Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Carnival"

Hi all!  I can't believe that May is almost over.  (This year seems to be flying by!)  However, now that Summer is in full swing I decided to pull out a chunky glitter nail polish to celebrate!  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Carnival."

"Carnival" is a multi-colored glitter in a clear base.  The glitter comes in yellow, orange, light blue. dark blue, tan, and black glitter.  Formula wise "Carnival" is horrible!  The clear base was thick and the glitter refused to stick on my nails.  As for chipping I have no idea how long this polish would have lasted because it looked so horrible on my nails.

Since "Carnival" has a clear base I decided to test it out over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Kiwi Bikini."  The combination turned out okay, but since "Carnival" hates being applied to my nail and didn't go on in an even coat the combination turned out worse than I would have liked.

Overall I am disappointed with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Carnival."  I love multi-colored glitters but everything else about this nail polish was terrible.  I probably won't be wearing this nail polish again any time soon.

China Glaze "Mind The Gap"

Hi guys!  Today's nail polish is an ode London, which is one of my favorite places in the world.  So without further ado today's nail polish is China Glaze's "Mind The Gap."  (London's tube system is great fun for me because there is nothing at all like it where I live in North Carolina.)

"Mind The Gap" is an interesting green-gold-ish micro-glittered polish.  Formula wise this polish has a slightly thick, but it was still easy enough to apply.  After two coats, "Mind The Gap" was completely opaque and streak free.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Mind The Gap" for about four days before there were some noticeable tip chips.

Overall I have mixed feelings about China Glaze's "Mind The Gap."  It was nice how long I was able to wear this polish but I'm not a huge fan of the color.  So while the nail polish is fair I probably won't wear this nail polish too often because I didn't care for the polish's color.

Formula X for Sephora "TNT"

Hi everyone!  We've made it to Friday again!  (Or Fri-YAY as I like to call it!)  Today's nail polish is Formula X for Sephora's "TNT." Formula X is a brand of nail polish made specially for Sephora stores.

"TNT" is a very fun chunky neon blue glitter in a clear base.  Formula wise, I was very surprised to discover how good this polish was and it went on very easily.  However like most glitters this polish was not to be opaque or worn alone so I decided to test it out over another polish.

The polish I decided to try out with "TNT" is butter LONDON's "Airy Fairy."  The combination turned out nicely because instead of emphasizing the glitter it created a textured look on my nail.  This is a combination that I will wear again!

If you want to know more about butter LONDON's "Airy Fairy" check out my post from earlier this year here.

Overall I am very pleased with Formula X's "TNT."  This nail polish is very nice and I will defintiely wear this nail polish again!

Sephora by OPI "Leotard Optional"

Hi guys!  Can you believe it is only seven months til Christmas?  Thankfully we have a lot of warm weather left before Santa and his reindeer get here!  So today's nail polish is a nice nude from the retired Sephora by OPI collection, and that nail polish is called "Leotard Optional."

"Leotard Optional" is a nice taupe colored nail polish.  Formula wise this nail polish was fantastic and very easy to apply.  After two coats of polish "Leotard Optional" was completely opaque and streak free.  In fact this polish was so wonderful that it could be worn as a one-coater!  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Leotard Optional" for about six days before there were a few minor tip chips.

Overall I am very pleased with Sephora by OPI's "Leotard Optional."  Everything about this nail polish is lovely and I will be wearing it again soon!

"Garden Variety" is a gorgeous turquoise colored polish.. Formula wise this nail polish was good and very easy to apply.  After two coats, "Garden Variety" was completely opaque and streak free.  In fact this nail polish went on so well that it can almost be worn as a one-coater!  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Garden Variety" for about four days before there were some noticeable chips.  Surprisingly even though this nail polish is a dark color it did not stain my nails, which is great!

OPI "My Holiday Shoes"

Hi guys!  Today's nail polish is OPI's "My Holiday Shoes" which is part of a Black Friday mini trio I got.  (Even though this polish is more of a Christmastime nail polish I just couldn't resist trying it out now!)  The trio is called Be Bold, Be Dramatic and the set looks like this:

"My Holiday Shoes" is a gorgeous bright red nail polish.  Formula wise this nail polish is amazing and it was very easy to apply.  In fact it was so wonderful to apply that it was almost a one-coater! However I applied two coats just to be on the safe side.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "My Holiday Shoes" for about five days before there were a few minor tip chips.
