Sally Hansen Triple Shine "Pink Coconut"

Hi everyone!  Happy end of June!  (We've made it halfway through another year!)  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen's Triple Shine in "Pink Coconut."

"Pink Coconut" is not surprisingly a hot pink nail polish.  Formula wise "Pink Coconut" was very easy to apply.  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and streak free.  As for chipping I was able to wear "Pink Coconut" for about four days before there were noticeable chips, which I was happy about!

Overall I am very pleased with Sally Hansen's Triple Shine's "Pink Coconut."  Everything about this polish is great from the color to its easy application!  I will definitely be wearing "Pink Coconut" again and again!

Anise "Sea Gem"

Hi everyone!  I can't believe that June is almost over (and Christmas is only six months away!)  But for now I'm going to keep enjoying the warm Summer weather and today's polish does just that! Without further ado today's nail polish is Anise's "Sea Gem."  Anise seems to be a smaller brand of nail polish consisting of maybe 20 or 30 colors.  I found the brand at my local DSW shoe store.

"Sea Gem" is a beautiful turquoise nail polish with a shimmer of green micro glitter mixed in.  It really looks like the sun gleaming off the ocean!  Formula wise "Sea Gem" is fantastic and very easy to apply!  After two coats of polish "Sea Gem" was completely opaque and had no visible streak marks.  As for chipping "Sea Gem" lasted about four days before I noticed any chipping.

Overall I am very pleased with Anise's "Sea Gem."  For such a small brand Anise's nail polish stands up to the bigger companies!  Everything about this polish is great from the formula and application to the color and how long it lasted before chipping.  I will definitely be buying more nail polishes from this brand!

Nicole by OPI "Live In The Momentum"

Hi everyone!  Today's nail polish is Nicole by OPI's "Live In The Momentum" which was a special nail polish that was only available as part of a promotion with Special K cereal.  (This means this nail polish may be harder to find!)

"Live In The Momentum" is a royal blue creme polish,  Formula wise "Live In The Momentum" was good and it was easy to apply.  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and there were no visible streak marks.  As for chipping "Live In The Momentum lasted about three days before there were noticeable tip chips.  Since this polish is such a deep blue I was worried about it staining my nails but I didn't notice any staining.

Overall I like Nicole by OPI's "Live In The Momentum."  Everything was was nice and there aren't any negatives about this polish and I will definitely wear it again!

China Glaze "Cons-ULTA My Manicurist"

Hi all!  We're halfway through the week so I hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend! Today's nail polish is a China Glaze exclusive for ULTA called "Cons-ULTA My Manicurist."

"Cons-ULTA My Manicurist" is a gorgeous sky blue creme.  Formula wise this polish was very watery and difficult to work with.  The brush either had too much nail polish and it went everywhere or the brush didn't have enough and there were terrible streak marks.  After two coats of "Cons-ULTA My Manicurist" there were still visible streak marks and it was definitely not completely opaque.  As for chipping I'm not sure how long "Cons-ULTA My Manicurist" would have lasted because it was so miserable to apply and looked terrible that I didn't wear this polish for long.

Overall I am very disappointed with China Glaze's "Cons-ULTA My Manicurist" because as a specialty polish for a store that sells only cosmetics I expected better.  The only thing I liked about this nail polish is its beautiful sky blue color.  I probably won't be wearing this polish again any time soon.

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!

Nails INC "Bermondsey Street"

Hi all!  Happy almost Father's Day!  (And also happy Saturday, since everyone loves the weekend!) Today's nail polish is Nails INC's "Bermondsey Street."

"Bermondsey Street" is a aquamarine creme polish that is part of their Latex Effect collection.  Formula wise "Bermondsey Street" was AWFUL!  I barely managed to get is on any of my nails!  You name the problem and this polish had it!  The brush either held no polish or way too much which meant that you either got very little nail polish with streak marks or polish all over your fingers.  In fact it frustrated me so much I wore it just long enough to photograph and could not get it off my nails fast enough!  Since the polish is supposed to be textured so I did not use a topcoat.

Overall I am very disappointed with Nails INC's "Bermondsey Street."  I wanted so much to love this nail polish because aquamarine is my favorite color, but the nail polish was so terrible I will not be wearing it ever again!

Formula X "Drawn To You"

Hi guys!  I hope everyone is staying cool in this insanely hot weather!  (It was 105 at my house yesterday!)  Today's nail polish is Formula X's "Drawn To You."  Formula X is Sephora's brand of nail polish.

"Drawn To You" is a fun green and gold glitter polish.  The gold glitter is micro-glitter while the green glitter is in a medium and large sizes.  Formula wise "Drawn To You" was super easy to apply and the glitter spread evenly without much effort!  After two coats of polish "Drawn To You" was completely opaque and there were no visible streak marks.  As for chipping I'm not sure how long "Drawn To You" would last because I wore this nail polish for a one day special occasion.  (Unfortunately my work likes a more "sophisticated" nail polish look so glitter is frowned upon.)

Overall I am a big fan of Formula X's "Drawn To You."  Everything about this nail polish is great from the formula to the fun color!  I definitely plan on wearing this nail polish again and I think it would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day!
