Blue Holo Goodness

Ok, so I've had these 2 colors that I've been needing to wear for a while now...Breezy Blue by Sally Hansen and L.A. Girl 3D Effects in Brilliant Blue.  I had no idea what I wanted to do, I just knew I had to use these two colors, so I decided to do a dotticure.  Easy and simple!  I love how it came out. 

The Breezy Blue is a frosty light blue (which I was oblivious to) because I don't usually do frosts and went on in two easy coats.  Brilliant Blue could have easily been a one coater , but I always do two. The dots on the Breezt Blue was done with my set of dotting tools.  Everything is topped off with a nice coat of Seche Vite.  Until next time....happy polishing!

Almost Tape Mani

Ok...so I first painted my nails with Essence @Holografics in Blue Ray.  I've had the polish for a while now, but just finally decided to wear it.  First things first, this is not a holographic polish, it's a very pretty blue purple duochrome.  The first coat went on a little streaky, but the second coat evened it out.  But...I just could not leave well enough alone and attempted an accent nail using tape.  Well, the tape didn't work for me so much, so I had to free hand it, but it did come out very nice if I must say so myself...lol! For the accent nails I used China Glaze Liquid Leather and Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in Instant Iris. Check it out:

Hello....did ya miss me?

I know I have been MIA, but I have had alot going on in my life over the last few months, with starting a new job and all the holidays. But I'm back now and hope the post regularly, not saying I haven't been polishing my nails, just haven't been posting. Today's NOTD is 3 coats of Zoya Dove with one coat of Sally Hansen Glass Slipper, I saw this on My Lucid Bubble and loved it

Hope you like this combo as much as I do!

Ready for the Red Carpet!

Today I have Sally Hansen's Red Carpet. It's a pretty ruby red jelly with red glitter....now I'm not your bright red kind of girl, but I absolutely love this red. There are only a few red polishes I like and this will definitely be added to the list. I got it from Wegman's(local grocery store...amazing)for $1.99! Can't beat the price. Application was great, minimal clean up and I used 3 coats. I know, I know, the pics aren't that great, still learning. Maybe I should use my camera instead of my phone, oh well. Here she is:

I think for the next couple of posts, I will be taking my queue from Live Life Radiant and featuring holographic polishes.  Since I was late to the party, I wasn't lucky enough to score some of the great China Glaze holos, so I will be featuring Milani 3D Holographic polishes.  Until next time happy polishing!

Dry Marble

Ok, so a few days ago, I was reading Enamel Girl's blog.  It's one of the blogs I follow regularly and came across an interesting way to do marbling. Normally all you see is water marbleing and it's quite messy.  I've been meaning to give it a try but just can't get past the messyness of it.  Apparently CND calls dry marbling the "butterfly effect", why, I don't know because it certainly doesn't look like one.  Anywho, I decided to give it a try since Enamel Girl gave great how to instructions. I used all Sally Hansen Insta-Dry colors in Lightening, Instant Iris, and Going Grape, then topped it off with Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat.  I think it came out awesome!!!. This will be my new go to nail art when I want something special

If you have some time, give this mani a try, I think you will love it, I sure did! Until next time happy polishing!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

I know these have been around for a while, but I finally decided to try them. They were 5.99 at my local grocery store. They are suppposed to last 10 days, but I doubt I will keep them on hat long because they are lifting at the base of my nail and snagging my hair...ouch!

I put a coat of SV to see how long it will last. Until next time happy polishing!
