Claire's "Electric Avenue"

Hello all and happy Saturday!  Today's nail polish is Claire's "Electric Avenue."  Claire's is a kid's jewelry and make-up store that is located in malls in the United States (not sure if they are anywhere else) and it is usually inexpensive.

"Electric Avenue" is a unique looking polish, a turquoise crelly with black and silver chunky glitter mixed in.  Formula wise "Electric Avenue" was pretty good and the glitter spread easily on my nails. After two coats the polish was not even close to opaque but there were not streak marks.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for only one day because it did not look that great on my nails.

Overall I have mixed feelings about Claire's "Electric Avenue."  It is a unique looking polish that applied well but it wasn't opaque, didn't look that good on my nails and it wasn't a long wearing polish.  I'd have to think long and hard before wearing this nail polish again.

Bundle Monster Color "Poli-Peel"

Hey all!  Sorry to have been M.I.A. for a few days but I had a bad week that ended in a trip to Urgent Care after I was attacked by a neighbor's cat.  I took a couple days to recover and I am feeling a lot better!  Today's post is Bundle Monster Color's "Poli-Peel" which is actually not a nail polish at all!  Instead it is a latex-free skin protector.

You can use "Poli-Peel" when you do nail art to make the clean up easier!  You paint it around the edge of your nails, it dries quickly and then you are ready to stamp or freehand.  Here are a few times I have used "Poli-Peel."

This was my first attempt at stamping.  Check out my Egyptian Nails out.

Using "Poli-Peel" to create these Boho Nails.

Overall I am so pleased by Bundle Monster Color's "Poli-Peel."  This has been the most helpful product I have tried for cleaning up nails quickly.  I continue to use this product all the time and will be purchasing more!

Bundle Monster Plate XL213: Space Nails

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a nice Monday!  I realized I hadn't done any stamping designs in a while, so I decided to fix that!  Today's nail art is based on outer space.

To create this look I first needed to pull out my Bundle Monster stamping plate!  I selected BM-XL213 which as you can see offered me a variety of images to choose from!  Next I deeded to select nail polishes.  I selected these polishes:

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails "Ice Queen", OPI's "Give Me Space" and Bundle Monster Colors "So Metal"

After all the supplies were out I painted my nails with two coats of OPI's "Give Me Space" as the base.  I followed that up with a single coat of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails "Ice Queen."  After that I stamped at random the micro stars/Milky Way designs onto my nails using Bundle Monster Color's "So Metal."

If you want to know more about OPI's "Give Me Space" or Sally Hansen Hard As Nails "Ice Queen" check out my posts from earlier this year!

Overall I really like how this nail art turned out!  While it is not as pretty as many of the other space manis I have seen it was still fun to wear!

Sephora Formula X "Alchemy"

Hey guys and happy Saturday!  It is officially Autumn now so I broke out the perfect polish to ring in the season!  Today's nail polish is Sephora Formula X's "Alchemy."   Formula X is a brand that used to be sold at Sephora stores but was retired over a year ago.

"Alchemy" is  a copper colored polish with lots of micro glitter that reflects well in the light.  The formula of this polish was perfect and it applied with ease.  After two coats, "Alchemy" was completely opaque and had no visible streak marks. As for chipping, I was able to wear this nail polish for three days before it began to chip off.

Overall I really like Sephora Formula X's "Alchemy."  The color is gorgeous and looked extra awesome out in the sunshine!  I can't wait to wear "Alchemy" again - perhaps for Thanksgiving!

Nicole by OPI "Challenge Red-y"

Hi everyone and happy almost Friday!  (So ready for the weekend!)  Today's nail polish is Nicole by OPI's "Challenge Red-y."  This polish was part of a limited edition special release by collecting box tops tops off of Special K cereals.

"Challenge Red-y" is a bright dark apple red colored polish.  Formula wise this nail polish was great and applied well on my nails.  After two coats, "Challenge Red-y" was completely opaque and had no visible streaks.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Challenge Red-y" for four days before I noticed some small tip chips.

Overall I really like Nicole by OPI's "Challenge Red-y."  Everything about this nail polish is fantastic and I can't wait to wear it again soon!

Orly Color Blast "Star Tours"

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!  Today's nail polish is Orly Color Blast's "Star Tours." This nail polish came as part of a set called Hollywood Duo which looks like this:

"Star Tours" is a deep teal colored polish.  Formula wise "Star Tours" was good and very easy to apply.  After two coats the polish was entirely opaque and streak free.  As for chipping, I was able to wear "Star Tours" for five days before I noticed any chips.  Unfortunately when I removed the polish it had stained my nails horribly!

Overall I have mixed feels about Orly Color Blast's "Star Tours."  The color and formula are nice and it looked nice on my nails.  But my nails looked so terrible after the polish that I am not sure I am willing to give this polish another go.

Color Club "Over The Moon"

Hello all!  I hope everyone has survived Monday!  Today's nail polish is Color Club's "Over The Moon" which is a nail polish I purchased on the Live. Love. Polish. website earlier this year.

"Over The Moon" is a stunning blue and silver holo!  (It's more holo than I have every seen before on my nails!)  The formula of this nail polish was fantastic and extremely easy to apply.  After only one coat of polish, "Over The Moon" was completely opaque and streak free.  However I added a second coat for the photos.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Over The Moon" for a full week before I noticed any chips, which is awesome!

Overall I am in love with Color Club's "Over The Moon."  Everything about this nail polish is perfect and I cannot wait to wear it again and again!  I also want to order some more Color Club polishes on Live. Love. Polish.
