Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Glory

*Purchased by me*

Hey guys!  Happy 4th of July to all my US readers!  Happy Friday for everyone else.  For today's mani I used Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Glory, the most gorgeous shimmery blue.  The formula on this one is a bit thick but it's very pigmented and was easy to apply.  I'd rather have a polish on the thick side than runny and a pain to apply honestly.  I used two coats and top coat and I was good to go.  Since this is a 4th of July mani I just had to add something.  I used star decals from Nail Vinyls and a holo top coat from Polish Addict Nail Color to add the stars to this mani.

Glory is no longer available but I just got some awesome blogger mail from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer.  This summer collection is to die for.  So head on over to facebook and give BEGL a like so you can be ready for the summer collection.  You can purchase BEGL here.  I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.  Happy 4th of July!!!

Until next time...

New York Color Polish Review

*Press Sample*

 Good morning!  Today I have a review of three shades from the In A New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish line.  Wow that's a mouthful haha!  These polishes retail for $1.99 and I have to say at that price point they are so worth it.  All three polishes are shown with two coats and no topcoat.  Each polish also has a sun picture and shade picture.

First up is Jacaranda Flower, a gorgeous purple cream.  My dad has a jacaranda tree in his front yard and when it flowers they are exactly this color.  Love it!  The first coat went on a little streaky and almost jelly like.  The second coat evened it out nicely.

This pretty coral cream is Tropicoral.  It had an awesome formula!  Even and smooth.

Lastly I have the most perfect green, Palm on the Beach.  The formula on this one was somewhere in between the other two in terms of quality.  Definitely took two full coats to even out.

I went without my normal quick dry top coat since these are quick dry polishes.  They did dry pretty quickly, not Seche Vite quickly but still pretty good.  You can find New York Color polishes at drugstores or check out newyorkcolor.com.  Have a great day!

Until next time...

I Believe That We Will Win

Hello!  Anyone else living in a house that has World Cup fever?  My husband and oldest son love soccer.  We've watched just about every match so far.  I'm sure my boys will run around all day tomorrow singing I Believe That We Will Win at the top of their lungs.  I do admit to watching today's France/Nigeria match while on the treadmill because these guys have awesome legs and mad skills.  So let me give you the polish run down here so we can move on to the bubble issues.  My base is OPI No Room For the Blues, one of my favorite blues.  Then I used Salon Perfect Save Me a Spot, the large circles, and Boom Boom Boom, the smaller hexes.  First I have to say that I love this idea.  The problem was the thickness and quantity of the base.  Especially Save Me a Spot.  Holy cow it was so thick!  I had to pick the circles out of the bottle and place them on the nail which caused to much base to glob on my nails.

I top coated it all and it dried pretty quick so that was a positive.  I was given some advice on how to apply glitters like this using a make up sponge that is supposed to help minimize the bubbles.  Did any of you have any better luck with these polishes?

Until next time...GO USA!!!!

Sally Hansen Red, White and Hue

*Press Sample*

Hey all!  I recently got a few of the Sally Hansen Color Frenzy polishes to review.  I'll get them up soon but I wanted to make sure to show you Color Frenzy Red, White and Hue before the 4th of July.  This polish is perfect for a patriotic mani.  It's made up of red, white and blue glitters in multiple sizes.  I started with a base of Zoya Trixie and then layered on coat of Red, White and Hue on top and then dabbed on a second coat.  The base is a little thick so the second coat required dabbing to fill in the sparse spots.

This is just so shiny and fun!  Perfect for the 4th or for the US World Cup game on Tuesday.  Have a great day!

Until next time...
