Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lavender Envy

Hello! I have an awesome color to show you all today. This is an older Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, the color name is Lavender Envy. I'm not really sure how old this is, but I found it recently at Big Lots. First off this is definitely meant to be a layering polish, I was up to five coats and still had VNL when I gave up on seeing how many coats it takes to get this polish opaque.

Lavender Envy has a great formula, it is really easy to work with. However it is older and totally stinky, it made my eyes water!  I started this mani with two thick coats of OPI Rumple's Wiggin' a light purple from the Shrek collection. I then added one thin coat of Lavender Envy. I love, love, love the blue shimmer that is in Lavender Envy. It is gorgeous.

This picture shows how it looks in lower light situations. It looks like Rumple's Wiggin' with a little frost. Nice, but not amazing. 

Now for the amazing! These pictures show the blue shimmer that comes out when the light hits this mani. The pictures really don't do this color justice.

Then I decided that I should try Lavender Envy over black. I started with two coats of Essie Licorice, then topped it with a thin coat of Lavender Envy. When Lavender Envy is layered over black an even better blue shimmer appears!

I totally love this polish! If you don't already have it and you need it like I did, I would suggest finding it soon before its gone forever.

Nfu Oh 51

Hello!

This is one of my all time favorite polishes! I just love how it morphs into a rainbow, and I am always amazed by the look of flakies, so this is a dream polish for me. :)

I started this mani off with two coats of Milani Totally Cool. Totally Cool has the same rainbow morphing tendencies as Nfu Oh 51 in the bottle, but on the nail it just has the red orange shimmer. Totally Cool has a thin formula, and on the first coat it is super patchy, but once the second coat is on it is an awesome deep shimmering purple.

I added a single coat of Nfu Oh 51 over Milani Totally Cool. Nfu Oh 51 is amazing! The formula is great, and since I was layering I only needed one coat. Layering Nfu Oh 51 over Milani Totally Cool ads so much more dimension to the polish. I topped this mani with one coat of Seche Vite.

I added a bunch of pictures because this mani looks so different from every angle. This polish makes me drool!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink

Hello!

Today I wanted to show you a polish that is just as much of an amazing glitter bomb as the Nails Inc. polishes from yesterday but that is much cheaper and more accessible. So I bring you Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink!

Rockstar Pink is full of pink, blue and red small round glitter and gold micro glitter. The formula was great, two easy coats and it was fully opaque. I really am loving these glitter bombs! I used Seche Vite to really make this polish sparkle to it's fullest potential.

Where to buy: drugstores

Cost: $2.00- $4.00

Nails Inc. Bloomsbury Square & Connaught Square

Hello!

Yesterday when I was wandering aimlessly through Sephora I stumbled upon the new Nails Inc. display and literally screamed in delight. I have some Nails Inc. polishes on my wish list and have been waiting to need enough makeup to make an online order with Sephora, but now I don't have to because I got my two biggest lemmings from Nails Inc. in store!

I decided to get Connaught Square and Bloomsbury Square because I love glitter, I love multi-shaped glitter, I love multi-colored glitter and I love polishes that are glitter bombs! If you haven't caught on yet I am totally in love with GLITTER!!:)

I obviously had to swatch these right away because I am in love with them both! I started with Bloomsbury Square. The formula on this polish is amazing. It is so packed with glitter it only took two coats to be completely opaque. It is super easy to work with, slightly thick, but it works perfectly because you want your nails to be jam packed with glitter. I used Seche Vite as a top coat for these swatches.

Bloomsbury Square has micro circular purple glitter and larger circular pink glitter suspended in a hardly there clear base... it is seriously almost 100% glitter going onto your nails!

Next I swatched Connaught Square. The formula is the same as with Bloomsbury, simply put it is perfect! I used Seche Vite as a top coat for these swatches to really make Connaught Square shine!

Connaught Square has micro circular blue glitter and larger circular purple glitter suspended in the same hardly there clear base as Bloomsbury Square.

I definitely see more Nails Inc. polishes in my future! There are two more of these Special Effects 3D polishes and an entire line of cremes, shimmers, and regular glitters.

Where to buy: Sephora, Sephora.com

Cost: $9.50

Planet Beauty

Hello!

Just a quick post to let you all know about an awesome deal going on right now. So I went into Planet Beauty today and the staff had on pins advertising a free gift for liking the store on Facebook. I asked what the gift was and it is a free OPI polish with any purchase. All you have to do is show them where you liked the page on your phone and you get a free polish of your choice. I was super excited, its a savings of $8.50 on something all of us polish lovers are going to buy anyways! My store also had the new Touring America collection in stock so it was a win win :)

You might want to call ahead to make sure they are offering the promo at your local Planet Beauty, but my best guess is that they are because on Facebook Planet Beauty is one store, not listed per location.
