This post is a bit late but it is my New Years Eve nails. I went for something a little comfortable and not too crazy with the nail art. I love how it came out.<br />

Products Used:<br />
<br />
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out<br />
<br />
The NailStation in Graffiti (multicolored glitter)<br />
<br />
Seventeen Supreme (Gold foil glitter)<br />
<br />
L.A. Girls (no-name purple foil glitter)<br />
<br />
I put on the dotted pattern with just a dotting tool. I really love how cool the effect of the glitter was it actually looks like fireworks in the sky.<br />

Hope you enjoyed this.<br />

Wow, it feels so strange but not unwelcome. And while 2012 had its ups and down it was a good year...so it will be missed. I thought it would be nice to bring up all the really cool nail art that I personally enjoyed and was received well from my viewers also. Alot of nail art didn't make the cut but I really did enjoy these. So if your more interested in the how-to's and the products I used click on the links and it will take you there. Happy New Year!<br />

Its been a while. Life can really occupy our time and I havent been as available for my blog as before...so I had to take a break. An extremely long one I know. But Im back and I have Christmas nails to share with you, I got the inspiration for this from a post on the Zoya blog. <br />

In the spirit of the holidays I just couldn't resist using the ever so famous and loved China Glaze Ruby Pumps. The sparkliest and shiniest red glitter polish. Its an amazing color although it has photgraphed a tad bit brighter than in reality. In real life this color is soo stunning that Im constantly looking at and moving it in the light to see the glitter shine. I love it alone and with other designs, and its perfect for the winter! A definite must-have. <br />
<br />
The tree on my ring finger was made using:<br />
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On<br />
Zoya Envy<br />
China Glaze Ruby Pumps<br />
Jordana Supernatural<br />
and Radiant no 150<br />
<br />
So What do you think...is this look Holiday worthy? If youve done any holiday themed nail art please leave a link in the comments so I can check them out. I would love to see what you guys are rocking this Christmas day!<br />

Hows it going? So I'm feeling really good, I have a really manicure on...listening to an awesome song..."Pennies and dimes for a kiss!" Figured it out yet? Lol, I dunno I really hated this song when it first came out and know not only has it rubbed off on me, I'm singing at all randomnly awkward times of the day. I just think its so quirky and cute. Haha, anyway so my mood is pretty high. And what is this manicure that I'm so insane about. Well see for yourself.<br />

What is this utter fabulousness I have on you ask? Well, If you must know its a lovely little color by none other than Bourjois. I think this is supposed to be from their new collection (well probably not so new but anyway) thats called the 1 Seconde Polish with Gel texture. I would like pass by the stand and just I dunno wasn't interested. But one day while at work (obviously working very hard) I was flipping through a magazine and saw this color and I was like "wait...is this a Kim-Pletely In Love!". So on my way home I stopped by and got it. Along with the color on my ring finger. <br />
<br />
Anyway so the pink is Bourjois Nail Polish in Rose Delicat which is a light pink filled with multicolor shimmer, a-la Essie Pink-a-boo. Which I will be doing a comparison of soon. The reason why I was intrigued with this is because as you all know the formula on Pink-a-boo is more like Pink-a-poo! I mean its pretty bad. So I thought a 1-second polish should be good for all the coats you have to do with a sheer baby like this. So I got it, and I wasn't displeased. The formula was really good. It dries super quickly and because the color isn't as light as Pink-a-boo it didn't need too many coats. For me 3 coats was the perfect amount. Also, the brush on this bad boy is to die for. The best brush I've used in EVER. I mean its the perfect width and length and in one swipe my nail is covered completely, therefore no dragging or streaking or anything. And it says it has a gel texture, ok I dont think so but it does look super shiny and just overall tidy, so yeah thats great. Love Love Love it. The polishes in this collection sell for 6.75 JD (10$) at Sharmiran. I do thinks its overpriced but for the brush and my lack of drying time its worth it.<br />
<br />
As for my ring finger its by a brand called Radiant. I've never heard of it before but they have soooo many colors I'd thought I'd give it a go even though I dont really like spending alot of money on a brand I dont know. It costs 4.75JD (7$) at Sharmiran. This color doesn't have a name its no 150. Its just a metallic gold glitter. Love it...even though I feel like its very holiday-ish I still think it works perfectly for summer colors like maybe a turqoise. Anyway so yeah thats about it.<br />
<br />
What do you think of the Bourjois...is it worth 10$? Leave your comments down below.<br />

So lately as I'm sure most of you know my nails havent been in good shape. Their getting shorter and shorter everyday and I'm really just trying to detoxify them lol. I've actually made a pact with myself to stop buying any polishes that arent 3-free. This is much harder than I originally thought it would be but its a step I had to take because I'm totally unhappy with my nails. So having said that I havent been doing anything to my nails. So today I decided I would share some lovely nail art I've seen over the internet...hopefully in a week or so I'll do some of the design on my nails. But for now, this will have to do!<br />
<br />

I'm not sure who this design belongs to. But please not this is NOT my design...its just a really cute manicure that I found on the web...I cant remember where. I absolutely love how soft and girly this design is. Its definitely something I want to try and recreate.<br />
<br />

<br />
Omg...Do I even have to say anything! This manicure is amazing. Not only is this color making me soo jealous (its practically the most perfect peach ever) but the black bow is to die for. I found this from PrettyProject.tumblr.<br />

<br />
And this final look belongs to the amazingly super talented tartofraises. I mean this girl is soooo talented that I haven't seen her do one look that would take me less than 3 hours to complete, and she does it in like 10 minutes. Pure talent! <br />
<br />
Anyway, so this is where I've been looking for inspiration. I really need to give these looks a-go. I think when my nails are in better shape I'll do like a copycat week or something.<br />
Btw, in case your wondering...I dont think its ok to steal other peoples designs. So if this seems like I'm stealing, just read a little closer and you'll see that I give credit to where I got these designs from and who they belong to. I think its ok to take inspiration from other peoples work, otherwise they wouldn't put up these pictures all over the web and give tutorials on how to recreate the look. Thats just my opinion, and thats how I roll!<br />
So thats all for now,<br />

Hows it going...I'm enjoying my weekend and taking a break from all the Summer heat by staying mostly indoors and just lounging around. And Boy! am I loving it. Anyway, so as you all know I've been getting really sick of my old basecoat and mentioned that I needed to find a good one and asked my readers if they had any suggestions. So one of my readers, Maria, mentioned that I should try Color Club Smooth Operator Tinted Ridge Filler. So that same day, I headed out to Sharmiran...my go to beauty store. And I found it. Today, I have a comparison to share with you all. My old basecoat Flormar Nail Therapy Ridge Filler vs. Color Club Tinted Ridge Filler and Smoother, vs. Jordana Nails be Longer Basecoat. Just a little heads up, I have very unhealthy nails that are basically filled with ridges. Some nails more so than others but I think all my nails need to have some sort of smoothing basecoat over them before I can apply polish. If your nails are like that I think you'll benefit most from this post since this is mainly about ridge fillers. So check it out!<br />

I think my ring finger is the least affected by ridges out of all my fingers but you'll still get the point. As you can see my index finger doesn't really have ridges showing but the nail polish looks clumpy and totally un-smooth. Thats with the Flormar Ridge filler and thats whats been bugging me for such a while. That although my ridges dont show, the nail polish still doesn't look crisp. Then you have my ring finger with just the basic basecoat. Its fine but you can still see some ridges peeking through and the overall look isn't the most flattering. On some more heavily ridged nails it wouldn't do squat. Therefore for me this basecoat is totally not an option. Finally you have my middle finger with my newly purchased Color Club Ridge filler. You cant see any ridges and the color applied on smoothly and stayed that way. It is tinted but it doesn't really make a difference its more of a wash of color. And I've tried this with many different colors and finishes and its effect is quite great. I still dont know if this is the best ridge filler out there but it is one thats available in Jordan...so thats a start. I do recommend this actually and I will continue to use it so thanks Maria for filling me in on this. <br />
<br />
So Whats your favorite Basecoat? Please leave your thoughts or comments down below. I'd love to hear some feedback on this!<br />

So I know that maybe some of you are wondering why of been doing so many different looks with the same polishes. And well the answer is simple...because these polishes are so versatile. I'm just doing them justice. So I've shown you a bunch of different looks for Barielle Elle's Spell as to layering combo's and if your still not sold on it...<br />
Well you will be after you see these pics.<br />

Mmmmhm! What did I tell you? How awesome is that? I first saw this look on Makeup Withdrawal's blog and immediately knew that I was going to get my moneys worth out of Elle's Spell. I mean how many different looks can you make with this beast? <br />
Does this remind you a bit of Nfu-oh 51? Maybe I should do a comparison when that finally makes it into my hands. <br />
Also, is the flakie polish craze over? Cuz for me its just begun...I mean like I want every possible color flakie there is. Anyway, I hope you liked my combo...Oh yeah before I forget for the base color...its not very important because its a Seventeen polish which I know is hard to find but basically every polish company has a color like this out..its just a vibrant deep purple. So yeah thats about it.<br />
<br />
So are you still into the Flakie thing?...leave your comments down below. Cant wait to hear from you guys!<br />

Today I have a massive glitter post for you today. You know, I purchased <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Pure Ice SpitFire</strong></span> on a whim thinking that it could be a close or exact dupe for<span style="color: magenta;"><strong> OPI Teenage Dream</strong></span>. Since I dont have the two I cant compare them for you. But while I was looking through my stash I came upon <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Color Club's Magic Attraction</strong></span> and immediately felt curious to know how they would look next to each other. I even felt a bit upset because I felt like it was further from <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Teenage Dream</strong></span> than I originally expected. I still dont know how sold I am on it as a dupe but I am happy with a pink scattered holographic glitter polish....so yeah! But anyway heres my comparison.<br />

So as you can see they are very close but definitely not dupes. <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Magic Attraction</strong></span> is a more densely packed glitter in a clear base with some holographic shimmer in it. <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Spitfire</strong></span> is a more sparsely placed holographic glitter in pinkish/clear base. These pictures are 2 coats <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Magic Attraction</strong></span> vs. 2 coats <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Spitfire</strong></span>. With <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Spitfire</strong></span> I still had some VNL going on but with <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Magic Attraction</strong></span> the opacity built up very well. The formula on <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Spitfire</strong></span> was a bit less attractive than <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Magic Attraction</strong></span> because it was on the thicker side. <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Magic Attraction</strong></span> slides on nicely. But the bigger sized glitter pieces in <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Spitfire</strong></span> win me over completely. Although they are close I dont mind having them both in my collection because I know I will get use out of both of them. So thats always great.</div>

R. Watkins Ultra Rich Hand Cream and My Hand Care RoutineHey loves, so I felt like writing something about this amazing hand cream that I literally can't believe exists. But, instead of just doing a simple review on it I thought I'd also share a bit about my hand care routine. Now this routine I describe isn't stringent, meaning that half the time I don't do it. But you can bet your beautifully polished nails that when my hands are in need of some TLC I turn to this routine and see the benefit automatically. So if you want to see more... Just read on! <br />
<br />
First I'm going to start off with the product in the post title and that would be <strong><span style="color: magenta;"><em>J. R. Watkins Ultra Rich Hand cream</em></span></strong>. Have you ever heard of it. I don't know too much about this company But from what I've gathered they stress about natural products being in their ingredients and this is from their site <strong>"... Contains only natural, enviornmentally friendly ingredients from renewable Resources, avoiding chemicals like parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and more..."</strong> All in all I like a company that stresses natural products because who wants a load of gunk all of their hands that could potentially be harmful. Uhhh, no one that's who! <br />
<br />

Ok so the reason why I'm so in love with this cream is because as those of you who have followed me through winter know I have quite a hand issue. I actually have something called Raynauds phenomenon or syndrome which is a vasospastic Disorder that causes blood flow to become restricted to the fingers and toes. Basically they become discolored, enlarged, and in my case extremely painful. From periods of severe swelling back to normal size the skin on my fingers become very tired and super dry. The skin begins to peel and well its not the prettiest thing. This winter along with using anti-inflammatory drugs I used this hand cream. I immediately felt the difference. My hands stay soft thought multiple hand washes. I go out and come home with the same soft hands I left with. And on top of all that I'm in love with the smell. It's not your typical smell but it sure does tickle my fancy. It smells like clean fresh picked cotton or sheeps wool. Does that make any sense? Anyways love the smell. Impeccable! It doesn't give the hand that nasty oily feel that some lotions do, and this is great for cracked skin so if you have super dry elbows, knees, heels...this should do the trick. And plus this only costs 7.99$ so that's great too. I don't know what stores this is available from but you can order it online directly from their website. <br />
<br />
As for my hand care routine what I like to do is a bit different but not tedious at all. I like to start off by cleaning my nails completely, then take my four step nail buffer thing and just using all of the sides on my nails until its all buffed and shiny. Next I use my Sally Hansen Cuticle Remover and remove my cuticles. Next I take jojoba oil and rub it all over my nails. Then I take Vaseline ( the jelly kind) and dab it on the dryer places on my hands and just wait until my skin has naturally absorbed it without rubbing it in too much. Then I take my J. R. Watkins hand cream and smooth it on all over my hands and nails. Finally a bit of cuticle cream and I'm good to go. And I'll do all of those steps when I'm just lying around getting ready for bed. Trust me its a very do-able process. I know that some people use Saran wrap on their hands to lock in the moisture but I hate that stuff it really bothers me and I could never stand it on my skin so what you could do is put on some light gloves and just leave them for a while and that should do the trick, although I don't know where they sell light cotton gloves except in Jordan lol. Maybe I'm wrong. <br />
<br />
So that was long, I hope you've enjoyed this. Take cares my pretties! <br />

Hows it been. I've been mentally stressed out over my distraught nails. I feel so bad for them and they are breaking more and more each day. I'm sure its because of my new work and lack of any protection on them. But they need to air out...and in the process they are getting much worse. So much so that my pizzaz for doing my nails has dwindled. That combined with my repeated catastrophic attempts at water marbling has helped me reach an all-time low. I hope this doesnt last for long because I need to get my spark back. Its not like I'm not buying nail polish, I am almost every day. Its just I havent been doing all the nail art I wish I would with all the new polishes I have. Grrr. Well anyway.<br />
<br />
So today I want to show you something I'm IN LOVE WITH!. Like Hello! The base is OPI Funny bunny as you can tell from my post. Then I put some Essie Shine of the Times over it to make it more fun. Then I mattified it and my end result was something I was gawking over for literally hours!<br />

So you know I wish I had a better camera specifically for polishes like these because honestly you in no way can see the depth of this polish simply through these photos. IRL they catch the light at every which angle and it in turn catches your attention and its a never-ending cycle. So these pics are before the matte topcoat. If you want to know how I got the previous combo, all I did was two coats of OPI Funny Bunny, which is a white semi-sheer jelly...not so extravagant on its own but really makes a difference in this manicure as opposed to a white creme. And here are the pics after the matt topcoat.<br />

<br />
I think the last picture is the clearest because I used a much better camera for it. I just adore the awesome effect the matt gives it. I feel like it captures all the flakies in still time and you can see all the different light flickers together. I couldn't think of a better way to wear this mani than simply as it was. Love Love Loved it! Try it out you guys...You wont be disappointed. <br />
<br />
Well not as disappointed as I am with my sad sad nails. I dont know what to do? Has this every happened to anyone of you? Any tips?<br />
<br />
Thats all for now loves!<br />

<br />
I'm sure its obvious that my ridge filler isn't doing its job. And this shade isn't helping either. But I am on the hunt for a good ridge filler. I'm thinking I'll try out Zoya or Essie. What bothers me is that they have like nail strengthening base coats but they dont have ridge filler/nail strengthening basecoats. Like is that impossible to do or what...cuz I need that. This is the third time I've cut my nails down in 2 weeks. They are so unhealthy. Anyway I've drifted off topic.<br />
<br />
Arissa Rosette is a medium dusty rose color. In the bottle its like very muted but as you can see in the sun the polish almost has a metallic look to it. In the shade your getting exactly the bottle color on your nails. I've said this on my previous review of Arissa...this polish has very good formula. Its consistency was rather thin but very controllable. I applied three coats as it is kind of sheer. The brush on this isn't as wide as I would love but its good. Overall, I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried this on. I dont think this polish is for me though, and I probably wont be wearing it. I do recommend it though for people who like soft muted colors. <br />
Thats all for today.<br />

Forgive me for my absence between posts. I honestly dont know how this keeps happening. Everytime I come back to write a post I realize its been like 4 days since my last. Shame...Shame! Hopefully you'll forgive me once you see these swatches. This nail polish was given to me as a gift from my sister-in-law along with alot of other polishes, some of which I've already posted about. Anyway I kept bugging her about finding Fantasy Fire for me and so she came with the next best thing. Well almost! Oh yeah and before I forget...I officially made my first nfu-oh purchase. And yeah, you guessed im sure, it was nfu-oh's famous 51. If your interested in getting one I found mine on fabuloustreet for 11.25$. Now I just have to wait, patiently mind you, until I get it. Anyway, so back to the swatches.<br />

So these swatches are 2 coats Max Factor Dazzling Blue above 2 coats black. I gotta say as much as I like this color I didn't particularly enjoy it too great. I think its because its in that blue/green range which I'm generally not too fond of but somehow have so many polishes in the same range. I do appreciate its shiny-ness and its subtle shimmer. I liked it much better over white.<br />

If youve every read any of my posts about neons (which I hope you have) you'll know that I'm not the biggest fan of them. Mainly because they have become such a staple in most Jordanian girls polish stacks that the sight of neons almost makes me want to vomit. Having said that...I think I may have changed my mind and underestimated the power of a carefully chosen pink neon. <br />

I wont even pretend to know how to describe this color because that will only exemplify my profound inability to talk color. But be warned these pictures arent completely color accurate even though I really tried to get the color to show up right. I'd say the closest one to the real color is the second picture. The only thing I will say about this color is that I believe this pink has blue undertones so that it gives it a vibrant yet deep color. So it is neon but its not the most in your face popping kind of pink. Actually this pink is going to be rocked on my nails for alot of this Summer. So if your like me and tend to shy away from neon pinks definitely do give this color a chance and you will be pleased. Now I think I have to go back and try out some other neons. Who knows maybe I'll become a full blown neon lover!!</div>

Anyway so these pictures speak better than my description of them. But all I want to say is that this has definitely become a staple in my collection. I love it the most over the white because it makes me feel like a snow princess. I like it over black as well but that feels like a very fall-ish color to me. I'm gonna be doing a version of this white soon and posting it up. Just a sneak peak: it involves OPI Funny Bunny. I think its gonna look amazing! Until then,<br />

Hows it been, it feels like I haven't posted in forever. But thats only because I loved my last manicure so much I rocked it up until yesterday. Thats Cray Cray right? Well anyway, so today I want to show you an experiment I tried out the other day and was absolutely ecstatic about showing you guys and then somewhere along the way I forgot about it. Anyway, First and Foremost let me just say I think the greatest addition to my polish collection has been <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Essie Shine of the Times</strong></span>. I mean it takes any old blah manicure and turns it into heaven. But only after this manicure did I realize the true glory behind this polish. <br />

This is exactly what I wanted <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Barielle Elle's Spell</strong></span> to be like. Even when I layered it over <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Misa Lovebite</strong></span> it still didn't give me that extra oomph I was looking for. But this manicure...boy oh boy. The darkness of Lovebite nicely offsets the brightness of Shine of the Times. And no matter which direction you turn your hand the light will automatically catch the flecks and bring something extra to the table. I probably wont be wearing this in Summertime because I like to give each season its own features but I know that I'll have this on all throughout fall and winter. So if you have Elle's Spell and like me wish for more give this a try and tell me what you think. And I'll be posting up a couple more things with <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Essie Shine of The Times</strong></span> in it so stay tuned. <br />
<br />
P.s. My <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Pre-100 Follower Giveaway</strong></span> ends tonight...so gets to entering!<br />

Anyway, so I immediately took out some funky colors and got to work. I'm absolutely adoring how this came out and I'm sure this will be on my nails for a good while, as I rock it out! Hello.<br />

How awesome is that? So obviously I used <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Barielle Blossom</strong></span> on my index and pinky. It was also sponged onto my other two nails. I also sponged in <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Inglot 961</strong></span>, <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Sally Hansen Green with Envy</strong></span>, and <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Maybelline Divine Clementine </strong></span>on a white base for my middle and ring finger. Topcoat sealed the deal and I was good to go. So easy to do and didn't take more than 20 minutes to do including dry time. Btw, when you sponge on colors it generally doesn't take a long time to dry so you dont need to wait as long as you would for your regular coats of polish. This wasn't my cleanest manicure ever but it definitely was a great one. So summery. Oh and the zebra design is from one of my <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Konad</strong></span> plates. I consistently go back to the same plate...I dunno why!<br />

Boy is Summer zooming on by. I cant believe we're almost in July. Of course half of the plans I had to do throughout summer aren't even close to being done. Which is what happens every year. But I still have time so heres to hoping. I just made an order from <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Zoya</strong></span> yesterday taking advantage of their awesome <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Pinterest Special</strong></span>. If you haven't seen this its for 3 polish from their Beach and Surf Collection for 15$ plus free shipping. Amazing. Its like buying one polish and gettting two free. How can I refuse. I'm also contemplating ordering a couple of polishes from <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Illamasqua</strong></span> if they still have their free international shipping. Cuz daaaang that can get expensive. <br />
<br />
Anyway, so off topic. Today I have swatches of <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Misa Lovebite</strong></span>.<br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Misa Lovebite</strong></span> is a dark blood red vampy jelly. Yes it is a jelly as you can see it has that squishy-ness that characterizes a jelly. What I love about this polish (besides it being blood red) is that its application is fairly good considering its a jelly and dark red. Usually polishes like that are tricky to apply leaving streak lines all over your nail. But no this was very easy to apply. And formula was good too. I didn't necessarily like the brush on this polish though, I found it too small for my liking. The pictures above are three coats. I dont exactly know why I applied three coats. Its not that it wasn't enough at two but I just felt like it needed a third coat. But stay tuned because this polish will be the backdrop of a very excellent experiment I tried and I really want you guys to see it too. <br />

Whats going on? So as you can tell from my post title, this is about <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Zoya Envy</strong></span>. Uhhh, the sheer beauty of it is insane. I know alot of people that dont find green polish to be flattering. But when you see it on my nails you can automatically tell that this polish is a good do-er. I'm sure this color works on every skintone possible. I'm still wiping off the drool from when I first applied this. lol<br />

Was I exaggerating? hehe, I didn't think so! You know I originally fell in love with the whole dark green look when I saw Scrangie's post about <strong><span style="color: magenta;">Nars Zulu</span></strong>. I wanted it, yet I knew I would never find it...so I began looking for alternatives and for me <strong><span style="color: magenta;">Zoya Envy</span></strong> seemed like the perfect one. Darkened green, can appear black in some lights but in most lights its an obvious dark forest green. Creamy and smooth and oooh so shiny. The formula on this beauty was impeccable. I had not one single complaint about it. Of course the <strong><span style="color: magenta;">Zoya</span></strong> brushes help tremendously with application and again and again I'm tempted to buy so many more polishes because I just have to have more. The pictures above are two coats each. Removal was a breeze although I thought it would be too difficult the color came off very easily. So altogether this polish gets an A+ for exceeding my already high expectations. What do you think?<br />

Strange, huh? Well let me break it down. I did a slanted cheetah print on my thumb with the base of <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Color Club Incognito</strong></span> and dotted the cheetah with <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>OPI Senorita Rose-alita</strong></span>. For my index I used a base of <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Color Club Oh Naturale</strong></span> and Did the rose with <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Essie No More Film</strong></span>. My middle finger is done the same as my thumb but with a full print. My index finger is <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Orly Ingenue</strong></span>. My pinky finger is the same base as my index but the rose is made with <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Essie Olie Caliente</strong></span>. The leaves design are with .<strong><span style="color: magenta;">Sally Hansen Green with Envy. </span></strong><br />

So, Hit or Miss? <br />

I was not kidding. <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Zoya Anastasia</strong></span> is a deep Brown with what zoya calls strong "Purple undertones, golden Plum duochrome, and heavy Gold microglitter." I couldn't agree more! Definitely a brown color, but the golden glitter is strong, and the plum douchrome is always noticeable at every angle. I got a close up shot so you can see how packed with glitter it is.<br />

You know I'm really so pleased with the polishes I got from <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Zoya,</strong></span> so I need get a few more polishes and make my collection bigger. In the short period of time I've owned these I have been complimented so much on my choice in polishes and I know its because these are truly special polishes. These pictures here are two coats. I wouldn't call this a one-coater because you would definitely need two to just even it out. Application was relatively easy and the formula on this polish was really good. Overall, I'm sold on this.<br />
<br />
If your interested in trying out a <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Zoya</strong></span> polish for the first time or just want to add more to your collection you can click <a href="https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/01204FE1">HERE</a> and make an account and you will automatically receive a free polish to your account. Amazing right! <br />
<br />
Also dont forget to enter my <span style="color: magenta;"><strong>PRE-100 Follower Giveaway</strong></span> because it ends soon.<br />
Anyway, talk to you soon.<br />

You know I would have never thought to get a polish from a clothing store just because I would guess its not good quality, but I've heard alot about these H&M polishes and I was very excited to try it when I got it as a gift. Anyway so here is Lady Luck which is a duochrome btw! Love.<br />

H&M Lady Luck is a dark metallic green polish to gold duochrome polish. Simply a must have. Quality is very very fine. This took two coats and thats mostly out of habit because you could definitely get away with only one. Formula on this was very good and easy to work with. The brush was also good, its a tad bit bigger from the bottom than the top (like fan shaped) but very easy to work with. Have you noticed that all of my duochromes have to have green in them. Strange because green wouldn't be my first pick! but still beautiful! Thats all for today.<br />

Ugghh, I hate being away from posting so long but everything has been so hectic recently and plus I was sick so theres that too! Anyway so today I want to show you <strong><span style="color: magenta;">Barielle Blossom</span></strong>. So this was kind of a let down-ish for me! Mainly because I expected it to be alot more on the peachy side but when I got it I was immediately let down. Then I tried it and now I have mixed feelings. But I'll tell you more about that later. <br />
See this bottleshot shows you why I had falsely assumed that it would be peachier.<br />

A very pretty color but not what was expected. Now you can see why I was let down-ish!<br />
<strong><span style="color: magenta;">Barielle Blossom</span></strong> is a light pink cream that in certain lights leans peach. In certain lights...like in my lightbox it gives off a peachy look. I dont know if it was just my bottle but the formula on this was horrendous. I had the hardest time applying it. It was thick and bumpy. I first applied 2 layers and then begin to notice the polish was clumping towards the tips so applied a third. Then it began getting uneven so I applied another coat until finally I felt there was a little too many coats and just let it be. At the end it looked fine but not what I had come to expect from a company like <strong><span style="color: magenta;">Barielle</span></strong>. But it may just have been my bottle. And since I'm not your biggest pink fan I chose to do some small nail art on my ring finger to change it up a bit. <br />

Today, I want to show you the two polishes from <strong><span style="color: magenta;">Orly</span></strong> that I got in my recent haul. Btw, if your wondering most of the polishes I purchased were bought from <strong>Transdesign</strong>. Honestly, they are amazing...I mean they dont have the biggest range of polishes but you'll more than likely find what your looking for. And they sell at like half the prices of other stores. Oh and Heads up; these are pics of my left hand so my nails are a bit shorter. Anyway, so here they are!<br />

<strong><span style="color: magenta;">Orly Night Owl</span></strong>...Finally in my posession! This amazing putty brown with amazing silver microshimmer has been on my wishlist since forever. And my oh my has it been worth the wait! It has a definite earthy feel to it and I feel vegan when I'm wearing it...How weird right? lol. Its the most flattering polish on my skintone that I have ever owned. It brings subtleness and a bit of sass to the equation and I simply cant wait until wintertime to wear this non-stop! Its formula was amazing. Applied perfectly within two coats. And I dont even feel like it needed a topcoat just because it had enough shine on its own. AMAZING!<br />

<strong><span style="color: magenta;">Orly Ingenue</span></strong>...Another biggy on my wishlist. J'adore! <strong><span style="color: magenta;">Ingenue</span></strong> is a duochrome shimmer polish that flips between copper and purple at the slightest hand shift. Application was totally easy being perfect at two coats and the formula was great to for a completely shimmery polish. I loved looking at this on my hands and everybody complimented me while wearing this. Its a screamer...I can tell you that. You will definitely get noticed while wearing this...thats for sure! Love, love, love!<br />
