Zoya Saint"

Hello all and happy Monday!  I decided to brighten up the day with a bright and fun color!  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Zoya's "Saint" which always seems to remind me of Kim and Kanye's son.  Here's how pretty it is in the bottle:

"Saint" is a stunning royal blue with purple iridescent shimmer.  The formula of this nail polish was really nice ant it applied easily.  After two coats, "Saint" was not fully opaque - is I decided to add a third coat.  After the third coat the nail polish looked a lot better and there weren't any streak marks.  In terms of chipping I was able to wear "Saint" for four days before I noticed a few minor tip chips.  Look at this beauty:

Overall I am pleased with Zoya's "Saint."  I adore this color and it looks really good with my slightly tanned Summer skin!  This polish will be sticking around in my collection for a long time to come!

Live Love Polish "Last Call Confetti"

Hello guys and happy Sunday!  The sun has been hiding all weekend so here's some golden glitter to brighten the day.  Today's nail polish is Live Love Polish's "Last Call Confetti."  Here's how this glittery polish of goodness looks in the bottle:

"Last call Confetti" is a gold chunky glitter in a clear base.  A lot of the glitter has a holo color shift to it, which is stunning.  The formula of "Last Call Confetti" was good and applied without too much work.  Since this nail polish is meant to be worn on top of opaque colors I couldn't wait to test it out!

The first nail polish I tried "Last Call Confetti" with was  Color Club's"Bewitched."  This combination was stunning and I stared at my nails endlessly.  Here's how pretty it turned out:

The second nail polish I tried "Last Call Confetti" over was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Breezy Blue."  This combo reminded me of Cinderella, which is my favorite Disney princess.  Here's how the look turned out:

The third nail polish I tried with "Last Call Confetti" was China Glaze's "Peonies & Park Ave."  This combination was bright and very happy!

I am not always a fan of chunky glitter but "Last Call Confetti" is such a stunner I cannot help but fall in love with it!  I mean look how gorgeous it is up close:

Overall I am happy with Live Love Polish's "Last Call Confetti."  I love chunky gold glitters and this one did not disappoint!  "Last Call Confetti" will be sticking around in my collection for a long long time!

Color Club "Til The Record Stops"

Hello everyone and happy Saturday!  It is going to rain all weekend and I plan on relaxing with a book for most of the day.  Today's nail polish is Color Club's Til The Record Stops" which I picked up a my local Wal-Mart.  Here's how this pretty color looks in the bottle:

"Til The Record Stops" is a lovely pastel green creme.  The formula of this polish was watery but if I wiped the brush on the rim of the bottle it applied well t my nail - otherwise it flooded them.  After two coats, "Til The Record Stops" was streaky and not opaque so I applied a third coat.  The third coat of polish made it look better but it still wasn't fully opaque.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Til The Record Stops" for three days before I noticed some chips.  Look at this beauty up close:

Overall I am a bit disappointed by Color Club's "Til The Record Stops."  I adore this color but I wish that it was more opaque and less streaky.  Perhaps next time I will try four thinner coats to see if that works better.

The next step was to use OPI's "Your So Vain-illa" as the base of the donuts.  I used a brush tool from Maniology to create the design:

Then it was time to add strawberry and chocolate frosting to the donuts.  I used OPI's "Suzi Loves Cowboys" and OPI's "Lima Tell You About this Color!" for the frosting.  Then my nails looked like this:

Next up was to add the sprinkles using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Daisy Dukes," Chins Glaze's "Lime After Lime" and China Glaze's "Splash Splash."  The sprinkles added the final touch.  Here's how the donuts looked up close:

Essie "Night Owl"

Hey guys and happy almost Friday!  (Seriously this has been a looong week!)  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Essie's "Night Owl" which is a real stunner!  Look at its gorgeousness:

"Night Owl" is a beautiful turquoise blue with gold flakies mixed in.  The formula of this nail polish is fantastic and it applied wonderfully to my nails!  This is also the first time I have seen a wider brush in an Essie nail polish.  After two coats, "Night Owl" was completely opaque and streak free and in terms of chipping I was able to wear this polish for five days before I had a couple tip chips.  Look at the golden flakies:

Overall I am really happy with Essie's "Night Owl."  Everything about this nail polish is perfect and I cannot wait to wear it more often!  I think color will be perfect for Summer!

Lush Salted Coconut Hand Scrub

Hello all and happy Wednesday!  Today instead of nail polish I have some nail care in the form of Lush's Salted Coconut Hand Scrub.  I am always looking for items to help keep my hands silky smooth so I was thrilled to find this lovely on my last trip to Lush.  Here's what the package looks like:

This is a coconut hand scrub and it smells lovely.  It is quite textured like a sugar scrub as you can see with the jar open:

The directions said to apply a good amount to your wet hands, scrub and then rinse off.  The scrub felt really nice on my hands and now they feel silky smooth and my cuticles look refreshed.  Here is how it looked while I was scrubbing my hands clean of dead skin cells:

Overall I am really really happy with Lush's Salted Coconut Hand Scrub!  It smells heavenly and makes my hands look lovely.  This is going to be perfect this Winter when my skin stays dried out!

Stamped Cacti Nails

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday!  Today's nail polish is actually some stamped nail art! My Dad is currently in Arizona so I decided to pull from that and create some cacti nails.  First I needed to pick out my polishes:

Color Club "Meet Me At The Rink," Bundle Monster Color "Straight Up Black," Sephora by OPI "Leaf Him At The Altar," China Glaze "Lime After Lime," Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Thyme Is Money," OPI "How Does Your Zen Garden Grow?," Maniology "Seashell" and OPI "California Raspberry."

The next step was to paint my nails with two coats of Color Club's "Meet Me At The Rink" to create the sky behind the cacti.  My nails then looked like this before I added the Live Love Polish Precision Peel cuticle protector:

To create the cacti I used Bundle Monster's BM-S168 plate which looks like this:

The final step was to use Bundle Monster Color's "Straight Up Black" to pick up the cacti and then a dotting tool to dab the greens and pinks on to the design and then placed the design on my nail.  Look how the design turned out up close:

If you want to know more about Sephora by OPI's"Leaf Him At The Altar", China Glaze's "Lime After Lime", Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's "Thyme Is Money" or OPI's "California Raspberry" then check out a few of my previous posts.

Overall I love how this cute desert design turned out!  I am still not quite the master of stamping or reverse stamping but I am enjoying the process.  In the mean time I'll smile at my cacti nails for several days!
