Beauty Supply store flyer for May specials I Spy that OPI will be selling a two shade limited edition polishes to commemorate their 50th Anniversary.

Pink & Gold are the chosen shades and they do make for an elegant manicure together. I chose no to buy the gold glitter (yes there's a first or everything). They even went with the old label for the bottom of the bottle. 

This is 3 coats of "50 Is The New Fabulous". The gold glitter shade that is offered is called "Pop the Cork!".

Zoya Tickled Collection 2014

*Pic Heavy*

*Some Polishes have been applied in 3 coats (unless stated otherwise) without a top coat*

Good morning everyone! Just as I knew it yesterday, I woke up to a rainy morning; no worries though because I don't plan on being on the road.

Today I have a wonderful new collection to share with you, thanks to Zoya; this is a 6 color collection of creme polishes.

Roche- This is a red orange looking polishes. I found it to be a little thick in formula at first. After shaking it up once I was able to manage it for application a lot better. This is is 3 coats. 

Ling- This is a fun summer blue color that would probably pop even more under a white base. This is 3 coats.

Wendy- This is a coral pink color, I really liked the application for this one, it was easy and actually only needed 2 coats for opacity. 

Kirtridge- This is a baby pink color which is already bright in appearance. It's very creamy an doesn't have any streaks during application. I've had that problem with other colors this shade. This is 3 coats.

Rooney- This is another pink shade, more on the rosey side of the pink family. This shade was a breeze during application. This is only 2 coats.

Tilda- This green is not quite lime green, however over a white base I believe it would be a brighter shade. This is 3 coats.

Sherbet is such a sweetheart

HAPPY FRIDAY!! 

Idk this has just been a meh week for me in regards to my blogging vibes.... I'm glad this week is coming to an end. I plan on having a relaxing weekend. It's been raining everyday so if it does this weekend I'm going to enjoy it.

On my nails today is the another from Rimmel London's Sweetie Crush collection. This one is a lemony color called "Sherbert Sweetheart". This is is 3 coats of it. The formula is friendly, I'm just not a huge fan of these minis with the short brush.

Have a great weekend...

Key Lime Shine-Nanigans

Good morning everyone, how have you all been? I haven't made a blog post in two days and it feels like forever! I hope I didn't lose anyone, are ya still with me lol!

Today on my nails I'm wearing another polish from Bettina's Spring collection called "Keylime", it's a little darker than lime green in my opinion. This is two coats without a top coat. Bettina's polish is good for shining all on its own!

Speaking of shining, on my ring and pinky finger, I'm wearing a polish from China Glaze's Surprise collection, this one is called "Shine-Nanigans". This is a fun glitter polish that has lime green, purple and burgundy circle & octagon shaped glitter. 

I'm loving the fact that I've been using my OPI glitter off on all my glitter designs.

Jealous of a go glitter

Good morning, how do? 

How am I doing? I'm doing the necessary to make it to Friday :), we are one step closer!! Today on my nails I'm wearing a polish from Sally Hansen's Triple Shine Palm Beach Jellies collection. You can find these at CVS, Walgreens and I've seen them at Walmart for $4.57.

If you're into jelly polishes then these will win you over. I've been a creme girl for so long I decided to branch out. I've got on "Jell-ous?", it's very very thin. You will see below I've applied 3 coats and look how sheer it is!

The glitter I'm using is by China Glaze from their 2014 Surprise collection, this one is called "I'm a Go Glitter". I found this to be the perfect match for it with the jelly being a similar color to the burgundy glitter.

Have you tried any of these yet? If so, let me know which one & how you like them.
