Trendy Tuesday: Neon Green!!

Summer time just screams for Neon!!! Mint Neon is also something I have been loving. Instead of going out to find the perfect color that I wanted, I mixed my own. I used Sally Hansen "Sea Breeze" + Sinful Colors "Neon Melon" and Wet n wild "French White". I mixed them in a small water bottle cap until I got the desired color and painted my nails with it! easy peasy!

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.

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 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: Sally Hansen 230 Sweetie Pie

This is Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Nail polish in Sweetie Pie. I love the color, but the formula is very thick. It didn't dry very quickly either. There are still bald spots on my nails after 3 coats. I am a little disappointed with this color. I don't know if it's worth the trouble.

Haul: 5/5/12

Today I had some time to go shopping. I went to Walgreens first because I wanted to pick up some more Wet n' Wild polishes since they were $1. When I got there, there were no signs indicating that they were on sale. So I had to ask the nice lady at the counter, and she gladly priced checked for me. They were indeed $1(or was it $.99?). She then proceeded to tell me that the Sally Hansen Diamond Strength are a great deal this week. Since they were buy one get one 50% + 3 $1 coupons, they ended up being only $3.50 for 2! She even showed me a page in a magazine giving them rave reviews. I happily picked out two bottles that caught my eye.

Next I headed to Big Lots. They had 2 pack Revlon polishes for $2! I picked up 3 packs, so total of 6 polishes.

I have to admit, There are some colors I wouldn't have gotten if they did not come in a pack. like Hushed blush and Black with Envy. But I am totally in love with the pastel colors (left three). I would have gladly paid $2 each for them, so It's kind of a bonus =).

Group shot! =D

Water bottle swatch

I don't know if I'm the only one who does this. But I always like to swatch my new polishes right when I get home. I always have empty water bottles laying around my room. So it's becoming a habit of mine to swatch my polishes on them.

Hope you liked my haul. I can't wait to try them on my nails! Swatches will be posted soon, please come back and check them out.
