Beautifully Disney "Who Are You?"


Hey all and happy Wednesday!  Todays' nail polish is Beautifully Disney's "Who Are You?" which was part of a set called Curiouser and Curiouser and it represents the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland.  Here's how the shimmer looked in the bottle:


"Who Are You?" is a really pretty green shimmer.  In the bottle it looked darker but on my nail it lighted up to be a gorgeous lime green!  The formula of "Who Are You?" was nice and applied quite nicely.  After two coats, the nail polish was  not fully opaque and you could see straight through to the nail bed in several places.  I added a third coat and it made a noticeable difference.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Who Are You?" for three days before there was a fair amount of tip wear.


Overall I do like Beautifully Disney's "Who Are You?" - the color is gorgeous and perfect for Summer.  However that being said this nail polish is quite old and the bottle nearly empty after a couple of uses so likely "Who Are You?" won't be in my collection by the end of 2019.

Hello all and happy Tuesday!  Today's nail polish is Bundle Monster Color's "Dear Violet."  Bundle Monster has now changed its name to Maniology but they still sell really fun stamping nail polishes and stamping plates!  Here's how "Dear Violet" looked in the bottle:


"Dear Violet" is a gorgeous violet colored polish with silver and lavender shimmer in it.  The formula of this nail polish is wonderful and it applied wonderfully.  After only a single coat "Dear Violet" was entirely opaque and streak free.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Dear Violet" for five days before there were a couple of tip chips.  Look at this shimmer up close:

Live Love Polish Precision Peel


Hi guys and happy Sunday!  Today's nail polish is actually a nail art tool - a cuticle protector!  I decided to test out Live Love Polish's Precision Peel.  It came in a cute little bottle that was very easy to hold:


The Precision Peel is bubblegum pink when first applies and dries nearly clear on my skin.  I works really well and peeled off easily.  The application brush was just the right size so it didn't flood my cuticles but allowed me to precisely apply it.  Here's how the brush looks:


Overall I am loving Live Love Polish's Precision Peel.  I have used it several times now and have never had any problems.  Also the bottle hasn't dried out or gotten low even after a couple months worth of nail art attempts!

Lush Volcano Foot Mask


Hello guys and happy Saturday!  Today's post is all about beauty and foot care!  I popped by Lush a few weeks ago and spotted this foot mask that can soften and deodorize my feet - so I couldn't resist a try!  Here's how the pot looks:


The mask itself is a grayish color and smells like peppermint:


Before using the volcano foot mask I snapped a before shot of my poor dancer feet:


Then I applied a this layer to the bottom of my feet and then wrapped them in plastic for 10 - 15 minutes.  (I used gallon ziplock bags since they can be rinsed off and reused again and again).


After wearing the mask I washed my feet off in my usual evening shower.  After one use my feet looked like this:


My feet did look every so slightly softer but there was a long way to go!  (There is only so much one product can do after 18 years of dancing and 12 years of gymnastics!)  So I decided to try the foot mask every night for a week to see if there would be a more noticeable change in softness.  My feet did feel softer but it couldn't quite solve my heels.  However the mask's scent was very clean and I did notice improvement in how my feet smelled.  After a week's worth of masks my feet looked like this:


Overall I am very pleased with Lush's Volcano Foot Mask.  My feet were softer and smelled amazing.  I think adding this in with my other foot care items will help me have prettier feet in the long run!  It is also such a nice quick self-care treat!

OPI "You're A Pisa Work"


Hey everyone and welcome to the weekend!  Now if only it would stop raining here in North Carolina long enough to see the sun!  Today's nail polish is OPI's "You're A Pisa Work" which looks like this in the bottle:


"You're A Pisa Work" is a really pretty red pink creme.  The formula of this nail polish is perfect and applied really well.  After one a single coat "You're A Pisa Work" was fully opaque and streak free.  I did however, add a second coat for wear time and the photos.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "You're A Pisa Work" for five full days before I noticed any chips.  Look at this beauty up close:


Overall I am happy with OPI's "You're A Pisa Work."  Everything about this nail polish is lovely and I plan on wearing "You're A Pisa Work" all Spring and Summer long!

Ciaté "Hoopla"


Hi everyone and happy hump day!  I am so glad we are inching towards the weekend again!  Today's nail polish is Ciaté's "Hoopla" which is such a nice Springtime color!  I originally got this nail polish in Ciaté's annual advent calendar from 2013.  Here's how "Hoopla" looked in the bottle:


"Hoopla" is a really pretty pastel coral.  The formula of this nail polish was nice and it applied well to my nails.  After two coats, "Hoopla" was not opaque and had several streak marks.  To make the polish look nicer I added a third coat, which made quite a difference however there were still streak marks.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Hoopla" for three days before I noticed some tip chips.  Up close you can see this pretty coral in all its gorgeousness:


Overall I like Ciaté's "Hoopla" because the color is pretty but I am not necessarily a fan of having to apply three coats each time I wear it.  More than likely "Hoopla" will not stay in my collection as I have several polishes that are a similar color.
