Sun Worshiper: China Glaze

This week I went to Sally's to "just look" haha. But of course I ended up coming home with polish. I came home with "Sun Worshiper" from China Glaze. "Sun Worshiper" is an amazing orange polish. The color reminds me of a sea horse orange, now sure why, but it does. The polish is not very opaque, but I think it just needs two coat and it with be prefect.  "Sun Worshiper" is definitely one of my new favorites, the color is beautiful, it applies easy, the brush is great and I just really like this polish! I can't wait to use this polish in a full mani!

"In the Lime Light (Neon)" from China Glaze

Colors I Used:
Base Coat: "In the Lime Light (Neon)" from China Glaze, and "Shine of the Times" Essie Luxeffect
Accent Nails: Pink striper from Stripe Rite

I bought "In the Lime Light (Neon)" from Sally's, for about 4.00$ This polish is an nice vibrant bight green. I really liked the brightness of the polish. However, The polish also had a matte finish,I'm not a huge fan of matte polishes but that was easily fixed with a top coat. "In the Lime Light" was fairly opaque and the brush was great. I added a Essie Luxeffects as my top coat and some pink, just because I can't stand a plain mani haha. I loved the color and can't wait to use it again. Xoxo's Love and Nail Polish, Sierra

April Nail Hual

This month I ended up with seven new polishes!!! I think I have blogged about some of them in previews post. But I haven't had time to get my haul post wrote. However now I am finally getting around to it! You will notice that I forgot to take a separate picture for the Purple fine tip polish. It is a fine tip polish from Stripe Rite. I ended up getting it as a buy 2 get one free deal at sally's. I haven't had a chance to use the polish yet. But it is a pretty lilac color and will look for some summer manicures I have in mind.

"Sunset Sail" and "In the Lime Light (Neon)" from China Glaze:

"Sunset Sail" is a nude polish, with very little shine. The first nude polish I bought was from Pure Ice and is super shiny. So Sunset Sail is good for faces and designs using flat polishes.
"In The Lime Light (Neon)" is a bright green polish. It will be a great of some summer designs

"Portobello" from Nails Inc. This is by far one of my favorite polish, I have bought in a while. This was my first nails inc polish and I love it! "Portobello" is a bright, almost neon orange polish! I wore this polish on my toes for two to three week just because I liked it so much!! The only bad thing about this polish is that it is not very opaque. It took me about 3 coats to get the thickness I prefer. But besides that it is an amazing polish! I can't wait to try more polishes from this brand.

"Wild thing" from Pure Ice. is a VERY lime green polish. I have had this polish before. But I ran out about two months ago. So I just now got a replacement polish. This polish is pretty opaque. It only takes about two coats to get the coverage I like. It also chips very little, with one coat of top coat I can get by with wearing it for about 5 days. It also does great in nail design because it is so thick. I have used it in many designs in the past and can't wait to try some new one since I added it back to my collection.  

"Big City Dazzle" from NYC is a clear, fine glitter packed polish. The glitter is two tones of purple and blue glitter. It is a super pretty polish. However, you have to paint a polish under this one. Or add several coats of "Big City Dazzle" to get good coverage
"Park Ave" is a medium tone taupe polish. I usually don't buy many polish like this one but since I didn't have a taupe color I decided this one would make a good addition to my collection. 

That's all for this haul!

Nail Haul and Review: December (Satisfying My Addiction One Polish at a Time)

NEW NAIL POLISH!!! I am adding three more nail polishes to my always expanding nail polish box. Last week, I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and purchased "To-Teally Chic" from Finger paints, "Ruby Pumps" a mini from China Glaze and "Sugar Plum Yum" from Color Club.
I haven't had a chance to try "To-Teally Chic" yet, but it looks like it will be a great teal color. I found this polish in the sale box so I bought it for 1.99$



"Ruby Red Pump" From China Glaze, is a great red, glitter packed polish. Since it was a mini I paid around 1.50$ for the polish. I used it in a recent mani and it took about three coats to get the coverage I prefer. But over all I love this Polish!

"Sugar Plum Yum" From Color Club is probably my favorite. It is a glitter packed polish with green glitter, blue glitter and purple hexes. Plus it is a scented polish and smells amazing!  I was so happy when I found it at our Sally's. This is first time I had seen this brand at the store near me. I got this polish for around 5.00$. I can't wait to use in a full manicure!!

 

I was very pleased with the new polish I bought. I can't wait to try them all out. Hopefully I will get that posted soon. Now I just need to get more polish!!! haha

Ying Yang MANI!!!

Since I loved my ying-yang pedicure so much I decided to do the design on my nails. This mani took about two hours and lots of thinking about how to get the design right. I decided I didn't want to paint the ying-yang symbol on all my fingers so I decided to paint it just on my thump and ring finger. To get the design straight I used and pencil and a permit marker to draw the outline. Then I filled the online in with my black and white polish using a small tip paint brush. For polishes I use "Liquid Leather" from China Glaze and "White" from I Love My Nails. For the rest of my nails the design was very easy. I used the same colors but painted French tips. Then I used my dotting tool to paint the small designs on the tips and a fine tip brush to paint sliver line. For the silver polish I used "Silver" from LA colors. I debated on adding some glitter but I never got around to it. Over all this mani was semi easy, the hardest part was getting the ying-yang symbol correct. This is probably another one of my fave mani.


Until next time.

Dotted French Tips

For this manicure I wanted to do a cute but eye catching design. I already had the base coat painted, which was "Peppermint Chrome" from Boggi. I really liked this polish, it was a nice shiny chrome and last for about 5 days without chipping. For the tips I decided to use "Positive Energy" from Nicole by OPI and "Liquid Leather" from China Glaze. To do the design I used my dotting tool and rotated black and silver dots over my tips. This main took about two hours. But most of the time was waiting in between layering more dots. But overall it was very easy and I really liked the way it turned out.
