Wet N' Wild "Hallucinate"

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!  I am so glad this week is halfway over!  I can't believe it has been a week since Thanksgiving tomorrow! So without further ado, today's nail polish is Wet N' Wild's "Hallucinate."

"Hallucinate" is a gorgeous shimmer that sparkles in the light!  Formula wise this nail polish was great and extremely easy to apply.  As with many glitters it is meant to be worn as a top coat of other polishes, so I decided to test a few out!

The first polish I decided to test out with "Hallucinate" with was Nicole by OPI's "Turned Up Turquoise."  This combination was great and looked like the ocean, which is perfect for Summer!

The second polish I decided to try out with "Hallucinate" was OPI's "Center Of The You-niverse."  This combination was pretty and sparkly however not as noticeable as I would have liked.

The third polish I decided to try out with "Hallucinate" over Beautifully Disney's "Far East Embers."  This combination was a lot of fun and perfect for Summer.

If you want to know more about Nicole by OPI's "Poised For Turquoise", OPI's "Center Of The You-niverse" or Beautifully Disney's "Far East Embers".

Overall I am very happy with Wet N' Wild's "Hallucinate."  This is a fun shimmery top coat that I enjoyed wearing.  I can't wait to try this shimmer out with some more of my polishes!

A England "Lady Of The Lake"

Hi all and happy Monday.  I hope everyone survived the first day back at work and school after Thanksgiving.  (I for one didn't want to get out of bed!)  Today's nail polish is A England's "Lady Of The Lake."  This polish is one of the first ones I ordered from the wonderful website - Live Love Polish.

"Lady Of The Lake" is deep purple with silver shimmer.  Formula wise, "Lady Of The Lake" was perfect and applied so well to my nails.  After one coat the polish was entirely opaque and streak free.  However I applied a second coat for the picture above.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Lady Of The Lake" for six full days before i noticed a few small tip chips.

Overall I am really pleased with A England's "Lady Of The Lake."  Just like with every other A England nail polish I have tried, I am always impressed by the quality.  I will definitely wear this polish until the bottle runs out and I will continue to buy A England polishes!

I used "Lady Of The Lake" in some Smooshy Nails so be sure to check that out too!

Ciaté "Prima Ballerina"

Hello guys!  I hope everyone in the United States had a nice Black Friday, whether you went shopping or stayed home and relaxed.  Today's nail polish is actually not a nail polish but glitter! Gorgeous hot pink to be exact!  So without further ado today's glitter is Ciaté's "Prima Ballerina." This glitter came as part of Ciaté's annual Advent calendar from 2014 called The Mini Mani Manor which looks like this:

"Prima Ballerina" is hot pink loose glitter that I decided to try out over OPI's "Malaga Wine."  "Prima Ballerina" applied quit well and stuck to the wet polish really well.  This combination was fun and different, though the pink and burgundy may have clashed a little.  Here's how it turned out:

If you want to know more about OPI's "Malaga Wine" check out my post from earlier this week!

Overall Ciaté's "Prima Ballerina" is pretty and fun.  However that being said I am not a loose glitter kind of person - a trait which I get from my Mom, the anti-glitter queen.  I am not sure if I would wear this loose glitter again or not.

OPI "Malaga Wine"

Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving if you live in the United States!  Today's nail polish is OPI's "Malaga Wine."  Despite OPI being easily available in the United States I actually grabbed this one while on vacation in Paris, France in the Summer of 2015.

"Malaga Wine" is a stunning wine colored polish.  The formula of this polish was the tiniest bit watery but extremely easy to apply.  After only one coat, "Malaga Wine" was entirely opaque and streak free.  However I applied a second coat for the picture.  As for chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for a full six days before I noticed some small tip chips.

Overall I am really happy with OPI's "Malaga Wine."  The color is stunning and perfect for Autumn and I find this color looks fantastic with my skin tone.  I will definitely be wearing this nail polish until the bottle runs out!

Sinful Colors "YOLO Yellow"

Hi guys and happy Tuesday!  This week is nice and short for me - tomorrow is my Friday!  Who else is looking forward to a long weekend of pie and shopping?  Today's nail polish is Sinful Colors "YOLO Yellow."

"YOLO Yellow" is a happy sunshiny yellow colored polish.  Formula wise this nail polish was slightly watery but still easy to apply.  After two coats, "YOLO Yellow" was completely opaque and only had one or two streak marks.  As for chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for four days before I noticed any chips.

Overall I really like Sinful Colors "YOLO Yellow."  The fun happy bright color of this nail polish makes it enjoyable to wear.  I can hardly wait to wear this nail polish again!

Beautifully Disney "Off To The Ball"

 

Hello all!  It is Sunday and freezing outside, but the sky is nice and clear - although I am still ready for Summer again!  Today's nail polish is Beautifully Disney's "Off To The Ball" which is based off of Cinderella.  This nail polish came as part of a set called Wickedly Beautiful that looks like this:

"Off To The Ball" is a lovely light blue colored polish, just like Cinderella's ball gown.  Formula wise this polish was fair - not thick or watery.  After two coats, "Off To The Ball" was not entirely opaque and there were a lot of streak marks.  As for chipping, I was able to wear this polish for two days before it began to flake off at the tips.

Overall I have mixed feelings about Beautifully Disney's "Off To The Ball."  The color is lovely but it didn't wear well on the nail.  I'm undecided if I would wear this nail polish again.

Smooshy Nail Art

Hello everyone!  It is finally Saturday so I thought I would break out the nail art (which I am not allowed to wear at work).  So today I have decided to try smooshy nails!  To create the smooshy nails I selected these polishes:

The nail polishes used to create this look are Essie's "Aim To Misbehave" and A England's "Lady Of The Lake."  These two polish unintentionally created a nice look for any East Carolina University fans.  To create a smooshy look I used my stamper and placed dots of both polishes like this:

Then I used the stamper to tap my nails until the nail had a look I liked.  I repeated this for all of my nails.  To help protect the skin around my nails I used Bundle Monster Color's "Poli Peel" which helped but I still need some work to go using it.

If you want to know more about Essie's "Aim To Misbehave" check out my post from earlier this year.

Overall this nail art was fun and simple.  I like how these two colors mixed and the smooshing was extremely easy to do!  I definitely plan on trying this out again soon!

Sally Hansen Triple Shine "Sea Through"

Hi guys and happy Friday!  I hope everyone is looking forward to Thanksgiving next week (if you live in the United States).  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen Triple Shine's "Sea Through" which is a buildable jelly.

"Sea Through" is a blueish jelly that you can build to have a lighter or darker color.  Formula wise this polish was good and easy to apply.  Here's how "Sea Through" looked after one coat:

As you can see the color is light/almost nonexistent.  To continue building I added a second coat of "Sea Through" and my nails looked like this:

Two coats of "Sea Through" was more noticeable but still not nearly opaque.  I added a third coat of "Sea Through" to make the color even more noticeable.

Overall Sally Hansen Triple Shine's "Sea Through" is a fun and unique polish.  While I will probably never wear this nail polish by itself I can see it being a lot of fun with some nail art.

If you want to see how "Sea Through" compares to Sally Hansen Triple Shine's "Ice Tint" check out my Dupe Post from earlier this year.

Essie "Aim To Misbehave"

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!  We are halfway through the week and on a downhill slide to the weekend!  Today's nail polish is Essie's "Aim To Misbehave" their 1,000th nail polish.

"Aim To Misbehave" is a bright golden yellow shimmer.  Formula wise this polish was watery and had a tendency to flood my cuticles.  However, after two coats, "Aim To Misbehave" was mostly opaque and had no visible streak marks.  As for chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for four days before I noticed an chips.

Overall I have mixed feelings about Essie's "Aim to misbehave."  I absolutely adore the color and its wear time however the watery formula took a lot of patience.  That being said, I am definitely going to give "Aim to Misbehave" a second chance because I don't have any other polishes like it in my collection!

Color Club "Chill Out"

Hi everyone!  I hope everyone survived Monday intact.  Today's nail polish is Color Club's "Chill Out" which is a color changing polish.  I'm pretty excited to try this polish out as it is my first time playing with heat sensitive polish!

"Chill Out" is a pastel mint color when hot and changes to a turquoise color when cold.  Formula wise this polish was the tiniest bit thick but it was still easy enough to apply without much annoyance.  After two coats, "Chill Out" was entirely opaque and had no visible streak mark.  "Chill Out" also surprisingly dried with a matte finish, which was quite fun!  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Chill Out" for three full days before the polish began to chip.

Here's how "Chill Out" looked when warm:

And here is how "Chill Out" looked after being run under cold water:

Overall I absolutely love this nail polish!  Both colors were gorgeous and it changed color dramatically.  I enjoyed playing with this polish for several days and I will definitely wear "Chill Out" again and again!

Sephora by OPI "It's Bouquet With Me"

Hi everyone and happy almost Friday!  Today's nail polish is Sephora by OPI's "It's Bouquet With Me."  This polish is part of a limited edition set that QVC put out several Christmases back.  The set looks like this:

"It's Bouquet With Me" is a. fun purple, pink and silver micro glitter.  The formula of this polish was perfect and applied with ease.  After two coats, "It's Bouquet With Me" was not opaque, but that is normal for a glitter polish.  As for chipping, I was able to wear this polish for two days before it began to flake off.  Since "It's Bouquet With Me" is a glitter in a clear base coat I decided to test it out over other polishes.

The first polish I decided to try with "It's Bouquet With Me" is Bundle Monster Color's "Bam! White."  This combination was simple and would be a great base for some nail art!

The next polish I tested out with "It's Bouquet With Me" is China Glaze's "Hey Doll."  This combination was fun and pretty!

Overall I am really happy with Sephora by OPI's "It's Bouquet With Me."  I absolutely love everything about this nail olish and can hardley wait to wear it again!

Dupe Post: Sally Hansen Triple Shine "Sea Through" vs. "Ice Tint"

Hi everyone and happy Sunday!  It finally feels cool enough to be Autumn and the leaves are changing color finally!  Today's nail polish is actually a comparison post between Sally Hansen Triple Shine's "Sea Through" and "Ice Tint."  Here's how they compared to each other in the bottles:

As you can see they are not quite identical to each other as "Sea Through" is greener than "Ice Tint."  Formula wise both polishes were easy to apply and very buildable.  For the image above I used three coats of both "Sea through" and "Ice Tint."

Overall I like both Sally Hansen Triple Shine's "Ice Tint" and "Sea Through."  These polishes are unique in my collection as they are true jellies.  I need to find some fun ways to use both of these nail polishes in nail art designs!

Bundle Monster Plate XL357: Festival Nails

Hello everyone and happy Friday!  Since the wear is unusually warm for November I decided to rock some festival nails!  I used Bundle Monster's Plate XL357 called Gypsy Soul:

To To begin with I used two coats of Beautifully Disney's "Far East Embers" and then topped it off with one coat of Wet N' Wild's "Hallucinate."  To stamp with the plate I used Bundle Monster Color's "Straight Up Black" and a clear jelly stamper.

From plain pink to shimmer!

To create the stamped look I used Bundle Monster Color's "Straight Up Black."

Bundle Monster Color "Bam! White"

Hello guys!  I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather.  Today's nail polish is Bundle Monster Color's "Bam! White."

"Bam! White" is a white stamping polish from the website Bundle Monster.  Formula wise this nail polish was slightly watery but it applied very well.  After two coats "Bam! White" was completely opaque but did have a few streak marks.  Since "Bam! White" is a stamping polish I decided to show off some stamping attempts.

The first polish I decided to test out under "Bam! White" was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Pacific Blue."  It picked up on the stamper and went on my nail so easily!

Next I tested "Bam! White" over Pop-arazzi's "Shell Me More" to create clouds.  The look came out so clear!  If you'd like to learn more about this nail art check out my Cloud Nails from August.
