Orly Androgynie

Hello everyone!

Today I have for you Orly's Androgynie! Its a beautiful black based polish with tiny goldish glitter and larger multicolored hexagonal glitters. In the bottle it is amazing and on the nail it is very pretty but I can't say that I was ecstatic about it. First I'm going to insert a bottle picture so that you can see the difference between the bottle and the nail.

As you can see, it is STUNNING in the bottle and I was so excited to put it on. When I had finished painting my nails, top coat and everything, I was disappointed. The hexagonal glitters are a lot more sparse on the nail and the black base almost seems to be a little too heavy and covers up the brightness of the glitter. I hope that makes sense. I will now put in the pictures of the nails so you can see the difference clearly.

They really are quite different. Don't get me wrong I still loved it on my nails. It was beautiful but it wasn't what I thought it was going to be and just wasn't as exciting. I hope you guys have a wonderful evening!

OPI Funkey Dunkey

Hey girls!!
Just a quick post today. It's been a very busy day and late tonight I finally got the chance to paint my nails so I went for an untried. It just took two quick coats with really no clean up needed because the formula was pretty nice. The color is a tiny bit warmer in real life than it is in these pictures. Enjoy :)

I love dark purples and creams so this is obviously a winner for me. I hope that you guys liked it. Please leave comments if you wish, I LOVE reading them :) Talk to you guys soon!!

Essie Mint Candy Apple

Hey everyone!!

I decided to go with a more pastel color today as I have been doing a lot of dark colors lately. I hadn't tried Essie's Mint Candy Apple yet so I gave it a whirl. I have to say this was one of the worst polishes I have everrrrrrr applied. It was thin but goopy at the same time, it was streaky, and just a nightmare. I love the color so much but I'm not sure I'll ever use it again because it was such a pain! Although, looking at my nails now the color is so so beautiful that I probably will end up using it again :) the things we do for beautiful nails!

These pictures are three coats with base and top coat:

It's pulling a little too blue in these pictures, it's slightly greener. It is really pretty though and I'm hoping that I just got a dud bottle or something. That's all for now :)
Talk to you guys soon

OPI Got the Blues for Red

Hello ladies!!! I hope your days went well!

Today, I wanted to show you guys a beautiful red. Now I normally don't go for colors like reds and pinks because I find them too traditional, especially when they are creams, but when I saw this polish I fell in love with it.

Application was flawless, two coats for full coverage. It's a cream going on jelly finish. Its one of those deep expensive reds that I think everyone should have at least one of. It wasn't too runny but it wasn't too thick. It just was PERFECT!! I don't rave this often about how a polish applies but this one surprised me big time. Now onto the pictures :)

It really is beautiful and the application was just so great that I cant help but recommend this. OPI really impressed me with this one!!! Leave your comments and requests!! Thanks so much for reading!

Essie Incognito

Hey everyone! Today was one of the best days ever!! Thank you guys for all your support. It makes me feel so excited that I have people actually interested in the same thing as me!! Nail polishh!!!

I had someone ask about Essie today so I decided to paint my nails with Essie's Incognito. It's a beautiful green color that is one of my favorites. Essie wears really well on me, I can usually go chip free for about three days and I have to do a lot of dishes to do at work so that's saying something.

This is two coats of the polish and it was completely opaque. I use OPI Natural Nail Strengthner as a base coat and seche vite as a top coat. The color in real life is just slightly lighter and its not one of those shades that just looks black in the shade, it always looks green no matter what. It is just stunning! I completely recommened the Essie brand!!

Sorry about how jaundice I look here I just was trying to capture the color of the nail polish. I will have better pictures on the next post because I found my camera so I can finally stop using my iPhone!! :)

I hope you guys enjoyed!!!! Thanks again for all the lovely comments and new followers. Make sure to leave links to your blogs so that I can check them out and feel free to leave requests for polishes you'd like to see!!!!

XOXO Sam

NOTD Revlon Royal

Hey there!!!
Today I tried my first Revlon nail polish. I must say that I have been a slight product snob when it came to nail polish, partly because I work at a place where I can get the expensive stuff for cheaper and partly because it just has always worked so well for me.

I finally decided to branch out though with Milani and and Revlon because of the beautiful colors that they had. The Milani was great from a couple posts ago but the Revlon was a different story.

It is a little lighter in the pictures then in real life but only slightly. Its a jelly finish and just stunning!!! I'll list below the pictures the problems I had with the polish.

 Ignore the christmas PJ's they're just so comfy!!! :)

First ill start by saying that application was hell, it just seemed to be super gummy and thick and really hard to work with. That drives me nuts because then it takes me so much longer to get the polish to lay perfectly on my finger nails and not get on my cuticles. When I finally got that all worked out the color was beautiful!! If it had been any less beautiful I would have given up but it was worth it to take the time on this one. I don't know if I'll buy any of their other colors unless I feel this way about a color because I was so disappointed with the formula. Sorry about the rant :) Hope you all enjoyed!!!
Until next time!!!

Beautiful Illamasqua Jo'mina!!!!!

Hello Everybodyy!!!

For this post I am trying Illamasqua's polish for the first time. All I can say is stunning!!

The application was flawless I could have easily gotten away with one coat but of course I did two because I felt like I would find a flaw somewhere if I didn't.

 This is one of the most unique stunning polishes I've ever seen. I honestly have read so many blogs and no one seems to be able to find a dupe for it. I really think it is worth shelling out the money for. Not just for the color but how wonderfully Jo'mina applies, as well.

 And I had to take a picture with my cat shugar. She was wondering what her mama was doing, ha she sits with me every night when I do my nails. She's from the pound, I got her when she was two years old and she is just the sweetest cat in the entire world, hence the name :)  We have two others from the pound but they really could care less about my hobby they have better things to do with their time, like annoy the dogs. ;)

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I hope that I did the polish justice. I think that I captured the color pretty well but nothing could ever compare to seeing it in person!!

Talk to you soon!!!!
