Meet: Sally Hansen Purple Pizzazz

Purple Pizzazz is a purple glitter jelly polish. In the pictures, it looks more translucent than real life. It is a little hard to photograph this color but I think the second picture is pretty close to what the naked eye sees. The glitters in the polish is very fine which I really liked, and it wasn't hard to remove either which is a big plus in my book. I do really like the jelly effect, but I think it only shows up in pictures when using at least 2 coats of polish. This is a great layering polish as well, I want to try layering over white and see what kind of effect it gives sometimes.

Trendy Tuesday: Coral and Mint

This is the first Trendy Tuesday post. Each week I will dedicate a post on whats on trend right now, and what inspires me. This week I wanted to tackle the trend coral and Mint. I love them separately on my nails but I love them even more together. I thought these two colors worked so well together, and I am very happy with the result.

Coral and Mint

For the Coral color, I couldn't find anything in my stash that really stood out, so I mixed my using Sally Hansen "All the White Stuff", Rimmel "Sunset Orange" and Revlon "Alluring Amber". I used about 5 parts white, 2 part Sunset Orange, and 2 part Alluring Amber.

I am definitely in love with this combination, I had so much fun coming up with ideas for Trendy Tuesday, can't wait to do next week's post!

Meet: Sally Hansen Going Green

I bought this color because I thought it was so unique, and I didn't have anything like it in my collection. I didn't necessarily like it when I saw it, but I did remember seeing a girl with green polish like this and it was so pretty on her. I'm not sure if I feel the same way about this polish on me. It feels a little weird having bright green nails.

Meet: Tip Toe Ballerina

This is the IT color for me when I don't know what to wear. It's a pretty baby pink. I got this polish at Old Navy, and I thought the name was so fitting. This is the only Top Toe polish that I own. The formula was a little on the thin side, but it is very smooth. I didn't mind putting on 4 coats of this stuff to get the coverage that I wanted.

I used Color Club Covered in Diamonds on the accent nail. I love this flakie! It's chucky and super pretty. Too bad I forgot to take a bottle pic, but I'm sure I will use it again soon!

Meet: Zoya Creamy

Not sure how much I like yellow nail polishes, but wanted to use something I don't normally use. The formula on the polish was good, but wanted to do 3 coats to get rid of all bold spots since I am using yellow.

Meet: Color Club Beyond The Mistletoe

I recently purchased a set of Color Club halo glitter set, and decided to try this blue one first. I don't usually like glitters, but something about this one made me want to do a full mani with it. I doubt that I will use the other glitters as a full mani, but I love to do accent nails and nail art with them. The halo effect is gorgeous!

Meet: Revlon Tropical Temptation

This is the kind of color that I love to buy. A pretty coral with a little tiny hint of pink. I absolutely love this color. I have several similar color to this that I tend to wear a lot, so I would safely say this is my go to color.

Nail Art: Revlon Golden Charm and Sally Hansen Sea Breeze

Here I am with my Revlon polishes again! I have been wanting a gold metallic or glitter polish for a while. I had finally found a perfect one from Big Lots, I immediately picked it up. This polish is a gold metallic, and it is exactly what I was looking for. I paired it with a teal color from Sally Hansen Insta-dry. I absolutely love the formula on both of these polishes, especially from the Insta-Dry. It is a one coater, so pigmented and smooth. I should really pick up some more colors from this line, as I only have one other blue color and it applies like a dream as well.

Since my nails got longer and I love how the gold and teal look together, I decided to put them together for a cute manicure. This was very easy, all I did was apply the gold as normal, and after it dries, carefully apply the teal polish on top. no need to use fancy tape or anything, just go very slowly and follow your natural cuticle line.

Meet: Revlon Lilac Pastelle

I am in love with this color! the formula for this was surprisingly good. I used 3 coats for good measure. Its a little more pink than I expected, but I am loving it.

Today is my graduation ceremony! I can't believe I'm done with school forever. I picked up 5 polishes for a little graduation present for 5 of my good friends that helped me through school. I tried to get colors with their personality in mind. So these are the colors that I picked up. Aren't they pretty all lined up like that?

Meet: Revlon Temptress and Sally Hansen Glass Slipper

Revlon Temptress is a standard baby pink. It has tiny simmers in the polish that I am not crazy about. The formula for this color was not great, but I have always had bad experiences with colors like this, so I wasn't surprised. I tried to spice this up a little by topping it with one coat of Glass Slipper, which is a clear polish with white shimmery flakies. What do you think?

Meet: Ulta Mint Condition

I picked this up at Ulta for free the other day with my level 1 reward point.  This color just jumped out at me. I don't believe I have anything similar to this, so I am very happy with it. The formula for this polish is pretty good. It went on my nails very smoothly.

Meet: Sinful Colors 24/7

Sinful Colors 24/7 is a perfect bright neon pink. This is such a great color for the summer. It also looks great on your toes!

24/7 swatch

The trick with any neon color is to use a white base. Any opaque white polish will do, I used two coats of Wet n' Wild "French White Creme" and two coats of 24/7.

I added Milani PC Girl on the tip to make it even more fun! I think silver and neon pink goes so well together. Next time I will probably use some silver glitters on top. I think it will look awesome!

Nail Art: Glitter Leopard

After I painted my nails Using my old "Estee Lauder - Raffia" last night, I carelessly got sheet marks on it. Not wanting to redo my nails, I decided to do a leopard print to cover them.
