Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Jazzy Jade

*Press Sample

Hey all!  Tonight I have another review from the box of goodies I got from Sally Hansen.  You all know by now that I am a huge sucker for a teal polish.  This one is no exception.  Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Jazzy Jade is a teal shimmer that took three coats to be opaque and even.  The formula was a bit weird on this one.  Was more sheer that I anticipated but look at the pretty shimmer.  It's so pretty.  My accent nail is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Perky Pink, a sheer pink base with glitter, layered over Barielle Pink Flip Flops, a light pink creme.  Perky Pink is not a polish to wear on it's own.  Both photos were taken is slightly overcast conditions.

You can stay up-to-date with all that Sally Hansen is up to on facebook here.  I hope you all have a great night (or day, depending on when you read this).

Until next time...

China Glaze Tart-y for the Party

Hello!  A few weeks ago I was in my favorite little hole in the wall nail supply store perusing the China Glaze racks and I picked up this purple that looked interesting.  I seem to be quite taken with all the pretty light purple/lavender polishes lately.  I had never heard of the name (not that I know all the polish names) so I decided to take a risk and get it.  When I got home and googled it I found it was from CG's spring collection, Avant Garden, that hasn't been released yet.  I went back to the supply store but he doesn't have any others from this collection.  This is Tart-y for the Party, a lovely lavender cream.  The formula was great.  Two coats and it was perfectly opaque and even.  There may be dupes out there but I don't own many purple creams so I am dupe free on this one.  I added a black accent on the side of each nail using tape and a black polish.  I really liked this mani a lot.  I will definitely be doing more side accents like this in the future.

You can see on my pinky that I didn't wait long enough before topcoating the black polish and it smeared a bit.  Not particularly noticeable in real life but photos bring out all the imperfections.  I hope you enjoyed today's nails.  What is your favorite way to do an accent nail?

Zoya Julie

Shade

Happy Saturday!  Today I have Zoya Julie from the LE Zang Toi trio.  I have been searching high and low for the perfect shimmery purple.  I had pretty much given up when Zoya released this trio for fashion week.  I normally shy away from showing you things that aren't easy to find but even though this is currently sold out, it may be out there for swaps.  Plus there is a good chance Zoya may bring it back for the spring collection.  This is two coats of Julie and it was amazingly perfect.  It is exactly the purple I was looking for.  Zoya describes it as an icy cool lilac and I think that's dead on.  Trixie came with the trio so I added a half moon accent to my ring finger.

This mani prompted a five minute discussion with Mr. MLiP where I tried to explain accent nails.  He just doesn't get it.  Every time I do an accent nail he ask's "Why do you want one nail that's different?". Boys I tell ya!  I hope you are all having a great Saturday.  I unfortunately, have to go to work later today.
