Brash Electric Sky

Good morning! I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! :-) Today, I have another polish from Brash to show you. Brash is found at Payless Shoe store for only $2.99 The one I have on today, is called Electric Sky. It's a medium sky blue with silver shimmer. Just like Sargent Khaki, application was absolutely wonderful. I did need two coats this time, but that's really no biggie. I hardly ever just use one, so that was very unusual for me. ;-) I'm very impressed with Brash polishes. I can't think of one thing I don't like about them. Electric Sky reminds me a lot of Butter London's Victoriana. Just a bit more bluer and maybe slightly darker. I'm going to have to do a comparison post on them. Can you imagine if you could get a dupe to Victoriana for only $2.99 instead of paying $14.00?! That would be pretty good! :-)











Thanks for looking, and I hope you have a great Sunday! :-)

Brash Sergeant Khaki....New polish line!

It's FINALLY Friday! I was starting to think it would never get here this week. ;-) Do you have any plans for the weekend? I'm not sure what I'm doing, but whatever it is, it will be inside! Last night, at 6:30pm it was still 105 degrees outside. Isn't that insane?! We are under yet another heat warning until, get this....next Wed! More craziness!! I'm really,really,REALLY ready for fall weather. This heat and I do NOT mix well. Blah.

Anyways, I have a new nail polish brand to tell you about. It's called by Brash Cosmetics, and it's only sold at Payless Shoe stores. This line is much better than the line of polish they carried last year. Brash polishes all have awesome sparkles to them! They either have glitter,shimmer or glass fleck. I only bought four out of maybe twelve of them. I will def. be going back for more. They are $2.99 each.

The one I have to show you today is called Sergeant Khaki. It's a mossy green with tons of silver shimmer. It's odd, but in some lights the shimmer looks gold, but it's really silver. This is pretty unique polish, and I don't believe I have any other like it. Speaking of fall, it would make a great fall color. Application on this was a dream! Absolutely perfect, AND only ONE coat! Yes, really! I have absolutely zero complaints about this polish. :-)









Have you seen, or hear of this brand yet? If so, what are your thoughts?

I hope you are having a wonderful Friday! :-)

A Jelly/Glitter Sandwich! OPI,Pure Ice and Ruby Kisses.

Good afternoon! Is it just me, or does it feel like Friday, today?! I've been thinking that all day today. I have an AWESOME mani. to show you today. I can't take credit for it though. ;-) I'm sure some of you remember MeganChair. She used to be a nail blogger, but decided to take a break. She does still post on Make up Alley, on the nail board, and last night she posted a mani. I just had to try myself. For this mani. I used two coats of Ruby Kisses navy blue jelly. It doesn't have a name on it, but it does have a number. It's RNP142 if that helps anyone. This is a great polish! It's a deep navy jelly,application is great, and it's only $1.49! After using it, I added one coat of OPI Last Friday Night,then one more coat of the Ruby Kisses. Finally I added one coat of Pure Ice Heart Breaker. HB is also an awesome polish, and it too is cheap at only $2.00. HB is best used as a layering polish. It is has a clear/turquoise base with tons of green shimmer, which makes the polish so great.

First up are the finished mani. pics. (be sure to click on them, so you can see the awesome green shimmer!) ;-)

Nicole by OPI Canadian Exclusive Coral Denominator

Happy pink Wed! ;-) My husband was back in Canada again last week. He brought home some more polishes for me! Coral Denominator is a Canada exclusive found at Shopper's Drug Mart. I in in love with this polish!! It's a med. coral pink with tons of gold shimmer. I know pink and coral are two different colors, however they are both there in this polish. Kinda mixed. ;-) I don't have anything like it. It kind of reminds me, of a pink version of OPI's It's My Year. Application was great, and I used three pretty thick coats.

Don't forget to click on the pics. for a much better look.....especially the first two. ;-)












Thanks for looking, and have a great day! :-)

New Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Teal-y Cool

Good morning! Today, I have on another one of the new Sally Hansen Xtreme Wears. This is one of the polishes being found at Walgreens only. I finally found them last night. I was starting to think they were everywhere, but KS! Walgreens seems to have three exclusives in this collection. The rest of the collection can also be found at Target, minus those three. Teal-y Cool is one of those three. It's a clear teal base with blue,teal, and a copper color glitter. It's best used as a layering polish. I used it over an older Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. The Real Teal, which is a gorgeous teal with shimmer.









Here are a couple of pis. of The Real Teal on it's own.





Thanks for looking, and have a great day! Hope you are staying cool! ;-)

I'm back!! ;-) NOTD Sally Hansen Very Cherry.

Hey guys! How is everyone??? It feels good to be back! I missed my blog buddies!:-) I was gone longer than I thought I would be, but I had a GREAT vacation. We went to Steamboat Springs, Co and it was so nice there. The weather was perfect, but it sure is hot back home, in KS. I mean it's HOT! When we got home it was 108 degrees. I wish I could have brought the awesome CO weather home with me. I picked up a lot of great polishes while I was away, and when I got home, I found more new collections here. One of them is he new Sally Hansen Xtreme Wears. I picked up most of them, and today, I have on Very Cherry. It's a great pinkish toned red with lots of silver shimmer. Application was pretty perfect, and I used two coats.









Have you seen this collection? I found it at Target, but I hear it's also showing up at Walgreen's with four extra colors. I haven't spotted them myself, but I'm going o check again today. Well, it's good to be back and thank you for sticking with me! :-)

Claire's Bedazzled & Revlon Mystical

Hey guys! This is going to be a quick post, as it's 11pm and I have to get up at 4am!! Ugh. I wanted to let you know I might be a bit scarce for the next week. I'm going on vacation, but I will try to pop in from time to time. :-)

For my mani. today, I used Claire's Bedazzled which is a GREAT multi colored glitter. It has small round glitter,med. sized round glitter, and hex glitter. I used three coats and it was pretty much opaque. I then added two coats of Revlon Mystical over top. Mystical is a sheer jelly, and it's a berry/plum color. It looks pretty cool over a glitter. :-)

Well, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I will see you in a few days. :-)

Love and Beauty Rose Petal Collection. Lots of Pics!

Happy, Happy Friday!!! :-) I need a nap! LOL! I'm sooo tired right now. I've been really busy trying to get things ready for our upcoming vacation, that I've worn myself out. Before I've even left....don't you just love that? We also having company coming over tonight.

Anyway, I have a great little collection to show you today. It's from Forever 21 and the bottles are shaped like little roses. The colors are really pretty too. All glitters, but one. Kinda odd, there's just one cream.

Here's a pic. of the collection.



I chose the black one to wear first. It's just called Black/Silver. That's how most of these are named. Not real original on the names, but the colors and cuteness of the bottles make up for that. ;-)

Black/Silver is a black jelly with lots of silver glitter. Application was great, and I used two coats.











Here are close up bottle pics. of the rest of the collection. I will be swatching them soon. :-)

























Do you see any you might be interested in? If so, you can get them at Forever 21 in store and online. They are $1.80 each so a great price. :-)
