♥Revlon Dreamer♥

This is a polish I've been lemming over for awhile! I picked it up a few weeks ago and decided to wear it. Dreamer is a creamy baby blue and in some lights it looks almost like a Robin's egg blue. A little thick and a little streaky but I still love it. Used 2 coats for full opacity. ツ



♥Product review madly matte♥

I never wear the same polish for more than a few days so since I know virtual violet will be coming off in the next day or so I finally decided to use the kleancolor matte top coat I purchased and it works great.
Madly matte (just like other matte top coats) gives your polish a matte finish. While I'm not a fan of matte nail polishes I decided to mattify my manicure and I love it! It looks like a metallic finish. So o will be getting a back up bottle. If you don't want to pay the price of China glaze's matte magic this is a good alternative for only $1 ツ

♥Sally Hansen Virtual Violet♥

I have so many polishes from the Sally Hansen xtreme wear line and this is my first time wearing one. Virtual Violet is a beautiful purple with blue undertones almost a duochrome look. The formula is great maybe a little watery I'll see if this is a trend with the other polishes. It only took two coats and dries pretty quick which I love! ツ

♥Glittery goodness wet-n-wild rock-n-roll♥

I have tons of glitter polish and counting LOL! I was looking for a dark holo-glitter and this takes the cake! Wet-n-wild has a line of polishes for black eyed peas Singer fergie and while I'm not in love with all the colors this one is a winner! Opaque in 3 coats. As with most glitter polishes it feel like sand paper so two coats of top coat made it smooth and blingy ツ

♥Glittery goodness wet-n-wild Hanna Pinktana ♥

My love for all things glittery will never end. Especially as long as I can find it with pink! My fav color and this one is a winner! Wet-n-wild Hanna Pinktana is a dusty rose micro holo-glitter which is cute in the bottle but on the nail....spectacular! And in direct sunlight a glittergasm! It is from the fast dry line in that case the four coats to get it opaque didn't bother me at all. Topped with seich Viet quick dry top coat it was dry in 15 mins. With normal polish it would have taken forever. ツ

♥Glittery goodness wet-n-wild saved by the blue + sinful colors hottie♥

I don't know why I've been so in love with blue polishes but this is another winning combo. Wet-n-wild's saved by the blue is from the fast dry line and let me say this is the sickest blue polish I've ever seen the color is so rich! And its opaque in one coat! I will wear this again by itself! I used one coat of sinful colors hottie a stunning blue holo-glitter polish I hate the rainbow glitter didn't photograph too well cause its a beauty! ツ

2 rimmel polishes; hard metal and pink zinfandel 3 Sally Hansen salon manicure polishes; purple pulse, angel wings and black platinum.




♥possible dupe ♥

I was putting away some recently purchased nail polish (seems like I'm doing that every day ha!) And I noticed that wet-n-wild gray's anatomy and my newly purchased sinful colors let me go looks almost the same.

As I held the bottles up there was some slight difference. Let me go has more of a pinkish-gray duochrome while gray's anatomy is more of a purplish-gray duochrome. However they are both the same price at $2 at Walgreens. Gray's anatomy may be easier to find as wet-n-wild polishes are sold almost everywhere. I've only seen sinful colors at Walgreens. If you can't find one the other will work just fine. ツ

♥My Natural Nail♥

I get a lot of questions on how I grow my nails and keep them healthy and keep my natural color on the nail bed and my tips white. You would think with so much frequent Polish changes I would expirence breaks and staining. I rarely experience breaks unless its a freak accident or something. My nails seem to be pretty strong naturally. I use to wear them very long maybe 10mm of free nail. Now that my job requires typing its about 4mm now. What I do to take care of my nails is very simple. I do not cut them if I don't have to. I file them down instead. Cutting can cause splits or cracks in the nail bed, which can't stunt the growth. I use St Ives apricot scrub to scrub dead skin off my hands and around my nails. Yes I know its facial scrub but it has pumice in it and we use pumice stones in manis and pedis anyway so it seems to work. I also soak my hands once a week and push my cuticles back GENTLY!!! I apply cuticle oil and moisturizing lotion to my hands. Sometimes in between manis I will use Avon's length and strength complex. As far as how white my tips are that's just diet! Lots of veggies and proteins. And vitamins. Happy manis! ツ

Bare Minimum is a shimmer-cream like polish that looks taupe then green. I absolutely love this color! So far I'm impressed with ulta nail polishes then I decided to add a coat of China Glaze fairy dust nice combo ツ

♥A possible dupe?♥

As most nail Polish fanatics I have so many bottles of nail Polish till they all start to look alike. My good friend gave me a bottle of Sally Hansen's gem crush in Razzle Dazzler and I love it! Super sparkly glitter Polish! I plan on getting every color! Fast forward a few weeks later and I bought a ton of wet-n-wild polishes and I picked up what I believe is called sparkling (if not I will include the correct name in the comments) and when I got home and put them away I noticed how the colors are almost exact! S.H. does have a little more of a silver shimmer but if you're not willing to pay $5-$7 for Sally Hansen the wet-n-wild Polish works just as good and its only $1 I may wear both and do a comparison on how each polish wears ツ
