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 T is for Triangle Nail Art with Orly Space Cadet

Happy Wednesday! I can't believe we are already on letter T of the ABC Challenge! Since I love triangle nail art in all forms, I knew I would have to do triangles this week. :) I started off with a base of Orly Space Cadet. Wow! This polish is beautiful! I can't believe I haven't shown it on the blog yet.

Then I added triangles at the tips using Orly Stone Cold (blue) and then smaller triangles with Orly Out of This World (purple). I feel like these went really well tomorrow. This was so so sparkly and I just kept wanting to stare at my nails haha!

Essie Resort Collection 2013 Swatches+Comparions

Hi lovlies! I want to share one of my favorite collections so far this year (my other being Orly Hope and Freedom). This is a rather small collection but all four polishes pack a punch and are pretty unique. All of these had a great formula, although I've seen other people say otherwise. I do in general like Essie's formula of their polishes for the most part though. And I like the brush though a lot of people find it rather small. Enough with the rambling and onto the pretty polish!

First up is Essie Come Here! (yes, with the exclamation mark). This to me was a bright red leaning coral. I love corals so for me this was a winner. Two easy coats.

ABC Challenge P is for Pastel Polka Dots

Hi everyone! Today we are on letter P of the ABC Challenge! I did pastel polka dots with five different pastels. It was a very springy mani to say the least. I think that polka dots are a fun way to do nail art and they are super easy!

ABC Challenge- M is for Matte

I'm back! I know, I know I've been missing for ages. Finals took over my life and then I got super sick over spring break. We're talking bed for days. But I am back and I really missed you guys! I've finally started feeling better and work and school have slowed down a bit so nails are making their way back into my schedule (yay!) I know I missed a couple other ABC Challenge posts so I'll be adding them onto this post.

Anyway, onto the nails.....

For letter K I used Spoiled Kickin' the Habit, a neon fuschia. I was not a big fan of this at all. The brush absolutely sucked. It was more of just a big bushy thing rather than a brush. Also, depending on which way you turned the bottle it was a different color. And the color in the bottle was different than the color on the nail. I shook it up so much and I still felt like the pigment wouldn't mix up or something. Ugh.

Sinful Colors Paparazzi/ Almost Famous Collection Swatches

Hi guys! So its just now hitting me that this will be my first post with swatches of an entire collection. So please bear with me... if you see any room for improvement or have any tips/comments let me know! Hopefully this is helpful for you. I'll start by saying that all of these swatches are one coat of glitter over a base color. They were all very packed with glitter with no fishing or dabbing required! Truly a joy to apply and wear, I think these are great for a glitter newbie or someone who already loves glitter polishes! No more words, on to the pretties! Warning: this is really pic heavy...hope you enjoy!

Sinful Colors Showstopping over Pure Ice Superstar!

Showstopping is a mix of small pink glitter with a ton of holo hex glitter. Very pretty!

Dotticure with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Hi guys! Today I have some nail art I did a while back. I used a dotting tool for all of my dots (clearly I still need practice) This isn't as neat as I would have liked but I still wanted to post it on here anyway. Hope you guys like it!

Revlon Whimsical

Hi everyone! Hope you have all been having a lovely week so far! Today I have a polish that everyone was obsessing over at one point, Revlon Whimsical. This is a light blue sheer jelly with pink and blue hex glitter in it. I know a lot of people were disappointed by this, especially because its supposed to be a dupe for Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air, but it is more sheer. I find that if you layer it over a light blue polish you get the same effect with the added benefit of being able to layer it over any color you want! Look on the bright side people! :) 

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.

ABC Challenge! A is for Finger Paints Art of Theft

Hello ladies! Today I am starting my first challenge! I'm super excited to be participating :) For the ABC Challenge we are to pick a polish name or brand that starts with the letter we are on. I think that this will be a great way for me to go through some of my untrieds and show you all a ton of polishes! We will be posting every Wednesday, so keep an eye out for posts. All the links to the blogs of the other lovely ladies participating in this challenge will be at the bottom of this post :)

Art of Theft is a dark blue polish that had the prettiest pink shimmer in the bottle. In real life, it is slightly more purple...the last picture is the most color accurate

New Year's Eve Mani!

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! I don't know about you but I am ready for 2013 and a fresh start. Since I'm just staying in with family tonight, my mani is probably more tame than most New Year's Eve manis but I love it.

 Keep reading for more pics and info after the jump!

My First Nails Inc. Polish and Spazzing Camera

Have you ever bought a polish just because of the name? Once I heard that Nail's Inc. had a polish named Baker Street, it was immediately on my wishlist. Baker Street is not only the street on which my favorite literary character, Sherlock Holmes, lives, it is also a beautiful blue creme that I am in love with. For some reason it reminds me of winter so I added a lot of glitter which reminds me of snow and I have a wonderful winter mani. Enjoy!
