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.

ABC Challenge I is for Igniting Love

Hi lovelies! Hope you are all having a wonderful day so far! Today me and all the other wonderful ladies participating in the ABC Challenge are back with the letter I (I can't even believe we're already this far!) :) :)  Today I have China Glaze Igniting Love which is a beautiful red crelly from the Cirque du Soleil collection that came out earlier this year. I'm not usually one for reds but to me this was wonderful. Its red enough to be considered a red but it has some orange and pink tones to make it less harsh. Right up my alley.

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!

Essie Skirting the Issue

Happy Monday! I don't know about you  but I am not ready for the week to start! Hopefully some pretty nails will brighten up your morning.

So for this mani I started out with 3 coats of Essie Skirting the Issue from the Stylenomics collection from last fall. I really love this deep red jelly and was just planning on doing a nice, toned down mani for once.

Shiny! That's my camera's reflection on my nails.

Zoya Blaze

My Ulta FINALLY got the Zoya Ornate collection and I wanted to show you all one of my favorites. Blaze is a berry/ red scattered holo, that is just wonderful. I seriously love it.

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.

Orly Shimmering Mauve

Happy Monday! Today I have a great polish that transitions well from fall into winter and the holidays. Orly Shimmering Mauve really isn't mauve at all (at least to me). Its more of a shimmery red. This polish has that "glows from within" feel to it. It is nearly a foil finish and has very few brushstrokes. If you are careful this can be a one coater. 

Color Club Haul from Ross

Hi polish addicts! I don't really have many places near me to get Color Club polishes so I try to find them at stores like Ross. I recently found a collection of 6 polishes plus top coat in a package labeled "All About Color Collection". When I searched for info about it, I couldn't find much that pertained to the set I found. All the colors were different than the ones that others have posted about. Unfortunately all but one did not have names so I searched around the Internet to try to find names for these. I also found an unnamed Cosmetic Arts polish which I have heard are just renamed dupes of Color Club polishes.
