365 polish for a year challenge: day 346-349

 Hello everyone! Oh man I have had a very busy weekend! We are almost a month away from the wedding! We have booked our Honeymoon to Vegas and then Puerto Rico!!! Two weeks of fun and sleeping in! Been making some finishing touches on plans, and we are just about ready to go! Also we are getting very close to the one year mark! Well enough chit chat, onto the polish!

 

 

Brand: NYC

Name: Traffic Jam Orange

coats: 2

pigment: a bright orange

price: $1.99

 

 This polish came out this year with the spring collection if I do recall. I'm not a big fan of orange (as you all should know) but this shade was really nice. Not overly bright, but not very muted. Smooth and beautiful coverage.

Brand:Pure Ice

Name: Bikini

coats: 3

pigment: a iced purple-blue

price: $1.97

 

 A polish with a purple undertone. But under the flash you can see that it is a blue toned polish.  Smooth coverage, but a bit on the thin side.

Brand: Sally Hansen

Name: Chartreuse Chase

coats: 3

pigment: a light metallic green

price: $1.00

 

oh, no wonder this Insta-dri polish was in a Dollar Tree, horrible coverage! The color is like a muted metallic green, and is very lack luster. A thin formula with a very weak pigment. Glad I didn't spend the usual $3-4 on a bottle, yuck this was a disappointing polish. 

 

Brand: Sinful Colors

Name: Nude

coats: 3

pigment: a skin tone polish

price: $1.99

I saw this color a few months back on one of my favorite blogs and had to go out and get it. A very beautiful nude color with a nice creamy finish and very lovely pigment. You really can't go wrong with SC polish, and this color is just beautiful.

365 polish for a year challenge: day 341-345

 Good evening everyone! Just got back from a free screening for the Hangover 3! I had a blast and enjoyed the movie a lot! Well I am keeping this simple and sweet, nothing new to share other than the movie!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brand:ELF

Name:Punk Purple

coats: 2

pigment: a deep plum purple

price: $10.00/ 14pc set

This deep and rich plum purple is so beautiful. A glossy and creamy finish with just two coats to apply.

 

 

Brand: Milani

Name: Tainted In Red

coats: 2

pigment: a red textured polish

price:free (prize)

 

Trying out this textured polish is really turning me off from the trend. If i didn't get this set for free, I don't think I would have picked it up. I don't know, I'm just not blown away with the application and thin polish with this color.

 

Brand:  Venique

Name: I'm A Sucker For Wedges

coats: 3

pigment: a neon pink

price:free (prize)

 Hello neon pink! With the flash it does wash out near my cuticles, indicating that I was very light handed in those areas. But the overall look is so bright and eye popping! I'm glad neons are coming back for the warmer weather, I love wearing them!

 

Brand: Fresh Paint

Name: Pistachio 

coats: 3

pigment: a pastel green

price:3/$5.00

I forgot I grabbed this polish a while ago. It's so simple and such a creamy green. I stopped at three, but I think it could have used one more. Other than the polish being a bit on the thin side I enjoyed the color very much!

 

 

Brand: Wet N' Wild

Name: Root Of All Evil

coats: 2

pigment: a deep metallic blue

price: $.99 (sale)

 

  I've had this polish since last Halloween when I grabbed the whole seasonal line of polish on sale. This polish had great coverage with two coats, and a wonderful metallic shine.

365 polish for a year challenge: day 336-340

Good evening everyone! Making a very quick and sweet post before I rush off to the movie theater to go see the new Star Trek movie!

 

Brand: Pure Ice

Name: Free Spirit

coats: 3

pigment: a medium green with white shimmer

price: $1.98

 

So I forgot to take a photo of the green polish by itself (oops) But you can see it fine with Black Tie Optional over it. This is a beautiful and creamy green with a delightful white shimmer in it. I wanted to add a little more spunk to this mani, and well this combo just looks adorable.

 

Brand: NYC

Name: Raindrop

coats: 3

pigment: a pastel blue

price: $1.97

 

A polish from their 2013 Spring collection. Beautiful pastel blue with a smooth finish. Forgive the photo, I did not clean up my edges before taking it. I left this look plain and simple because the color was so beautiful on a bright sunny day ^_^

 

Brand: Dollarnailart.com

Name:  Candlelight

coats: n/a

pigment: metallic gold stripe nail foil

price: $1.00

 

How could I forget how fun nail foils are?!?!? I saw this look in a magazine (I forget what one) and well I had to go for it myself. This dazzling gold stripe foil is beautiful on it's own! But I wanted to see how it looked with a glossy black polish over it.

Here is the finished look with the shimmering foil with the glossy polish over the foil. I love this half moon mani! I need to do this look with more foils! Took a steady hand, but it was totally worth it.

 

 

Brand:Pure Ice

Name: Kissy Kiss

coats: 3

pigment: a pastel periwinkle

price: $1.98

 This is such an adorable color! It is on the line of pastel and light purple. I got full coverage with 3 coats. As always Pure Ice delivers a beautiful polish again.

 Brand: Barielle

Name:  Central Park

coats: 3

pigment: a medium teal

price: $7.99/ 5pc set

A beautiful medium teal that looks very green in this photo. I almost want to call it a green.

To bring it alive I did an ombre with a bright green at the tips. This color combo worked out very well.

Brand: Sinful Colors

Name: Innocent

coats: 3

pigment: a light yet still bright green

price: $1.99

 What can I say, green is my favorite color. I went for this SC green that I've had hanging around for a while. It was much brighter than I thought it would be, and I like it!

Brand: Color Club

Name: N/A

coats: 3

A delightful and creamy lavender polish with a smooth and glossy finish. 

Brand:Petites Color Fever

Name: Creame Blue

This color was more gray in person without the flash. But still the color is very beautiful either way.

Brand:Barielle

Name: The Pink Of Fashion

coats: 3

pigment: a medium creamy pink

price: $7.99/ 5pc set

A pepto pink! Yes, I called it that! This color looks like it belongs in a bottle in my medicine cabinet.  It has a beautiful and creamy finish and went on with 3 coats.

365 polish for a year challenge: day 325-329

Hello everyone! Woah, what a work week it has been. So I am splitting my missed updates into two updates of four each. I have been doing my nails everyday, just lacking time to update the blog. My new coworkers are amazed with all my designs! Makes me happy to share my nail art with others. I have tried some beautiful colors on this week, so let's get to it!

 

 

Brand: Wet N' Wild

Name: Steel The Spotlight

coats: 2

pigment: a simple silver polish

price: $1.99 (clearance)

 Here we have a simple and beautiful metallic silver. Went on with only two coats and dried very quickly. I found this polish on clearance a few months back, I couldn't pass it up.

 

 

Brand: Barielle

Name: Mint Ice Cream

coats:3

pigment: a very light pistachio green

price: $7.99/5pc set

I adore this color. It's such a light and creamy green. It almost looks like a glow in the dark green, but sadly this polish does not glow in the dark. I'm a fan of any shade of green, and this polish has slipped into my all time top five favorite shades.  Great pigment, creamy and just plain beautiful!

 

Brand: NYC

Name: Leather And Mink

coats:2 

pigment: a metallic chocolate brown with shimmer undertone

price: $1.99

 This polish looks like I dipped my nails in chocolate. This is a beautiful metallic brown with a beautiful shimmer undertone. I'm not the biggest fan of brown polishes, but this one was a little different. I like that it had the metallic look with the shimmer, just beautiful.

 

Brand: Ulta

Name: Moody Blues

coats:3

pigment: a violet blue

price: $2.00 (sale)

 Oh what an amazing color. This violet blue polish is just breathtaking. I've been holding off using this color for a good five months or so. But I finally caved and wore this polish, and its just as beautiful as I thought it was. I was lucky enough to go to Ulta when they had their polishes on sale for $2.00 a bottle (stocked up on a few) I really enjoy Ulta's polish, and it can take a day of work without chipping!
