Salon Perfect "Coming In Hot"

Hey everyone and happy sunny Monday!  Today's nail polish is Salon Perfect's "Coming In Hot" which is pretty fitting since the sun has decided to come join us after some snow over the weekend.  Salon Perfect is a drugstore brand sold at Walmart.  Here's how this polish looks in the bottle:

"Coming In Hot" is a silver polish that the bottle states is holographic.  I was very skeptical since this is a drugstore brand but surprisingly "Coming In Hot" was actually holographic on my nails!  The formula of this polish was thinner, but is allowed me to easily build up on my nails.  I applied four thin coats and the polish was completely opaque and had no visible streak marks.  Look at this holo shimmer up close:

Overall I am really happy with Salon Perfect's "Coming In Hot."  This nail polish was great and I love an affordable holographic polish!  I cannot wait to try this polish out in some nail art as it will be the perfect addition!

Salon Perfect "Gone Sailing"

Hey guys and happy Wednesday!  Today's nail polish is Salon Perfect's "Gone Sailing."  Salon Perfect is a brand I usually only see at Wal-Marts and it is very affordable.

"Gone Sailing" is a bright turquoise blue nail polish.  The formula of "Gone Sailing" was really great and it applied nicely to my nails.  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and streak free.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Gone Sailing" for four days before I noticed some very minor tip chips.  "Gone Sailing" also had one more surprise for me and that was it is actually a matte polish!  Here is how it looked with no top coat:

Overall I am super impressed with Salon Perfect's "Gone Sailing."  Everything about this nail polish is perfect and I cannot wait to rock it all Summer long as it will look great by the pool!

October Nail Art: Striped Mani

Hello all and happy Tuesday!  October continues which means more pink nails to honor Breast Cancer Awareness.  But today I thought I would create some simple striped nails with pink polish!

Here are the polishes I used to create this look:

Salon Perfect's "In Love", Essie's "Van D'Go" and Sephora by OPI's "Looks Like Rain, Dear."

To create these nails I first used two coats of Salon Perfect's "In Love" and my nails looked like this:

Next I applied the pastel pink stripe of Essie's "Van D'Go" and my nails looked like this:

Finally I finished off the nails with the thin gold glitter of Sephora by OPI's "Looks Like Rain, Dear."

Overall I really like how well this nail art turned out.  It looked really nice on my nails and was very fast and easy to do!  I can't to wear this nail art look again soon - and to try it out with some other colors as well!

Salon Perfect "In Love"

Hello everyone!  October is in full swing now and so is the annual pink nail polish to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  So without further ado, today's pink polish is Salon Perfect's "In Love."

"In Love" is a a fun hot pink nail polish.  The formula of this polish was really great and applied well.  After two coats, "In Love" was completely opaque and had no streak marks.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "In Love" for four days before I noticed any chips.

Overall I am pleased with Salon Perfect's "In Love."  Everything about this nail polish was nice and its affordable price makes it a big winner!  I will definitely be wearing "In Love" again and again.

Salon Perfect "Spirit Fingers"

Hello everyone and happy 4th of July!  (In case you aren't from the United States, 4th of July is our Independence Day when we finally became our own country and not a colony of the United Kingdom.)  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Salon Perfect's "Spirit Fingers."

"Spirit Fingers" is a chunky, star-shaped red, white and blue glitter in a clear base with micro-silver glitter.  It's gorgeous and very festive.  Formula wise "Spirit Fingers" was easy to apply and the star shaped glitter stuck well to the brush making it easy to get out of the bottle and on to my nails.  As with many glitters "Spirit Fingers" is meant to be a top coat and not worn alone so I decided to test it out over some colored polishes.

The first polish I decided to test out with "Spirit Fingers" was Sinful Colors "Sail La Vie."  This combination turned out nicely and are in the running to be the nail polish I wear for the 4th of July this year!

The second polish I decided to try out with "Spirit Fingers" was OPI's "Color So Hot It Berns."  This is another great combination for the 4th of July.  However it was a bit hard to see the red star glitters.

Overall Salon Perfect's "Spirit Fingers" is a really great nail polish.  Everything about it is fantastic from the name to its easy application.  I will definitely wear this nail polish again, especially for the 4th of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Salon Perfect "Ruby's Cube"

Hi guys!  Even though Mondays aren't always fun I decided to bring the fun with a glitter polish! So wihout any further ado, today's nail polish is Salon Perfect's "Ruby's Cube."

"Ruby's Cube" is a play on the word Rubix Cube and is of course a multi-colored square glitter nail polish.  The square glitter is fun and different.  (I have nothing else quite like it in my collection anyways.)  Formula wise I was very surprised how easy it was to get the square glitter on my nail!  However while the first coat laid flat the second coat created a lumpy effect from the clear base polish.  I would suggest wearing just a single coat of "Ruby's Cube" on top of a base color.  As always I decided to test out how "Ruby's Cube" would look on several different colored polishes.

First I decided to test out "Ruby's Cube" over a white nail polish.  So I picked out Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear's "White On."  This combination is quite fun and it reminded me of sprinkles on a birthday cake!

Second I tried out "Ruby's Cube" over a bright yellow polish.  I picked out Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear's "Mellow Yellow."  This combination reminded me of a piñata and was easily my least favorite out of all the combos I tried.

If you want to know more about "Mellow Yellow" check out my post from last Summer: http://perfectlypolished12.blogspot.com/2014/07/sally-hansen-xtreme-wear-mellow-yellow.html

The third nail polish I decided to try under "Ruby's Cube" was a deep blue nail polish.  So I picked out Nicole by OPI's "Live In The Momentum."  This combo sad does nothing for either nail polish.  You can clearly see "Ruby's Cube" but I'm not a fan of the color combo.

The fourth, and final, polish I decided to try with "Ruby's Cube" was a black nail polish.  This black polish was Sally Hansen's Hard As Nail's "Black Heart."  My favorite combo out of all the ones I tried "Black Heart" just makes "Ruby's Cube" pop so well!

Overall I am very pleased with Salon Perfect's "Ruby's Cube."  This polish is one of my favorites because of how easy it is to apply!  Also the variety of color makes it easy to pair with a large number of base polishes!  While this isn't an every day nail polish I will be wearing it again!

Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube"

Hi guys!  Happy May!  I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by!  Today's nail polish is Salon Perfect's "Sugar Cube."

"Sugar Cube" is a regular creme white nail polish.  The formula of "Sugar Cube" was decent, however slightly on the watery side.  After two coats of polish "Sugar Cube" was almost entirely opaque but did have some uneven spots and streak marks.  In terms of chipping "Sugar Cube" didn't last very long because the uneven coats of nail polish flaked off in chunks.

Overall Salon Perfect's "Sugar Cube" is okay.  The formula is a bit watery, and it wasn't completely opaque after two coats, and it chipped very quickly.  While I most likely not wear "Sugar Cube" alone it would probably work well as the base for a neon polish.
