Sally Hansen Designer Collection Spring 2013- Butterscotch and Soy Latte

Good morning everyone! Today I am back with, yet again, more polishes from the Sally Hansen Designer Collection for Spring 2013. Be sure to check out Green Tea and Resurrection here as well as Dune and Angel Bite here.  These are the last 2 (for now) that I have. I have loved all the polishes from this collection so far and I'm loving these two as well!

Butterscotch is a bright, sunny yellow creme. The formula on this was FANTASTIC! 2 easy coats. Yellows are notoriously streaky and hard to work with, but I had zero problems with this. This is for sure my new go to yellow! Perfect for spring and summer. This is by designer Tracy Reese.

Sally Hansen Designer Collection Spring 2013- Dune and Angel Bite

Happy Memorial Day everyone!!

Today I'm back with more polishes from Sally Hansen's Designer Collection. What can I say, I'm really loving this collection. I reviewed Green Tea and Resurrection here so be sure to check those out as well!

First up is Angel Bite, a deep vampy red crelly. The formula on this was pretty good... a bit thin but not bad by any means. Totally opaque in two coats. I liked this a lot, surprisingly. Even though it is totally not springy, I think its great. It did look a bit brown in the shade, which I thought was kind of odd, but it never looked black and you could definitely tell it was red in the sun. Also, no staining! This one is by designer Prabal Gurung. For all you fashionistas, this was the shade used in her Spring 2013 fashion show for the blood drip manicures on all the models.

Sally Hansen Resurrection and Green Tea- Spring 2013 Designer Collection

Happy weekend, lovelies! Today I have two really pretty polishes to show you guys! One is a blue which totally surprises me, but I am totally in love.These are both LE polish from the Spring 2013 Designer Collection. Resurrection is by designer Prabal Gurung and Green Tea is by Tracy Reese. Sally Hansen does a designer collection every so often and I always love their polishes. Some of these are rereleases (pretty sure Green Tea is one of them). These two are both really beautiful, I may be going back for a couple others (Dune, Butterscotch, Angel Bite, and possibly White Out). There are also a few others in the collection called First Kiss, Soy Latte, Apparition, and Hot Lava for a total of 10 shades! There really is something for everyone. You can see bottle shots and display shots at Nouveau Cheap.

This beauty is Sally Hansen Resurrection  from the Complete Salon Manicure line. Totally opaque in one coat, but this is two out of habit. The formula on this was fantastic. One of the best I've used all year! Seriously though. If you like grayed out blues then you need this. You all know how I love my grays so this is perfect for me. I wore this with an accent of Sally Hansen Shoot the Moon which is part of their permanent line.

ABC Challenge R is for Rain Nails

Hi everyone! I'm happy I'm back. I took a week off to recover from my accident. It really gave me an opportunity to reflect (among other fun things...keep reading).Thank you all for your sweet words and comments! It was really touching to see them all :)

 Since we had a rainy day down here in SoCal yesterday, which is pretty strange for May, I decided to do some rain nail art! I'm not totally happy with how these turned out but I still want to share this with you all. :) I definitely need to work on my nail art skills.

Revlon Minted and Sally Hansen Copper Penny

Hi everyone! Just want to share a quick  mani that I wore last week. I was insanely bored so I just wanted something sparkly. I was also really in the mood for a pastel so this was perfect. 

Gradient with Sally Hansen White on and Wet n Wild On a Trip

Happy Monday! Sorry I have been so MIA lately...school has been absolutely insane and I've just been super busy but I am back! :)

Today I have my first gradient (that looks decent enough to post) to show you all! I wanted something easy, simple, and purple so I randomly decided to go with this. I think that my gradient technique needs some work but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

ABC Challenge- B is for Sally Hansen Blue It!

Hello everyone! So as you know I am participating in the ABC Challenge being hosted by the lovely Kimber from Kimber's Lacquer Korner. For this challenge we are to choose a nail polish brand, color, or type of nail art for the letter we are on that week. Today I have Sally Hansen Blue It, a lovely cobalt blue with silver shimmer.  Seriously beautiful. This is actually one of the very first polishes that started my love for nail polish so it holds a special place in my heart. I would wear it nearly every day in high school, and I still love wearing it.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Golden-I and Virtual Violet

Good morning lovelies! Today I have two beautiful polishes from Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear line to show you. This line of polishes is what started my nail polish hoarding collecting, so they are quite special to me. They usually have a pretty good formula, great variety of colors, and are very affordable, which I know you all love. I recently got these at CVS for 50% off  due to their beauty clearance sale, so you should all look for it!

First up is Golden-I, a yellow gold polish that gives a foil effect. Shown below is 3 coats. The formula on this was great! It applied really evenly, no streaking or anything like that. While it gives the effect of a foil, it is actually a bunch of really tiny gold particles (much like Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Celeb City which is Golden-I's silver sister). I really loved this and it will probably become by go to gold.

 More pictures after the jump!

Penguins!!! **Pic Heavy**

Happy Christmas Eve! Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season so far :) Sorry for my lack of posting these past couple days.... I have been really under the weather for the past couple of days. But to make up for it I have a nail art post today! I'm fairly new to nail art and I am just trying to get things figured out but I think this is pretty good for a newbie :).  I started off with 2 coats of Revlon Royal, a royal blue jelly that applied like a dream (there was still some VNL but not enough to bother me). Before I go on about penguins I have to say that I adore this so much. I have been looking for a royal blue for a long time and this one is amazing.

Revlon Emerald and Nail Art!

So today I have some Christmas nail art for you guys! I started off with a base of Revlon Top Speed Emerald.  I had originally just planned on swatching this but I liked it so much I decided to wear it and do some nail art. I then put Sally Hansen Cherry Red on my thumb.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Commander in Chic

Hi ladies!  Today I have one of the pre-reformulation CSM polishes to show you. I bought a bunch of them for under $2 at Walgreens. Its no secret, I adore gray nail polishes. I have about a million of them and they are all pretty and unique in their own way. This is a brown leaning gray that I simply adore.
